Pretty sweet commercial, my understanding is they plan to air it during the upcoming superbowl. I'm going so start with:
-facebook ads (today)
-making a youtube video "2016 using wix" or whatnot (soon)
-make a "design agency" site, I'll post it here

Question: why are you promoting Wix? What strategy or direction are you going for?

If it were me, on a broad appeal offer like this that doesn't have much in the way of short-term gratification to users, I would be targeting very niche clusters of users, e.g. dentists who don't yet have a mobile-ready website, mechanics who aren't easy to find, etc. and capitalise on the fear that if they are not online, their competitors are beating them.

Hey Zeno,
I'm promoting Wix because I had success promoting it earlier this year and have experience doing/selling web design. I've got a rough idea what goes through people's minds when wanting their first business-type of website (or at least I think I do).

100% intend to niche down - was thinking photographers and journalists but idk yet. Unfortunately, got hit by bot traffic today, so things are going to be stalled.

On an unrelated note I'm trying an interesting youtube SEO experiment today:
1) Pick keyword/offer
2) Purchase exact-match domain
3) Make standard Wordpress with handful of posts containing relevant videos
4) Generate XML *video* sitemap
5) Ping google

It can get the site indexed within the hour...so I hear/hopefully.

Found something cool if constantly running into "that email is already registered" message:

For gmail accounts throw a period in there, apparently google ignores them. In other words, one could sign up to a website with:
johndoe@gmail.com
john.doe@gmail.com
j.ohndoe@gmail.com
etc

...and all emails would go to johndoe@gmail; also seems (so far) like no forms around the web recognize this.

It's a behaviour on Gmail's end - emails can certainly have periods in them, it's just that Google strips them on incoming emails. It is unlikely to work with any other email provider.

Oh ya that's what I imagined, but I was more saying if someone was looking to make several accounts on any given website, something like

michaeljordan@gmail.com

Went from 1 email to at least 12 (haven't tried adding multiple periods between the letters). Simplifies things a bit vice excel sheet tracking or if using automation for 2-step verification and such. Could look at this another way too - if you make a web app with user accounts, you may want to implement cell phone verification.

In addition to adding . s, you can change @gmail to @googlemail. You can also add +whatever to the name as well to give you a gazillion different permutations.

That said, most web services ... at least the ones that know what they are doing ... will recognise these permutations as a single account and address.
