Average Jane Biz *Review* EZ20Now

Now, I want to preface this blog by saying that I am NOT jumping programs and I AM fully devoted to the Free Online Cash System. I feel that it is necessary to disclose that information, in the event anyone mistakes this blog for something other than it is.

With that being said, I am happy to share with you the popular "EZ20Now" business opportunity that you may have noticed marketed online lately. My husband and I were able to invest $20 in to this business and give it a test drive. We wanted to see if it was a genuine system, or just another "bait and switch." We went through a friend that was having success in the EZ20Now business and copied what he did.

Well, neither my husband and I are webmasters, or professional website builders. We are handy with HTML and website coding. HOWEVER, we DID struggle with getting the coding squared away to get the site up and running. It took some time and fooling around to get it right, but after all was said and done, it was up and running.

The next step was to market the website. We added it to every resource the EZ20Now founders make available. Now, keeping in mind that it is the SAME resource all of the other EZ20Now owners were using, we also tried to 'think outside of the box' and find other avenues to market, such as forums, videos, etc. We used a tracking URL to see how much traffic we were actually generating and be able to target the marketing techniques that worked best.

The unfortunate part for us was that we had no lead capture page. You can call it a splash page, landing page, etc. Basically, that simple page you go to and enter your contact information. Because of that, the hundreds of visitors that did not purchase the program are forever lost to us. Which is a shame, because maybe the FreeOnlineCashSystem would have better suited them. All of the visitors saw the same marketing page as all of the EZ20Now owners have. Nothing personal, intimate, relational to get them interested in us as business owners and human beings.

We tried to create a capture page and yet, we struggled again, trying to get the HTML code to work with the existing code for the website. Having some experience in marketing, we opted to create another way for visitors to get to know us and request information. This still did not yield the results that we had hoped for. Especially, with all of the time we put into marketing it. Even with one sale, if we put in more than 20 hours per sale, we were earning $1 an hour and that was insane.

Yet, despite the tone of the last few sentences, we DID make one sale. We had 100% ROI (return on investment) and so from this point on, anything else is profit. We left our website in rotation of various traffic exchanges, in the event the timing is right for someone else. But, we have had our experience and are satisfied with breaking even.

The one sale we made was to a gentleman who was quite savvy with HTML and I believe he had his website up within an hour. This is not the average consumer though. Now, if a person decided to utilize the third party hosting company that EZ20Now recommends, they will see their site in a couple of days, but with far less stress than we had. They can read the e-books and other benefits offered in the back office, and get familiar with the product, while they wait.

It is a viable business with a product that is worth the price tag, and bonuses beyond that. The creators are consistently working to improve the benefits for all EZ20Now owners. For us, it was a lot of work to get the website up and running and the alternative was extra money spent on a hosting company to do the work on our behalf.

We give the EZ20Now system 4 out of 5 stars.
