Do you have a ballpark figure of how much money she'd like to make each month?

This looks like it could be quite useful. I do think the site would benefit from the addition of case studies. If you don't want to publicly share any on a blog, you could set up an email opt-in to receive them.

You're welcome. Have you tried seeing if any of the editors of your target publications are active on Twitter or Facebook? Both can be a good starting point for building relationships.

"I'll think I'll have to run some A/B tests to see what effect the little guy and his different expressions have on visitors."

Excellent idea. And that's exactly the type of activity that would make for a great blog post!

Nice work! I'm generally pretty immune to copy, but that would definitely get my attention.

Also, good job eliminating the extra page in between clicking the button and the contact page.

The only thing I'm not 100% sure about is the character on the contact page. It's a high quality illustration, but his expression might cause an upset/worried feeling when someone hits that page. Now that your copy is so good, I would consider removing him and just centering the copy & contact form.

Any plans to start a blog about your tests and subsequent product development? I know I'd be very interested in reading it, and I think a lot of other people here would as well.

This looks like a great start. The first suggestion I would make is listing the features down the page instead of across. I think that will make it significantly easier for visitors to see what your platform has to offer.

Also, I would expand some of the sections. For example, under Listings Distribution Network -

Landlords and Managers: List your properties for free

Agents and Brokers: Save time by quickly searching for quality properties that match your desired criteria

Although it's a cheesy title, check out the "Letters That Produced Miraculous Results" chapter in Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People". It will give you some great ideas about how to get a response from the initial email you send.

I think the real value of this type of testing would come from actually talking to people who are interested in your product.

With that goal in mind, I would change the "I'm Interested" button to a single email submission field with a call to action like "Get Started".

Once somebody submits the field, give them a confirmation message to check their inbox. Then in that email, explain that the product is under development and their feedback would be valuable.

Do you have some specific questions in mind that you want these leads to answer for you?

Congrats on diving in and creating something!

I would remove the Learn More button. You've got useful information on that page, so just take it and put it directly below your signup box.

Also, I'm guessing English isn't your first language based on some minor issues like:

Or invite new potential suppliers to see what is their best price -> Or invite potential suppliers to submit their best price

Make Savings -> Save Time and Money

You did a great job of making it dead simple to sign up for something really useful!

After simply entering my domain name & email, I received a confirmation that my site was up, followed by a 2nd email with my account details.

This seems like a cool concept. I think it would be useful to add some theme screenshots to the homepage. From what's currently there, I couldn't tell what kind of theme I would end up with.

Your landing page images look great. However, instead of the slider, I think a static version with all of them on the page would be provide a better user experience.
