From need comes desire
When I first bought the internet marketing graphics pack from Max, I was originally going to use it just for little ol’ me but after using it again and again on many of my blogs and getting so bloomin tired of waiting for the wordpress media gallery to load I figured I should write a simple plugin to quickly add whatever graphic I wanted. >>>Plugin Here
From desire comes action
As with anything to do with code that I do, it started of as a simple task and quickly evolved in to an exercise of ‘what if’ 
I didn’t like the way the current shortcodes button and window worked and I have done a lot with jquery ui dialogs in the past so I figured I would see if I could replace the tinymce way of doing things with my own version.
Oh.. the pain and trauma that little idea caused! according to some, it was not possible to do.
From Action comes Results
But, in the immortal words of captain Jean-Luc Picard, “Things are only impossible until they are not!”
I wasn’t going to let a little thing like “nobody did it before” stop me and so I turned on beast mode and attacked it and then turned on the geek and wooted the hella out of it until it did my bidding and finally, it was done!
Feedback had my back
Thanks to some wonderful beta tester feedback I was able to improve the plugin even more and make it ready for sale. Half way through the week, more feedback meant it got even better! and finally, it is at a place I’m comfortable charging a premium price for.
Launch mode on
I offered it up at a discounted price for just 7 days and it sold! a ton of people bought it and all that lost hair was worth it and now, as I look back on the past 7 days I can

What next?
I have a massive list of new plugins that I want to write. Stuff that I know will be useful, I know that because either I have been using them for my own things for ages but just never got around to releasing them or people have asked me why there isn’t a plugin to do ‘x’ yet and I know I can make just the thing.
The only downside..
Just about the only thing I don’t enjoy is the writing of copy. For emails or for sales pages, that is such a painful thing for me to contemplate! I can get it done but it takes far longer than it should.
I write the title… then go switch on the kettle to make coffee and then dance around it a bit hiding from the keyboard.. then I make the coffee (slowly).. then sit down and contemplate…sip the coffee..think about what to write and then.. oh wait, no more coffee.. time to make some more… (rinse and repeat)
oh I really wish I could talk to people in PHP . That way it’d be done in 2 minutes flat! (and I could write an algorithm to automate the process!)
Sending emails to folks is just fine when I’m replying to something that someone sent me but, it all changes when I’m writing emails to send to my list. I do hope you all understand what I’m saying and I hope that I didn’t litter your inbox too much!
I don’t want to just send any old crap though so all that pain is worth going through if it means I can get you a bargain or pass on some cool stuff that I have just made.
Speak to me!
Let me know in the comments if you have an easier way to write emails or if I’m alone in my pain and it’s really not that hard to write them. Also, let me know what you think of my emails, too many? too much? ok? indifferent.. it’s all good, talk to me and let me know what you think

This is a really cool plugin, saves time and effort when building sales posts/pages.
hey thanks for your comment Justin (and thanks for the review video on youtube)

I’ve just bought the plugin and I love that you can import your own graphics. The way it handles directories is superb and anyone who passes getting it at this price will regret it later.
Just imagining have a lot of images in one place and the ability to use them over and over on every new blog!

This plugin looks pretty cool. Just wanted to let you know that your link is broken, though.
thanks Steve, fixed it now!
Andy Bailey recently posted..Global CommentLuv Search
Hey Andy,Just a note to say that your link,
is not typed correctly. You typed: and it should be: . You added a “p” after the “im” at the start of the address.
Cheers

oh dear, rookie mistake of not testing links before publishing!
thanks for the heads up!
Andy Bailey recently posted..CommentLuv Premium
I guess it didn’t want to display my paste of your link, but you get the idea. Your link creates an error page. Remove the “p” and you’ll be gold

This looks so simple and very helpful! I use Comluv right now and it is a superior product. I don’t even have a shadow of a doubt that this product is superior also. I am not in the market for this kind of plugin at the moment but I will be this year. (I have plans) So when I am ready I WILL come back and grab it.
Thanks Andy for creating this plugin to make things easier.

I got it and can’t wait to try it out on a landing page I’ve been avoiding worse than your making coffee. If it gets you to do something you’ve been dreading…it is worth it. Plus I already know it is awesome if you wrote it so it was a no brainer.

haha thanks Melinda! let me know when you have the landing page done and I’ll give it a tweet or two!

I try to upload Zip file to plugins in my WP site and does not seem to work?
asks me if I am SURE and then nothing?
Or do I just upload Plugin Zip and not the graphic files?
Chuck Bartok recently posted..Are You Scooping the News? Content Curation, the easy way
you just need to check the support page on the IM Graphics site, it explains exactly how to avoid that error message and even shows you a video on the proper way to install it. (it also mentions how on the download page right above the big download button too)
thanks for buying!
Andy Bailey recently posted..Global CommentLuv Search
This seems to work very nicely.
Hmm but took time in understanding how to install.

I’m quite new to WordPress self-hosted platform. Learning to shift from the WordPress.com site to a more professional hosted version. I think I’ve got a lot to learn from people like you and thank for coding the new plugin and also for the CommentLuv idea in general.

Internet Marketing Graphics Plugin looks cool! Wanna use this on my blog. Thanks Andy for the article!!
Max’s marketing graphics are really the bomb. Thanks for doing something that makes it easy to implement his eye-popping stuff.
I must say you are too good at promoting things. For a moment I thought, wow making a new plugin and the next moment there was this awesome plugin on sale. I will buy it this weekend!

You’re absolutely right. Doing something that has a challenge and thrill in it is quite fast and enjoyable. Doing something routine is very slow and quite boring. Programming something in PHP or any other language is a challenge which gives you satisfaction of achieving something meaningful, so it becomes quite fast and enjoyable, unlike writing a help file on it.

Hi, Andy! Your work is absolutely amazing. I can’t remember one of your plugins that disappointed its users. You understand us, our needs, probably because you always ask our feedback. Thanks!
Jack recently posted..What To Do Before The Work Begins On Your Home
Thank you. You’ve done it and saved us lots of wasted time and money. I’ve invested a lot of money in the past few years hiring designers to design those kinds of graphics for me and there have always been some disappointing times where things didn’t go the right way. Not anymore though! With your package things will be a lot easier.

Looks like a cool plugin. Just wondering if there’s a plugin for Google Blogger blog? Or shall I say gadget.

Andy!!!
LOL we all have our little areas that hold us back. That’s the hard thing about learning all this internet marketing stuff… no matter how good you are at somethings eventually you’ll have to engage a few areas that we don’t enjoy.
For me personally, I’m great at making content, creating courses, etc… its the “sales side” of building my brand up that I have a hard time in.
Maybe we should team up on something!
The plugin looks cool! I guess everybody is talented in diff areas-like although you find writing emails a pain, yet you can write cool plugin like this

Hey Angel,Sometimes it helps to see people actually use the plugins. I have about 30 videos on my site that cover the best wordpress plugins for 2012 – 2 of the videos are about commentluv. It is free on the right hand side of the below link. I really enjoy using commentluv personally. It is a win/win for everyone.
