Chronicle of the Gatekeepers Sidetrek: What Comes Before the First now available!!!

Louis Porter Jr. Design, has released Chronicle of the Gatekeepers Sidetrek: What Comes Before the Firs for The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game at RPGNow.com and DriveThruRPG.com.  Here is information on this product:

On a strange world, the party is confronted with a conundrum: who exactly are they fighting? The insect-like vespans always refer to “the Gatekeepers,” but no record of them exists on Exodus, except perhaps their gateways.

The problem stems from Exodus’s remarkably short recorded history: only two thousand years ago, all of Exodus was enslaved by the First Ones, and only the godlike Kaga knows the truth of what Exodus was like during that time. Everyone else who lived then is dead—but that doesn’t mean they haven’t left behind clues.

This adventure is a sidequest in the Chronicle of the Gatekeepers Campaign Serial, and includes:

• Details on the First Ones, including some of their perceptions of life and what comes after
• Three new magic items: dark ink, the hand of the mistress, and the hand of the wife
  

Available at RPGNow.com here!!!

Trying something different with ads AKA Hello Canada!

I am trying something different. Over at our Facebook page I am attempting to promote our page to reach 500 likes. We are very close to hitting that number so I wanted to find ways help move us along to that, so I decided to promote my page on Facebook. Not really that big of a deal. I have done this before and it has worked out OK, BUT this time I did something VERY different for me. I only am promoting our LPJ Design Facebook page in Canada. That is right. I did say it. CANADA!!!!! Why? I feel there are a fair number of Pathfinder gamers in Canada who have not been “exposed” to the awesomeness of LPJ Design. So now I am attempting to see if we can give our brothers and sisters from the area of the maple leaf some LPJ Design love. If you are in Canada, play Pathfinder and have not liked us on Facebook, NOW IS THE TIME!!!! So while I am waiting to all you fans to like us, I hope you will be sending me a care package with All Dressed Potato chips and some Tim Horton’s coffee and donuts. O Canada! Talk to you later…

Transparent Agenda #006: Facebook is responsible for raising less than 2% of the money for this kickstarter

If you listen to Facebook they will tell you that they will help companies make money. Based on the stats I got from kickstarter, Facebook, to me, is a failure on that.  Personally, I have been suspect of the “great ads” on Facebook claims. But it is nice to have actual facts to back up what I thought.  We do a lot of posting on Facebook but it looks like there are better ways to reach people for kickstarter rather than Facebook. Very interesting when you look at the actual data of material and see what is really going on instead of guess blindly in the dark to boost up one’s ego.  Always checks the facts. It will be better for you in the long run.  Talk to you later…

Transparency Agenda #005: D20pfsrd.com advertising experiment keeps making me more money…

Since I have talk about this in two other Transparency Agenda (#003 & #004) I am just going to get down to the numbers and you can make your own  opinions on if it is worth it.  As of today, February 24, kickstarter has reported that the direct donations from D20pfsrd.com has generated $1,466 with those ads. The D20pfsrd.com ads cost me $250. 

Here comes the simple math: Here comes the simple math: 100% of the cost of the ads for February ($250) has been paid for, with an additional $1,216 generated from the ads. Simply put, in the ads generated $61.08 a day and if continues at this rate the ads will generate $1,710.33 for the month of February. Theoretically if this continues like this until the ends of the month, every dollar I spend on those ads made me $6.84. Notice this is a higher rate than what I said last time of $6.66 on February 17. While it is only 18 cent more I am OK with that because this is still over $4 more than the original post of $2.68. 

Let’s expanded this out to include the month of March for another $250 for a total of $500 spend on advertising and we don’t raise another cent.  Then we end up with $966 generated from the ads.  The combined months of February & March state the ads generated $25.27 per day. For every one dollar I spent on these ads, they made me $2.93. The numbers keep getting better and better.  Talk to you later…

D20pfsrd.com and Google analytics

Since advertising with D20pfsrd.com I have been looking deeper into Google Analytics to get the real store of the LPJ Design website specifically our NeoExodus page.  As I told you, we have had an impressive increase of traffic to our site in the multiple of 7 to 10 times what I normally get, better still over 80% of that traffic is NEW visitor from people who have never been to our site. Now that is where this gets me very interested. NEW people who have never seen my site is who want I want to come to my site.  Introducing more new people to NeoExodus only helps make it a bigger success. 

Also with that people who come to the site normally look at 3 pages on average, so not only are they coming but they are interested enough to look around to see what else we have. All this tells me is that D20pfsrd is the RIGHT place we need to be advertising on to get the message out to Pathfinder player and fans who might not heard about us. What I also find interesting that less than 10% of the traffic we are getting is mobile traffic.  That is something that we might be missing the boat on and might have to build an agenda on how to increase those numbers.  I guess I have time to do it.

With all this said I thing this advertising strategy is going to be very valuable when we start up out latest Temple of the Forbidden God Kickstarter for Free RPG Day 2013. If the traffic continues in this way I think this might be the biggest reason for the kickstarters success. Only time will tell but as I have said before I like what I see so far. Talk to you later…

D20pfsrd.com proves itself as adverting success story!

It looks like D20pfsrd.com advertising is a winner. We have had an increase of visitors to the LPJ Design website by over 900%.  I have to admit that shocked me in such a short amount of time, but looking at the numbers D20pfsrd.com release on their traffic it falls very much in line with theirs. As I said before, if these numbers continue then it looks like D20pfsrd.com may become a regular location for my advertising dollars. Only time will tell. Talk to you later…
