We are in week 2 of the launch of JoomTorial.com and we are proud to announce that we are receiving very positive feedback on our Joomla Video Tutorial website and the video tutorials.

We have made more sales than we could have hoped for in this early stage and also people are reacting very positive on our time-limited free offer to receive a 100% discount on our Joomla Video Tutorials.

Among the comments we have received, numerous visitors wrote us that the website is very clear and easy to use. The order process is clear to follow and fast.

We received a comment from 1 visitor that stated the downloaded file is way too large for selling it this way. Although we have polled this a long time and have done numerous tests before launching.

We believe that offering the videos as a download has more benefits for the "buyer", since he or she "owns" the video tutorial and can watch the video at any place and time he or she chooses. Even if that is on the airplane or in the train. Next to that, we think you have all experienced at least once how online videos can stutter. Having the files downloaded on your PC or Mac makes the videos fast and snappy and avoids the stuttering effect many sites that offer online videos endure.

We have polled among visitors that have purchased and downloaded our video tutorials to let us know their download speeds and the time it took for the files to download. We received repsonses that varied between 4-10 minutes to download a 499 Mb file. Of-course this depends on the speed the purchaser has, but we know that our server can offer the speed that you can download with. We have changed hosting providers 3 times before we launched the JoomTorial.com website for exactly these reasons mentioned above.

Another visitor asked us if we offer more specialized videos for 3rd party extensions. Think of for example Joomla video tutorials for Community Builder, how to integrate a forum, build an online store with VirtueMart.

We are already working on 3rd party Joomla extension video tutorials as we speak. But it will take a little bit of time to have these in the store. We take our Joomla video tutorials serious and we don't want to rush and put poorly directed videos online. But be sure to keep an eye on our website for 3rd part extension Joomla video tutorials. They will be online soon. A little preview of what might be expected can be seen here: Preview of 3rd party extension Joomla Video Tutorial.

Next to that we have been asked if we might consider a member subscription of some kind. Which would mean visitors can subscribe for a certain period (i.e. month, 3 months, 6 months, a year) and have full access to all our video tutorials for the time they subscribed.

We are taking that into consideration and are looking at ways how to implement this feature in the future. For now we cannot give an ETA for this service.
