This video continued the first part ( tutorial 5 ).
At the moment, One time offer ( OTO ) can be used only when new user clicks on email activation link.
This doesn’t make sense to me. Especially, with the 2 steps activation required by cmsi which caused a lot of confusion
unlike Aweber where user just does ONE CLICK and done; while with cmsi, he FIRST has to click on the activation email,
SECOND, he MUST go through the OTO page and either COMPLETE the OTO transaction or CLICK ON ” No thanks” button to get his account activated.
The problem is, if he just click on the OTO payment and CHANGE HIS MIND not to go through with the transaction, he can’t go back to the previous page because the page has expired. Most people just CLOSED this window and GONE. And DIDN”T KNOW that their accounts were not yet ACTIVATED by the system.
So when they tried to log into their accounts, the error is “INVALID username/password”.
“Funny” thing is that the password reminder sends them the ” CORRECT LOGIN” but it doesn’t tell them that their ACCOUNT is stilll UNACTIVE.
So the poor guy keeps trying and trying to login until he finally gets so fed off.
Results?
If you are lucky: you would have recieved fustrated emails asking for help.
If you are not so lucky: actually you may never know this as your visitors just left after swearing not to visit your site again 
OTO is pretty much useless since it can not be used on any other pages, or anytime when you want it.
SOLUTION?
As suggested by MME’s support, if we want the OTO to be used anywhere, before login, after login …. we need to submit this request using “suggestion/ideas” form. So the more people asked, the better chance for it to be implemented.
