$10 Reward for Best WSO Thread Title

[AnneE]

Okay, most people are currently passing by WSO Thread Title which reads:

http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...uct-bonus.html

I'm doing okay in terms of conversion. The folks that are clicking on the thread are buying at an okay rate. But I can tell that I'm doing poorly in terms of the number of people viewing the offer, because other threads have View Counts that are rising more rapidly than mine.

So..... I'm offering a $10 reward (sorry, low budget at the moment) for the best suggestion for a WSO Thread Title. I'd also be interested in hearing any suggestions for my signature. Hmm... I wonder... is there a way to track whether people are going to the WSO thread from the title on the WSO page or from my signature. At any rate.... I need suggestions for getting that first click.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Anne!

Just a couple of quick ideas...

Try this:

I Pity The Fool Who Misses This Outrageous Offer!

That should get you far more clicks. But I think you also have major issues with your headline:

"It's Never Been Easier (or Cheaper) to
Discover Marketing Strategies that Can Make You Rich
From a Man Who Taught Now-Wealthy Marketers --
Announcing the Audiobook
Everything You Need to Know from Claude Hopkins' Scientific Advertising
Improved with New Examples of How Hopkins Created Marketing Miracles"

It's very cumbersome and doesn't give the reader much of a clue as to what you’re selling. I’d focus more on benefits and get it out there immediately. Try this:

I like the 'Skyrocketing Sales' and the alliteration. I had been trying to come up with something along those lines originally and didn't have one I liked at time to post.

I changed the title to Scientific Secrets to Skyrocketing Sales! Justin Michie Recommends

I was going to leave that alone for an hour or two, see if the view count rises any faster. Unless you think the very short

Scientific Secrets to Skyrocketing Sales!

would be more attention grabbing. Let me know

And Tina, your signature.. 'too busy for a signature' Wow, THAT'S BUSY. I'm honored you took time to help me out.

I'm going to try a couple of the suggestions out and see if one noticeably outperforms the others.

Keep 'em coming!

Anne I am still working on some but I would put Jay Abraham recommends instead of the other person who I don't even know (and I've spent thousands on different guru's stuff). He means a lot more to alot more people. Plus put the price for $3 it is cheaper than a large coke at the movies.

[AnneE]

I'm confused, the Jay Abraham reference:

I have heard that Jay Abraham has read Scientific Advertising about 50 to 60 times

is first.

I changed my headline on the actual page, as TravlingGuy had suggested it was too cumbersome and I think he might be right. So I went with a simpler version of it, going to leave that as the only change and head off to bed.

Scientific Secrets to Skyrocketing Sales! Justin Michie Recommends

Change to

Scientific Secrets to Skyrocketing Sales! Jay Abraham Recommends

[AnneE]

Ah... now I see what you mean. Okay, I changed the thread title to

Scientific Secrets to Skyrocketing Sales! Jay Abraham Recommends

I had decided that after a day hunched over the computer that I should put in a load of laundry and feed the dogs. But now I really should get some sleep.

Anne,

First off, I don't think you should worry too much about the number of people
viewing your offer because your product itself caters to limited audience
-- people who are interested in copywriting and/or selling products.

On the contrary, if you were selling a "make money from this or that" product,
then you could have got a lot more views.

Secondly, many WSO's on there have been bumped multiple times, and that's
another reason for them having a high viewcount.

So IMHO, as long as you conversion rate is good, you don't have to worry
too much about it.


Just my 2 cents,

Dean.

But isn't everyone on Warrior's Forum interested in selling products?

[AnneE]

Wow... I suddenly connected a couple of the ideas tossed out here.

First that people might think my WSO was only for copywriters or folks with their own products to promote. I don't think that's so.

I was being honest when I wrote:

At the heart of marketing is the ability to attract customers, to persuade them to take action. When you write a blog post, a resource box, a sales page, you need to get people's attention. You need to get people excited about your product - so excited they take action and you earn money!

Marketing is important in everything we do online.

And I remembered that someone above had used a headline that mentionned CONVERSION RATES... and that is really what selling and Claude Hopkins Scientific Advertising concepts are all about, how to convert better.

So, my thread headline and signature now make what I hope is an irresistible offer and what I believe my WSO will deliver on...

"If You Could Dramatically Boost Your Conversion Rate on Every Offer You Ever Make, for $5, Would You?"

Any thoughts?

[AnneE]

I believe Tina's suggestion of Skyrocketing Sales in the title did the best. I say I believe because with a WSO it's impossible to control all the variables, such as where on that first page you are, etc.

So Tina, I'll send you a PM about $10.

Meanwhile, I'm trying out a bit of slightly off-color humor now... see signature. Hey, I figured Tiffany Dow is talking about being naked in her WSO titles.

[AnneE]

I did Tina. I offered a $10 reward and while it's small, I want people to know that if I say I am going to do something I will. So I gave the $10 as you requested. Best of luck with the fund raising efforts.
