    Looks very professional. Who are you marketing this to? Ever try to syndicate it? what about people who may have a problem with their eyes and can't read it. I'd put in a video explaining the system. Might help. I think its too wordy for me but thats just my opinion. I have lots of videos and advice I give my audience when trying to "sell" a product. remember no one whats to be sold something. They want to buy. I do like the third party referral section. That's helpful. But I would do a short 3 minute presentation to prove your system works = more interest.

    Next section how are you planning on putting eyeballs on to this? I may have a system that can help you if you're interested in syndicating it. Let me know by emailing me at bob@chnevin.com.

    Hope that helps some.

    -Bob

    Narrow the page and use shorter lines. That'll move their eyes downward faster. Reading those long lines left to right is too much work.

    I couldn't make it through the headline...

    ...or the blur of massive text blocks in tiny type filling a huge, wide layout.

    Know what?

    I don't like criticizing without offering a resolution - let' improve the readability of the layout because without that, it doesn't matter what the copy's like. It ain't gettin' read.

    Try changing the body copy typeface in OP to Georgia or Verdana - 14 or 15 pt.

    Make your Subheads Tahoma Bold 24 pt

    Switch to Thin Sales Style 2 page style in OP (much thinner layout)

    T-shirts are a lot more expensive than $6.98. I'm lucky if I can find one for $15, but more than likely I'm looking at $20 and more. But more importantly, why is that your example?

    Who is your target market? Does your target market love fashion and constantly buy new clothes?

    Your target market is people looking to make money online. How much further have you segmented? If it's a general market like that, you'll want to put something generic as your "For the price of..." like a cup of coffee, because your target market can relate to that.

    I love to buy T-shirts, but I still can't relate to your example because that's less than half of what I pay for a T-shirt. When I'm paying less than half of normal price, I get suspicious and start thinking it must be low quality. And if you're comparing the price of your product to something that is probably of low quality, I start thinking maybe your product is low quality, too. And I haven't even tried it yet.

    I do recommend having a number of pages for the same product with a DIFFERENT sales pitch for marketers looking for traffic through: social media, search engines, direct linking, and every other type of traffic your course helps with. Then tailor that for people who are doing it for a blog or for their ecommerce site or... whatever.

    This is called market segmentation. It will make or break your conversion rates.

    Oh and there are tons of typos "How does former poor telephone technician mange to drive 16,606 high quality visits a day to his website?" and missing punctuation "My name is Ohad LeviPERIOD I’m 28 and I’m a former telephone technician." I'd recommend hiring a proofreader to go over your website. Even if you're an English genius it's always a good idea to have your proofreader be a second set of eyes.

    I always use one before I send out my work, even though I've tweaked everything I've written a million times already.

    Good luck!

    @DaniWright so you're saying a cup of coffee is a better idea? Makes sense to me !

    Don't you think that 6.88 is a bot on the high side for a cup of coffee? It's more $3 or $4 from where I come from. What do you think ? Do you have a better option ? I'm brain something here but can't find something !

    Get to the point faster. You're repeating yourself several times in the copy. "Like I said, my name is Ohad". Don't use lines like "Like I said". And use more subheads.

    Personally I still go old school with Dreamweaver, but in Optimize Press Brian said to change fonts which you do by highlighting the text and changing your fonts. Same way you do it when you post text like this (Tahoma). The style is a setting in Optimise press you'll have to find. Look on youtube.

    Add some more photos ? Or put important phrase in table or square

  • Perhaps you could put up a video and that way you could remove some of the text.

      Just the things I noticed in the headline:

      1. The pre-headine says nearly the same thing as the headline and so is repetitive and makes the headline boring.

      2. The headline says the word "site" twice too close together and so it cuts into it's readability. Remove the second usage of the word site.

      3. Your pre head and headline don't offer me enough big promise benefit to make me want to read your copy.

      4. You need a hook. You've got no hook that starts to draw me in.

      I didn't get any farther than that because as a customer that's as far as I would have gone if that.

      Thais is not being critical, you asked for help.

          When I First Stumbled Upon This I Couldn't Stop Thinking About It I Literally Couldn't Sleep For Days....



          Sure you could do anything you want, this is just an idea.



          Then to tell the truth your headline just needs a re-write. It's not powerful enough, not directed at me (it's directed more at you and I don't care about you, I want to know what's in it for me (if I'm the customer). Then the big promise doesn't make me go wow, I can't live without that.


          3 and 4 combined.
          Well, starting off with who you are right off the bat won't work because I don't care yet.

          Here's an example of a sales letter I just wrote for a client. It's on a test page so if it's taken down there's nothing I can do about it.
          Please understand- my graphics guy is doing edits. The red letters end on the wrong emphasis words and the button will say add to cart not buy now etc...

          But the copy is mine and it's a good example of what I mean: Swing Man Golf

          Do you see how there is a bunch of build up before I introduce him? They should be excited to meet him.

          Do you see how I have 2 hooks one before the testimonies and one before introducing him? Those are hooks!
          That's the type of stuff I mean to draw you in and make you read on and get you going down the page.


          I hope this helps, Patrick

            I viewed this page today on an ipad and found that althought the text was easily readable in landscape mode, when I turned to portrait mode the last letter on the right side was either very close to the edge of the screen or off it altogether.

            I would love to help with a solution for this but dont have enough coding knowledge to help out, sorry.

    In general I like it, but I simply had to skip that massive wall of text where you told your story. Sorry.

    What I would do is to shorten the text radically and make the text area narrower. You already emphasize the important words using bold or capitals, but how about text with italics or different colors?

    Whatever you do, please avoid walls of text... Hope I'm not too strict here.

    So the product is interesting, but you should also make the text juicy and appealing! It deserves that

        !שלום So I would emphasize the parts of text where you really want people to pay attention.

        With italics I would emphasize quotes or emotive phrases, like "I was thrilled!" or "You're probably asking how successful?" "my dream, which was financial freedom"

        Colors also for emphasizing, like "A system that would enable me to generate endless amounts of high quality traffic for FREE!"

        "All I needed to do was to work an average of an hour a day!"

        Just don't overdo it. That's why I would use different eye cues for people.
        So my basic advice would be: shorten the text in general, make shorter paragraphs, add eye cues (color, bold, italics, capitals) very sparingly, don't overdo it, it easily becomes messy and difficult to read.

        You can also add photos and graphics. Those look appealing, they emphasize your message and give some rest for the eye. Too much text turns visitors off and you don't get your message through.

        Hope this helps!

    Still have not much change since the last time I visited. The comment part should add to the left of your site mate. I think you will have more space for commenters then.

    Hi,

    In my opinion your text blocks are too large. I would only be willing to read large text blocks if I was grabbed by the headline and first paragraph. Unfortunately I wasn't.

    So I decided to scroll down, searching the subheadings for the parts that might interest me.

    'I Went From Being a Complete Passive Failure To a Successful Action Taker!'

    'Let Me Address Some Of The “Fears” (Or Excuses) That I’ve Had:'

    I'm here because I want to boost traffic, yet I feel like I'm reading the copy of a different product altogether.

    I think your biggest problem lies in your target market. Who are you writing to?

    1. People that want to escape the rate and begin their internet marketing career with a god start?

    OR

    2. The internet marketer that hasn't had so much success yet and is looking for a solution.

    Chris

      Personally I think now you have gone too narrow with the copy.

      - Try making the text about 650 to 750 pixel wide.

      - break up the long paragraphs and just have 3 sentences in each.

      - Your 'personal' story goes on for too long. I'd definitely try and make it more concise.
