Need advice re: best way to make money with my site!
So I have a question...
I'm signed up with a network marketing company that's really taking off. I love what it has to offer, which is discounts/savings on all sorts of everyday expenses. I've saved like $200 in 3 weeks (largely that was because I got to use the free roadside assistance right away when my car overheated! That would have costed me $85 for the tow...)
Anyway, my current squeeze page is below in my signature, if you'd be so kind as to take a look.
I'm wondering if a softer approach would work better...?
What I have in mind is instead of trying to get people to sign up for a free ecourse, try to get them to agree to a free 15 minute consultation by phone, or even by IM or something?, where I would find out just how much their membership with this company really would save them based on their current spending habits. I'm thinking that if they see the value up front instead of just a bunch of somewhat vague ideas, they'll be more likely to become a member. And then even if they aren't interested in the network marketing part of it at that moment, it might be easier to "convert" them later, if they're happy with what they're getting, and once they see all the support I offer for marketing ideas.
So I'd ask questions like: on average, how much do you spend each month on groceries, how much on gas, how much on movies, how much on eating out, how much on insurance, etc. etc. And we add it all up and compare it to the cost of membership and see how it looks.
But at the same time I don't want to spend a lot of time on the phone going through all this stuff just to have them "think about it" and never take action. I don't want to be pushy, either.
Maybe I could offer that free 2 night hotel stay as incentive for them to make a decision within a certain amount of time?
At the same time, it'd probably be harder to get people to offer me a phone number for a consultation than it would be to get people to sign up for a free ecourse. Maybe I should leave things the way they are, and offer the consultation in one of my initial follow-up autoresponders?
But I guess my dilemma is what I want my landing page to do: sign people up for a free ecourse, or sign them up for a free consultation...? Or maybe something else entirely!
I don't know, are there any marketers out there that are more seasoned than me who would be willing to give me some feedback on this?? I'd be SOOO appreciative!!
Thanks!
