FREE Wordpress Salesletter - Just a little Gift to all Warriors (and to only Warriors!)

[Wynter Jones]

Hey there, I been noticing a trend lately in the past few months
with Wordpress and the traditional Sales letter that is so popular
in the Internet Marketing world.

I play around with Wordpress and I've created a super simple
Wordpress Salesletter Theme with a simple admin options.

View Demo of Wordpress Theme Live

I am giving this away for free to all warriors and I am also
including special "warrior rights" to fully utilize this free offer.

There are two reasons why I am giving this neat little WP Theme
away. First, because the Warriors deserve some free content!

And secondly, because I want to let everyone see how to construct
a simple salesletter in wordpress. In fact it's much easier than creating
a wordpress Blog theme.

Using the wordpress WYSIWYG editor is much easier for writing
long sales copy in my opinion, and making any into a salesletter is a snap.

Here's a little help to get started with this free theme:

( Watch Quick One Minute Video Setup )

Step 1. Create a category called "salesletter" and then
add that category to a post that you want to appear as the sales copy.

Step 2. Go to "WP Theme Options" in the sidebar to change
the headline, sub-headline and add URL for Add to Cart Button.

If you have any questions please let me know and I can help you here.

Thank you for your generosity -you are one of the people who makes the Warrior Forum the great place that it is.

[Wynter Jones]

I'm happy that everyone is enjoying the free offer - WarriorForum has given me alot,
so I thought I'd give back.. but also more interested in knowing how people use the
simple coding of WP Theme to expand and create cool salesletters.

If you have any cool ideas or experiments to try I am open to that

Cheers!

Thanks a bunch, just what I have been needing.

So cool !

Thank you for your kindly offer !

[Fernando Veloso]

EDIT:

Houston, we don't have a problem.

Wynter, just figured out what was the problem. It was a issue with the functions file. Will PM you the fix right now.

But i guess this was just my problem, since no one came here after using the theme

I dont want to cause a false alarm here but before anybody use it I will report back on my finding. Although I wern't using the WP side much I used this domain for a lot of my data for download on one of my membership site so I have to get this restored fast.

I have used this quick fix:

- Open "functions" PHP file.
- Delete lines 111 and 112.
- Upload to theme folder in server.


Oh Assuming you have same error as i have: on line 113 of functions file.

Take a look at it.

Thanks I will have a look. Not sure if it is the same problem. When I saw the error I could not get back into wp-admin and then I did a stupid thing and deleted the theme via FTP and now it is all messed up. I will see if I can get in using ssh. I have a lot of files I store on this account so will have to move them first and delete the account and start again. Should have tried the theme on a empty test account first. Oh well as I don't have enough work already

[PLRwithAlex]

Awesome share. Thank you very much. I was recently looking for something like this.

Do this:

Change the php file as i told you
Upload the theme
Login

Here's my site using the theme, no problem now.

If you need the php file send me a PM with your email.

[rosan9]

I'm thinking about putting this on a sub-domain of my blog header site to avoid having to change my current theme or do I not understand your product?

Thanks for your generosity.

[timpears]

This comes just in time as I was about to make a referral site to promote a Clickbank product, and I am having so much trouble with the current WP site that I am having, I was going to just do an HTML site and give up all the benefits of the WP plugins and SEO. Now I will definitely give this a try and see if I can get it to work for me. Thank you so much.

[C.Prida]

The gift is appreciated and your attitude celebrated.

Thank you very much indeed.

[Wynter Jones]

EDIT: I have uploaded new WP Theme (with no errors!)

Thanks goes to Fernando for quickly finding out an error and fixing it
way before I had even got a chance to realize there was an error.

Most hosts do not like when there is a space at the end of the closing
php ?> tag and this is what was the causing the problem. I quickly
fixed the files - so you can redownload if you want.

Here's some quick helpful information on how this WP theme works..

First this theme is using Wordpress Options!

It's actually very easy to add an input field into the admin
theme settings and use that variable however you want
in the theme.

Look in your functions.php page and you'll see a bunch of fields
that look like this:

PHP Code:

<input type="text" value="<?php echo get_option('intro-title'); ?>" name="intro-title" />

You'll notice the value is <?php echo get_option('intro-title'); ?>
This is basically "echoing" or displaying the variable for "intro-title"

You can add your own options by just adding a new field:

PHP Code:

<?php echo get_option('NEWVARIABLE'); ?>

and changing the variable name. Make sure to add your new field name to the hidden field that says:

PHP Code:

<input type="hidden" value="bgcolor, intro-title, headline, subheadline, buynow, NEWVARIABLE" name="page_options"> 


Now that you have a new Wordpress Option field you can use
that piece of text however you want inside the actual theme itself.

For example, I used it to put in the URL for the payment link
and the URL is automatically posted as the link for the Buy Now graphic:

PHP Code:

<a href="<?php echo get_option('buynow'); ?>" class="buynow" ><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/buynow.jpg" /></a>

And one final little note, in the index.php file you will notice
that it is using WP Query Post function to grab the post that
is in the "salesletter" category and to only show one post:

PHP Code:

<?php query_posts('showposts=1&category_name=salesletter'); ?>

You can edit the way wordpress displays the content by adding
in different values here. Check out the WP Codex for more help here:
Template Tags/query posts WordPress Codex


Yup! May be a bit more technical than some of you care for,
but there are others who can use this information to start
fiddling around with Wordpress to create some cool things.

If you need any help or and to try something experiemental let me know!

Thanks and enjoy

P.S.

Any errors will be fixed right away - just come on back and let me know

[SolomonHuey]

Just wanted to jump in and say thanks as well!

[Wynter Jones]

Thanks everyone - the response to this gift was unexpected.
Makes me want to give more stuff away! I will certainly do that,
but make it something a bit more unique.

Anyways, I have added the PSD Source file so that anyone can
redesign, change, edit and have fun with the theme.

I don't know if it is just me, as I have had a lot of problems with WordPress. But I can't even get anything to show up in this theme. I have done test posts and view post and I see the blank theme. O well, I thought this was going to be the answer to my problem. I guess not. I am not sure that I like WordPress at all. I don't know why so many people rave about it. I am starting to think it is more trouble than it is worth.

If I have time tomorrow I will show you how, it is easy really

Sorry can't now as it's very late in UK.

[timpears]

Gosh, I should say it is late there. I am open to learning if you have time. I am just getting so frustrated with this WordPress thing though. I must be getting stupider with age. I used to flip six sites a week eight years ago on eBay, when you could still make a decent amount for doing it. Now I seem to struggle over the simplest of things. I got away from it for a long time, and things have changed a lot too.

[Fernando Veloso]

Tim,

Did you placed the post in "salesletter" category? Did you created that particular category?

Otherwise it won't work.

[timpears]

No I didn't. I am not even sure how to do that. My WP knowledge is limited to be generous. But I will go in the admin area and see what I can figure out.

[Wynter Jones]

Hey Tim,

I have created a quick minute video setting up the WP Theme:

Watch the Video Here

For some reason the sound didn't work - I was talking over the video.

(off topic; how do you embed youtube videos on here?)

[timpears]

Well I did that and it was pretty easy for my first time, I got to say. But I still get nothing but the blank theme. I only put three lines of test text in to see what would happen. Here is what I see.

[Wynter Jones]

That's interesting, Tim. When you save new values to the WP Theme Options
under the Appearance tab do they stay there after the page reloads?

You can also try to change the index.php page from:

(Under the Appearance Tab is a Editor link that allows you
to edit the wordpress theme files. Choose the index.php file to edit)

PHP Code:

<?php query_posts('showposts=1&category_name=salesletter'); ?> 
                <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
                <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>    
    <?php endwhile; ?>

to just this: (without the category name just show the newest post)

PHP Code:

<?php query_posts('showposts=1'); ?> 
                <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
                <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>    
    <?php endwhile; ?>

This should fix the problem. After this small hump, Wordpress becomes
alot easier to write sales copy with. You can use the text editor to
format text and even go full screen. I prefer writing with this instead
of inside a HTML text editor

[Fernando Veloso]

Tim,

Go left on WP Admin panel, hit WP theme options (this theme), insert some random words in ALL fields except the PayPal field and try again.

[greenovni]

You are the man! I've been using word press sales letter themes for a while at Explained Today and this new template will come in handy!

Thanks!
Greenovni

[timpears]

@Fernando, that shows up in the black area at the top.

@Wynter, editing the theme is way over my head and not something I am comfortable with. I understand simple HTML for the most part, but that is about the extent of my abilities.

I appreciate your help folks, but this is over my head. I think I will just go and use a plain HTML site and forget this WordPress thing.

[krcorser]

Thank you so much!!! As a newbie, I really appreciate your thoughtfulness. :-)

Kim

[TimTyus]

Thanks a lot my friend.I really like how that looks Thanks again

[Wynter Jones]

Thanks Kim and Tim! And Tim thanks for trying out the WP theme,
sometimes sticking with what you know is best and using plain HTML is easy too.

[Fernando Veloso]

I know Tim, but "maybe" the theme has a need of that copy to show up there - otherwise it may not show the post copy.

Just a idea.

[timpears]

@Fernando, I understand the reasoning for the text to show up there. That is like a headline in the top graphic. It is very logical to me why it does that. It was all a new experience for me, and way out of my area of knowledge. I was getting into areas that I was just not comfortable with. The PHP code these themes are done in looks like gibberish to me. I just don't understand it, I may have to try and learn it some day, but I am not ready to do it now.

[AllanWM]

Wynter, thanks and very appreciated. Have an awesome day.

-Allan

[MarkR]

Wynter,

Great job on this, looks awesome.

One question - does this have to be used as the theme for the whole Blog, or can this be used as one stand-alone sales page on a Blog where another theme is already in use on the rest of the pages?

Thanks.

Thanks Mark, happy you like it and GREAT question!

I have actually tried this out myself and the only way to make
this happen is by creating a Wordpress Plugin. I did some testing
(first time coding a plugin) but I did manage to get one single
post to show up as a salesletter.

However, it only seemed to work on a few themes as all themes
are coded differently so it needs much work. But since I am getting
a great response from this.

I will provide a free download for the test plugin and we can all
test it out together and try and make it super helpful. I do think
it would be good to turn only one blog post into a salesletter,
without compromising the entire blog.

I'll throw the plugin up on the WF soon
