Critique My Sales Page Please

28 replies
My site is online but not live yet, meaning you cannot purchase the product yet.

I would like to hear some suggestions for improving my sales page. It is not all the way finished yet, but suggestions might help me get it up and running sooner, thanks ahead of time!

    I assume you are referring to "easy action scripts" underlined in your sig?

    If so, I know you are aware that this page takes awhile to load, I am on DSL and this is really frustrating waiting for it - It won't allow me to scroll down the page quickly. If I was a customer I would have left by now.

    Nice page design

    Nice use of product images

    I assume you will be adding the price to this

    You should include a guarantee

    Your sales copy is not really catchy, nothing grabs my attention and makes me focus on reading your pitch. If you want I can work with you some on the copywriting, no charge or any thing just here to help - send me a PM.

      Oh I forgot to add, I am new to the forums so it won't let me reply to messages! If you can send me your e-mail address that would help out.

    Best of luck in your venture. Here's a few quick, but very important tips!

    -You absolutely MUST resize all the images from halfway down the page on locally and re-upload. For example image 3SIDEDBOX1.jpg is display as 227px Ã-- 263px, but it's actually 2953px Ã-- 3425px!! 520kb when it should be less than 20kb!! Not only do each of these images cause the page to load slowly, but it consumes a lot of resources and makes it difficult to scroll on the page.

    -Use CSS to change the font to something more visually pleasing and professional such as verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif

        Much better after the resize! Quick loading and images still look great. I emailed you my suggestions.

          Thanks for the help, I will incorporate your suggestions, I might tweak a few things but for the most part I like all your suggestions. For some reason I cant stand a thin font like Arial for the main header text, so I might change the header to impact, I will see how it works.

          Again thanks for all your help!

            I had no problems with load times. I might suggest breaking up that big chunk of text in the middle. Add a few more headings and bolded text, etc.

            I say this not from an expert copywriter's perspective, but from a customer who doesn't feel like reading a whole big block of text's perspective.

            Otherwise, I like it.

    MAKE YOUR BACKGROUND ALL BLACK

    In my opinion, the white strips on each side is bad.

        Yea, I also see the white strips on the left and right sides. At first I thought it was because I am viewing your website 1280X1024 but changed it to 800X600 and still see it on firefox, explorer, and chrome. Do not know what is causing this.

          so now many pixels of white are you seeing?

          I have IE7 and cant see anything abnormal at all. My whole screen is covered with the web page.

          I will have to look at in in another browser to double check. Myself later on... thanks guys......

    I assume this is a package of cover actions that you have purchase rights to, I would suggest changing up the graphics to something that will work better than the light effect you have now, its far more distracting than conversion boosting.

    Realise the above isnt what you want to hear but in my opionion its badly needed.

      LOL! Nice, your definately right.

      I dont want to change the graphics images.

      They are by far WAY better designs than any action script packages I have seen online and I have looked at them all.

      If someone wants to see the image quality better, all they need to do is click on the actual image and they will have more image quality than they can handle. Especially if they click the zoom level up to about 200%-400%.

      Most people do not spend near the amount of time to make their graphics look great, they just upload some crappy simple design to save them the heartache and time.

      I spent lots of time doing mine so that the designs would show how great of a product image you could produce with these action scripts.

      I really appreciate your suggestion though, honestly.

        oh...I do think it looks GREAT....it'll be interesting if, once you launch, if you could keep us updated on 'generally' how well the button is converting.....

        I know it flows with the 'feel' and 'look' of the page...but, the proof is in the conversions. If I giant RED circle would convert better, rest assured, I would use that instead....lol....

          I will let you know how it goes........with the button, if I had to make a giant purple squiggly line to get conversions then I would do just that. But if I have to change the graphics ecovers that I have spent much time and effort on that would take me a long while........

            lol....

            ....oh, and it definitely looks like ALOT of work went into everything....if you find that that button doesn't convert well, or could convert better, honestly, I would just give another button a try, even if it means that it'll look totally "different" than the rest of the pages graphics....

            Buyers do weird things some times....lol.....consider all the marketing techniques applied to intentionally make a product 'stand out'....now, I know it's morseo a button that would stand out rather than a product, but, the very fact that it's orange/red/etc could actually lead to more conversions...

            It will be interesting to see what happens....

            I do know that using the wording "Add to Cart" is genuinly seen as 'less' threatening....less about money or "the sale", and people are more inclined to purchase....the goal is to make people feel at ease about purchasing, or not even think about purchasing, until they actually purchase...lol....

                Hi,

                did you write these actions or are they the ones found everywhere lately?

                I am just curious because if these are original Great job I wish you all the best with the sales.. if they are not I don't think your price will convert as they are available everywhere now for a few dollars.

                I looked at your page it looks good I am not a black kind of guy but I love the way the graphics pop out at you the button looks kind of weird but I like the graphic on top of it.That gives me a great idea for my own so i appreciate that.

                Overall I think it is well done but heck I am no copywriter. I am still fiddling around with mine.

                Much success to you

    None of the sample images are showing up in Chrome on a Mac. I don't see anything in the code that would necessarily prevent them from working, but they're not. Possibly the relative sizing of each? Fine in FF on Mac.

    Given all the space those chew up it might be nicer to use a carousel component to let people browse through them. Or, perhaps even make them smaller? They still felt too big on my screen.

    You must have made a lot of changes from the first version.

    I thought it looked good.

    Only thing that threw me off was the headline with the word ebooks by itself. Looks ackward.

    Other than that good job.

    My best to you.

      Thanks for the input, I changed the headline to reflect your suggestion! If you see anything else that you think I can improve please suggest away and I will consider, I am in the mood to work!

    I think I found the issue with my page not showing up on the other browsers. I have also changed quite a few other things.

    What do you all think about it now? www.easycoveractionscripts.com

    Check out the the support desk I customized, please add any of your suggestions or ideas. (Its on the bottom of the page under support or its in the bullet points)

    Do you think I should offer the ability to buy an actual physical DVD with all the products files on it ALSO?

    I may add a video to this page soon, but it will most likely be a YouTube Video. I do not have Camstasia.

    I am about 99% finished with the short eBook that comes with the package.

    So give me some more input guys. This is the most time I have spent putting something together, so I am open for all the help I can get.

    I was going to offer this on click bank, but I honestly think I will hold off on that for now. 2 Months is a long time to wait for a paycheck. Any ideas on where to luanch this other than a WSO?

    Do you think it will do well on the classified ads section of this forum? Any other ideas are greatly appreciated.

    I would love to send it out to a huge list but I have no list at all!
