Help Me Figure Out Why I Am Not Getting Sales?

Just a guess but maybe most people (like me) have no use for creating covers, so out of 70 views only 2 or 3 people had any serious interest and they did not buy for other reasons.

In addition, I haven't looked but there are probably lower priced alternatives out there.

I asked you in your thread if you wrote these scripts. Part of the reason is everyone including Thomas has scripts for photoshop and they are cheaper then yours. If these are unique and written by you then that needs to be emphasized Include some hot to videos on making stunning graphics with them etc .

big bold dark font is a turn off.. anyone agree with me on this one?

Thanks I will work on that, I do include a ebook with instructions and tips on desiging a eCover, eBook, eZine, ect.....

Thank you for you reply......

Hi EWGQDD, my initial impression was that the presentation is weak, if I was in the market for a graphics package I want to feel some excitement when I find the right product (as with any purchase). As others have commented it would be good to see a video of the top features of the package and get a bit of excitement generated.

Best wishes

Hey mate,

I think you've probably got two problems. The first is that your average marketer who really isn't graphic design savvy may not appreciate what actions scrips are, and see this as just another cover creator. If they want your standard point and click options, there are cheaper available, and they might not understand the versatility your package provides. I lurve actions scripts, so I was actually interested in what you had on offer, but I dare say I'm in the minority.

For those who do understand, or are prepared to learn, I think you're product looks pretty good and if you created them from scratch you've reason to be proud of them. But tell people this! They are unique, people can't get them anywhere else, these aren't just recycled scripts. I'd like to see more examples on your sales page, the style looks slick enough but there's a lot of black, which doesn't really compliment the detail of your scripts. If you're good enough to create your own scripts, you can no doubt put together some thumping examples. Prospects see that and it presses the 'I want that NOW' button in them, which helps to get them to press the purchase link.

Bottom line, people want eye popping. The script package I wound up getting (can't even remember the name, I'll post it when I get home) had close ups of the detail you could achieve with the scripts. That and the variety (dozens of scripts for paperback, hardback, box, software box, cd's, pouches, caps, I mean this thing had it all) made it worthwhile even though its price tag was about double yours.

Some people might not dig the bonus items either. I may be wrong but I think there's a general perception among IM'ers who are savvy with the whole bonus thing that most of the time the bonus items are garbage. However, I'd actually really like to get some of your bonuses, so maybe go into more detail about them too.

Good luck dude.

I do graphic design and your sales letter looks like something I have already seen before. There are already action scripts out there for less and then you tell me if I want to know more, go here?

That is a pet peeve of mine personally, it's kind of like purchasing a WSO to learn something new and they send you all over the net to figure out other stuff first - lol!

Why would I buy your script over a cheaper version? What is so unique about yours that I would be willing to depart with my money to get yours? How is it going to help me design better? Faster? or am I going to have to spend time learning yet another program? What is the learning curve on this one? How much time do I have to spend on it before I can produce with it?

You skim over your main product and go right onto the bonuses. Are your bonuses better than your main product?

Maybe those are some questions you could answer in your 'sales letter' which might help us buyers make a purchase.

Hope this helps!

i agree with david that weboptimizer is a great tool for split testing

Great Steve (that's my husband's name BTW

Here is a sample of what I was talking about...seeing yours made me think of this, just need to find a way to do yours with your own unique spin on it so us designers don't think of products like these that are already done...

Cover Action Pro - Ebook Cover Software

Best of Luck and keep it going...

Hey,

I'm a graphic designer, and your product looks mighty nice, but im my opion it is over priced, see if you offered this for the price of 17$ or 27$, you would have me itching on buying it, because its something i could make use of now and then but not all the time.

Selling it for a lower price also enables you to get more sales im my opinion, plus you could of instead offered your bonuses as a one time offer after the actions have been purchased to make up your money.

Again nice collection, but considering you can get psds of these from deviant art and just skew and transform images into postion, or download a ton of free sets of the net.

Hope you dont take my post the wrong way i wasnt posting it to be akward i was just giving you an insight into how i looked at it from a designers point of view.


Happy New Year

I think Aaarrrggghhh was trying to say that it seems you skim over the main product and jump to a oh, you get these awesome things too kinda thing.

Perhaps also that your sales letter looks like an IM sales letter, not that you didn't have an original product or web copy.

It doesn't *POP*. No offense, but you're selling graphics. You gotta shake me up man! Being a photoshop dude, I get it - I understand the benefit of scripts and how easy yours may be.

That said, don't give me technical - give me a:

1 - Use these samples to begin your killer ecover creation!
2 - Simply click a button to fire these awesome scripts
3 - Whammo! You've got an amazing ecover (whatever) in seconds!

(no that's not copyrighted)

Just show me how easy it is - if I'm a photoshop newb, I'm looking for one-click ease so I don't HAVE to understand how to turn something flat into something with perspective or how to do a reflection and fade it properly.

Regarding page flow, there's a link to samples that jumps down the page - put some of them RIGHT there and lead me into the purchase, drooling at how cool these graphics are! Then close it with some kinda bonus if they are really good as you say.

Your simple instructions don't look simple to the layperson... How about a short video, showcasing your expertise and friendliness (since you say your help desk is responsive).

Have a layout that looks good, fire your script and presto! you have shown the user how *easy* it is to use - only has to be a vid less than 30 seconds, probably 15-20.

Hope it helps, all success.

A) I got bored with-in 10 seconds of reading it
B) They look like crappy PLR products
C) Short Sales Letter that doesn't really tell me any benefits
D) You just told everyone you have no sales, no sales instantly tells me I dont want to buy it either, you shot yourself in the foot.

Good luck man.

I just want to add that perhaps some testimonials on the landing page would be very useful as well.

As I was skimming through it caught myself thinking:
- "what do other people think about it?"

then I figured that I would rather wait for somebody else to try it out first.
