Urgent Question

by AHartzell
7 replies
Hey guys,

I have launched a new product. After 16-18 hours, I have 25 affiliates and about 130 hops.

As of now, my hoplink goes to an email opt-in page where people opt-in to get a free eBook and are then redirected to main pitch page.

However, after 130 hops, I have one opt-in, and 0 sales form impressions (and obviously 0 sales).

Question: Should I removed the opt-in page? I know it's supposed to be a way to sort of "keep potential buyers on the hook", but I feel like I'm getting a lot of bounces because people don't want to opt-in and potentially losing sales.

Thoughts?

    Is it the site in your sig?

    IF yes, how you expect people to give out their email to read ONE article? Where is the credibility? Why in the world people should trust you?

      Any ideas besides the "no spam promise"?

      Your problem IS NOT a no spam promise.

      Your problem is your sales funnel: no credibility to start off.

          Split test.
          Try getting rid of the optin page and going straight to the sales page.
          Then when someone buys give them a "free bonus" that they have to optin to get.
          I know that you will lose all those that don't buy but as I said Split test.

            Know how to do that? I'm using ClickBank...I looked briefly on their website, but didn't see any suggestions on how to get it set up.

    People are guarding their emails more than ever, and know that signing up for something nowadays will let to an influx of emails from a person or website.

    You really have to give them something of true value and prove that you are worth their time. Promising one article from someone they have potentially never heard of just isnt enough.

    Personally, I would say wait a bit longer and be patient so that you have more numbers to analyze....but if you are going to have an opt-in page..its GOTTA be something good, and pull them in a lot more.

    What makes your three secrets different than everything else they can read online without opting in?

    Answer that question for them before they have the time to even ask it.
