Need Help With Website

Hi,

Would some of you guys look at my website, Anger Control and tell me how I can improve it? I've received about 200+ visitors within two weeks, but no takers to the membership.

Please give me some suggestions and details of what I can do to compel people to join. Thanks.

    I think it is too plain could do with a banner , some images and a stronger call to action.

      I agree, nothing is going on, very plain...nothing grabs my attention..

      Also, there is no urgency..Why should they act now? Is the price going up? Is it limited to x amount of members? etc..

    Consider placing a lead generation page and place it
    on your main domain so that you can build a list of
    prospects first.

    Once they subscribe, you can then direct them to the
    sales page and follow-up with the people who subscribe
    but haven't yet bought.

    Keep in touch with your subscribers and continually
    refer them back to the sales page.

    It may take time to build trust to the point where people
    will buy from you.

    Also, are there other competing products out there?

    How are they selling similar products effectively?

    Dedicated to your success,

    Shaun

    You need pics of angry people clenching their teeth, or something to convey that this is about being angry and how to fix/cure yourself from it. It was too much white space for me with text text text and nothing to keep my eye focused on the reading.

    I'm also an extremely visual guy so in my perspective nothing can ever be TOO busy looking in the first place.

    Sales pages traditionally suffer from poor conversion because few people want to read the entire message. Instead of trying to sell a new visitor, offer them a free gift in exchange for opting into you email list. This will improve your sales considerably, and increase your one chance to sell them into many as you send them helpful emails with links to your products and services.

    Yep, a little bland.

    Try adding up to three bolded headlines at the top and maybe a video. Pictures would help, too.

      Michelle,

      pictures don't sell products, fancy web design doesn't sell products...

      building relationships with people sells products...if there is one response in this thread that you should pay close attention to is Shaun's...

      From where I'm sitting I'm betting a lot of your visitors are wondering who the "I" is in your text as in :
      "As I was growing up, there were always people and circumstances that provoked me to get angry and frustrated. Of course, I kept a lot of my anger buried deep down inside and tried to ignore it. But this only made things worse because eventually I would explode in anger when the smallest thing would rub me the wrong way. I was a ticking time bomb waiting to explode."

      make it a bit more personal so people can relate to you, get to know you, and finally trust you enough to give you their hard-earned money.

    I also found the page plain. The sales copy is a little long winded - I'd go with three bullet points at a time, not five or seven. My eyes kind of skidded over most of the text - you could cure that by simplifying and using bold and italic tags in key places. Images wouldn't hurt, maybe some stock shots of people blowing their tops, the more vivid and cartoony the better. The good news is, it's all fixable. Good luck.

    Besides it being plain and long you have no PR rank and you have only 1 or 2 backlinks and your alexa ranking pretty bad. Here is the report I pulled. We have a banner on our website called backlink checker, go to it and you can use a lot of free SEO tools to keep track of your progress. You need to create backlinks to get search engine traffic. Also it is so plain no one will read the whole thing. You need to try and spice it up and create splash pages to it. I would rewrite the content a few pages than all one page. Like have a home page describing who you are and then add a benefits page and product page. A few pages is always better than one long page. Add pictures too. Get rid of all of the white! If you need more help send me a private message I'll help you out.
