Sales Funnels are tough!!!!

What traffic do you use? This is the key element of conversion. Imagine if your traffic is not interested in your topic. Or they are freebie seekers. The more targeted the traffic is, the more sales you will have.

EDIT: I just wanted to share an example with you:

Sales funnel (previously used and tested with different sources)
1. Warrior Forum Traffic - $0.92 earnings per subscriber for the first month without email campaign
2. Facebook Ads traffic - $0.30 earnings per subscriber
3. Adf.ly - $0.00 earnings per subscriber

The same offer, but different traffic sources!

Alex

From forum traffic to my offers, i have averaged $1.1 per subscriber without email marketing. Once this is successfully monetised the earnings significantly increase.

The goal of your sales funnel is not neccessarily to make you rich, but to help you recoup money spent on solo ads, free WSOs or other traffic generating methods.

Hey Wes,

I landed on your page, but didn't feel compelled to put my email down. I'd need more context. Who's this expert trainer? What authority do they have? Who's used this stuff before? Does it work? You have to give me something before I give you my details, otherwise it's not worth my effort.

Remember, you're competing against lots of free advice that's easily available! What makes yours any better? It's the rough equivalent of walking up to someone and saying "I'll show you a great time. Give me your number." You need to work a little harder to convince them to trust you.

Cheers

Why are you putting an image of a beach if you're talking about weight loss? dont you see the incongruity there?

I would take a look at your sales presentation copy and find out why it's not converting.

Being a bit finicky - I'd change the wording on the Sign Up Form thus: -

Instead of saying ----- "without sweating!"

I'd say ---------- "No Sweat!" (Makes it a bit edgier, I think!)

As you say you are getting some Opt Ins so take a look at your Thank You Page and the Product you are promoting - perhaps the Sales Page is not too good!

Don't know how you're marketing this but the obvious places are Slimming, Dieting, and all Forms of Keep Fit Forums etc. as well as Blog commenting - Sorry if I'm preaching to the converted!

Yes... change the background image to some body sculpture models...

Focus on the sales copy for the product you are promoting and finding out if it converts or not.

Then focus on testing and tweaking and keeping what is working and discarding what is not working.

Only to posts and in both posts you drop an affiliate link, I suggest you read the forum rules.

How many optins have you gotten to test your conversion rates for sales? You would want at least 100 optins before you can judge as to whether your sales conversions is good.

Also, if you're doing email marketing don't expect to make a quick buck in the short run. Email marketing is a long-term sustainable business. If you make some money with OTO's, great. That's a bonus.

Comments on your squeeze page.

1. Remove the name field to increase optins %
2. Push the envelope a little with your headlines by making a more compelling title. Also there are no bolds, highlights, or different font colours on your title. Might want to change that.
3. You're doing an optin without a free offer. That will reduce your options by a whole lot.
4. Do a clean background.

Comments on the salespage.

I've no idea what the conversions or EPC's are on your sales page. But I think i've seen better weight loss products on Clickbank.

Just search Custom Fat Loss or Fat Loss Factor.

Also are you planning to do email marketing to these people? Don't build a list for the sake of building one if you're not. You could just direct link your traffic to your offer.

All the best!

The squeeze page is not attracting my eye at all.
Your SQ design is not related to weight loss, try to work on it.

I think customers are onto sales funnels now and don't fall for them so quickly. Once a good thing gets out and everyone starts using it and it's everywhere, then the novelty is gone.

Thanks for the love guys! Glad you're enjoying the podcasts.

Great advice here, btw.

Wes, I'd do some work on the sales copy. Both on the actual sales page but especially on the thank you page. Focus on benefits for the reader. The TY page is a little long and need a better visual appeal

Ya your headline and sub-headline seem too bulky to me. Cut down the words, offer one big benefit that encompasses everything you have on there now, and then test that squeeze page out. Getting more leads is just one way of increasing profit though. Since you're having trouble monetizing your leads you should look at your traffic sources and the experience a subscriber goes through after they opt-in
