Cap360,

You have an autoplay video in your new homepage. I think that could be one of the main reasons why people are leaving the moment your homepage loads...

Seriously, what is this?



Did you ever think that would be the first thing you'd change?

It's boring, and weak. The grammar is shocking. The background is terrible. I wouldn't send anyone here - it'd be far too embarrassing.

I'm not a fan of the autoplay either. It makes me want to close instantly. Imagine if your subscribers weren't aware of the autoplay video, and they clicked onto your page, without headphones and their volume full bore. You've lost a subscriber.

Sorry for being harsh - but it has no appeal.

If you're really serious about this venture, you need to get a designer and a copywriter to re-do your sales page.

It's a combination of the following:

- Load Speed;
- Wording
- Design

On the old site, does closing the pop-up exclude a visit from becoming a bounce?

That would explain a lot as I promise you the old site was not worthy of a 6% bounce rate.

You have to be open to criticism Cap. There are a heap of really smart people in here making real money online, so you can't afford to get defensive.

You have received some practical constructive criticism. You don't have to agree with it all, but getting defensive will deter people from helping you.

Not a hater.

If you can't see why it looks bad, then nobody can help you.

The images are stretched. The colors aren't enticing. Fix those up, and then worry about the actual content.

Well, I've noticed you have made changes. And now it looks better.

I can't provide you with answers. I don't know anything about the niche/market, and I'm saying this from an affiliate/buyers perspective. I would suggest, personally, that you don't have green as both the background and content color. Or, even, don't use it at all.

Look through other sales pages that captivate your interest. There's still a stretched image on the left. The image on the sales page has a white, prominent background - make it transparent.

Honestly, it looks like a spam site.
The loading of the page is pretty slow, the images are not well organized.
It doesn't look good and doesn't give an impression that will make a user come back for more.

There appears to be alot going on here. Theres an auto load video, the sales page has various fonts and colors that cause the visitor to become overwhelmed with everything to look at.

One thing, I would like to write as,

86% Bounce rate can mean a lot things, first thing is,
a) Are you getting targeted traffic?
If yes, then are they exactly seen what you are showing in ads to them? Does it should be a concern to consumer perception?

As regards to One page, I will highlight below factors :
a) Do you have any Privacy Policy/About Us/Contact Us page? not only this will help you in gaining trust of search engines and traffic providers (paid ads), but it will also help in gaining the trust of a potential user, who is likely to convert, he will consider your website as a professional.

b) As an initial overview of your page, it looked crapped.

c) Following Changes, if applied, can help you in increasing sales
* Show some trust, add something like, as verified by (or as recommended) by Some Industry Professionals, write there name, this will give people the reason to buy your product.
* The paypal button at bottom, looks so unprofessional
* Highlight your refund policy in a professional way.
* Don't you have a logo?
* Website Structure needs to be revised, a professional attitude is to be shown, if we arent going to give a positive perception, most likely, people will not convert.


Please keep in mind, most people don't visit your website and going to make a purchase, you have to prepare there mind to make one. Good luck!

Have you checked to see if there is any demand for what you're offering?

You're trying to sell something that seems to be freely available online.

All the design changes in the world won't mean a thing if people don't want what you're selling.

Your passion is Soccer.

So why not write a good book on strategies of the game.

Coaching guides.

Analysis of why particular teams won specific matches.

Statistics about games.

Anything but MEMEs.

Never going to sell....don't believe me...why not try giving it away for free and see if anyone opts in.

At least then you could offer other soccer related stuff on the back end.

Personally I think you are wasting you time regardless of the design of the page...which is pretty bad.

Sorry but that's the truth.

I am surprised no on has mentioned this yet.... try INCREASING your price to $9.97 or something see what happens. since you are getting about 100 visitors a day, after 10 days try $1.00 if the increased price doesn't work.

Other than that? Seriously make your own damn meme's! and for the love of pete why not become a amazon affiliate and try and sell team jersey's!
