COPY WRITING

Hey! I know two may not sound like a lot but for me its an awesome start!

I made 100$ yesturday from two sales. Unfourtunetly I have NO idea where they came from. I believe it was from simple ads I had running on adwords. My google analytics wasnt installed right (now it is).

I changed the copy yet again and focused on what makes mine different, spiced up the guarentee and followed all the other advice I have gotten. For some reason I have no clue how to change font/indent the paragraphs (its a wordpress page template).

THANK YOU GUYS! I owe it to you guys so far that I have gotten this far.

Do you guys think it is any better? Am I going the right direction?

Also, what on earth do I do for traffic? The adwords I stopped because it was extremely expensive. Thanks!

Devin

Without knowing what you were bidding, how many impressions you had, your click through rate, two sales is two sales.

Start your testing engines, get analytics and optimizer primed and ready, you're off to a good start..

One thing you could do, since your selling a $47 dollar product, lower the price, test the demand, then if the demand is high add more value to your product and start charging more.

$47 seems like a lot of money to me, you don't really have a USP and the copy was a bit bland.

To you success,

  Chris = Theres this awesome concept called "rounding"!
  
  Ross= I had a total of 78 visits in the last week, but what I meant was I did not know where exactly they came from, as in, the ones who bought. I had the analyitics hooked up on the page template rather than the theme, so it caught all the visits to the page, just not everything about it.
  
  Yesturday was the two sales. Still have a crapton of work to do on the copy, just need to figure out what.
  
  Thanks

I realized my adwords brought in about 40 visits, but not the ones who bought it (the account was paused 3 days ago), I was using things like projectwonderland about 5 cents a day brought in like 30 visits, the rest was just from google.

Nice,

If it's a wordpress blog, use yoasts google analytics plugin. There is not better one that i've found, don't use the one built into the theme.

That's what I do anyways.

Congratulations! And if I may add my two cents. I don't know if it is because I am viewing your site from an iPhone or not but the background image behind your testimonials does not fit perfectly. It looks crooked and for me this would be a deal breaker, I would not buy.

Just some friendly input hope it helps

  Thanks Jordan! I didn't notice that, Trying to get it better now. Was it the text that looked crooked?
  
  Any ideas for making the text better? Or getting more traffic? Thanks!
