Please, critique my sales page on Product Creation

10 replies
Hi,

I'd love if you could give me your comments and ideas about my sales page.

This is one of variations of my sales page for an OTO (after a person subscribes to my product creation list).

Thanks
Alex

  • I looked it over and I think there's a few things I would change. I think I would have a different headline besides making information products, more of an urgent headline. Include why they should sign-up and when. What will it do for them in a fast time period?

    I would take out the part highlighted in pink about there being at least one copy left.

    I think you could make some of the bold sub-headlines be more beneficial to the reader, less about the story. Make sure they follow each other and move the prospect to the action you want them to take.

    Also make sure you have a strong Call to Action.

    Hope that helps.

    good points, mdurhamemailcopywriter
    Thanks!

    What exactly do you mean my "strong" in "strong call to action"?

    The headline isn't very compelling. I didn't go past that. Maybe if you had a grabber up top I would have wanted to read more. Good luck.

    I think by "strong" he might mean: Why would someone want to create their own information products?

    Try to tie more of a benefit into the headline. No one ever says "Dang it! I need an information product."

    They say, "I want to make a fat stack of cash so I can pay off my debt, stop living in my mom's basement, and become a **bleeping** millionaire."

    Hope this helps.

      The part about the naked butt is very funny.

      Overall, the headline and opening copy is awkward. It's
      obvious English isn't your first language.

      I don't agree with the tactic of making your story
      of overcoming adversity the lynchpin of your
      introduction. I never do, even though such
      "I was such a loser" style copy is common in
      online sales letters. If you read direct
      mail you'll find that tabloid-style personal
      stories do come up, but they aren't usually
      used to open the copy... benefits are.

        Yeah, ultimately, you need to hook the reader into the copy with what's in it for them.

        They will only care about your personal story if it is evident that it will benefit them somehow.

    Hi there,

    While your "naked butt" analogy is unique, the structure of the sentence is incorrect. Then it's immediately followed by:

    "I was forced to engineer this method by sudden health problems, fearing jobless and broke future."

    Another sentence which is not grammatically correct. This type of disjointed sentence interrupts the flow of the letter.

    Further down, this gem appears:

    "Get a better healthcare. "

    I stopped right there and didn't read any more. You should hire a native English-speaking/writing copywriter to revamp this for you if you want to give it a serious effort.

    All the best,

    Sasha.

      Hi Alex,

      There's been some pretty good advice already given. Over all, your page isn't a bad attempt--the "moonwalking" analogy made me smile, despite the broken grammar.

      I agree with what mdurhamemailcopywriter and urban renewal have already said about your headline though--it does contain that very funny naked-butt line, but I'm afraid it doesn't make any clear or compelling value propositions. Try to see from the perspective of your intended target audience: what benefit do you want them to enjoy? What problem does your solution solve? How does this make their professional or personal life easier or more enjoyable?

      A good tactic I've found for myself is to try to step outside of my own head and ask: "So what?" Why should someone care that they can create their information product faster than everyone else? What's the correlation between speed and attracting buyers to your naked butt? At every moment of reviewing your copy, be relentless in questioning why someone ought to care about what you've said. This tactic always helps me to boil down whatever I'm saying to its essence.

      Once you've found that succinct value proposition, say it true and say it clearly. Make one strong and irresistible call to action instead of packing your sentence full of benefits--that's just confusing, and the average Internet user doesn't quite have the patience to spend a minute trying to figure out what you meant. Design your web page for that attention span--make your strongest and boldest statements above the fold (the part of the page you can view without scrolling down), and keep the rest of your copy succinct. Your personal story about Ukraine is interesting, but unfortunately quite a distraction from your core message. Compress or remove anything that isn't absolutely necessary. Same goes for your customer testimonials--do they really need to appear twice in the page? Pluck out the most powerful excerpts and make those visually compelling, and they'll come across much more convincingly.

      (Also, you'll want to use more photos in your page--text-heavy copy has its purpose, but the sight of a long-scroll bar with no visual relief in sight can be off-putting.)

      Cheers, and all the best for your web retail efforts!

    Thank you guys!

    I will work on the letter structure, content and the grammar.

  • What I mean by a "strong Call to Action" is to provide them with what you want to them do next

    i.e. "Click here for XXX" or "Simply enter your email for XXX"

    Make the lead up the the Call to Action irresistible to them, so they are looking for where to order before you even offer it. Guide them through the process from start to finish.
