Advice needed first time list building

12 years ago

Spend $5 over on Fiverr to get a better cover made.

Your benefit is just a little too general. What *SPECIFICALLY* will I get if I get your book?

Also, I dislike the term "ebook" - I prefer "manual" or "report"... but that's just me.

I'd try to be far more specific - also, what ... in the health niche... are you targeting?

"Health" covers a very broad area... are you targeting teenage girls who need to fit into their summer bikini?

Or perhaps the 40 year old who's starting to worry about back pain from his sedentary job?

Or maybe the spry 70 year old who wants to be even more active?

Or perhaps the 30 year old smoker who's beginning to realize that they can't quit smoking?

Or maybe someone starting to develop varicose veins, and wants something other than surgery?

Lots of places to go with "health".

- Where can I look to increase opt ins please?
- Also, is the squeeze page OK?

Thanks Warriors!

At this point, we really don't know if it's your squeeze page not converting well (problem on the squeeze page design side) or the fact that your Facebook ads aren't really bringing the right people to your squeeze page (problems on the Facebook ads side).

Which is it? Are you getting ample traffic?

Not knowing that, I agree with Ben in that your ebook cover is quite plain so get that spruced up. Go ahead and put a number in front of "secrets". Those 2 things alone will increase your conversions dramatically!

Thanks

In my view point spend $5 dollar on fiveer to get a cover to get attention of people. image plays a big role on eyes. well Color and design comes first then content good luck

Thanks

I would lose the ebook cover and replace it with an attractive young, smiling person looking at your button. Give the impression that this healthy young person finds your offer very interesting.

Show people what they will get, not the form of delivery.

I think, from my point of view the copy on the LP is too broad...

Its not targeting any specific health niche and not solving any specific problem.

How have you set up your FB ads....I mean, exactly who are you targeting?

So far everything that has been suggested is right on in my opinion. A new ebook cover would be a great thing (You might even want to incorporate the images from the book into your squeeze page for testing).

From there it's pretty much split testing.

Solo Ads are by far the best source of traffic you can get. It is paid traffic, but it is worth every penny! Solo ads give you targeted traffic that are already interested in your niche. This way you get more clicks to your site which leads to more conversions, eventually leading up to more sales. Google some solo ad providers in your niche and see the results you get, You'll be amazed

Good Luck

Thanks

I agree with the above suggestion about solo ads. Once you have your give-away report the way you want it and your landing page is looking good than you should consider using some TARGETED solo ads to help build your list.

My suggestion:

- Work a little more on mobile version of your squeeze page
- Your squeeze page loads a little slow, you may optimize the page to load faster
- Try targeted traffic

Hey John,
Your squeeze Page and the Headlines there are just too vague. You need to be more specific as to what you are talking about and offering. What health benefits ? Mental, Physical, Spiritual Benefits?

Plus, it is also a little confusing. Is the E- book part of the 5 ideas you mention in the headline ?

Or is that separate ?

Btw, here is a wonderful little resource I use to construct my e-book covers
eBook Cover Creator - Design Your Own 3D eCover online

P.S. You need to redo that E-book Cover. I cannot even read part of the Cover.

Can you make things a little more specific? People want to know exactly what they're getting. Obviously you have to leave some mystery and intrigue, but you also don't want them scratching their heads wondering why they should bother checking out your work.

My three advises would be,

1. Be more specific
2. Try to work the design of the Squeeze page
3. Test, test AND test until you find what works best

Hello,

My advice would be get a couple of new book covers made on the likes of fiver. Post them up on a couple of the ebook forums such as these and ask people for their opinions on which cover they like best and any other changes they would like. Add an author name to the book to make it more credible.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/357112331027292/
https://www.facebook.com/groups/freekindlebookclub/

Make your offer more compelling. What else will they be getting when they sign up to the list.

In terms of you Facebook adverts. Again get a few adverts made up split test the adverts and also test them Infront of different Facebook audiences to get the betst CTR. It may also be worth starting a fan page for your "brand / offering" Driving traffic to your fan page and then pinning your offer to the top of the news feed will direct people to the website.

I hope these are a few good ideas for you!

Cheers

Thanks

Hi John

A lot of the replies so far has been revolving around your page design, headlines etc.

I really think you should look into traffic generation as your no.1 priority.

I know "experts" will claim that it's better to have xx% conversion that xx% but in my honest opinion - Get some traffic and then start tweaking :-)

If you feel unsure about traffic generation methods free or paid please let me know and I will give you a gentle push in the right direction..

Thanks

I think the cover had been changed since the first post coz I think it looks good.

Anyway, try to home in on a good outcome in the copy. "healthier lifestyle" is a bit general.

But well done on getting it up and sending traffic to it! Like the previous poster said, keep sending traffic so you can test and tweak accordingly. All the best!

Thanks
