Any tips for PHOTO of self on squeeze page?

Hi Warrior,

Having a personal identity on a squeeze page can increase trust and sign-ups, right?

The photo on my page (:: AbMyths.com : Easiest Way to Six-Pack Abs, Defined Muscle, Oodles of Energy & Vibrant Health...) is a little too silly, I think.

*** Do you have any suggestions for composing a better one? ***

Thx!
Scott

ps: General comments on page also very welcome!

  • Hi Scott,

    I think you already know the answer here...

    That photo is RIDICULOUS for a fitness product.

    You're better off with just your signature.

    Personal blog? Ok... maybe.

    Fitness product? No.

    Good luck,

    Brian

    • Agreed. As someone who used to be, and is still addicted to working out after a previous battle with being really fat for years, that picture is RIDICULOUS. At least in terms of marketing that as your IMAGE associated with your fitness product. It's something that should stay on Facebook. I'd stick with just a signature man, or maybe if you're really toned you could put a picture of yourself up posing. Maybe you could look on http://www.bodybuilding.com for ideas. Good luck!

  • That pic doesn't fit your page at all IMO. Looking at the two pics to the left of your photo makes you look like you shouldn't be selling this product. I think you could possibly make yourself look strong and confident (never seen you otherwise though), but you're... er... costume doesn't convey that message.

    Then again I suppose you knew that I can't really give better advice than remove the costume, look more confident (may fall in with removing the costume), and try striking a pose that puts your head closer to your arms/chest (like sitting on 1 leg with arm resting on leg?), flexing your arm muscles a bit (not obviously in your face/etc.), with good back posture.

    If possible, you could "ask" a fitness photographer's opinion. I don't know how expensive they are, but there's gotta be some free info on taking pictures of people for purposes like this floating around the 'net.

    Hope I helped a bit

  • Yikes! Bad choice on photo friend.

    The sooner you get that off, the better.

    As far as a replacement, I'd go for a picture of your face...or even a stock photo if you want to go that route, but not what you have. No-no!

    • You already knew the answer to the question. When I look your site, I would not have confidence in you based on your picture. The other part of your premise comes across well. Definitely lose the picture and put a more serious picture on your site.
  • If at present you're not sporting the six pack you're promoting, how about an action shot? Chuck on a tracksuit, hand your camera to a friend, and get them to take a snap of you jogging from about 5 meters away or something.

    Then, you like like your walking the talk (or running it) and given that you'll be moving and a little far away, you won't have to worry too much about posing or getting the perfect shot.

  • Thanks everyone!

    I've removed the photo for now (anyone who want's to see it can look to http://www.abmyths.com/sjphoto.jpg).

    I'll work on a new one based on the helpful advice given above.

    In case anyone wants to offer general comments on the squeeze page: :: AbMyths.com : Easiest Way to Six-Pack Abs, Defined Muscle, Oodles of Energy & Vibrant Health... .

    Thanks again! WF rules!

  • That pic would be good on a landing page selling Elton John CDs, though.
