There are really markets that don't do well at all!

I'm new to this thing, but I think parents tend to have a lot of guilt... your sales copy doesn't play on that emotion. Just my first thought.

I had some criticism of my website for the color scheme in another thread... but, I did some initial research and there are certain colors that sell. They hit the back of the brain and go right past their conscious minds. Green is not one of those colors.

I also think since it isn't an opt-in, but an actual sales page where the purpose is to get a sale that the copy should be longer. Longer sells better, historically.

But, I'm a total newbie. I'm just trying out my own first sales page. I'm only parroting things that I've gleaned from all of the copywriting info. I've absorbed.

If you're game, I'd take a stab at your sales page... maybe we could work out some kind of deal in terms of any profits it generates over what it's doing now - try it for a short period of time. I mean if you've tried everything else... I dunno. Just a thought. I'd like to try my hand at more sales copy. The power of the word to motivate people is where it's at.

I do think this does not seem like a "needy" product. But, if you've had *any* sales, maybe it isn't hopeless.

You say you've had 2 or 3 sales, right? Maybe all is not lost.

Geez! I hope this isn't a silly reply. I've been up all night studying about product launches... I haven't been getting much sleep since I joined the War Room.

I have no testing to support this what so ever but I am a parent so I can give you that perspective.

As a parent I would be willing to spend money on the decrorations, entertainment, and other things needed for the party but I would never buy an ebook on planning a childs birthday party. I would search online for free info on party ideas.

I think maybe that's why sales are not doing well. There is a lot of free info on the subject. That's my guess.

Joseph, mom's & school teachers have been planning parties for kids for centuries without a $17 e-book.

Dose of reality here.

You need an ANGLE, which I didn't really see.

How about repackaging the content as part of a how-to guide for people interested in setting up a business for themselves as a party planner/organizer?

Same content (sort of), different market.

I can't imagine this market does well:

DogDoo.com: The ultimate harmless, SATISFYING practical joke!

To me, this kind of site would have eBay Partner Network written all over it. Given the content away for free with inline ads pointing to various birthday themed items. Other affiliate programs might do good too if you target them well. This is how I work several holiday party and event niche sites.

Yeah, you guys have confirmed my suspicions.

I was thinking that I might as well monetize the site with adsense, CPA, etc.

Any good CPA, eBay, affiliate products that I can sell?
