Anyone Create Sales Letters With WordPress?

by Kenneth L
68 replies
Hi Guys,

I recently read a couple of posts from a well-known successful PPC Marketer who said that WordPress is the way to go to avoid Google Slaps into the future.

I wonder if anyone has, or knows of any good information about how to create sales letters in WordPress?

I currently use XSitePro 2 but can really see its limitations and want to make the switch.

All help will be really appreciated!

Best Wishes,
Kenneth

    I was JUST thinking about this the other day...if using Wordpress as the main, sales page would help with the Google Slap issues.

    Anyone know if this is the case?

      I think it does. Because WordPress is easy to SEO it makes getting a great quality score easy.

      It's creating the sales letter with WordPress which seems difficult with it being a Blogging Platform.

      That is using what I described above.
      Thanks Steve. That's great information.

      The one thing I notice about the template they have there is it seems slightly off-center in its alignment. Hopefully that can be sorted.

      For $295 it seems like a good deal.

    My sales page and entire site, for that matter, is done in wordpress. I have no idea if it helps me with Google or not. But it was easy to setup, so I'm a Wordpress fan.

        I can't remember the theme name, but it really doesn't matter at all. All you need to do is:

        1) create a page template with a section separate div for the header (which includes menu if you like) and another div for the content. Then a footer div at bottom. The template calls up header.php and footer.php (you can see this by looking at the default template).

        2) Modify the CSS to suit your needs. Colors, font sizes, etc. This is pretty easy to do.

        So you can honestly use ANY theme to do this. The theme I used was a total bare bones theme.

        Just hire someone to do it. There is a free theme called "Flexibility" that I've heard is very flexible

          Yes, I am a fan of the Flexibility theme
          You can do a lot with it.

    WP offers a lot of versatility. The Semiologic WP is turbo-charged, but also costs a bit of cash, if that is an issue for you...you can do WP for zero investment and still get many of its benefits.

    WP sites and their 'kind' seem to be preferred by search engines (esp. Google) so try it and see. I am putting WP sites against my static HTML sites...and WP is whipping a** every time.

      I don't understand why people think WP gets preferred in Google?

      So are you saying Google finds something in the source code that is related to wordpress (maybe some meta data, etc....) and then gives that site a few thumbs up?

      WP just makes getting a site up and running easy, along with being able to modify the permalink, creates the environment to be search engine friendly...but the mere fact one is using the WordPress software should NOT matter at all to a search engine.

        I strongly encourage all Warriors to support other Warriors. Some of the links and services offered above are excellent and should be fully explored.

        Here is a link to some additional sales page themes...

        Two More Sales Page Free WordPress Themes Released at IMWB :: Cory Miller | Entrepreneurship, Marketing and WordPress

        The new themes include (information taken from above page):

        * Three sales page templates - so you can create tons of sales pages easily in WordPress
        * Customizable graphical header - the download includes the Photoshop files to change and upload to your site
        * Widget ready sidebars - one theme has a right sidebar and the other a left sidebar
        * Search engine optimized -- each theme is tweaked for the best result.

        I hope this helps.

        Not sure what it is Google finds but I do know it does make a difference. I have had several clients who are heavy into doing PPC and their quality scores on their landing pages were terrible...until we attached a WordPress blog on it...even without any additional content on the site and only an about me, contact and privacy policy, their quality score was all good...go figure!

      If you ask me, Wordpress is really the catch all. For the amount of effort to learn to use Wordpress effectively vs. learning an html editing program like dreamweaver or frontpage, I would say Wordpress is the way to go.

      Not only is Wordpress SEO friendly and very customizable but once you set it up a couple of times, it becomes very simple in the future. To answer the question at hand, Wordpress can definitely be used as a salespage with the proper modifications. Learning those modifications and techniques is really not so hard and there are a lot of great courses out there that will teach you quickly and effectively. You just gotta DO it.

      Hi Richelo. I'd be dead keen to check out your videos. How much mate? I'm wanting to utilise my WordPress blog to create a sales page and a thank-you page as per Clickbank's requirement in order to sell my ebook. I'm a real newbie so are the videos real simplistic in content? Cheers.

      If you know a little css you can make a sales letter with Wordpress. I either create my own or use a very minimal looking free theme and then customize it. You can check out one of my sales letters created in Wordpress in my sig (Wordpress User Guide link).

      You can make Wordpress look like any type of static site if you know some css. I find it very easy to customize Wordpress themes and any one can do it if you apply yourself a little by reading a good css book.

    I also use Wordpress as a CMS for many of my sites.

    I use the "blog" posts for regular article updates, "page" posts for static pages.

    Sometimes for ultimate flexibility, I will create my own sales page, OTO etc using Dreamweaver or Coda and upload them to the same directory as my Wordpress, being very careful to use unique file names. I then link to that page as usual.

    eg http://www.mydomain.com/sales-page.html

    Just because you're using wordpress, it doesn't mean you can't have custom-designed pages that were created outside of wordpress side by side in the same directory.

    The theme that was on offer in WSO some time ago is Elegantio Squeeze Pages Made Easy : Elegantio V1 - I use it and it's awesome. It's currently free to use but for $5 you help feed a uni student and can then use your own footer. The designer is currently close to releasing version 2, no idea how that will be priced. However, if you purchase V1 now, you get free upgrades for life.

    If you chip in $5 you'll also get a pdf with his suggested plugins - one of them is the one to keep selected pages off your navigation menu. I have my sales page, then my opt in confirmation and thank you pages set up, and the latter two don't show up on my page navigation. HTML and I don't get on well, so I just love how easy it is to do that with this theme.

    I'm not an affiliate, and that's not an affiliate link, I'm just a happy client.

      Obviously, you have not been "slapped" by Google, but it certainly exists. I do know that Google likes Wordpress in the SE's.

      I was thinking this too.

      Wordpress might be idiot-proof and have lots of great plug-ins but how does the mere fact that you are using that particular software translate into an SEO benefit?

      Even a basic html page, written by hand in Notepad, can be made SEO-friendly, so what's the advantage with Wordpress? That's NOT a rhetorical question; I'm actually very curious to know if there is some hidden advantage in the software itself. I don't know what it is and, if I'm honest, I think that people are actually confusing 'easy-to-use' with 'good-for-SEO' (but please correct me if that isn't the case).

        I am now convinced the wordpress route is the way to go, I never knew about a google slap especially if you're not a good copywriter am sure it is best to go the wp route unless you have few hundreds to spend on hiring a copywriter.

    its what i do. For the special pages which i use as PPC landers or sales letters i usually modify the themes so that the PAGES dont show "blog typical" side bars like "recent posts", "categories" and similar.

    I also usually set up static pages for "contact us", "privacy policy" and so forth. Works pretty well. That way, you can have a blog (even a autoblog which automatically gets content)...and sub-pages which look like sales pages and PPC landing pages.

    WP Easy Sales Letter has an options page under the theme menu to select the sales page style you want and enter all your sales page info (e.g. sales links, images, etc.).

    The WP PPC theme is a nice looking one-column sales page theme that you use like any other theme.

      Yes. Do we make things more complicated than they need to be? Is there a way just to "cut out" the sidebars, comments, add your own custom headers and footers? Am I missing something?

      You know it's interesting that you say that. As we speak I'm putting the finishing touches on a guide that shows you how to take any existing HTML Minisite Template, and convert it to work with Wordpress.

      There are so many free and cheap minisite templates out there I thought it would be awesome if people knew how to just grab any one of them and make it work on Wordpress.

      I can't really say too much here about it without sounding self interested, but when it's done it's actually going to be completely free.

      So, it's not quite ready for public consumption, but if anyone would like to be an early guinea pig of the process and tell me if it falls down at any point, you can PM me and I'll send you a copy as soon as I'm done.

    Hi,

    I am currently working on a project that will launch soon that you might be interested in.

    It is called Sales Page Masters, it is a membership for sales page templates for WordPress.

    It will be launching soon. If interested, look it up.

      With every man and his dog these days creating (and selling) their own WP templates with Artisteer (affiliate link in sig), it's easy to create your own sales templates.

      For example, this one - www.benz1.com/sales_letter_theme_screenshot.jpg literally took me 5 mins to create. You're welcome to download it from www.benz1.com/WPsalesletter.zip. As with any other WP template just upload it to your wp-content/themes folder and activate in Appearance > themes. You can change font/size/colors, etc, in the style sheet.

        We have just released a free wordpress sales letter and squeeze page theme. For information product marketers you can pretty much create a full minisite with it.

    Wordpress, and any blog for that matter, has a huge problem with Google. They expect a blog to be updated regularly, or they will dump it. Yes, you can get ranked high very quickly, but unless you update every week, you will get slapped big time after a while. I have seen a well known site convert to blog, and go from number 5 to number 85, after they had not updated for several months.

    Hey guys,

    There are so many options here as far as wordpress sales letter themes, but I have a problem I can't figure out. Basically I want to turn just two of my blog pages into sales letters, and have the rest of the blog be a regular blog. so for ex:

    Landing page ---> Thank you page ---> to regular blog.

    The problem I'm finding with these sales letter themes is that they turn every post and page into it's own sales page, how would I go about just making two of my pages sale pages, and still have the regular blog?

    Also, is there a plugin that allows you to use different fonts, and sizing when your writing posts or pages?

      I just found out about this site tonight which can keep your original blog theme but add all sorts of sales letters and squeeze pages to your blog. They have a plugin version or a whole theme version. So you don't even need to change the theme of the blog if you use the plugin.

      Good for people who want to use Thesis or some other theme for most of their blog and have the ability to create sales letters and squeeze pages on individual blog posts or pages.

    I usually make all of my sales pages with wordpress.

    The problem is, the CSS is different a lot of times and if you're copying and pasting stuff sometimes the formatting gets really janky and it takes a lot of effort to sort it out.

    Anyway since I can't sleep tonight I'll do a fast explanation of how I set them up.

    1. Register keyword rich domains and set up wordpress
    2. Set the sales page as the homepage
    3. Turn off any indications of posts (in the sidebar, or a posts page)
    4. Set up 1 blogroll link with the main keyword I'm trying to target for sales page, linking to the sales page
    4. Set up an exit pop offering something of value related to the product to get people into the autoresponder
    5. Set up the biggest possible ping list
    5. Set up a bookmarking plugin (I use one for onlywire) to automatically bookmark every post
    6. Run through my favorite autoblog plugins to generate 5-10 unique posts every day and schedule it out for at least 3 months (pulling from youtube, yahoo answers and amazon - NOT individual normal peoples blogs)

    The net effect is that the pings and the bookmarking get thousands of keyword rich pages indexed, each with a blogroll link using the anchor text of my main keyword leading back to the sales page.

    If the user goes to the homepage they see the sales offer. If they exit from the blog post they get the exit pop.

    Sales page ranks high for the given keyword. User never sees unrelated content unless they come in through a search or do a site: query.

    List gets big. People get cycled back to the sales page. Stuff gets sold.

    Caveat: I don't do this on domains I'm nervous about getting de-indexed. If I have the .com I'll do this on .org/net/info, etc. with the blogroll link leading to the .com salespage.

    On the SEO side of things, one plug-in I swear by is Greg's High Performance SEO plug-in.

    If your site is content rich, as most long-form sales letters are, you can expect to start receiving search engine traffic in two days.

    If you're a split tester, there are two tools you should have at your disposal:

    1. Free SEO Analysis Search Engine Optimization Tool - SEO Workers This site will show you exactly how search engine spiders see your site and give you free quality scores.

    2. WP Sales Letter (DM me for links) With this guide, you'll be able to use Wordpress to build pro-quality sales letter sites in 15 minutes & create clone sites in 5 minutes to speed up your split-testing efforts.

      A lot of good information in here and I wont pretend to be an expert.
      I created a simple WordPress page to poll people about a digital product I'm creating. Google slapped, they stated I was violating their exaggerated get-rich-quick scheme policy. This in spite of the fact that I never mantioned anything about sales, prices, effort (or lack thereof), or outcome. Got it lifted, apparently by adding a disclaimer, stating that none of the things I hadn't mentioned should be taken seriously... go figure.
      Anyway, this might be taken as an indicator that WordPress is not a Google protection.
      I do believe though that having your site hosted by a pay for service web-host is a good start. (although, again, not in my case).
      I believe Google doesn't use meta tags in its algorithms any more but a squeeze page / sales letter has the option for adding some meta keywords and content that the search engines like.
      Perhaps one of the guru's here might like to correct me or expand on the topic?
