Help me with my poor signup conversion

But thats the problem, getting people on the list.

I have done FB ppc, cant do adwords cuz they said it is arbitage or whatever, they actually banned me. Did some 7search also.

I give away free tips all day with my articles and via social media.

Is there another way to give free tips than what I am doing?

Hmm, seems to be some problems with it tonight. Thanks guys, I'll address the issues, not sure what the loading problem is.

Mike-Been having issues with HG tonight.

So, you say you left because it wasn't what you were looking for. Of course you were going there because of this thread. But say you were a visitor, what would you be looking for? Articles on fat loss? Muscle building? Free consultation? What would it be?

No they aren't actively engaged. I am getting more engagement on FB, but that's about it. Since they aren't engaging with me, they aren't telling me what they want. But, would I be wrong to assume there is a market for people to learn how to lose fat without fad diet crap? Just straight forward free, simply advise? I try to get across in my posts and in my about section what I am about and what they can expect, where else could i?

Not trying to argue, just answer your questions.

This is excellent advice.

For me, as soon as I landed on your squeeze page, I wanted to leave.

There's nothing enticing there that makes me want to stay.

A couple of other things you could try...

You could also get a short video done.

Or you could craft a short survey page. and put that on your squeeze page for your prospects to do as soon as they land.

Much like I saw on this web page a while back: Beauty Tips, By Sarah Jane (I have nothing to do with this site. It's an excellent involvement strategy)

On a blog accepting comments but with no comments? I wouldn't recommend it.

Or... at least do it like this:

Because you're obviously trying to go with inducing the feeling of scarcity, either choose time (because time does eventually run out) or with a small number (999 could take forever, judging from OP's site).

For time, I might run a trick with a counter that counts down and resets every hour. Though, this might turn loyal readers (assuming there are any) off. You could fix the timer to reset every 24 hours, if you want.

As for numbers, I wouldn't say

"for the first ### downloaders"

but go with something more like

"### free copies left"

Again, choose a smaller number to give a stronger impression of scarcity.

You could always update your post with something like

"due to popular demand, I have decided to give away ### copies"

thereby extending the downloads.

Good luck, bro!

Sodo,

First off, your doing the right thing by asking for critique, it can be very helpful and spawn new ideas.

As far as the squeeze page goes, yes it's ugly "No Offense". But, there are many ugly SP's that successful marketers use that convert very well.

I think you have more of a content challenge with your SP. You have to put yourself in the place of your audience. In my opinion there's nothing compelling on your SP "Again, no offense". Think about how many times you've seen headlines that say things like "Discover the Secrets"

People are getting numb to these standard tag lines, especially in the large market, they've simply become to cliche.

Headline Observation:By including the fact that you're a competitive body builder now, somewhat pigeon holes your offer to people who can only see themselves starting a body building program which is a much narrower market than the general population who just wants to lose weight.

Now, if they need to become a body builder to accomplish what you did, that's fine, your audience will obviously be a sub niche of weight loss, But if your trying to reach a broader audience, your headline needs to be tweaked

Next: Your sub-headline.
Learn How To Lose That Extra Weight ONCE & FOR ALL! It's a fact that if you can convey to your audience that they can easily do what they're reading (With physiological commitment), they'll be much more inclined to opt-in.

Example Only: "If you have less than 20 mins. a day to do these 3 simple things, You can expect to drop up to 15lbs by the end of the month without killing yourself at the gym!"

The point is, you want your audience to convince themselves after reading your copy. Hell yes, I'd love to drop 15 lbs by the end of the month, and I'm sure I could do three simple things.

Be as specific as you can (Drop 15 lbs by the end of the month) without to much hype but still create curiosity: (What are these 3 simply things) I need to opt in and find out. Of course, don't mislead people with false or unrealistic claims, it will always back fire.

I could go on, but I hope you find this helpful. I also like some of the other ideas about before and after pics.
