Help Please...

Change the graphic on the second one. It's too compressed. Can barely read it. Remember: people bounce off pages very quickly. You must communicate clearly and FAST.

Ironic that you're complaining of not making sales and you're selling a "how to make easy pay days" product.

What sort of an optin rate are you getting. When you determine this, you can then determine how much it costs you per subscriber and in turn you can then adjust the cost of your SLO or your OTO to cover your costs and to keep the price as low as possible

Ok,

writeaway

Thanks for the input so far - I will change the text to be more read-able, I am assuming that is what you are talking about as there isn't an actual graphic on the 2nd one?

Andyhenry - I agree it is ironic, my personal opinion is fake it until you make it. So I would never lie and say that I had made that amount of money, because I haven't, when I have I will probably release my own product on how to do it.

Thanks

Jonnoryan,

On the first page I have an avergae optin rate of around 17% (which I think is low) and the 2nd page gets an optin rate of about 34% (which is started to get to a reasonable rate, or so I have read - I am going to tweak it and only ask for email to see if that increases the opt-in).

I think my biggest challenge is the way in which I am presenting the SLO and also the fact that it is a $9.95 SLO (I have rad a LOT of information over the past few weeks and started implementing straight away, as I think that is the fastest way to learn, and by doing so have also got a little confused at times - I am part of dotcomsecrets x - I am listening to the information and applying it to my own pages instead of using Russells system as I rather "own" the page then just copy what everyone else may have done. Now some people say always use a low cost SLO between $7-$15 is what I have rtead from lots of different sources and others say use a $30-$40 SLO. I understand a $30-$40 SLO will over my cost in less sales and a cheaper SLO will need more sales, however people are more likely to part with $7 then $30 - this is slightly dependant on how much rapport has been built).

What would you guys suggest?

What would you suggest in the current method delivery of the SLO (i.e. in the first email)

Thanks

Guys,

Please don't argue - I can see both sides of what your saying, just valuable input would be really helpful please.

Thanks
Divian

Any further help guys?

I have to agree with Andy on this one.

Your squeeze page and attitude of 'faking it until you make it' is exactly what's wrong with this industry and why we get such a bad rap. Each and every person who screws people in this industry affects the overall impression people get of this industry and that's why people get annoyed with this type of stuff.

If you are not making money yourself then you really have no qualifications to be selling dreams or teaching others to do something you have not yet done yourself. You are just misleading people down a path to help make yourself your first few dollars online.

There are much better and more ethical ways to make money online.

As for the people saying why are you singling him out when thousands of others are doing the same. How do you think that excuse works when a cop pulls you over for speeding. "Officer, why are you targeting me when so many other people are speeding?" Sorry, that's just a silly argument. I'll still call a spade a spade when I see one regardless of how many other spades there are.

If people can make money with the information inside your report then why aren't you doing it yourself?

Ok,

So tell me this guys - if I don't have a product because I haven't made money online (I have made money online just not in the internet marketing niche, thats another business thought) then what do I sell?

You see I can see this being a cyclical discussion to an extent.

So when you guys all started out, you would have started having made nothing online, so how would you suggest going about making money online?

I have bought a fair number of WSO's, non of them have made me money, some of them I haven't implemented out of choice (I believe in focusing on a single strategy and becoming the best at that). The way I see this is that it is about growing your list (that I totally understand) and there are costs to growing your list (whether it be your time or paying for traffic). So either way there should be a reward somewhere, I think everyone would agree with me so far.

If I don't have a product of my own then what do I sell?

With regards WSO's, the report that is given away on my website is one that was in a WSO (that I am sure a lot of other people have also bought and used - so I think changing that to something original would be handy).

I still don't understand where to start from, from what has been said, you say don't sell something that is not yours, so what do I sell if I haven't made any money online anyway? and don't have a product?

I am sure everyone must have started in this exact position, as at some point everyone started. No one has yet taught me in any product I have bought where to start with this, any advice?

I don't expect a manual for free on how to do it, simply how did you start? What did you create as a product to begin with?

Thanks
Divian

Why do you have to sell a "make money online" product?

Surely you have knowledge and expertise in something? Perhaps your other business that you mention have made money in?

The problem is, that if you try to "fake it til you make it" then it's not sincere, you have no value to add which will get in the way of you making money.

My brother, there's no easy money , there's challenge to face.
Once you know how your market thinks then you'll do the right approach, how you should write the ad copy and so on.
There might be a slight miss that you don't have enough basic understanding about the market. Presenting the right audience to the right product will be one of the most important factor to increase your conversion.
