Are these 1 page sites effective?

5 replies
I have looked at a thread today and here is a link from it

SEO Blog Kahuna | The WordPress plug-in that has changed the face of On-Page SEO

My question is this, Are these effective and make money?

To me it looks horrible and I would not buy from this.

I was looking at creating a blog/website with landing page and on page subscription areas to build my list. And then cultivating the list with free stuff of value building trust to develop sales.

Am I looking at it wrong or is there room for both methods? If yes, how are these one page jobs best promoted?

Perhaps I should take my niche idea and test three methods to see which works best

Thanks

    It means that you are not the buyer they are looking for. But these types of salespages work and they work pretty well.

    Yes; good ones are effective and make money as part of a sales-process, but not usually as "the sales process".

    They're like ClickBank-type sales pages. Most of my own income comes from a system which includes them! But for the most part even the good ones can convert only warmed up, well targeted, pre-sold traffic with whom the person sending them to the sales page has built a trust-based relationship. They don't typically convert even targeted traffic on their own, without that.

    It's not easy to dispute that, but the example you've linked to does seem a pretty unpleasant one - there are plenty of good ones, too! :p

    They can work very well.

    But the "key concept" is that they're just the last part of a bigger, longer sales-process.

    So the question isn't "Do people really buy from this?" If you ask it like that, the answer's "No, hardly ever". The question is "Do people buy from a long sales-process of which this is just the very last stage?" And the answer to that one is "Yes, if all the rest was well done".

      Thanks Alexa, I'm glad you mentioned about these being a part of the longer process as that sits better with me. Although I feel it may be worth testing the differing methods so I may try it as some point. In the meantime and having just signed up to CB I would look at doing the following.

      1. Have my niche selected
      2. Build my WP blog/website
      3. Have my list building method ready to go straight away with whatever free offer fits with my niche
      4. Get content of value onto the blog/website
      5. Develop and nurture my list (as per your posts :-)
      6. Begin the sales approach with either CB. Amazon. own products that fit my niche

      Am I missing anything?

    I don't see much issue with such 1 page sites. I have personally bought from 1 page sites several times.
    As long as the buyer sees what is he is looking for on 1 page site, he would be happy to buy.

      I see what you mean and maybe its just me, or I haven't seen a page that doesn't look like an all out attempt to take my money... of course they are, but I grip my cash harder when it looks to aggressive :-)
