Congrats! The next step is marketing so you can get your product in the public's eye. If they don't know about it then they can't buy it. iSpy Quality dot com is a helpful site I visit often to find helpful tools that has helped me, specifically with traffic, ways to market, and making money. Good luck with your site!

1. Site loaded slow for me. Could just be my connection tonight.

2. Header is blank? That whole sales page needs to be kicked up

3. The blue in your headline hurt my eyes - bad color.

4. Copy is too small - also, not sure why you are addressing only warriors if you really want to make lots of money. You left a lot of others in the wind.

5. Font is too small and all underlined. This is unattractive

6. Proof of earnings can be photoshopped or faked - and I'm not feeling great about it appearing so high up (very hypey).

I'm going to stop here cause there is so much work needs to be done to refine this sales letter that you should probably spend some time in the copy section of this forum.

Also, I hope you're not 16 as you will be booted from this forum.

Finally, if you are doing so well then you should be building (or have someone build for you) a site on your own domain and hosting - not weebly.

There is a place for weebly, but I don't believe it's with selling your own products.

center your "buy it now" on the bottom, and make it BIGGER. At this point it is traffic traffic traffic. Use FB or Twitter or Pinterest or any other social media to drive traffic to your site.

Good Luck!

Make another, and another, and another... Eventually, it will all come together, there are many facets of building a website.

IMHO, keep practicing on those FREE sites for awhile, practice writing content, writing sales copy, and put some affiliate offers out there...

When you make your first $50-$100 invest in a domain at Namecheap or GoDaddy, and get you some hosting. Normally, I'd say Hostgator... but since they've been bought out, maybe spend a bit more on a VPS over at WiredTree

Yep, if you claim to have earned thousands of dollars, then you should at least have your own domain. Your site being on Weebly does not inspire a lot of confidence in what you are saying.

And please proofread the copy, there's just too many inconsistencies (read:errors).

If it's too valuable, why sell it for $10?

But way to go on your decision to make your own site and become a marketer yourself!

The number one reason I have found that might bring problems to your site is its loading time. It takes quite long time to load. Hope, it is only for me or may be the connection problem this time.

But you must remember that loading time is a very important ranking factor nowadays in most Search engines. So I would suggest you to take care of it.

It is not easy to get thousands of sales. It takes a lot of time, dedication and hard work that will actually make it possible eventually.

If you are serious about becoming successful for the long run, get your own paid for site. The free ones are not as professional looking and don't have that much pull compared to the paid for word press blogs that are currently dominating Google search.

After you really create your own site, then start by doing stuff that will drive 'targeted' traffic into it.

There are tons of threads in this forum on how to do just that!

Hi,
I see you site i think you need to put some more efforts to make it more professional and eye catching and also it would be better if you use .com domain on you own hosting not any sub domain like weebly.com but if don't have money spend in hosting and domain then this is better and also make the buyer button big.

First of all, congratulations on taking action.

Your sales page isn't the worst I've seen, but it's far from the best.

First and foremost, you claim to make $4000 per month but your site is hosted on Weebly and you don't have a .com. In the eyes of a buyer, this will make them very skeptical about your income, because it looks like you're doing things on the cheap.

As for the sales page itself, it's poor on many levels...

You're obviously using a weebly template but the header and menu aren't required, they're pushing the content below the fold.

The actual sales page itself looks messy. Different font sizes everywhere, including some that aren't easy to read being so small. A small headline on a random red block. What looks like 'blue scribble' around the ecover and above the earnings (have no idea what it's doing there).

The income screen shots don't seen to fit with the headline claims. Your income screens show monthly income in the $300-$400 region and your headline claims $4000. There's nothing other than Adsense there to substantiate that you're using any other platforms.

I only scanned the copy but couldn't really tell what you were selling. I gathered there was something about Youtube and Traffic included, but that's about it. The rest is blind to me, and as far as blind copy goes, this really isn't executed well. Apart from the income, where are the benefits?

In a quick 60 second scan I noticed about 5 or 6 types. A couple were really poor.

I commend you on taking action, you've got further than 90% will. But if you want to see anything come from this, I'd suggest scrapping Weebly and investing a small amount of your monthly income into hiring a designer, copywriter and getting hosting and a domain.

  How do you promote making money when you're asking how to make money...?
  
  I'm not going to pretend I know much, in fact I'm just starting as well, but people aren't dumb. They're going to figure out, and figure out QUICKLY, that you have no idea what you're talking about...
  
  That being said... if you're still fixated on doing this, your website needs a lot of work.
  
  I would basically be your target audience, since I'm just starting out.
  
  - Why only address Warriors?
  - The red backgrounds and colored text are UGLY and painful to read. I actually felt my eyes straining.
  - No refunds? That's basically telling people you're expecting them to want one. Really confidence inspiring.
  - Your about/contact page are blank.
  - You offer no background on yourself besides "claiming" you're a Prodigy. You don't want to hype it up? Hype = buzz. Buzz = more traffic. More traffic = more money...what...?
  - "As if at was not enough"...Please proofread.
  - The text is often formatted incredibly poorly. New sentences randomly being cut off and put into random lines and areas.
  
  You know what my thought was when reading about your product? "This is too good to be true." ...And not in a good way...more in a...this guy's kidding right...?
  
  Thanks

HURRAH you done the first step. I check out you website and the about and the contact are blank which is kinda sketchy and one another note touch up the article. It's really generic and comes off too much as a sales pitch. I read forcefully read it and from a buyers perspective I wouldn't buy because I would think it was a scam. So just touch it up and personalize it a bit

You cannot get thousands of sales overnight with any kind of website.
In your case you cannot even get a single sale because I think you do not know what you are selling.
You have just put what the product owner gave you. You don't have actually tried the system or product.
This way you will be just scamming people.

Good idea. Maybe not the "make money niche" tho'.
Try something that doesn't have as much competition by marketers with extremely deep pockets. Something in the health niche but niche it down a lot.
Then you have to figure out a way to drive traffic to it. FB ads maybe? It's a lot cheaper than G.
It will take a while to generate enough interest and traffic to it so don't get discouraged. Anyone here can tell you that overnight success is just snake oil from scam marketers.

Keep it up. Don't get discouraged if it takes a bit.

I can't imagine anyone would ever, ever arrive at your site and actually purchase your 'super' system, i mean seriously.
and the sales letter (which the weebly deluxe website seems to be a framing device for) is so, so bad.

The site is an eyesore. Colors, type, everything.
Created on Weebly instead of own host and domain - no credibility.
Fake income screenshots. Paypal income history screenshot from 2012.
Selling something you know nothing about with fake screenshots since you haven't made that kind of money with this "first" site.

Keep working on building a business but you really should dump the idea of lying to visitors about income and making money and build a reputable business that gives value to your customers. The site is poor, but so is the product. A MMO product by someone who has never made money online .... like there aren't thousands of those already.

Hi,

Front End is only part of the process.

Yeah you can test your headlines, price points etc to try and improve
conversions but you also want to consider building an email list.

Creating a solid back end email system that converts your subscribers into
buyers and buyers into raving fans of yours is the direction you want to head
towards.

That means you'll have long term business that stands the test of time.

HELP OTHERS first then give them that help by asking them to PAY YOU
for that help.

Your current page is your first but that doesn't mean it has to be your last.

Back to the drawing board, dust yourself down and start over.

I wish you all the best moving forward my friend.
