Allright so I've done some scanning around the internet to get a feel and look for the already big names out there self made online entrepreneurs. I've had my site up for a while, not converting anyone into my list. I know that the problems lay with my homepage, and my about page is not even present. I know it would be bad of me to actually ask any of you to write for me, so I won't. I simple ask what are your quick insights into what should be included. So far I'll give you guys the structure ive seen so far.

Top to Bottom of Most Homepages -
Header - Nav bar
Hero Space - Here they include an enticing offer either with a two step opt-in or link to a resource.
Featured on - This is where they give social proof...(As seen on: Forbes, Inc.....)
Now here I get losts with what I should put in my own
In body of page they have pretty much anything it varies
Footer - (Social links, contact info, etc....)

That body part is where I'm struggling.

    Are you talking about the site in your sig? I briefly looked at in on mobile...

    Your headline makes absolutely no sense and has typos:

    "Wondering too long on wether you should start your business or already taking action. Take the poll on what you can do further."

    You probably have a high bounce rate. That headline doesn't do anything for me and I don't even understand it.

    Here is how my site is laid out:

    Header (including a logo and tag line so that the customer immediately know what the site is about). The pages are: Home, Shop, Blog, Contact

    Banner showcasing products and a quick line about the products (customer immediately knows what the site is about) and a "shop" button (my goal is to get visitors to my store).

    Most popular guides. (3)

    Featured products (shows 4 most popular products)

    Latest blog posts (3)

    Most popular blog posts (3)

    Social media links

    Footer (about us, contact, terms, privacy policy, money back guarantee)

    A pop-up lead capture shows after 25 seconds. It displays once every 7 days.

    However, I didn't see any lead capture on the pages I looked at and I didn't get a pop-up. You need to look at the placement and timing of you opt-ins. Start with the pages that your traffic is coming to.

      Yes forgive me, my dumb template editor didn't publish any of my changes made to the Homepage. You are right though, the copy for the header area is dumb and doesn't make sense. The thing is I'm turning off from promoting the site specifically because I know it is not in a presentable form. But thank you for the help, will make sure to add all the changes.
