Default My First Sales Page - Suggestions?

Hi,

I finally finished my very first Ebook sales website, and am wondering if there is anything I should do to improve it.

Anything I should remove? Anything I should add? Anything I should change?

Negative, Positive, Neutral comments are all welcome. I won't be offended .

Thank you,

Hi Donny

It looks to much like a typical ebook sales page, from a personal point of view i find that negative, as i associate that type of ebook sales pages as the type of ebooks that promise a lot but provide nothing of value. Basically scam pages.

Since a picture says so much more check out a typical over hyped ebook/software page.
And you'll see that the overall look of your page and message matches to the linked page.

Make a page that is more of the opposite of a typical ebook sales page.

Create a unique website page(s) and drop the idea of making a typical squeeze page.

At least your sales page isn't three miles long

Oh, and welcome to the forum

Thanks Edwin . I completely understand (I hate them as well), but with all those people making millions of dollars with the same type of sales page, it's tempting. Let me test it, and if it doesn't work like it should, I'm convert. Thanks again!

I have removed the page for public access for the time being while I work to complete my to-do list. Thanks .

Thank you,
Donny

Thank you,
Donny

Hi Donny,

Welcome to 5 Star. Are you really only 15?

I'm with Edwin and was going to say about the same thing. He said it nicer than I may have though. I really, really dislike ebook sales and the typical one page sales letters. I just really can't believe they convert that well.

Hi Linda,

Thank you very much.

Hmm... the last thing I want is for my sales letter to turn people away because of its look. Would you recommend I go with a traditional webpage look, or sould I simply add a couple of elements to the design to lighten it up (like sidebars, etc, etc). Maybe make it look more like richjerk.com

Thank you,
Donny

Hi Donny - i would suggest to break lose of the idea of putting down to much hype on your page. So don't look at what you see on richjerk.com which is a over hyped page as well.

Don't convey the message of selling a secret, but convey the message of selling a course that will help someone understand how to start making money online.

You will come across much more believable doing so.

Introduce yourself to the visitor but don't go to much onto detail on the home page, refer them to your "About" page to learn more about what you do and what allows yourself to make money online.

And create your own material, i take it this is all part of an affiliate program?

It can be much more rewarding as well doing so.

Hmm... that may be a better idea. Breaking everything down into pages might just fetch me a better result (one for me, one for earnings proof, one for testimonials, one for bonuses, etc). Or, I can have it in a 'tour' type of packaging where the user is suggested to go through multiple pages in order to get to the final order page.

No, the product is 100% original and written by myself. There's not much to do with affiliates on my site other than the up-sale thing I have going on on the thank you page.

I would keep the testimonials on the home page though.
As well as what the customer will get as a bonus.

Use the width of your screen to your full potential so you can create a layout
with minimal scrolling and create a design that is not cramped with info.

Use sections to create a good eye flow for the visitor, put your picture on the top with a small introduction and a possible link to an about page to go more into detail who you are.

Additional 2 cents
