    I don't know, but my mind turned off in 0.5 seconds when I saw the amount of text, which is not aesthetically pleasing. Perhaps you could shorten it, and provide it with a more adequate presentation.

    You need to fix the writing (grammar, etc). Also, you're missing samples/stats. Sure, you're selling traffic-getting articles, but you offer nothing to back up your service.

    Also, right off you've basically said that you have no real experience:

    "I have researched about Article Marketing for many months"

    I'd spend some time actually doing what you think you know, so that you can provide specific stats.

    As a reader I'm wondering what level of traffic can I expect. Am I going to get at least 10,000 views with the article I buy from you and at least 1,000 clicks? If so, can I see proof?

    Also, who is your audience? Is it low-level webmasters who haven't tried article marketing? Or is it people that article market (like me) and if so, you'll need to get a whole lot more specific and provide a lot more proof. I can already write my own article and get good traffic from it. So, I'd be looking to see if you can outdo me. If yes, you might have a sale. If not (as it looks like right now), you don't.

    I have made changes to the website and corrected the grammar mistakes and lowered the price to create a market.

    My target market is people who don't know much about article marketing. Just ordering for articles and submitting to the directories.

    I cannot provide proof.First i need testimonials and later i can try get the proof from the clients.

    I think it's difficult if you can't provide proofs. Or at least statistics to back your claims up. If you say that you want to target people who don't know much about article marketing, then you must show WHY they have to trust you and not another provider. What makes you and your service special?

    Best if you can present a case study of sorts...like you have this project...you did something and now that person's enjoying so and so traffic everyday.

    Oh boy! This thread is so relevant! Ok guys, I have two blogs that offers same service as this site, with few others including proofreading. If possible, please have a look at it and let me know what you think. The intention of the blog is to attract more clients and though price range is not mentioned anywhere, it is actually close to what article writer prefers.

    Here are the blogs I am talking about:
    contentswriters.wordpress.com/[/url]
    writers-at-its-best.blogspot.com/[/url]

    Cheers.

    Dude that site needs some help.

    Seriously the grammar the format the site needs some help.

    No one is going to lay down money for stuff like that.

    I didn’t even make it trough a couple of sentences until it was full of bad grammar.

    I write like crap myself and that is why I hire people to clean up my stuff, you should do the same.

    And this is why I wouldn't buy from you--because you're trying to sell something without actual experience. Nothing personal though, I see it all day long. You know, the guy who is going to tell me how to make an extra $100 a day with AdSense, but makes $30 a month.

    Your competition is showing proof. I'm not talking about testimonials. I'm talking about actually doing what's being sold and showing results.

    Even the newest of the newbs is going to want to know exactly what you're talking about (traffic numbers, etc). That's copywriting 101.

    While you may get some sales over time, you'll be wasting a lot of traffic and losing a lot of money.

    Then change the angle of your sales pitch. Play on the fact that your target doesn't know much about article marketing. You should cut out the entire first paragraph. No one cares about your research, even newbies.

    Your copy needs a lot of basic work, spelling, grammar, sentence structure, word choice... You say too much and use too many unnecessary words.

    For example,

    Don't say you're going to do it, just do it.

    Same thing here. As you give the reader more information about successful article marketing, they'll realize their failures on their own. Seriously, you're killing the mood by talking about it so much.

    You're trying to sell writing services, but your copy itself is poorly written. People aren't going to hire you to write for them because they've already seen that you can't write very well.

    If you're not completely sure of your service, why should anyone else be?

    I only mentioned a few examples, but there are lots of mistakes throughout the entire copy.

    Thanks to all for their inputs.

    I have changed the format. Really i have not given any serious effort to craft the sales pitch.

    Well, what latoya said is true and including all them posted here. I have made the changes according to that. But now i have dropped my concentration on copy.

    First i need know the anatomy of crafting the sales pitch for my service which will be more appealing to my target audience and this is the first time i am writing a sales copy.

    what to place first, like explaining about their concept of article marketing which is poor.For example solely believing on high quality content and forgetting about the resource box. Providing too much information on the article, theme of article is not relevant to landing page, etc

    Secondly, benefits they get

    Thirdly, how i am able to guarantee that i can provide only articles that pull in traffic.

    Fourthly,
    How do they can confirm that.

    fifthly,

    about the price and the details about article ordering

    Is this okay?

    ------

    I have lowered the price to $5.95 and a template is installed. Now the site is looking some what good compare to before.Right now i am working on designing part.

    I am really in confused state due to personal affairs that is what reflected on copy, even on spellings.

    From top to bottom the copy needs to be changed.

    - Straight to the point (Concise)
    - copy has to be shorten as much as possible.
    - gathering points which my target audience will be interested to know,
    - words to use
    - concepts to use

    Anyone can throw their concepts, exact words to use, especially on the angle of the sales pitch to be written. So this may be useful for people like me viewing this thread. And also including me.

    Presentation wise, it looks a little better. Everything about the words still needs work.

    If I were you I would do this...

    1. Take one of your website and use it as a test.

    2. Take a screenshot of the traffic today.

    3. Start submitting articles to directories, using the same article writing skills you're selling your customers.

    4. Take a screenshot of the traffic everyday until you decide to conclude the test, e.g. 10 days, 14 days.

    5. Analyze the results. If you didn't get a signficant increase in traffic, then you need to do something differently and do the test again.

    When you get it right - the articles are showing a sizeable traffic increase and you can prove it with screenshots and links to your articles in directories - there's your proof. You can start building your copy around that.

    Do a forum search on "article marketing" and see what problems your target is facing. Use that to tweak your service and write your sales copy.

    Before you start sending people to your sales people, hire a proofreader.

    Now, if I were in your position, I'd raise the price (only if I could prove the results) and also hire a proofreader to fix spelling and grammatical errors before you send your articles off to paying customers/submit them to directories.

    Question, is it really necessry work on traffic analysis?

    I have been running websites before, nor related to article writing, but I always determined its success by the number of sales or sponsoring money received without go into the hassle to review website stats :O

    Okay, forget all the grammar issues (Lord give me strength). You've got "Billy Bob Joe Ray, that there be a twister heading for our new mobile home" problems.

    Sheeeeeaaat

    You can lower the price to $1 and include a free sensual massage, but you're still not going to get much business.

    ISSUES:

    1. You guarantee traffic, but leave out specifics and don't even wet my appetite with stories, visuals or anything. Even televangelists give us something.

    2. You provide no proof that you actually know what you're talking about or doing (personally, I don't believe you do).

    3. QUOTE: "So, if you are a person expecting a complete information-packed article to bring in traffic to your site then you are exaclty wrong." And right next to it you say I'm "in ignorance." --- Why don't you just kick me in the balls instead? At least that way I might drop some change.

    4. You need to beef up this sales page. As is, it would have trouble giving away free hamburgers and fries to starving people in 3rd world countries.

    Your sales page, since it's for writing, is a bit like a lawyer who's office is a cardboard box downtown. He's got a long, dirty beard, smells like piss and is holding an empty bottle of Jack Daniels that he keeps licking on the off chance that some liquor might magically appear. It doesn't inspire much confidence in the services being touted.

    Want to make it all go away like that person you accidently slept with, woke up to the next morning and realized the alcohol made him/her much better looking and more interesting, but now he/she won't leave because you two "made a connection" and you might be "the one?"

    Hire a professional. Problem solved.

    You need someone to rewrite it for you. It simply won't succeed in this form.

    Why do all these sites look exactly the same. One long column with a book worth of how the author was broke, got a great secret, is now ultra rich, and will now tell you how for a low low price of xx$ always with similar looking "100% guaranteed" images and such. I don't even bother reading any of it when I see such a site.

    Having a unique template would be a start, so would having a manageable amount of text for the reader to get the main idea.

    Hmm, if you don't have any stats you can show yet, you could offer this service for free on content forum in exchange for a review... just a thought ;)
