Because of sales letters. Whenever I see a sales letter I feel like throwing up, closing down the Firefox tab and banning the website from the face of the Internet and then killing myself with a chainsaw for loosing 3s of my life. For crying out loud people, if you want to sell something at least make it look decent! Stupid ten miles long sales letters are the only reason why I don't promote products from Clickbank. I don't care if it sux, just make it look good and I'm telling this from my own experience, even if your product is what I want, if I see a sales letter it's 100% I won't buy it. 95% of all Clickbank websites are sales letters and that's why I went to CJ. Dammit people!
Hahaha! Calm down man, don't keep hate in your heart, lol ha! well that's an opportunity then! ... Besides I make much more $$$ with CB than with CJ, you just have to know how to market those "Ugly" Products. Peace!
My doubt : If you can market those "Ugly" Products in CB, then why can't you market those "decent" products in CJ? And I really doubt if these kinds of sales pages are those which convert more than ordinary or attractive landing page?
People are here to make money, not make pretty graphics and sites like that. Seriously, this is business. If you don't want to make money, go masturbate.
Try going to an electronics store and wait for a salesman. Notice how much he talks. That's the point of sales letters. You can't have a salesman talking on a webpage, so you have a sales letter. The length of the sales page is not important. The copy is important. Some products have a mile-long sales letter which converts once a month. Others have a short copy that sells a thousand copies per day. As others said, it's business, not a foundation to help people read. If you want to read less, buy children's books. nadavs
Look at centemax and e4e , they don't have long sales pages, but they convert great , so you can find good products without a long sales page, and promote them
You obviously haven't seen those annoying talking women that just keep talking haha I hate websites that have that.
You obviously don't know nothing about CB, hey man, simply because CB products are D.I.G.I.T.A.L, they sell much better in some cases, it's easier, no S&H fees.
Seriously, is this business? I think you don't know what the hell are you talking about. I don't care what the seller thinks, I'm talking from buyer's point of view not the seller's. If you want to sell shit, please go ahead and copy yet another sales letter, pop in a crazy spam product and I wish you all the best but I won't buy anything from people who try to sell like that. You have to convince me, not turn me away. Personally, sales letters associate me with SPAM and when I see one I'm 99% sure it's just another out-of-the-box crap product and an idiot behind it trying to make a quick buck so I try to avoid them. Take a look at these: http://www.conversational-hypnosis.com http://www.rocketpiano.com http://www.getgoogleadsfree.com I can't believe anyone would purchase anything from those pages and Clickbank is 99% like that. And now take a look at these: http://www.reversephonedetective.com http://www.allpspgames.com http://www.errordoctor.com They are all Clickbank merchants, can you spot the difference? It's not what you sell but how you sell it and taking the approach shown in the first three examples will get you laughed at. Don't treat your customers like they're stupid, keep it short and sexy because first impression is what counts and looking at sales letters over and over again make you feel trapped inside a SPAM circle. And your comment above just shows how limited your mind is and I really feel sorry for people who embarrass themselves with promoting products such as in example above.
Wow......someone needs to Calm Down... Most of the products that break $50k a month have a nice Sales Copy..... Hey, if it pays your Vacation.... then I would do it
I'm not a fanatic, I'm just being honest about what I think about sales letters. If you want to do it, please be my guest but why be average and make less if you can do it with a style and make more? It's the art of selling.
I agree I don't like long sales letters, those websites with a woman talking also suck, it make me nervous, it would be fine if someone had to press play for the thing to start....its like forcing people to listen, I read an article about it, this is one thing you cant have on your landing page. But there is one product there, is watch tv on your pc, there is a blondie girl very cute and she is wearing a very very short white mini skirt lol, nice hehe
Well, I don't think I've had enough experience yet to say for sure but...my own personal opinion is the shorter the better. When I come across a long sales page I just scroll all the way down to the price first. I've noticed too that the longer the page, the more expensive it is. I'm sure they work or they wouldn't have so many but I prefer short and to the point. If it's interesting enough for me and I see a need or value, price is secondary.
What you seem to be missing is that you're wrong. Your opinion doesn't qualify as fact. Just because you don't like sales pages doesn't mean the entire world does too. These sales pages have been proven to sell on a statistical basis, a psychological basis and an actual basis. Here's the deal, you may not like sales pages. You might know someone that doesn't like them. But for everyone of YOU that don't like them, there are 99 other people that get frisky for them. The thing about it is the facts are against you. Do you have anything besides conjecture to base your argument? All you've done is come into the clickbank forum, to piss and moan about it. You'd think if you knew so much you'd have something better to do with your time. I know you'll just have to "defend yourself". You came to this forum, just for a fight. Go away, come back when you have something to add besides bitchin'.
It's been a while since we had one of these idiots pop in to say hello and share their feelings, always a good read.
@brokerdedi - I don't give a rats ass if your too noob to ignore the facts. Don't promote CB products, thats just more sales for me.
