I been lurking around a lot of affiliate forums lately especially this one and I finally decided to dive into affiliate marketing here's my first affiliate site http://www.top-recipe-secrets.com looking for any input that you can give me on how to improve the site positive or negative
Almost no text - means no SEO, no traffic, no sales. And plain white background with gray text isn't something that will make people buy your products. Try to copy design ideas from some of the top selling CB products. Longer sales page will have more keywords, so it will bring more organic traffic.
1. Never post your landing pages on forums unless you're A.) selling them or B.) the owner of the product 2. Would you buy anything coming from that site, let alone read it? 3. If you're going to half-ass something, why bother doing it? Either pay someone to do it right or copy someone who's already successful. If weebly doesn't cut it, cut weebly. 4. The best sites funnel users. That means you grab their attention up front and THEN once they're interested, you punch them with information right in the face. 5. Sure, people are going to give you info but there are places where you can get the cliff's notes for free (the same information, except condensed and b.s. free). Incidentally, you've got the right idea with the e-mail collector at the bottom; you might want to think about moving that toward the top/middle area where people will see it. Good luck.
Try to make some kind of template for your site. Looks a bit cheap. People want to see that you are making money and that you are sharing something that's profitable.
Know that the recipe niche is a difficult one. Your landing page must be a+ for a possibility to sell something. This is obvious since the internet is full of FREE recipe, there are millions of them for free so why someone would buy such a book if its not really unique and great?
The very first CB landing page that I ever designed was influenced heavily by another persons. I looked at the layout, the colors, the type of images they used, and their presell style. I suggest you search around for other landing pages a bit and look at them. Get the idea of every aspect of their landing pages and then apply it to their own. I think if you use the search feature there was a 'share your landing pages' type of thread about a year ago, this may give you some inspiration.
I recommend you look at other sites in people's signatures, in ezinearticles.com. Imitate those sites. Why reinvent the wheel?
Awwwww some post were a bit harsh. Now the page has been removed so I havnt seen it but any first attempt is a good first attempt as you can aways learn from it. Dont be discouraged! keep at . I would follow everyones advice and perhaps try to "base your lading page on exsisting successful pages".
More honest than harsh. It's like, would you rather make money with blunt honesty or lose money with padded hints?
You need to write information on the product such as the product detail, testimony, benefits, and some articles. Otherwise, customers do not trust what you are selling for. Just let you know.
Here are some tips: 1. Don't use weebly. 2. If you don't know how to code or design, use some open source css templates. A quick search in google will show a lot of resources. 3. Don't let people discourage you. The affiliate game is a competitive one and not everybody is going extend a warm, welcoming hand.
