    Please help I have invested a good deal of time to create a portfolio of "brand name" directories in the area of estate and probate law.

    The response I have gotten has been horrible.

    http://www.estatesettlement.com/grow.php

    Take a look at my offer... is there anything you would change to make my offer more appealing?.

    Does the idea have merit....or did am I just wasting my time and server space?


    You can be as harsh as you want ... Just kindly give me an explanation why it's a dud.

    do you think people would pay $1000 on a single simple page?
    The price does not make sense and it's not a directory as well.

    I think you are being a little too quick with your remarks. It's a 20 web site offer. Attorneys get a first page listing on google. I am first page on over 2,000 keywords.
    type in "Long Island probate attorney"
    my clients are #1 and 2.

    Seems to me that the offer is based on something like this... reals.com/submitsite.htm

    Just a little more fluff to try and justify the high prices. I am not an estate planner and don't know what they make but the prices do seem high.

    If it is going over like a dud there must be something wrong and it could be in several places. Here are a few quick thoughts Thing is though without knowing exactly what your doing and taking a long hard look at it most here including me are just throwing random thoughts out there for you.

    Are your sites quality, well known established sites in the industry which are recognized and utilized by estate planners? If they are all new and unknown you may have a problem with branding.

    How are you marketing to your target market. Something like this would need to be laser focused on potential submitters. Probably needing to be marketed offline as well as online.

    What is the message you are sending your potential clients and how are they interpreting it? I can say that real estate professionals in general are fairly savy when it comes to seo and internet marketing? Is your target niche? If not you may not only have to market to them you will also have to educate them.

    Anyway just food for thought.
