    Hello all,

    I need some feedback on my 2 landing pages:

    http://www.accendotraders.com/landing/video.html AND
    http://www.accendotraders.com/landing/stocktradesecrets/

    I've been working on getting followers. Right now I have about 100 per video YouTube followers and 250-300 weekly podcast downloads. This doesnt include weekly views of my videos on other sites and on my blog @ http://blog.accendotraders.com

    My point - no one is buying :)

    I've tried the purchase traffic thing - NADA (I knew that was a longshot)

    You'll see one page has a professional look while the other has the traditional hype format.

    Any comments/reviews would be greatly appreciated.

    I REALLY like the first one. It looks very professional! I'd be more inclined to purchase something from a professional-looking site than a traditional advert-styled site. I'd work on getting more traffic to your site and perhaps lowering the price? $97 is a bit steep.

    Looks professional, good product, YES marketing is very hard. You have to understand how to do it, which I myself have not figured out, but when I do I will be golden.

    Good luck and I hope you succeed.

    Hi,

    Both sites look good to me, nice color schemes and layout. I didn't understand the logic behind making the platinum membership the cheapest and bronze the most expensive as it's usually th other way round. Or did I miss something?

    Good luck

    Mike

    Hi teamplayer,

    I think the sites look great. Both have great graphics and they are exactly as you described. The niche you have chosen is a very competitive one with very savy customers. You obvoiusly can put together a good site, perhaps you should look into other related niches, but dont give up on your current sites.

    Good Luck.

    Thanks guys for the feedback. Sometimes I've seen Platinum as above Gold and sometimes I've seen it the other way. I'll have to check to see if there is a way it's supposed to be.

    Yes, investing is competitive, but I've seen sites that offer way less that what I do get business. I guess I need to learn more conversion techniques. I have traffic - yes I need more - but I am not converting.

    Thanks again

    The first design has a nice professional touch to it.

    At first glance I do not know what the site is about until I go further down.

    The first 2 headlines: Effective Video Trade Plans Delivered Daily!!! and Technical Analysis Made Simple with
    Proven Trade Plans! does not tell what your site or product is about.

    The headline further down: Our Focus is Improved Trading by Maximizing Profits
    and Controlling Losses is what should be up there.

    Something like: Maximize Your Trading Profits!
    Then its clear to a lot of people, especially if you are also targeting new or wanna bes.

    Just my 2 cents.

    The call to action is almost hidden on the first page. You have the Learn More buttons next to the videos, but those don't tell the user that that's the link to click on if they want to move ahead with the purchase. The Buy Now button is in the absolute last spot a person will look. My advice for that page would be to put the info on the different memberships directly on the landing page, and make it the first thing you see. Put the videos below that.

    On the second one, there's just way too much data being thrown at the user. Again, make the call to action the first thing the user sees (right now, the user has to scroll down, and it's easy to miss), and try to break the content up into multiple pages.

    The first is much more professional looking, something with the top having three defined shades of blue does not sit right with me. I do not like the second design, it looks to "risky".

    First one looks good, pro and seems to be a trust able site. While second one is too bold. The overall layout doesn't look convincing.

    I'm sorry, I completely disagree with everyone that's posted here. Your site doesn't look professional--it looks completely generic. I would never buy from your site, because there's no personality to it. I am not going to take stock advice from a blue and green figured man with a tie or a woman who looks like she's the hostess of a restaurant.

    Although many people may argue this, there's a reason why 'typical' sales pages sell. If you haven't given something like that a try, I would immediately sign up for John Carlton's Strategy Tutorials. They're free.

    Now, here's the thing, don't just read them for the valuable content they provide, analyze them with the idea in mind that he's turning his tricks trying to get you to buy from him. If you do this, you'll learn 10x more. Let me explain...

    Yes, the content John is sharing is awesome. He'll teach you how to write a damn good ad in less than 9 minutes--which is way worth the read. But I'll tell you what, at the end of that 9 minute session, I shook my fist at John and said damn you John Carlton---and I bought his Rebel Marketing Book.

    Why did I do that?

    Because when you get down to it, he is a master copywriter and you could learn a lot from him. He schooled me on how to write a damn good ad in 9 minutes, and he delivered. I had a damn good ad. And after feeling like I understood so much of what he was saying, he finished with the reason why what he had just shown me wasn't enough. And I bought it. And you have to do something similar with your product.

    Now, in his free tutorials, John's going to take you through a ton of good info. And the primary thing I see wrong with your pages is one of the same things John's going to talk to you about.

    Does your website scratch the itch of your prospects most burning question?

    I'm going to shoot straight with you here. I felt no compulsion to buy your product. I felt no compulsion to even investigate the site further. I'm busy...like your customers. I have other things to do...like your customers. And you didn't hook me right from the very beginning with a decent reason as to why you had anything worth listening to or investigating further. This is called a hook, and you need one. And your hook should speak to my most burning question or desire in relation to your product.

    The other thing I see immediately is the testimonials are weak. I don't want to hear that people feel it was the best $47 they spent. I want to hear, "I made $7000 with one trade using the Stock Trade Secrets in this book". Now please, don't fake testimonials. If you're serious about this, you need to have some real results to show me before I'll even think about buying. Pictures of these people, a video, or copies of their earnings statements would go a long way in further convincing me.

    Anyway, I'm not trying to be cruel, I just don't want to be a yes man, and if you're serious about your business, then you don't want a bunch of yes men either. These are just a few ideas, and I hope they're helpful.

    Best of luck!

    I thought we were reviewing the look of the site, not the sales pitch but magicinthedesert made a good point up there. I haven't read your sales pitch but it looks like he knows his shit
