Hi, I have experience with setting up all of my own stuff... from wordpress blogs to joomla 1.5 to shopping carts etc... to editing CSS and php... But I got no idea how to setup a sales page LOL! Anyone care to give me some guides ? I was thinking to use frontpage as a WYSIWYG tool then put up a simple HTML page, so it may be static. Or could I use wordpress or joomla ? Because it includes tha paypal widget and some other elements like email opt in etc... Please give me some tips... or some help. I am willing to pay small amounts if you could helped me..
It's best to create one right now, and then ask for critique. I can give you one pointer, though, that will help you sell more: Put your ordering form on the same page. Put it down on the bottom. As they are scrolling down, reading your stuff, boom, there is the order form. Get them at the heat of the moment. I never understood why so many put it on a seperate page.
That's great advice! Make the first version and then ask help with editing it. It will never be perfect but that way you get on right tracks.
Hi, so do you guys mean that I design a static HTML page first? or are there any CMS that can do the job. Anyone tried using wordpress or joomla as a sales page? I've always install stuff using fantistico, so its like my first time on designing a sales page. Then what about the payment ? Assuming I am using Paypal, I'll create a sales page with a paypal payment link ?
I'm afraid I haven't used any of that. I hired a college student to do mine. Like these: TheList.FM. Do whichever route you think is the best one for your particular needs. What are you selling?
I m selling my ebook. On the other thread I ask about selling my ebook on my own music site, with the mental thinking of whether i shld sell for money or for passion. People suggested selling it on Clickbank, so I thot it need a sales page.
They suggested that, huh? Are THEY doing it? As a seller, you have to go to them, not them going to you. Does ClickBank advertise their E-book section? If not, I wouldn't even bother with them. I mean, think about it...how many of the daily visitors go to the e-book section, and from there, how many of them will look at YOUR e-book??? How many go to such a site to look for e-books, period? See what I mean? Remember....YOU have to go to your customers.
I used minisite911.com to generate a template with graphics, ebook covers, and a stylesheet. I also received an order graphic and an opt-in box. I spent $127, and it was well worth it. If your time is best spent as a a marketer, outsource everything that is not a competitive advantage. -e-
HI! all you need is a basic HTML editor, nothing fancy but enough to get the job done... Before putting enormous amount of work on your website, try testing it small, get some results then decide on what you can do to improve it. Damien
Maybe I have too much reliance over CMS like joomla, saw that sales pages template and was lazy to DIY with WYSIWYG. thanks damienb
