View Full Version : Selling an EBook- GoogleStatistics

Ok so I just developed http://GoogleStatistics.com and decided I'd write an EBook to sell.

The EBook is a how to walk through on my unique, simple, and extremely effective way to create a professional website/blog in less than 1 hour.

I decided to do this when explaining to my friends how I've been making my sites this year, earning money from ads, and getting my sites on the front page on Google Search. Search for Google Statistics, or Google Stats, and you'll see that I know how to do exactly that in a short amount of time. I know what I'm talking about.

After I realized how I can clearly explain my process, and even walked my friends through making their own sites by having them come over, and put em together for them, I thought I could honestly write a book on it. So I did. About 25 pages into it, and I have to add screen shots, so it will probably be about 30 pages. Should be done in 2 days.

My site has been up for about 3 weeks now, and I already get about 45-100 new visits a day. About %90 of my visitors come from organic search results from Google.com "Google Stats" and "Google Statistics" and half of them click at least 3 pageviews each visit.

I've found that my site has appeared on random forums as well, where I get recent traffic from.

I Put my ads on my own site yesterday, and already have had 8 people click on them, leading to my sales page, out of 40 visitors. My sales page just says "coming soon.." So who knows how many would have clicked the BUY NOW button, had I put one up.

Here's my real sales page i plan on putting up this upcoming weekend. I worked on it all day. Please critique it for me. Tell me some PROS and CONS.
Don't hold back, tell me the good and the ugly. Anything to help and improve. (Please don't pay too much attention into spelling errors, but do provide grammar corrections if need be.)

I havn't even put Google AdWords up yet. And I havn't been Twittering it on my account that I have over 2500 followers. I wan't to see how I do with my 40-100 daily visitors before I do that, for kicks and giggles. No rush.

Thanks-

Ok, so I just published my real SALES page to my Ebook 2 hours ago, at midnite and I already have a sale!

http://googlestatistics.com/create-a-website is the revised page

I also Started my AdWords campaign an hour ago, and already have 6 clicks, with one leading to my first sale.

This is a great feeling.

Anyways, hope some of you may be able to offer some feedback on how my sales page looks. Please let me know what you think I should change, if anything?

A few thoughts

- The header area is too big. Although the imagery (notes, iphone, coffee) is nice, it does NOTHING for your site.

- The first image is too big. On my screen, the first page folds in the middle of the image. I would suggest taking the 2nd or 3rd image, scale it down and put down the benefits next to the image.

- There needs to be a call to action above the fold.

- The "buy now" buttons need to be bigger. Rule of thumb: Make the button as big that you start getting uncomfortable with it. Then make it a tad bigger.

Captaink, You rock

I need more people like you to let me know straight up what you think about what I should change with my site.

I'll be working on the 1st image of the girl on the ball. I think it would be perfect to make it off to the left side with text beside it. I noticed that it was getting cut off halfway at the fold on several other computers recently as well. Good idea.

The BUY NOW button is at its original standard size, but I too was thinking it may need to be more noticable.


What do you mean when you say I need a call of action above the fold? I'm not familiar with that wording. Do you mean I should put another BUY NOW button up there?


UPDATE ON PROGRESS:

Today I made 2 more sales. This is out of 115 new visitors. Seems that I'm getting roughly 1 purchase for every 50 visitors. Hopefully I wake up tomorrow to more ;)

I can still use more critique guys, keep it comin!

A "call to action" is exactly that.

- "BUY NOW"
- "ORDER HERE"
- "GET YOUR COPY TODAY"
