My first muse online, feedback?

[frankwlf]

My first muse is online for a week, it still is not very successful. With adwords I get between 10 to 20 clicks a day, not that many but it should be doing something in my opinion. Furthermore, at this moment I am not able to sell recognized brands so I should come up with something else maybe. Does anyone have tips to improve my sell chances?

Well, my first thought is get a better URL. That one looks like the links I get in spam emails. I would never follow a link that looked like that.

So you did not look on my website? If you look on my website then you will see I got a different URL, I did this to prevent any spam at 4HWW and to prevent google pollution. Nevertheless I will place the link in the first post.

The site itself looks okay, although I usually don't see a Calibri-style font on professional websites so you may want to go with something more standard. I am also not a big fan of the picture background - I would suggest something more muted (single colour or basic gradient).

I'm a bit of an audio snob (I like UltimateEars and Shure headphones) so I found myself asking how good to these sound? What makes them better than other $40 headphones (other than the look)?

If you're simply reselling someone else's product you may find it difficult to attract customers since you can only differentiate yourself on one thing - price. If you're into headsets maybe look at creative ways to offer a unique product. What if you could allow people to develop custom skins for the large wrap-around headphones? They upload a design, you have either decals made or find a way to have the design etched into the plastic that go on the headphones themselves or the band. This would allow peple to express themselves with their own unique design when they're walking around.

Just one thought - the general idea is to find a way to make your product stand out from the crowd. Good luck!

Thank you for your comment! However, at the moment I am not able to customize headphones as I am dropshipping right now. But that idea did also come up into my mind! So should I lower the price to be more competitive? Because the sound quality is good, but I cannot assure how they will sound compared to a sony for instance. So do I need to compete on style (and maybe price)? Nevertheless, I will reconsider the thing to work with decals.

You would have to look at what other retailers are selling the exact same phones at see what a competitive price is. If you can't differentiate on product initially, then you need to find something else that will interest the people to visit your site - great content about headphones of all types, a niche music style, whatever. You will probably still have slow sales until you can sell something unique but it's a way to establish some value to your target customer base.

I like the idea, and I am someone who would be in your market.

The grammar on your site is a little off putting. For example:

"A comment send in by an anonymous customer from the USA:" sent?


"Get free stuff in combination with any order!" Stuff seems odd to me, you're offering free accessories, so why not tell me that?

I like the idea, great start!

I really appreciate your input as my native language is Dutch, so English is basically my second language thus not my mother tongue. This will stay a problem I think, however Ill try my best. If there are any other grammer mistakes, I really would like to know that.

Furthermore, is there something else I could do? Or any advertisement tips?

The flow is a little disjointed. You may want to follow a model such as Product name, description, buy now button, sales pitch buy now button, customer benefits, risk reversal statement, buy now button.

Considering this is someone else's product and your need to differentiate yourself, my suggestion is to add a blog to this site and hit twitter/facebook hard to drum up readership and drive quality traffic to your site.

As a side note, make sure you add a social bookmarking/sharing button to your blog and landing page to syndicate yourself to a wider audience.

I think you will be successful, the pie is large enough for everyone to get a slice.

Just change the background. It's very hard to keep your eyes on the website content with a background like that, and you *want* people looking it the content!
