How To Increase Subscriptions To Long Term Profits

Posted by Anonymous on 6/24/2010 at 1:12 PM ET 250 Points
I have a website that receives quite a bit of traffic. However, most of the visitors do not optin. Should I change the design, get another webhosting company, or revamp the total site

    Change or revamp the design.

    To start with, I went to the page and I was not clear as you what service you were offering nor what the benefit would be for me. But the box that asks me to "join today..." and fill in info seems to supersede the rest of the page, so I can't click on the About Us link or any of the others. Without being able to find out what you are offering, what's in it for me, and what it will cost me, there is no way I would sign up.

    The optin form doesn't look like one, nor would my eye expect it to be the upper left corner of your home page (I've been accustomed to seeing them in the lower right).

    The menus don't appear to work, which would make a casual visitor leave quickly once they couldn't figure out what your website could do for them.

    As the aim of the site is purely to get people to opt in whilst promoting other ventures which follow the same format, I really wonder why you are getting visitors to your site unless they want to opt in!

    That leaves me wondering what message or key word or marketing tactic you use such that they arrive at your site by the bus load, presumably expecting something special, don’t find it and are not even prepared to sell their soul to find out more.

    It strikes me that the problem lies before they get to your site or you are just attracting people who are too intelligent to fall for this rubbish!

    Aniketnik - that still doesn't address why on earth anyone would want to sign-up for a plate of pyramidal promises when to arrive at the rite they must have known that it espoused this tosh. Your analysis would be valid had he a real product - he doesn't it is a web phantasm designed to take money of the good but gullible and hand it to thos who prey on people's dreams. So sad

    Dear Karen

    I love your enthusiasm for marking and sharing your knowledge in it, but from first and second glances at his enterprise, he appears to be selling financial dreams on a plate (Or as they like to say, from your kitchen table for a few hours a week)

    The mathematical stats are awful. This kind of crap loses money for about 92% of participants (See their T’s & C’s if you do not believe me) and to really make the money advertised in his headlines, you will either be one of the 0.04% of participants who make it or you will start your own scheme.

    Loads of Love

    Steve
    PS is that what LOL on networking sites means??!!
