Make your products more desirable?
What are you selling mainly?

kaz · Nov 26th, 2007, 17:14

They're mostly Affiliate services and Internet Marketing software

Maybe your design is off putting?
Or people are just generally not interested in your products?
Could you please link us to your page so that I can see what's going on.

Have u ever dreamt of a situation where, instead of you manually following up on your customers thriugh email, a device automatically does that for you while you're sleep or on vacation?

So, there u have it. You can promote Getresponse through your website, newsletter, news forum, e.tc. If you're using your website, or newsletter, just copy and paste the HTML code. so Sign up Now

Two paragraphs that you wrote have about 4 typos and about 3 grammatical errors.

I'm afraid people will not take you seriously or respect your website with those types of errors. Professionalism is utmost importance in order to build trust. I'm not sure of your age, but by the looks of the wording above, you look like a kid. I wouldn't give my money to a kid.

Also in the ratio of visitors to sales is extremely wide. It takes so many visitors to create a sale.

Try email marketing. Send direct mails to Internet Marketing software companies.

That was an oversight and I dont think you need to be insulting as well.

First of all, the whole thing looks very un-professional from the get go so I'm not surprised that you are not making money out of this.

1- Get yourself a proper domain name ... don't piggy back on bloggers site.

2- Get yourself a better site. A default template from blogger is not very professional.

3- Fix the spelling and grammatical errors ...

My apologies to you if you were insulted. You asked why your products weren't selling. Sorry if the answer came off a bit harsh. That was not my intention. Posting doesn't give the tone of voice and I didn't intend that to sound mean.

Linda is one of the nicest people here! I don't think she meant to hurt your feelings.
Seriously though, I would never buy anything from a site that's content is in phonetics.
This doesn't mean you have to sound very formal, but at least try to as people will have more confidence in you!

Please explain. It's not very clear.

If the content reads as though it were written by a moron, then users will not trust you enough to buy from your site.

Note my use of the subjunctive "were written". This is a counterfactual statement: you're not actually a moron, but your users don't know that.

Good writing can engender trust; bad writing does the opposite.
