Default Video Realted Copy Critique if possible - 12-31-2007, 11:35 AM

Hi

I have been lurking around these forums for several months now, I see lots of great advice given and If possible I'd like a piece of that pie

Please can I have your feedback on the newly designed sales page

This was the original

http://www.skinmyvideo.com

I didnt get too good a conversion so I redesigned a little. Think it is better aimed at the target market now

Skin My Video

Look forward to your comments

Darren

Ok Daren here I go.

I liked it. The headline is a bit long but I still read it. In fact since I am just getting into doing videos I read all the way until the second testimonial and then I started skimming. Why did I start skimming? Because I was already sold!

The rest of the copy was just skimmed over as I searched for the price. But right now I am making money but a little tight on cash. I know I could do this myself but I am also lazy. Maybe I will come back and get it later.

But wait. You never had me opt in for a free sample image to try. The odds are I just may forget about it and never come back. Who knows.


That was just my reading experience. It is nice to have a product that I am interested in and hopefully could give you some insight on what your prospects may be thinking. Sorry I was not a harder sale and you didn't have to get me to read the whole copy.

Now back to that headline. I cringed at the site of Gurus. If you where to keep this headline I would reword it a little like this.

Are You Sick And Tired Of Seeing The Same Old Boring YouTube Videos Every Time You Visit A Website?

Now Imagine Making Your Site Standing Out From The Rest And Putting A Truckload More Cash In Your Bank Account In The Process When You Use The Same Secret Graphics Dude "DROP GURU NAMES HERE" Use...

BTW I did not see a single sales video on your page. Make yourself an emotion building video and toss it on there with one of your images. Show them how it grabs attention.

This is just like when I was selling AdSense Background Images I made but yet did'nt use them on my site. I hate AdSense and it showed by the lack of backing up my product. Just another example of a product made because of current hype.

Hope this helps. If I get back to your page and get your product I will be sure to give you one hell of a killer testimonial.

Thanks Terry,

Have used your comments on the header and will add the optin I did think about it but don't normally like to be so intrusive

I did have a 'silly' video I created on there, but took it off as I thought it hurt conversions and also we decided to change the looks. I uploaded the video to YouTube

YouTube - SkinMyVideo - Zeus The Crazy Pimp

Was a boozy day filming....lol

Check your PM

Thanks, any more comments would be appreciated

Darren

Got your message. Thanks.

As for the headline. It does look better but it would make a world of difference if you started dropping names. Even if they are not Mike F, J Mo, Frank Kern, Charles Brunson or whatever his name is and his friend that I think his name starts with a J.

See how I don't even know how to spell much less pronounce these peoples names? That is because people are starting to disreguard those that mark them selfs as gurus (at least in the IM niche) the word is so over used.

But you know what I that once you throw those names out there I am sure that I will remember who they are. Hell if you have pictures with these people throw them out there to. The people who follow the so called guru's will now want to follow you. You can be the next big thing. If you don't have any pictures with big players then try going to a seminar.

Here is a few more things to look at. This is what I would do if it was my YouTube video.
Change the headline, content, and tags. People are not going to look for you since this is something new.

Funny! Crazy Pimp Shows How To Get More Hits On Your Videos

This title uses funny, crazy, how to, and videos. These are pretty popular words that are searched for.

As for the description. Fill it up with how this product will help them get more views and how they will be more popular, successful, ect... Fill it with your benefits and put them in the mood. Don't mention the price though. Just the meat and potatoes.

As for your tags I would use words like (video, funny, how, to, how-to, pimp, crazy, silly, more, views, popular, ect...) It is fine to use every word you possibly can as long as it relates to your video in some way.

Best of luck and looking forward to promoting your product.

Wow!

That should defiantly be something to test, can I ask how you did that?

Thanks

It is just a gif image that fades out from one picture and into another. Not to hard to do with Photoshop and imageready.
