    Need opinions on a landing page!

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    For me... (sorry it's all quite negative) Too much text. No one is going to read all of that - make it more concise The headline and sub headline feel/sound too stuffy... needs to be more vibrant. Pluck my emotional strings! Picture is pretty dull - there are so many beautiful shots you could...

    Best way to monetize my new video platform website

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    You can already do this with YouTube... Am I missing why would need another website to do this? You just right click and select 'copy video url at current time' and you can send a link to that exact spot in the video... Youtube also encourage you to use annotations with these URL's so you can...

    A fast way to grow social communities

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    For Youtube - this actually got me thinking... What if you added an annotation into your video saying something like Subscribe to our YT channel now and get 10% off your next purchase. If you have an associated website set up, you can link that annotation to a page on your site with the gleam...

    How Are You Building Your Email List? How's it working?

    PUBLISHING 
    It's been a while that i looked at this set up - actually looking at the code it would be very easy to add the form on the first page - but i used unbounce.com pages so i could split test the offer and some other bits and bobs. To change the code so it's not Aweber just replace the <form>...

    How Are You Building Your Email List? How's it working?

    PUBLISHING 
    Sure. The plugin itself lets you select a Wordpress page you created. In that page I posted above they tell you what to put on that page. However below is what i put on my page. What i'm doing here is just putting in an image that shows the offer with a call to action - a button. The call to...

    How I lost 550$ to Google

    HOT! 
    There's a preference in Adwords to manually add funds rather than automate it. However it's tucked away in billing preferences. For anyone else out there - turn this on and there will be no nasty suprises!

    how to increase website traffic?

    MARKETING 
    Paid ads plain and simple. I'm assuming your selling a product in which case you need to tweak out your design/funnel whatever until you are getting a positive ROI on your ad spend. From there just slowly bump the ad spend and tweak. So long as you're making more than you spend on ads keep going...

    Which Home page should I go with

    MARKETING 
    I think you shouldn't decide by the personal preferences of individuals here - have both pages built and split test them. The hard numbers won't lie!

    I shouldn't be telling you this but, i'm going to anyway.

    MARKETING 
    Substantially - 5 to 10 x in some cases more expensive.

    Clicks to conversions are more expensive (from my testing).

    I shouldn't be telling you this but, i'm going to anyway.

    MARKETING 
    Yeah - the secret to FB ads for me was setting up the conversion pixel to display $$ cart conversions in the reporting. Set up ads for 'clicks to website' and point them at various products/pages on your site you want to get traffic to. From there it's tweaking out the ads and landing pages...
