just keep going try target an audience with people 18-35 for better conversions.

Yes, I agree. If you cannot get those people to sign up, then there is no hope for them. Try to refer others and make sure the target audience has a credit card!

try rephrasing your email.

be as polite as possible, but be friendly too. sound less like a business and more like an individual.

I find that works a bit more.

You could always try writing the email as a girl, because a youtube tutorial from imoose says he gets more responses if it's written as a girl.

uk/usa traffic usually converts better than international (uk particularly), if you're able to geo-target.

Maybe you should make the site less like an Ad site but an informative one. You should make your instructions more clear, like step for step, and include photos that inform the readers.

The real one

Here's a copy of a message that I have been sending out. It has warranted a couple of responses since yesterday, sent to around 80 people, which is far far more people than I normally get!

Quote:

Hello,

May I begin by just letting you know that this isn't a spam email - it is sent by a real human!

I just noticed you had signed up to FreebieJeebies.

My website is relatively new, and as such I am looking for testimonials to place on my website.

I would like to offer you £5 cash in return for a very short evaluation of the service - nothing more than two lines long!

I could pay this either by Paypal, or by cheque if you live in the UK.

If you would like to take me up on this, just send me a message back, and I will let you know what you need to do!

Regards

Then the ones who have responded, I have let them know that I looked them up, and they are Not Completed, and ask them if they could just quickly carry out one of the offers on the offers page before they send the testimonial.

People are always going to be thinking - this person is emailing me, they must want something! So basically the above message makes them think that what I want is a testimonial, whereas actually what I am after is simply that they complete an offer. £5 for an extra green is pretty damn cheap anyways! Best of luck - you are entirely welcome to copy the email if you would like to!

Lol! yeah a good tactic. It's wrong but true

I've found that emailing as a girl just makes it look more scammy.

eonbar · 04-02-10, 10:54 PM

gotta say that the emailing as a girl was first picked up from someone else on exceem, therefore can't take the credit. was a tip from a veteran. anyways, it definatly works better. started the facebook method and 5 G/P in a few days, simply cos i have a girls account (as well as my standard) ... wrong, but so so good. lol.
