If the form hits/submissions reports are flawed then so be it, there are other ways of tracking....
Beaner: I know you say you know all about tracking etc, but the real issue here is: are you buying what Sara is selling?
Look man, Sara has an interesting site that converts but I took one look and could think of about fifteen things that would triple her sales overnight. Here are some clues:
Video preview WAYYYYYYYYY too long
Navigation a mess
Too many pages on the Tour.
Not enough "call to action" buttons.
WAYYYYY too much free stuff on the Tour.
Promoting phone calls, selling phone calls.....man, seriously now. LOL
But these things bring in sales, you say. Yes, I know - but I'm guessing Sara's site brings in (max) $100k a year (gross revenue). Tripling Memberships brings you much more than marketing Sara the way you do now (phone calls, etc).
Finally Beaner: do you think having Sara come on GFY is helping sell more Memberships?
Okay I'm done trying to help. I like Beaner and admire him for trying to work with/around Sara Swirls. But one thing is absolutely clear about Sara:
She does not present herself in a good business light.
There, comments from an asshat.  |
with respect to the more constructive ass hat since you cared enough to offer a constructive critique...the moment I contacted you off the board and asked if you form submissions were doing certain things and you responded like a fucking prick and said "have your manager Beaner contact me if you wish to discuss anything about join forms...I said to myself he is surely an ass hat and fuck him and his fucking peabody.
Who on this mother fucker presents themselves in a good business light?
Is it michael o of zombaio with recurring empty promises and late delayed payout issues?
Is it barefootsies with his stupid romper rooom picture posts that only amuse him
Is it dirty frank who offers nothing productive or constructive but lousy attempts at insults
Is it you peabody who has had your own share of ccbill rant threads?
Is it paxum who...
is it cheesy rat companies that process for stolen and pirated content?
I mean who in the fuck on this board shows themselves in a good business light these days?
Business is war and unfortunately I had to learn the hard way and I guarantee there are ass hats still watching these threads closely that are holding funds of ours from years ago
Thanks for your advice but I reached out to you a few times in sincerity for opinions and questions and you talked down to me like you were some high priest whom I was certainly beneath.
I go about getting answers to my valid questions the way I see fit. If payouts were not late and affecting me in the past I would not post about the shit.
If stats were not fucked and false and inaccurate I would not post about it. So in my mind I have absolutely zero fucks to give about my supposed fellow industry colleagues who think I am not one to do business with.
I am not interested in doing business with any of you...get that straight first. I have customers,fans,supporters who I am interested in doing business with.
The problem is in order to do business with them I have to have middle men in the pot. You know the middle men have inserted themselves into this industry that is driven by producers like myself and customers who purchase goods and services.
I scream and shout on the boards when I see smelly funky bull shit and if you had any clue you would realize somebody has to be the pit bull around here when it comes to ass hattery.
but thanks for your critique, which is your opinion. We do not have a n issue with the site converting!
What I do have a problem with is conversions that are 1/180 on sunday...then 1/1000 on monday then 1/1000 on tuesday then on wednesday back to 1/200
Mean while these wild ratio swings are happening and I try to examine and evaluate stats to further scrutinze these ratio swings and my stats are completely useless and not counting clicks or form submissions, or form approvals...and I am supposed to say okie dokie everythings fine...
Wish I were at liberty to share my loyal customer Andrew's story as it would definitively and accurately justify and validate my assertiveness and need to validate and verify every segment of my stats reports
