Maybe it's just me, but all I see here is a giant wall of text and no clear idea as to what I'm doing here or what you're trying to sell me on. It's also devoid of pictures, so I can't even pick up on visual cues. You've given me the task of reading paragraphs of text trying to hunt out the information I want.
This website is like the sales guy that talks too much. Unless I've hit upon something I want or there is a clear indication this is leading towards something I want, every word on your page is another chance for someone to stop reading. You need to get to the point and make it clear what it is you're trying to sell.
- nathanbarry 14y agoAgreed that it needs more visuals. I'll work on that.
- ahoyhere 14y agoDone right, long copy sells. Not saying visuals won't help, but long copy does an important job. IF you have the problem in question that the product solves. If you don't, no amount of copy or pictures will sell you.
- wikwocket 14y agoI have heard that long copy is great for getting the sale, while short copy can be great for getting an email signup. I do think the copy here is good - the idea of long copy is that someone with the pain point you are pursuing gets interested and just keeps reading and reading... by the time they get to the call-to-action, they're more likely to be convinced of your offering. Perhaps in this case the higher price, lack of images, and relative ease of assembling such a pipeline for HN regular is turning some people off, but I think it has potential.
