Tips for the Stupid Guy

[Undisclosed]

Hey, all.


Im have been in the biz for a few months now. I call my self stupid guy because as of yet i haven't been able to obtain one legit sale on any drug from my site. I have a google PR of 3 and average 15 visitors a day to my site (400 month or so). I have relatively low prices, but im not a low baller by any standard. If you think my prices are too low, i will up them a bit.


Anyways, I think my site looks professional, but it could be better. I would appreciate any comments or ideas regarding my site. Im not looking for all the answers or secrets, just some plain old advice. I know it isn't kosher to post your website on this forum, but my site sales sucks so far and it can't hurt.

Hey, all.


. I have relatively low prices, but im not a low baller by any standard. If you think my prices are too low, i will up them a bit.


Your prices are across the board lower than my sites. When I started I had REALLY low prices across the board trying to get some sales. But you know I never made one single sale with low prices.

So what I did was analysed the prices of a couple big name sites. I used three sites and set my prices to around the lower end of the three of them.

Within a day of upping my prices the sales started coming in.

My take on it is a credibility issue. There is an old saying ... "If something is too good to be try, it probably is". This applies to great prices on the web. People are wary of them.

The reality is you DO NOT NEED to have low prices to make sales. Look at the guys over at E-Scripts-MD or of the other big boys. Their prices are through the roof. But they sell more than you or I probably will in a life time.

My advice is put your prices up to "a little" below top dollar. It will work for you in the following ways.

1) When you finally make a sale you will at least earn a decent commission.

2) If you are making $30 per script to need to sell TWICE as many scripts as you do making $60 a script. Who want to have to work TWICE has hard to get paid the same?

3) Your site will have more integrity to users because you charge them more. Rip off and Scam operators have LOW LOW prices to try and entice suckers. Full price sites have implied value and reliability included with their price. With so many options available for shoppers one of their primary motivational factors for purchase with you is, will these guys deliver what they say they will. The lower the price the more doubt in the shoppers mind you will come through with the goods.

[redex]

I went to your site and had to go to page three to find something to buy. Get your buy button in the visitors face. Offer the visitor something to buy on the landing page above the fold. Even if it is not the med they want, at least they know right up front, you are selling prescriptions. Surfers hate to read, and many visiting your home page will not read your blurbs or scroll down to the bottom where you have the three buy banners for anti depressants. Replace those low volume sellers with some popular meds like phent, adipex, ambien Just list the med, they price and the buy button. Most people buying meds online know what they want and know what it does already.

15 visitors a day is nothing. Read up on SEO and get crackin. Your site isn't going to do well in the search engines. Focus on broad terms to start off such as "buy viagra online", "cheapest viagra online,. etc...

[MedsDirect]

I have to second Redex's advice on this one. From your home page it doesnt look as though you are a retailer. You have information, but no prices. Your second page has more info, but no prices and links to a third page with the text "more info..". That combined with your url really make you look like a research based information site.


Another comment is that your logo font is kind of difficult to make out. Nothing against the design or artistic value, it looks good, it's just hard to make out the text at first.

[MedMan]

Ditti to what everyone else said plus I would like to add that if I were the customer searchingto purchasemedications online I would see the name of your site and not even click on it.Now, if I were just looking for informatin on a particular drug, then I may click on it but I probably wouldn't buy because you do not provide enough information about the medications.


Bottom line:
<UL>
<LI>Get a different site name geared towards SELLING, not information.</LI>
<LI>Change the font in your header to something that is readable.</LI>
<LI>Sell your products on the 1st or 2nd page, do not make the potential customer click more than once to find your buy button.</LI>
<LI>Turn that menu to the right of your home page into a scrolling menu with all of the products listed.</LI>
<LI>Do something with the color scheme. White on white is BORING. One thing you could do that would help would be to change the color of the columns or change the page background color.</LI>
<LI>Get rid of the lady Dr with her bra showing. You may entice a few men to purchase but remember that a large percentage of buyers are older and a large percentage a straight women.</LI>
<LI>Your site looks like a template and people recognize this. Make it more original.</LI>
<LI>Tell people that you a a SELLER, not an information giver. Sell first, then give the information.</LI>[/list]


Now, when make these changes, please send a check or money order to...smileys/smiley2.gif


Hope this helps a little!
