Can anyone recommend me to a site of company that can create a landing page for me for a reasonable price?

I'm running a couple of aff campaign and I receive clicks but once they come to my LP, nothing converts!...

I know I suck at designing LP, try to copy my competition but i just can't understand all the html and php shit!....so I'll just pay someone to build me one....any recommendation would be nice.

Damn. That has got to be the best question ever asked on this board ever. I'd love to find a design form that focuses on landing pages for affiliates.

He designer brains -- there is HUGE opportunity here. Setup a package - 5 pages for $100 or so. Put an ad in the WF buy/sell/trade forum and BAM - you're rollin!

For the rest of you, please put down your recommendations. Like greenvy, I'm sick of my trashy ass sites and would love a pro to work on them. I'd like 2 or 3 companies or designers to rotate through too. Any suggestions?
 
Having worked as both a non-technical and a tech writer for many years, I have considered selling such a service but I simply don't have enough time right now to pull it off. Too busy setting up my own affiliate and arbi sites combined with 2 other jobs at the time being.
 
Writers, at least traditionally, charge by word or by the hour. I think however, that if someone or myself was to charge for landing pages it would be per page like roadies suggested. Just because in this business more text isn't always better.

Another idea would be to revenue-share the whole thing.
For example;
- the publisher pays an upfront fee of like $20/page or whatever for the writer to initially create the page. Sort of like a setup fee that also acts as a cover if the page never is used or converts.
- the writer then gets a small comission from the revenue that landing page brings in, say 5% or 10% of the total revenue.

This would:
A) Encourage the writer to do a really good job with the sales copy, as it also benefits him/her
B) Provide a cheap and easy way for publishers to have many good quality landing pages written without spending time on it themselves.

Without this model, it would suck to pay too much for sales copy that you have no guarantee of will work (especially if the writer isn't given a performance incentive - he won't care if the page converts once he's delivered it).

Just a thought. :)

Look at the top converting affiliates in your niche.
Study their landing pages.

Copy/Adapt to your needs.

Don't copy a successful campaign?
Reinvent the wheel? Spend countless hours developing a landing page from scratch?
How quaint.

You only need to use the bits you understand.
Save the page source and hack out what you don't understand.

If you want to do affiliate marketing or anything online for that matter on long term basis, you should be willing to invest some time into understanding the rudimentary workings of html/php.

You don't necessarily need to understand it all, but at least figure out how it works.

Else even if you want to sub it out to a freelance programmer, you need to give them the specs to implement.
 
The only problem with hiring someone to make a landing page is that they really need to understand their affiliate marketing, especially if they're writing the presell copy for you too. You'd really want an affiliate marketing expert to do it, someone who knows what elements work, what doesn't, what drives customers away, etc. It's very different than designing a normal web site. But Anyone who's already good at affiliate marketing is probably already making a lot more money doing it for themselves than making landing pages for someone else, not to mention ones that could be competing with their own campaigns.

"Quaint?"???

I'm not saying that you should reinvent the wheel at all. What I am saying is that you shouldn't copy your competitors. And I would never advocate anything like "Save the page source and hack out what you don't understand."

As someone who has had countless sites ripped off I would really advise against this, unless of course you want a legal battle.

To be successful in affiliate marketing, especially a crowded niche then you need to stand out and be original. Don't scrape or copy sites whatever you do. Yes, learn from your competitors but don't copy them. Anyone can be a leech, its not difficult :eek:
 
i just had some guy i found on getafreelancer.com make up a few pages for me. $200 for 3 pages and they were done really well and really fast

Kieron is a baller... When you are you can call him quaint, but not now weeeeeeeeee!
 
There are a few different elements to making a great landing page.

At first I thought you were strictly looking for some high quality writing but then noticed your post regarding php. Are you looking for someone who is an expert at writing sales copy or someone who is a good programmer? I doubt there are many freelancers out there who are great at both. (or they would probably be rich :) )

If you are original you will have more success than your competitors if you blend in you will probably still make money but why not make more by being original!

no.

because technical aspects do imho not matter at all in order to be successfull at marketing. you could as well demand that anyone should know a bit about python to be able to do business online. or perl. or why not c++. or c, so we can modify the kernel itself.

dealing with technical aspects of your online presence only sucks up time that you should better spend on polishing your marketing concept. there are thousands of people out there who will be better at html and php than i will ever be, so there is no reason for me to even discuss with them the use of a certain programming language for solving a certain problem, as i will always leave the choice to the programmer. i want a solution to my problems, not a technical blueprint outlining the problem.

anything that i am not able to do on a world-class level gets outsourced or offshored. to people who can do it on world-class level :D
 
hey wee man, um you make $80 on a good day, Kieron makes that in a bad 15 minutes maybe even less!
here is a quaint idea for you andrew - shut the fuck up you ebook selling cock sucker!
