This Nintendo Wii Finder page is actually the page that led me to my discovery of Weebly. I ran across this guy quietly posting in some affiliate marketing forums about how great Weebly is, and also seeking feedback on his Wii page.
I think its a great landing page. The page puts the info most relevant to the intended market front and center - with the eBay and Amazon links to buying the Wii. It emphasizes the scarcity of alternatives with the several sold out links below it. This is a skillful and stealthy call to action that should create a sense of urgency in the buyer motivated to purchase.
One of the things I really like about Weebly is that instead of making a landing page, you can do what the big PPC networks really want you to do which is create a landing site. And you can do it quite rapidly. The developer of Nintendo Wii Finder does this and creates 2 other pages: 1 strictly informational ("Wii Tips and Tricks") as well as a page that targets a narrower group of customers with a higher margin product ("Dance Revolution")
I think that effectively, a project like Wii Finder is a short term product because eventually Wiis are not going to be scarce - but I like short term projects. They are a good way to learn what works and what doesn't. They are also a good way to create effective backlinks to your next project.

Once you've logged in to Weebly, you will see your home page for sitebuilding. Just click on 'Create a Site', and add a title to the supplied pop-up and you are in business. The title really doesn't matter at this point, so if you want to give it a catchy title, go ahead, you can go back and change this. I chose "Articles For Your Blog," because it is a niche that I have some familiarity with, I have bought articles from copywriters, and written original articles for years. It is a product with relatively high demand within a targeted audience (people looking to improve the content of their web site but for whatever reason, don't want to write the articles themselves). Plus, since we are going to monetize this site with relevant links and advertising, it is important to pick a niche with successful affiliate programs to serve that niche. There are a whole lot of partner programs that involve the sale or creation of articles. A lot of bad ones, but also a lot of good ones too. The other thing that is important to me, because I'm using Weebly to build this site is flexible methods of creating links to the affiliate products. The large amount of affiliate programs in this niche, means that there will be some good ways of presenting this content to visitors using Weebly. If Weebly didn't allow you to add custom HTML elements to the pages this would be a much bigger problem. But, they do, so let's go! Above, you can see the default template and layout when you create the site. It's an excellent template for a blog. But the title area doesn't give me enough space for my site's current title. Can we change that? |
