Listener Questions

Talia Pollock

  • Party in my Plants. Such a fun site.
  • Her audience struggles with engagement. “How do I have an online business when all the audience wants to do is consume privately?”

Paul Ricken

  • PaulRicken.nl is Paul’s Site. Paul’s song and energy in his question are amazing!
  • “How can I build an intimate relationship with my subscribers if they’re not signing up?”

Brian Wampler

Sioux

  • She’s a film maker making some specific films for specific markets, currently writing some website copy.
  • “I don’t feel comfortable with hard-sell copy. Can you suggest some effective websites that don’t use hard-sell tactics?”
  • Resources:
    • I recommend looking at the sales pages of people who use VHX. You can find a ton of examples on their blog.
    • Some of these examples are remarkably sparse, like this one. Others have a lot going on like this one from Indie Game the Movie.
    • This American Life Live seems to hit a middle road.
    • Sandwich Video is a great place to watch as well. What objections are they overcoming? What words?
    • Gumroad Picks: Films. Gumroad has a bunch of examples to explore as well.
