So how do I do it? - Seems to be holding me back (9)

So how do I do it? - Seems to be holding me back

Hi guys,

I needed some guidance with my future in AM [POP Traffic]. I have always developed wordpress money sites and have never had to touch a single piece of code.

Now that I see some amazing landing pages in adplexity, the only thing that limits me from ripping and testing is my knowledge and experience dealing with html, jquery, etc.

Every time I download a nice lander that jumps to me, I load it on my hosting, and something does not work... Either its some script on lander, or just what it's suppose to do, does not work.

Example: Those win iphone landers with the spinner or the google 3 question lander.


What should I do?

Would it be a good decision to outsource all of the lander work to a dev who can make sure its not backdoored, working properly on browers, etc?

What do you guys do?

Do you clean your landers yourself or do your assistants do the work?

I am literally suffering with the ripping part

I would suggest getting yourself some basic knowledge as well as get your hands dirty before outsourcing the coding tasks.

The reasons behind this are pretty simple:
1. You need to know what to ask
2. You need to check the outsourced work quality
3. You need to point the problems in the same language of a programmer for faster fixes.

When I used to outsource landing page coding in the past, I had to ask several times the guy I worked with to revise the finished landers cause they either weren't rendering correctly or some elements of the landers were still referring to their original links (exposing my lander to the guy I ripped from).

Here are a few useful articles and resources that can help you:

It isn't hard to learn, and the time invested is definitely a worthwhile investment

This is spot on.

Aside from that, basic coding is slowly becoming like English - it's more or less necessary if you want to build anything more than the equivalent of a "Mom and Pop shop".

I think it's also important to check if the lander part is a such really critical (and only?) part in your journey to make profits. If you are not sure how to enter the POP-AM business in total I would suggest to focus on another traffic source (where no lander is needed?).

Let's say you learn all the lander stuff in some months and you start copying some landers you see on Adplexity. You sure you know where to get the best traffic for the lowest cost? If no you are still in trouble to get the campaign profitable. Oke, the months of learning are still very useful, but you lost time.

Perhaps outsource just 2 or 3 pages to see and test if you can get the campaign profitable with those pages, so you 100% know learning this stuff will directly result in good pages -> profitable campaigns.

How's that for an awesome and complete answer! Thanks platinum for this and your other valuable recent replies on other threads - the contributions are MUCH appreciated!

@nirvana: When you ARE ready to hire a freelancer to fix up your ripped landers, here's a sample job post you can edit:

https://stmforum.com/forum/showthrea...l=1#post287595

You can hire someone full-time for as low as USD $300-500/month if you only need someone to get the ripped landers working, without adding any ninja tricks or custom-coding.

Best of luck!

Noted. Thank you for all your points. It all makes sense considering my situation.

Something hopefully I do not have to consider. But many thanks for bringing this perspective.

Thanks Amy,

Going to stick to doing most of the work myself for now. I agree with some one the points mentioned. I should be knowing what I am buying.

Cheers
