🛠️ Need a Quick Favor — Sales Page Feedback Wanted
Added 2025-06-16 17:00:24 +0000 UTCHey friends — quick ask. I’ve been running some click tests through Meta (Facebook/Instagram ads) to try and find the highest-converting ads for one of my book series. Good news: they are working… kind of.
I’m getting people to the sales page — but not many are actually buying or signing up once they land. And honestly? I’m not sure why.
So here’s where I could really use your help. Since you all know my work and have a sense of what I’m building, I was hoping you might take a look and tell me what’s working… and what’s not.
Here’s the page:
🔗 https://welcome.silverstonebooks.com/ebook_welcome/
If something feels off — whether it’s the tone, layout, offer, copy, or design — I want to know. If you almost bought but didn’t, or if you didn’t immediately understand what the page was offering, that’s super helpful too.
Drop a comment here or message me directly. I really appreciate your time — and you might help me finally crack this puzzle.
Thanks so much 🙏

That makes a lot of sense, which is why I’m trying to figure out exactly how to approach threads of flame and starlight - I plan on turning it into a regular e-book. Maybe I won’t put anything up on the store until I can give it a complete once over.

Also kind of the pricing point. I'm willing to subscribe monthly but $10 for a few chapters of an unfinished book. That is the cost of a regular whole book. Different concepts really. If I buy from the store page I expect access to it as an entire book... Not just a smidgeon of it.

2025-06-16 22:27:27 +0000 UTCI think the main turn off to for me is the amount of reviews splashed onto the page compared to the short and not very descriptive story synopsis. I almost never buy books like that, one, because it sounds like they are trying way too hard, like the synopsis is an afterthought because the actual contents of the book are also an afterthought or lacking somehow and their book is only popular because it’s a social media trend and not because it’s good, and two, because I have hated 99.9 percent of all the books that became a sensation with the masses. Not because I’m trying to be edgy or anything, it just usually turns out that way. Twilight was so bad I ended up hating it with every fiber of my being for many, many reasons. Had to slog through the sixth level grade writing of The Hunger Games and ended up regretting putting in the effort when the ending of the series ruined the entire series for me that I was already barely tolerating. Game of Thrones was just to full of nasty and debaucherous stuff. And even Harry Potter was just kinda meh. I wasn’t terribly impressed. So I’m wary of anything that seems overhyped. I also think a lot of people are hungry for the genuine and the real, and tired of things that sound like advertisements or clickbait. Your Selling it too hard yourself when you should be letting the work, what it’s about, and it’s contents speak for itself more. I would focus less on the podcast thing sounds kind of like clickbait, and more on the synopsis, maybe add a few really good snippets of the book itself to intrigue people and ack like hooks, and maybe even add a little bit about why you aren’t selling your e-book through the major retailers and how exploitative the Amazon e-book contracts are towards both authors and users, because everyone likes an underdog story as well as fighting against greedy corporations. Really, I think, everyone else’s comments about the websites look or usability aside, a slight tonal shift would do even more for the appeal than anything else.
