Me, Carl Ocab and Direct Response Templates

by Yan

This is a sponsored review of Direct Response Templates by Carl “Kidblogger” Ocab that is based fully on my own opinion and is not biased in any way by my relationship with Carl.

If you are an affiliate marketer, the key to your affiliate success lies in the quality of your affiliate landing page. It’s your last shot to convince your prospects to push the “buy” button and convert them into satisfied buyers.

What is a landing page?

It’s a specialized page focussed on a particular product or service you are promoting with the aim of getting the directed visitors to buy or take some form of action that will eventually lead to a sale.

Logically speaking, a good landing page is one that have a good conversion rate (more sales) and high returns (more revenue) in the eye of affiliate marketer. In short, bad landing page equates to less sales.

What makes a good landing page?

Though I don’t call myself an affiliate marketer, keep in mind that I’m an affiliate consumer too, from a consumer’s perspective, here are some of the fundamental factors that constitute a good landing page:

  1. A well-designed logo
  2. Use of eye-catching headline with good typography
  3. Creative use of images
  4. Persuasive message
  5. Clear instructions
  6. Strategic placement of call to action

Creating a landing page is the easy part but crafting one that is attention-grabbing, ultra professional, incredibly attractive takes a great deal of creativity, efforts and investment.

Now if all these got you worked up into a sweat, what if I tell you about this awesome product that takes the dirty work out of creating superb affiliate landing page and shave some time off your learning curve.

Here comes DRT – Direct Response Templates…

Direct Response Templates is the brainchild of Carl Ocab, a 15-year old kid from the beautiful archipelago Philippines who is number one in Google for the most competitive keyword “Make Money Online”.

When I was asked to make a review of Direct Response Template, I asked Carl how did he come out with the idea and here’s what he had to say

Tons of marketers have great product with great service but one thing they lack at is the way their product is presented and that’s where DRT comes in.

Direct Response Templates comes in a complete package of high quality mini landing pages with various choices of template designs that may well suit any marketer. To be honest, I think this is the first time you’ll see something this simple yet incredibly attractive and this eye-catching when it comes to landing page design.

All you need to do is insert your own logo, edit your marketing message and you’re ready to go!

Unlike any other templates, Direct Response Templates comes with a set of eye-catching text images aptly called SalesStickies. It’s a proven method of grabbing your visitor’s attention and is guaranteed to boost your conversion rate.

Studies recently carried out in eye tracking indicate that a visitors eye is usually first drawn to images on the page. Well, they don’t lie when they say, “Pictures speak a thousand words”.

More often than not, these SalesStickes are one of those things that set apart a normal looking squeeze page from the ultra professional one. All you need to do is to stick 3 or 4 of these images into your sales letter or squeeze pages and watch your conversions explode.

Let’s see it in action and you’d be the judge… in fact this is what caught my attention

Whether you have a product to sell or contemplating to create an affiliate squeeze page, DRT works right out of the box to help you create your next killer landing page that would have otherwise cost you hundred of dollars in graphic design.

Remember, your landing page is your visitors’ last stop in making an outright purchase, you need to ensure that your marketing copy and design has to fire up their interest as well as build confidence and trust in your product/services and that’s where DRT play its role.

Now if you order the “Direct Response Templates” today, you will get 52 of those salestickies, together with tons of other templates, graphics, call-to-action buttons, PLR (private label rights) minisites and all for the price of $37.

If that’s not enough, Carl has just shared with me his secret of getting into the #1 in Google consistently and guess what? It’s as easy as pie if you have the right tool that let design overtakes content. Here’s a snapshot of what makes him successful.

What’s next, Carl?

Nice article, Yan! Carl Ocab is a very good blogger, I’m amazed on how successful he is at only 15 years old! I can’t imagine how rich he’ll be in 5 or ten years!

I don’t have a strong imagination but I’m pretty sure he’ll join the 1% top earnings blogger in less than 5 years, if he hasn’t joined the rank yet.

You’ll surprised more by his humility once you get to know him.

I don’t have the opportunity to create one for myself yet but if I do, DRT would be my first choice. I just love the salesstickies…it gives an otherwise boring sales letter page a “WOW” factor.

Hi Yan,

Carl is pretty cool. I really like the red letter font. It is a font right?

Cheers,

Hey Jeremy Boy

No, it’s not a font. It’s called Salesstickies which are included in the package. Cool, huh?

What a concept – evaluating a landing page from a consumer’s “real” perspective. Can’t wait to see more of what’s included in Carl’s package – and some better landing pages. Thanks – great review.

This is really a great offer, an invaluable product (who the heck wants to create those pages, they are not fun) and the price is very low.

Great review Yan, as always. Have you ever thought of launching your own product, the how-to’s, step-by-step of Writing Reviews on Blogs? Would be a good one.

Thanks,
JR

It never occur to me to do so at this point of time as there are just too many things on hand and too little time, as always.

Thanks for the kind words. Yet another food for thought.

Hi Yan,
I love the templates and really at a loss of words to describe this young man. Hey I’m seeing younger bloggers these days. A couple of days back I was approached and sponsored a contest prize for a 14-year old boy that goes by the name of ‘Tushar’. Ahrrr! I’m feeling real old now.
