The sales page.

Every section that has to be there, in order, with what belongs in each one, and the order to write them in, which isn’t the order they appear in.

this page is the product. It’s yours forever, so bookmark it. It doesn’t expire and it won’t move. Questions go to hi@vivianrobelo.com

The nine sections, in order

A sales page is a conversation. You answer objections in the order they occur to the reader, so these nine sit in that order rather than a tidy one. Skip a section and the reader answers it for themselves, and their answer is nearly always worse than yours.

each box below saves as you type, and it stays saved on this device

01

The promise, the mirror, the turn

Sections 1–3 · the whole offer in one line, their situation clearer than they’d say it, and the blame taken off the reader.

1 · The promise

‹The change›, in ‹timeframe›, without ‹the dreaded part›.

This is the whole offer in one line, and if it comes out weak then nothing underneath it can carry the page, so it’s worth spending about a third of your writing time on this one line and leaving the rest until it’s right.

2 · The mirror

You have ‹tried the things›. You are still ‹the stuck state›. Every ‹trigger moment›, you think “‹the 11pm thought›.”

Describe their situation more clearly than they would describe it themselves, in two or three sentences, because the accuracy is what does the persuading here, and melodrama is the thing that tells a reader you’re guessing at a life you haven’t lived.

3 · The turn

The problem is not ‹what they blame themselves for›. It is ‹the real mechanism›, and that is fixable.

This is the sentence that takes the blame off the reader and puts it on something a product can actually fix, so name the real mechanism in plain words and resist explaining it for three paragraphs, because one clean turn does more than a lecture ever will.

02

The offer, the receipts, the price

Sections 4–6 · the countable list, one real quote with a name, and the number in its own short sentence.

4 · The offer, plainly

‹Name› is ‹format: a program / a template / a service› that ‹what it does›. Here is exactly what is inside:

Then the countable list underneath it, so every item is a noun with a number attached wherever you can manage one, because a reader can hold onto a number and can’t do much with an adjective.

5 · The receipts

“‹Real sentence from a real person›”, ‹name› · ‹before/after numbers if you have them›

One real quote with a name beats five anonymous raves, and if you don’t have a quote yet then skip the section entirely rather than inventing one, because an empty space here is honest and a fake one poisons the rest of the page.

6 · The price, no throat-clearing

‹Name› is ‹price›.

Give the number its own paragraph and its own short sentence, with no “investment” standing in for the word price and nothing apologizing in front of it, and if a bit of context helps then it goes after the number [“less than ‹relatable comparison›”] rather than before, because that reads as context and anything earlier reads as an excuse.

03

Not for you if, real questions, the close

Sections 7–9 · the section that builds the most trust, the ones people genuinely ask, and one button that says what happens next.

7 · Who it is NOT for

Not for you if ‹honest exclusion 1›. Not for you if ‹honest exclusion 2›.

This is the section that builds the most trust on the whole page and it’s the one almost everybody leaves off, so give it two exclusions and make them real ones, because an exclusion that’s secretly a compliment does nothing and a reader can feel the difference straight away.

8 · Questions people actually have

Four to six questions, and they have to be the ones people genuinely ask, so how long does it take · what if it doesn’t work for me [your refund line] · do I need ‹prerequisite› · when do I get access. What doesn’t work is the invented question that only exists so you can answer it flatteringly, because a reader spots that one immediately and then stops believing the answers around it.

9 · The close, one button said twice

‹Buy button: what happens next› + one line: “still unsure? ‹email me / the free version is here›.”

The button says what happens after the click rather than “submit”, and the one line under it gives the unsure reader somewhere to go that isn’t away, and that’s the whole close, because by this point the page has either done its work or it hasn’t.

The whole thing, standing up [one complete example]

This is a made-up brand designer called “Fern & Frame” selling a fixed-scope package, and it’s here so you can watch all nine sections carrying their weight together in one page rather than reading about them one at a time. Notice how short the whole thing is, because length was never the part that sells.

1 · Promise: A brand that looks decided, in three weeks, without forty revision rounds.

2 · Mirror: You’ve got the skills and the clients, and a logo you made at midnight in 2022. Every time you send a proposal, you re-export it and wince a little. You keep meaning to fix it after the busy season. It has been the busy season for two years.

3 · Turn: The problem isn’t your taste. It’s that brand decisions have no deadline when you’re the client, so they never end. This package is mostly a deadline with design attached.

4 · The offer: The Decided Brand is a three-week package: week one we choose [palette, type, mark, from options, not infinity], week two I build [logo suite, brand board, templates], week three you get everything plus the rules for using it.
, 1 logo suite [primary, mark, favicon]
, 1 one-page brand board with the 60-30-10 rule filled in
, 6 Canva templates in your new brand

5 · Receipt: “Three weeks and I stopped apologizing for my website.”, Dana, bookkeeper

6 · Price: The Decided Brand is $1,800. Two payments if that’s friendlier.

7 · Not for you if: you want unlimited revisions, the deadline IS the product. Or if you already love your brand; consistency beats novelty, keep it.

8 · Real questions: How much of my time? Two one-hour calls. · What if I hate it? Round one is choices, not reveals, you steer early, which is why round three doesn’t hurt. · Refund? First week, full stop, no reason needed.

9 · Close: [Book the three weeks], still unsure? Email me the 2022 logo and I’ll tell you honestly if it needs this.

Take the shapes rather than the sentences, because yours has to carry your own numbers and your own receipts and the price you flinched at typing, and those are the parts that make a reader believe any of it.

Order to write it in

4 → 6 → 7 → 2 → 3 → 5 → 8 → 1 → 9, so you start with the offer and the price and work outwards from there. The promise gets written LAST, because it’s a summary of everything else on the page and you can’t summarise something you haven’t written yet, which is the same order that works on a homepage and it holds up here for the same reason.

Delete on sight

  • Fake countdown timers, because the person reading has seen ten thousand of them and knows the clock resets the moment they reload the page.
  • Value stacking, so the [$2,000 value, yours for $27] arithmetic, because it reads as fiction and the reason it reads that way is that it is fiction.
  • Three pricing columns for one product, because the outer two are only there to make the middle one look sensible, and people can feel that being done to them.
  • Any sentence that starts with “Imagine a world where…”, because it asks somebody to daydream at the exact moment they’re trying to work out whether they can trust you.
do this nowWrite your section 4 in its box above before anything else, because the writing order starts at the offer and every other section on the page leans on it.
