Setting Up a Sales Page for Your Product

Now you will need to decide whether you want to make an external sales page for your product (hosted outside of JVZoo) or if you will use their instant sales page generator instead.
The instant sales page creator is great for anyone who doesn't have a website yet, since it pretty much means you don't need one to start selling your product. The setup process for this is incredibly quick and simple.
Just follow the prompts and add the details for your product, such as the title and some sales copy. It's also a good idea to include some sort of product image or graphic on your sales page, as it increases perceived value and looks more professional than a plain text page generated using JVZoo.
If you want more options and control over the design of your sales page, as well as the option of adding additional features, then you may want to either find a free template or invest in a premium solution.
If you use Wordpress and are interested in finding a premium sales page solution for your product, I recommend checking out this list of the top 7 Wordpress options.

If you don't have the funds to invest in one of those higher priced solutions, then here are a few places you can find free sales page templates to use for your product:
• WP Sales Pressor
• WP Paper Theme
• WP Sales Lead


Or, if you are comfortable editing simple HTML code, then you might want to check out one of these free templates for your sales page:
• Cash Revelations
• Tutspress
• In Deziner


Okay, so let's say that you downloaded a free template but you don't have your own website to host the file. This is pretty easy to get around by using a free Dropbox account. If you don't already  have an account, you can get one here. Once you have signed up, activate the account  via the confirmation email and then logiin.

You should see a screen with a few folder icons. One of the folders will be named “Public.” Click on this folder and it should take you to a new screen that is basically blank. Click on the upload icon near the top right hand side of the screen. See the screenshot below.

This should bring up a popup window that will let you choose files from your hard drive to add to your dropbox. Please note that any files you upload to your public folder will be visible and accessible by anyone who clicks on the link to one of your files.

For this reason, it's best to not upload your actual product files to the same folder. Instead, create a new folder within your public folder and give it an obscure name. Upload the product files in a new folder, if you choose to use Dropbox for hosting your product instead of JVZoo. This is another free option for those of you who do not have a website, though JVZoo is likely more secure than using Dropbox for this.

Okay, so find your HTML sales page on your hard drive and upload it to your public Dropbox folder. Once you have done this, the file should appear on the screen. What you need to do next is right click on the file and choose “Copy public link” from the menu that pops up (it should be the first menu option). 
 

This will bring up another popup window with a link and a button to copy it to your clipboard. Click it and then you can close this window. 
 

Next, go back to your product setup screen in JVZoo. You want to paste the link we just copied from Dropbox into the field that asks for your sales page URL. See the screenshot below. If you want to go this route, you must choose the radio button that specifies you are using an externally hosted sales page.
