================== ARTICLE START ==================
There are thousands of web sites getting thousands of visits to
their websites every week without making a sale!
I can tell you the traffic is not the problem. Well maybe from
some traffic providers out there. But, in most cases the web
site itself is not able to convert web site visitors to
customers.
A visitor most likely will not take the time to find out what
you’re offering. Especially since he was not looking for your
website and your site popped up (or under). You better give him
a reason to not close your pop under!
Remember, you have only a few seconds to make people understand
what you are offering before they close your web page.
Some tips for a successful advertisement:
- Start general, keep it short, and make your page fast
loading.
- Use a lot of "white space" on your page.
- Make sure your company logo or name appears clearly in the
ad. Sooner or later, your product or name will become known
throughout the Internet.
- Do not list features but benefits.
- Have no more than 3-4 bullet points on your ad.
- Have only one specific offer.
- Does your ad look professional? If your page is poorly
designed you will not succeed.
- Tell people what to do. Put a “click here” button on your ad.
Believe it or not it makes a difference!
- Use a dark background. It contrasts most sites and grabs the
attention of the visitor.
- Don't send people directly to a sales page. Use proven
marketing strategies like free offers, free reports etc, to
generate a lead: Most people will not buy anything on their
first exposure to it.
Your landing (or home) page should not be overwhelming and
confusing for a new website visitor:
- If he has no idea why he is there or what to do next, he
won't take time to figure it out.
- Offer something of value for free.
- Do not list features but benefits.
-Your web site should grab the attention of your visitors. Use
headlines, bullets, bright colours etc.
- Does your web page look professional? If your web page is
poorly designed you will not succeed at turning visitors into
customers or subscribers.
- Make your page fast loading.
- If I have no enticement to sign up or to order, I’ll just
read some stuff for a few seconds and leave.
- Have only one specific offer at your landing page.
I have spent years running my own business and helping other
businesses. It’s always the same little things that make the
difference.
Most small businesses on the Internet do not succeed because
they do not know much about running a business online.
Think about it. People go to school for years and companies
have large marketing departments because marketing and
advertising is not a simple task.
Basically you have to search a lot to find what is most likely
to work for your web site. Once you get an understanding for
each type of advertising then you can put it to work.
