May 21st 2009

One of the most popular and fastest ways to start a business online is no doubt by going into the business of affiliate marketing. In simple terms, an affiliate marketer is someone who agrees to promote or sell someone else’s product on his/her own website for a share of the profit from a successful sale referred.

In a typical affiliate marketing business, the merchant or the owner of the product will provide the affiliate marketer with all the necessary tools and contents like banners, promotional emails and so on to market their products. This will save you tons of time and energy having to come up with your own marketing materials.

Alternatively, you can sign up with a few different affiliate networks.

An affiliate network also helps process payments for both the merchant and the affiliate and signing up with an affiliate network is usually free.

Secure Your Place Online With a Custom Web Site Design

February 20th 2009

As the World Wide Web becomes the one-stop resource for anyone who is looking for information about anything, it is now a must for every business to have a website. If you have your own site, you can reach your target audience and keep it open for the viewing public all-year round, 24 hours a day. However, it is important to note that the competition is fierce, with millions of websites aiming to outdo each other in reaching their target audience. You need to take important steps in order to improve your site and make it memorable and interesting to visitors. One of the ways that you can do is to have a custom web site design.

The overall design of your site says a lot about your business. Visitors will know right away if you are serious about what you do or not. It is important, therefore, to have a web site design that is both visually appealing and useful to visitors. Also, you should have a web design that is suitable for your business or whatever you are promoting online. If you are an expert in a particular area, make sure that your site design reflects your personality as a professional and exudes the impression that you are much better than other experts in your field.

A custom web site design can also help you in establishing your personal brand. As the representation of your business or the services you offer, your web site design should highlight your best potential so visitors will remember you amidst thousands of other websites.

You can create your own web site design or have someone do it for you. If you choose the latter, inform the web designer / web design company about your objectives, target audience, and unique features of your business that can make your site stand out from the rest.

Make your presence known online by having a custom web site design. Opt for a website that stands out from the crowd so you can secure your place online and be memorable to your target audience.

Internet Home Based Business - 4 Tips to Writing a Squeeze Page That Sells Like Crazy! Part 2

February 20th 2009

In part 1 of this article I discussed 5 critical points for any internet home based business owner to making a squeeze page that sells like crazy whether it’s a subscriber list you’re trying to build or a product your trying to sell.

Here are the 5 main points I discussed: define your purpose clearly, use a single page for a related keyword set, make your headline with the benefits included, K.I.S.S. your webpage design - (Keep It Simple Sweetheart), and use catch phrases in your sales copy. See part 1 for the full explanation. Here are the last 4 tips:

1. Make sure it all flows

As an internet home based business owner it drives me up the wall when I read a sales page and there is one thought that seems to train wreck itself into another thought. You want to make sure you are walking your visitors by the hand through your sales copy. It helps tremendously to read and re-read your squeeze page over and over and over. This way you can stop a collision from occurring with your thoughts.

2. Spread the call to action around

Think of this in terms of a spreader you would use to fertilize your grass. When you walk in a row it throws the seeds in multiple locations in front, to the left, and the right. Well, in an internet home based business the same applies to your squeeze page. I suggest using a “join now”, “sign me up’, or “buy now”, link or button in the middle and the end of your page.

Another prominent spot to place the call to action is in the “p.s.” Think of this as the “last call” opportunity to hook, line, and sink your potential visitor.

If your squeeze page copy is compelling enough it can actually pull potential subscribers and/or buyers in the middle of the page. People are different and you never know how little or how much it takes to convert someone.

3. Create urgency in the reader’s mind

One-time only offers work great for upsells and even initial sales in any internet home based business. Another tactic is to create a bundle offer. Whichever route you take be sure to follow through with it. If you say it’ll be around for 2 days be sure to stick to that. If you don’t, you stand a good chance of losing credibility.

Be sure to flat out tell the visitor that you will be taking the offer down in 2 days and that they need to act now or else they’ll miss out.

You could even raise the price every 15 or 20 sales. This will create a jolt of urgency in the visitor and will cause them to hesitate at passing up your offer because it may be even more expensive the next time around.

4. Provide a photo of yourself

“Say cheese!” I recommend this to any internet home based business owner. Having your picture on the web page builds a significant amount of trust with your visitor. It shows them that you actually exist and that you understand the value of your product and that you’re willing to “show up” for it.

Follow these 4 simple tips and you’re bound to have great success in your internet home based business. Writing squeeze pages doesn’t have to be hard. Follow these principles and it won’t be long until you’re able to enjoy new subscribers and sales.
