All businesses benefit, if not rely, on word of mouth advertising and a systematic method to generate referrals. Consider an owner of a gym, for example, who offers one free month of membership to any member who refers a friend; two months may be provided gratis if two friends are referred and so on. In essence, this gym owner is not only helping to retain his - her current list of members by offering an incentive but adding to the customer base through the efforts of others.Online business owners similarly attempt to increase their visibility and profit by enlisting others to offer lead generation, increased traffic and sales and, as such, reward those who do. Those who promote a merchant's website (known as affiliates or publishers) via the use of websites, blogs, emails, search listings, etc., reap the fruits of a revenue-sharing program provided by the merchant (also known as an advertiser).Any visitor who visits the affiliate's website, for instance, can see the merchant's offering (labeled as an advertisement), click on it, and is redirected to the merchant's website via an internal link attached to the advertisement. If the visitor buys o
John Reese, Jason Potash, and Joe Vitale are all very well known online marketers that have achieved conversion rates of 10% or more.

They invests lot of time and effort into improving their conversion rate. They know that small changes to a web site can make huge impacts to your bottom line.

Your headline should concentrate on the biggest benefit of your product. In addition, it should create enough curiosity to compel the reader into the sales copy.
One of the most powerful words in sales copy is the word you. This is also true for headlines. Using the word you or your in your headline and sales copy transfers ownership and makes your writing much more personal.
Color of Your Background
The color of your background is a very simple change that can raise your sales by up to 30%. The most effective color is dark blue, but grey, black, and white also work pretty well. All aspects of your sales letter must be tested because different market segments respond differently
Audio Marketing
Adding audio to your order page could catapult your sales by 437%. Audio makes your message much more personal and adds to your credibility. People also like to associate a face with a voice. Place a small picture above your recording and see how this affects your sales conversions.
Pop-Ups
Pop-ups are a powerful tool for collecting the email addresses of potential customers. It is also a good way to catch your visitors by the tail before they leave your site. You don't want any of your web site visitors to go to waste. So, before they leave, grab them with a pop-up. With a pop up you can introduce them to your other products, subscribe them to your newsletter, or find out why they didn't buy your product. It is crucial to know exactly what your visitors are looking for. When you know what your targeted visitors want, you can target your marketing and catapult your conversion rates.
Font Colors
Colors play a big part in online marketing. You can crank up your conversion rate by using red font for your heading and subheadings. Yellow highlighting can also rev up your response rates.
Make sure that your copy is fast and fun. Use yellow highlighting, underling, and bolding for things that you want to emphasize. All readers on the internet are scanners. Your sales letter will not be read word for word. Because of this, you must make sure that your most important points stand out.
Number and Text of Your Order Buttons
Long sales letters have proven to be the best for online sales letters because they limit a visitors navigation choices, they are focused on one product, and they provide potential customers with every bit of information they could want about a product. However, if you only have one order button at the very end of your sales page, you are probably losing out on a number of sales. The key is to place multiple button links that direct the user to the order page.
Place a red border around your order buttons. This has proven to increase conversion rates. However, nothing can take the place of testing.
Another important factor influencing click-through rate is what text you use for your order buttons. Some of the most effective text that have been used on the internet are below.

Frustrated CEO's and sales managers express that thought over and over, in one way or another. They're talking about their salespeople, of course. They harbor a feeling that some of their salespeople just aren't doing what they want them to do, communicating the right message and they don't know what to do about it.If that thought occasionally passes through your mind, read on."What do you want them to do?" I often reply.Boy – talk about opening a “can of worms.”That question is often too vague to hold any meaning in today’s world. Years ago, it may have been good enough to just say “get out there and sell.” But in today’s business world, it’s not enough.The selling environment has changed; your competition has surely changed and has become more ferocious. Now more than ever... businesses survive and crash based on the message that is being communicated to your prospects and clients, how often it’s delivered... if it’s actually, the right message for you... AND, if your message differentiates you in the eyes of your prospects and clients.How you develop your key positioning statement, (defined as “the statement” o

Years of experience have taught me there is no such thing as “Business Ethics”. If a person isn’t ethical in the rest of their lives, their business ethics aren’t worth the shoe leather they’ve worn out either.I stood beside a State Representative at college graduation recently, and heard him tell a gentleman shaking his hand that he had the utmost respect for the President of the college, because he knew who her friends were and they all had good solid “Business Ethics”. I raised an eyebrow and continued a conversation with another friend nearby. It was my third College Graduation this year.At a high school graduation, I listened to the Valedictorian say, “Your values for living all of your life will follow wherever you go.” At another graduation, an honorary graduate stated, “Who you are today will be reflected every day of your life, by what you become tomorrow.” At another function, celebrating the accomplishment of older students, those who were returning to school after being part of the work force for many years, I heard yet another speaker say, “Your life is marked by dates, one at the beginning, and one at the end, with just a dash i

If you have ever bought products outside of retail stores, you most likely know of the great deals that can be had from getting your items from overseas. You can get your products for a fraction of the cost. Most people are not aware that the items that they buy are usually imported, so they are not aware of the great savings they are missing out on. It can be hard for an individual to make purchases as such overseas, but for a businessperson, it can be a great asset that they can obtain quite easily.There are at least three things that you need to consider when you choose to import from wholesalers overseas.1. The cost you pay for your item is not your cost of wholesale. The total of your wholesale cost is the total of the cumulative cost that you incur from getting the product to your door, packed and then shipped to your client. For an example: you may pay 75 cents for a ceramic dove, then you will have to pay an import fee as well as freight, a customs broker, insurance and consolidation fees. In the end, your total cost of the product for all of this would be around $2.75 each.2. You will need to make sure you allow sufficien

Newsletters / Autoresponders
Unfortunately, not everyone that comes to your site will be ready to buy. Actually, this is usually 90% or more of the visitors that arrive at your site. However, to be successful, you must be able to stay in contact with potential customers. In order to do this you must capture their email address by offering a newsletter or autoresponder. You can do this through a pop-up or subscription form. Some of the best places for a subscription form include the top-left hand of your sales page and the very bottom of your sales copy.
Limited Choices
Limit your visitors to a single choice. Your sales page should have one main goal: to sell one, individual product. You may have a secondary purpose of subscribing visitors to your newsletter, but this is not the main point of the page. The more choices you give people to surf around your site, the more confused they become and many will often just click away to somewhere else. By focusing your potential customers, you can crank up your conversion rates.
Web Site Copy
- Strong testimonials can increase your sales by a phenomenal 250%. Gaining credibility is crucial on the internet where there are no sales reps on hand to talk to personally. When your visitors see that other people have risked doing business with you and have been pleased with the results, you gain trust that cannot be bought. However, when lost, it is nearly impossible to gain back.
For a testimonial to be effective, it must contain the following elements:
- A good testimonial is descriptive! Avoid using one and two word testimonials. People will be much more influenced by longer testimonials that contain solid numbers and facts about the benefits they experienced.
- List the customer's full name, business name, and URL.
- Do NOT edit your testimonials. This is an unethical practice. However, correcting the spelling would be acceptable
So, how do you go about collecting these powerful testimonials? There are a couple of options. You may ask current customers for testimonials. Many times, you may have many very happy customers who just never really thought about sending in a testimonial. They are very likely to be responsive if you approach them and explain to them how both of you stand to benefit.
Another option is to give a couple of your products away for free in exchange for a testimonial. This has proven to be very effective in some cases.
Nevertheless, be sure to incorporate testimonials into your overall marketing plan. Research has shown that they work best when placed right below the headline.
A strong guarantee helps alleviate any anxiety the customer may be feeling about ordering from you. Your guarantee shows that you have confidence in what you are selling. Did you know that the longer your guarantee is for, the fewer returns you will receive? This is a simple solution that will increase your bottom line and reduce the headache of filing returns. So go ahead and give your customers a one year guarantee. If you want to gain their trust even further and lower your return rate, give them a lifetime guarantee. Remember, your first-time customer is often worth much more than just their initial purchase. Your current customers are the most valuable sources of repeat sales. Always keep this in mind when marketing to a lifetime customer.
No matter what you are selling online, you can increase your conversion rates by using pictures of your products. This is especially true for ebooks.
People are visual. A three-dimensional picture of your product can:
- increase your pageviews by 300%
- increase actions (clickthroughs, downloads, r
