Psst!...Have you Heard the Buzz?
There's a new, fully automated traffic-generation system that can send thousands of
targeted prospects to your website, every single day, for FREE! It takes just 5
minutes to set it up, and it's totally "viral"...
Today more than ever, consumers are overwhelmed with choices, and distractions. The cost of attracting users to your website continues to increase and keeping them engaged is more important than ever.
Engagement doesn't end with an individual browser reading content or clicking on an ad. Rather, engagement is an ongoing process that results in loyal customers who come back again and again, becoming more vested in your web site.
How can you make sure you're engaging and keeping customers?
In order to create a loyal following, there are some basic principles you need to consider. From first impressions to life-long membership, put yourself in the shoes of your browsers and make their experience a valuable one.
Reduce Clutter. How many times have you visited a website only to be overwhelmed and confused? What is this site about you may have asked yourself. Or perhaps you found yourself asking, "Where is the information I'm looking for?"
Don't ask your browsers or potential customers to figure this out. Make your site clutter free and create a visual priority that emphasizes the information, resources, or actions your browsers want. By reducing obstacles you build trust among new web site visitors and allow for simple decision making - which benefits everyone.
Make Navigation Intuitive. There are many ways to navigate a web page but intuition rules the day. Don't try to get fancy with your navigation or overuse java script. Basic navigation that follows current convention is the best way to lead individuals through your web site to the information they're looking for.
Make The Initial Site Interaction Relevant. When a browser reaches your web site, you have less than seven seconds to get them engaged. Making your initial site interaction relevant to what individuals are looking for is essential for keeping them interacting long term.
If you are promoting your web site with Google Adwords, or any pay per click advertising for that matter, be sure to create customer landing pages that are truly relevant to the individual who clicks-through your ad. Once you've established relevancy, you can move them deeper into your content, tools, and resources.
Ensure That Your Content Is Up-to-date. Web site content that isn't up to date does not serve your audience and browsers are likely to move on. One way to ensure that information is timely is by providing a feed of relevant news or information. If including static text on your web pages, try not to include specific dates. However, if you must publish dates, be sure to update this information on a regular basis.
Start An Interaction With Your Users. Each time a browser views your web page, you have an opportunity to interact with them. Don't let this opportunity pass you by. One great way to interact is to offer something of value at no cost. This can be a white paper, access to an exclusive list, or simply a 30 day free trial. Be sure to capture an individual's valid email address and include them on your mailing list. An auto-responder is best if you wish to engage these individuals on an ongoing basis.
Provide Plenty Of Support. Don't hesitate to offer support right from your home page. Prominently display your 800 number, support email address, and additional information for your prospects and customers such as mailing address. This information is viewed favorably by search engines and also creates a sense of legitimacy. Contact information builds trust among prospects and elicits interest in your company.
Make Sharing Easy. Once you've made your web site easy to use, don't hesitate to offer browsers the ability to share your web site with others. This can be in the form of a simple widget that allows users to bookmark your page, subscribe to an Rss feed, or submit your content to popular news sites like Digg.com.
Individuals are much more likely to visit a web site based on a friend's recommendation versus some other type of marketing initiative. Leverage the power of viral marketing with easy sharing tools.
Your web site can be your greatest asset. Unfortunately, many marketers and website owners are so focused on increasing traffic that they lose site of the audience that's already visiting their web pages but are simply not converting.
Don't make the same mistake. Improve the quality of you site through relevant content that is up-to-date and easy to find. Once you've engaged users, encourage them to share. Doing so will make your site perform better, increase conversions, and deliver value for all involved.
"Your web site can be your greatest asset. Unfortunately, many marketers and website owners are so focused on increasing traffic that they lose site of the audience that's already visiting their web pages but are simply not converting."
The above is so very true! Thanks for reminding me.
Browse
our site to find the right home business for you. When you search for a home business
be careful because there are many scams out
there. However, the home business and work at home opportunities on this site have passed an intensive screening process
and have proven to be effective at helping people succeed in the booming home business industry.
Before
you can have a successful home based business, you must first possess 3
"intangibles." These are things that must come from WITHIN you.
===> Intangible 1 <===
First,you must have a strong WHY.
Why MUST you have a successful home business?
What is driving you? What is it that you CAN'T have in your life anymore and/or
what is it that you absolutely MUST HAVE now?
For me, I couldn't stand
working 12+ hours a day anymore and missing the experience of my children growing
up. I also absolutely HAD TO HAVE the freedom of being able to control
my life and finances through a little box (laptop computer) that I
could carry with me anywhere in the world and not be tied to anyone's
time pressures or demands but my own. That was my carrot and my stick.
I felt a great pain deep in my gut of missing out on my children's
lives and the incredible freedom that succeeding in a home based business
would provide for me. I found my why. You MUST find yours.
===> Intangible 2 <===
You
must BELIEVE that it is possible.
If
you don't believe that it's POSSIBLE for you to have a successful home based
business or make your living from home, you won't. It's that simple.
For me, figuring out that it was possible was just a matter of realizing
that many other people were ALREADY making great money working from
home. If they could do it, I could too. It would just be a matter of
figuring out what those people were doing and then adapting it to my
situation.
There is no shortage of undeniable PROOF
that people (millions of them) are making money working from home. Just get online
and do some research and you'll find countless testimonials and stories
of REAL PEOPLE making real money on the Internet. Or head to your local
bookstore and you'll find the same documented evidence of this fact.
Truth is, it's getting easier and easier to make money with your own
home based business.
I've always said that
"affiliate marketing" (a simple way to make money from home) is the job of the
future. In the old days, you had to go to a potential employer, apply for
the position and hope for the best. Now you can simply go to any company
you want, fill out their affiliate application and start work
immediately. Affiliates are the new working class. In fact, making
money with affiliate programs or making your living on the Internet is
WAY MORE than possible. It is pretty much (or will be soon enough)
unavoidable now. Affiliate marketing is the "job" of the future that's
already here TODAY.
===> Intangible 3 <===
You must be willing to MAKE THE LEAP.
Ready, FIRE, then
aim... This is the operating philosophy you MUST adopt to succeed with
a home based business.
That's
backwards for most people who like to aim before they fire. The fact is
that home based business success is a moving target... The only thing
constant about it is change. You need to stop analyzing the game and
simply jump into it. You can't learn from the outside... You have to be
*IN THE RING* to truly understand and profit from it. In fact, this is
a business where you can truly be earning WHILE you're still learning...
The
lesson here is that you will never really be READY to start a home based business.
You simply have to start one. It's like having children... You're never really
ready, but when it happens you adapt and grow and therefore you succeed. This is
what I call:
"Making the Leap"!
The good news is that the cost of failure with having
your own home based business is very small. In the "brick and mortar"
world you need to evaluate things very carefully before you decide to open up
a business. It's almost always necessary to invest thousands of dollars
to get an offline business off the ground. However, on the Internet you
can often start a successful business for less than $100. The Plug-In
Profit Site is a great example of this where you can get your own
money-making site setup free within 24 hours: http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-0/freesetup.html
You simply need get IN THE GAME... Each moment that you stay "out there,"
you're wasting valuable time that you could be learning and skills
necessary to build a successful home based business. In fact, if you're
not in the game yet, you're ALREADY behind the times... Make the leap to
starting and building a successful home business TODAY!
