The Many
Faces of Web Content |
. |
A Website
Can Be A 'Many Splintered
Thing'! |
. |
The
Internet... kids use it to play, women use it to
dream, men to fantasize, business to promote,
sell, market, and support, while everyone uses it to
communicate, invest, control, pay bills, search,
research and find information which would otherwise be
unobtainable. |
. |
Who
are you and what are you trying to do? Addressing
this all important question is the essential key to your
success in online marketing. |
. |
A
website can sell, create leads, qualify prospects,
complete your due diligence, expedite CUSTOMERS ,
reinforce your image, state your position, interact with
your customer base, educate the masses, control
confusion... and so much more! |
. |
A Website
Can Do It All! |
. |
The
art of developing a successful online presence is to
creatively control the chaos which comes with the
fantastic potential which your website offers you! |
. |
You
need to simultaneously maintain a professional
image, increase your company's branding and positioning
in your prospect's mind, follow conventional website
format, understand the needs, desires and expectations
of your prospect, while presenting an easy to understand
course of action for your prospects to realize the
fulfillment of same. |
. |
One
Product, One Prospect, One Objective... |
. |
Your
life is simple... you can skip straight to the
profit funnel portion of
this page! |
. |
What Are
Other Visitors Looking For? |
...and
should you really care? |
. |
Are
you missing out on potential profit by not catering
to the uncommitted visitor? Are you trying to become a
portal for visitors for a specific market? If so, then
by all means put every possible potential profit
generating device you can on your page, but more likely
than not, you are online with specific objectives in
mind and you need to protect your Internet real estate. |
. |
What Is
Your Fan Potential? |
Artist,
Poet, Musician? |
. |
Pump
up the volume... Your potential for attracting
dedicated visitors is much higher than anyone else on
the Internet and you are also a great source for outside
businesses to acquire visitors to their sites which
cater to your target market. Can you say pay per lead? |
. |
Dedicated
visitors will tolerate and actually respond better
to highly creative sites. What is your genre? Get
creative and make the experience exciting and new! |
. |
Your
goal with your site is to not only to promote your
latest work but also to find as many ways to merchandise
your name, image and work while creating a hands-on,
interactive, in-person "feel" where your visitors can
experience something to tell their friends about! |
. |
Local
Customer Base? |
. |
Do you cater to a specific
local or region? Then keep your website advertising efforts closer
to home. Link with local online businesses, and keep
your traffic down to people interested in your location
as well as your product. |
. |
With a
steady volume of traffic, your advertising potential
for offline businesses in your area is fantastic!
Coupons for these businesses offered at your site can be
a great source of secondary income. But remember to bury
these offers in your "Thank You" pages and other
locations where you took care of number one first! |
. |
What are your most successful
offline marketing techniques? Think up ways to
emulate these methods online. |
. |
Cereal
Aisle Syndrome |
. |
Nothing
is worse in any marketing endeavor than presenting
your prospect with too many choices or too much
information. You need to impress, then
quickly qualify, identify, divide and conquer. |
. |
Profit Funnels |
. |
Once you get
prospects to visit your site,
don't waste a single word, thought or idea! Present them
with a few options so that you know what they need, then
concentrate on getting the sale or having them respond
to any offer you can make to capture their personal
contact information so that you can continue to make
them offers. |
. |
Ideally,
your visitor will click on a link which interests
them. Once they click on one of these links, don't
easily let them go, they have told you their interest
and you now need to make your presentation. The page
they go to, needs to be devoid of outside links (even to
other pages on your website). this page needs to contain
everything they need to make a decision about your offer
and then act upon it. |
. |
These
web-pages are called 'profit funnels'. On this page
is your sales copy, offer, testimonials and fulfillment
device. |
. |
Profit
Tunnels |
. |
There
are other devices (such as this webpage) which
identifies the prospect, offers them information more
specific to their needs or a certain benefit of your
product or service which in turn leads the client to
your profit funnel... The HOME button at the top of this
page and several others do not lead to my primary home
page but rather to my "Copywriter" 'profit funnel' page.
Other examples within this website are the offers
for the FREE Special Report on both the "true" home page
of this site and the one which resides on the Copywriter
page. Both of these forms will place the prospect back
on the page they originated from. |
. |
Segue Sites |
. |
Separate entry pages are a crucial part of any
company's online marketing mix. |
. |
An entry page is best developed as a completely
separate website with a domain name which identifies
a specific aspect, benefit or feature of your
company's product and/or service. This entry page
deals specifically with that topic and may or
may not lead the prospect back to your main site. If
it is linked to your site, the contents of your
entry page should serve as a segue (or smooth
transition) into the material presented on the
specific page or pages linked to the entry page.
|
Segue
Sites can also be useful for creating an appearance
of an unrelated company's offerings which has links from
your page. These sites are ideal for linking to another
offer which can earn you income and yet you retain 100%
control over the links which lead back to your primary
page. They can also be used for controlled endorsements,
sample pages... etc. |
. |
And So
Much More! |
. |
There
is so much more which goes into designing and
creating a winning and successful online presence, it
could not be possibly properly addressed on a dozen of
these pages. |
. |
Great Web
Designers... |
. |
To
become a successful web designer you need to be an
artist, a marketing and sales expert, a copywriter, a
highly organized project manager, proficient in a wide
array of website design tools and software protocols and
most importantly, an experienced and proficient
business-person in a number of industries. |
