Creating a Good Traffic and Sales Funnel
Posted by amuj in Internet Marketing on August 12, 2009
To have a good traffic and sales funnel, you need to be able to draw people in as well as have them do what the goal of the page is. For some people the goal is to get information such as email addresses while other people will want visitors to actually complete a sale. Whatever the goal of your sales funnel is, you need to make sure that your plan includes a few simple things. You need to have a webpage that has good content. The content can be anything, and doesn’t necessarily have to relate to your product or company as long as it grabs people’s attention. To get the best results it helps to have pages link to other pages with more information, and also link to your capture page. The capture page is where people will be coerced into giving you their information, ranging from their name and email address to their phone number. Usually you’ll get people to do this by offering them something that they can’t get just from searching around your website. A coupon for one of your products or services is a great way to go about it, although many companies just offer to send weekly or monthly newsletters that talk about upcoming promotions and new products. You can use whatever method you’d like, just make sure that your technique will make people want to give you their information. Since the final step for most people is getting people to buy something, you have to decide what your sales pitch is going to be. Some companies will prefer to use their newsletters because they can constantly remind people of the reasons to buy from them. You could also just set up a sales page, but it has to draw people into making the purchase. The best way to finalize a sale is to tell people why they can’t live without your product.
Creating and Marketing a Successful Squidoo Lens
Posted by amuj in Internet Marketing on August 12, 2009
There are many sources online available for a person to express themselves, and for companies to promote their business to new people. Some of these outlets include blogs, or even person to person websites such as Facebook. A newer website that lets people really get creative is Squidoo, where people can write articles on specific topics and even post pictures and videos. To really make the most of this website, there are a few simple tips to creating and marketing great Squidoo lenses. A lens is the page that a person makes. The way to create one is really easy and there’s a step by step process that anyone can use. However, it’s how a person uses it that makes or breaks the lens. The first thing any successful lens needs is a catchy title. It doesn’t have to be flashy, exactly, but it should appeal to the people who would be interested in the lens. If the lens is about cute cuddly cats, then the title could be “Cute Kitties Snuggling Together.” The keywords will also be important to help people find that particular lens, so they should be good phrases to describe the lens. The attachments that go along with a Squidoo lens are also key factors in attracting people. Fun or interesting videos make great additions, especially videos that are already popular. Having a popular video on a page will help people find that particular lens when they search for the video. It’s an easy way to boost the lens’s popularity by using the popularity of something else. The same might apply for photos or new articles that can be either placed directly on a page or linked from the lens. Of course a lens can fall into a variety of categories and having a lens in the wrong category can be its downfall. A person can follow all of these tips and still not have a well marketed lens because it’s in the wrong place.
