Web Site Graphics… Are They Really Needed?

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Graphics for the new marketer can be a real challenge, so a lot of them choose the easy option of using no graphics on their web sites. Then, they find that, although they have great copy, their conversions are not what they expected. Why does this happen?

Studies have shown that nearly half the population is composed of “visual people”. For these “viewers” the old saying a picture says a thousand words hits the nail right on the head. So for them a website with no graphics is boring and uninviting. They cannot visualize words. They need graphics. So you may have just lost half the people interested in your product because you have no graphics on your website.

That said, no graphics may be better than poor graphics because poor graphics may give the reader the impression of an inferior product. So with poor graphics you may have lost even more people interested in your product.

Videos on the other hand can be a great marketing tool, but if they are poor quality and are slow to load, your reader will become quite frustrated and lose interest in your product.

Remember that not everyone has high speed internet access, even today, so just putting a slow loading video on a website sales page with just a buy button can actually turn away people who really want and need your product.

In conclusion, all marketers need to identify their target market and create a balance between sales copy, graphics and videos to suit that market and their particular product.

List Building – Why Is It So Important?

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

Are you successful with your Internet business?

Better yet, do you think you are successful with your online business?

When most online entrepreneurs are asked with these questions, they often brush it off. This is because most of them, who have not yet realized the right way to succeed in Internet Marketing, continue to believe that the mere fact that they have a website is already enough to succeed on the Internet.

The truth is, they all end up very upset because they fail to realize the secret behind the success in Internet Marketing.

Having a website is not a guarantee that your online business will succeed. How will you succeed if people will not realize that your business exist online? The key to Internet Marketing is to get your business noticed.

An effective way to do this is to build an opt-in list. In fact, most of the people who are already experts in Internet Marketing will tell you that building a highly targeted opt-in list is the most effective and important tool in Internet Marketing.

Basically, an opt-in list is a list of email addresses of people who have agreed to obtain any kind of information from online businesses like you. The term “opt-in” means that you have their permission to send to them whatever newsletters, brochures, or promotions that you have in your online business.

It is extremely important that you have their permission first before you send them information because unsolicited emails will be regarded as spamming, which is an illegal activity on the web.

Because of the feasibility of building an opt-in list on Internet Marketing, most of the online entrepreneurs consider it as the most treasured tool online. They need this list in order to get the consumer’s attention and sustain interest.

By creating an opt-in list, you will be able to maintain solid contact with your previous buyers at the same time boost your sales because of the fact that you have a sure target market always ready to purchase items from you.

An opt-in list is considered to be the most important item for any Internet Marketer. In fact, if in case something bad happens like emergencies and catastrophes and they could only save one item, it would be their opt-in list saved on a backup disk.

Just imagine how Internet Marketers value their opt-in list…

If this is the case, then it must be really something, right?

So, for people who are not yet aware of the importance of building a highly targeted opt-in list and would like to know how to build them, here are some tips that could be very useful.

1. Decide on your niche market or your target market.

It is extremely important to know your target market in order to focus on something. It would be really confusing and time consuming if you will build an opt-in list with no particular market in mind.

Moreover, having a niche market would bring more focus on your marketing campaigns and would derive better results because you have directed your emails to people who would most likely be interested in them.

2. Be sure that your selected target market is available on the Internet.

The mere acquisition of a niche market is not a guarantee that you can already start building your opt-in list. Since, the concept of opt-in list is specifically generated to aid in the growth of the Internet Market of a particular entrepreneur, it is important to have a niche market that is available through the Internet.

The concept is basically simple, how can you promote your online business if your niche market is not available in the Internet?

Hence, it is extremely important to verify if your target market is available online.

3. Verify if your chosen target market is an income-generating market.

Building a highly targeted opt-in list will just go to waste if your niche market is not generating any income at all.

Try to verify their income-generating potential through the search engines, wherein you will find some paid ads related to the keywords you have searched. This would only mean that if somebody is willing to pay to advertise focusing on the same target market that you have in mind, chances are, you will be able to reap positive results on your target market.

4. Generate solutions to the problems of your target market by using Internet forums.

Using forums will help you determine the underlying solutions that will answer to most of your target market’s problems.

Through their posts and threads, you will be able to identify your target market’s problems and will be able to come up with great solutions. That, will also come very handy when you start building your opt-in list.

Indeed, the success of an online business or your Internet Marketing efforts greatly depend on your opt-in list.

As they say, the money is in the list, that’s why most businesses consider their opt-in list as gold.

All Web Hosting Ain’t the Same!

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

I recently got asked about what hosting account I currently use and would I reccommend them.

Well if something doesn’t work I sure do find it.

OK when I was starting out hosting was just hosting to me so where does one find some cheap hosting. eBay of course. Well it all went fine for a few months on on el cheapo hosting account but then their whole computer system failed and they lost everything including backups. Cautious me however had backed it all up a couple of days before when I heard they were changing to new servers.

Next I got one of those hosting accounts where everything you added cost extra. Before long it was costing me a fortune.

I now use Hostgator for my hosting and so far (now nearly 2 years) things have been crusing along nicely. I keep adding lots of sites and web pages and I’ve still only used a fraction of my account.

So if you are looking for a hosting account then I recomemnd Hostagor.

Enjoy your new hosting.
