7 Secrets to a profitable website

7 Secrets to a profitable website
Are you finally ready to start your OWN internet business?
Ready to make a second income without a second job? You
really can make some serious money and save lots of time
and effort by following these 7 secrets of wealthy
marketers.

1 Keep it SIMPLE-Your website should be simple,
informative, interesting and produce ACTION on the part of
the visitor. There are only TWO things your website should
do: produce a sale and/or capture an email address. Fancy
graphics and different fonts and colors can be confusing
and hard to read. Also, a lot of "bells and whistles" can
slow down the loading of your webpage, causing your visitor
to LEAVE. Keep it simple, make it fast loading and make the
sale or get the email address.

2. Make use of auto responders. Studies show that MOST of
the time, you will NOT make a sale on the first visit to
your website. That is why you MUST capture the email
address so you can follow-up. But NOT manually-use an
auto-responder. An auto responder is a systematic way to
send folow-up emails to those who did NOT buy on their
first visit to your site. Once an auto-responder system is
set-up, it can easily and effortlessly follow up for you.
There are many good autoresponderers such as Aweber or Get
response. You can Google "autorespnder" to find them. See
what successful marketers are using and follow suit.

3. Use an easy to remember web address: An URL is a Uniform
Resource Locator or the words you type in to find a
website. Usually the shorter the better. If you are using
an affilaite website, you may want to register a separte,
simple domain name and then just use an URL redirect to
forward visitors to your website.

4. Make it SIMPLE for your customers to pay. The days are
long gone when a customer will get an envelope, address it,
put a check in it and mail it to you. Over 90% of all
online business is done with e-commerce, using credit
cards. You can use Paypal, Google Checkout, Clickbank, etc

5. Add credibility with testiomonials. If you have
satisfied customers, ASK them to send you a
testimonial(with a pic if possible.) and then put those on
your webpage. If you are NEW in business and do not yet
have testiomonials, be creative to get some-GIVE your
product or service to some friends or a fellow internet
marketer to TEST for you. Ask for their HONEST feedback. If
you have a good product or service, you should have no
trouble getting 3-5 testiomonials very quickly.

6. Add a phone number. For many reasons, if you add a phone
number to your website, it adds tremendous credibility. You
have several choices here-YOU can answer the phone
yourself(many times that is the BEST way-at least during
business hours) or you can have a recorderd message, or you
can HIRE a service to answer the phone for you. But by
giving a phone number, you send the message that you are a
REAL business and as such, you will be treated as one.

7 Make it PERSONAL.The internet can make business seem very
COLD and impersonal. But YOU can change that by adding a
bit of YOUR personality to your website. Add YOUR picture
to your website. share some of YOUR passions, etc. People
want to do business with a PERSON not a COMPANY. You are
looking to create a relationship with your customers, so
let them get to know YOU!

There you have it, By following these 7 secrets, you are on
your way to becoming a wealthy marketer!
