Every business sends emails, but not everyone does so successfully. Mastering some savvy automated campaigns is an easy way to permanently get ahead of your competition.
This is my personal story of how I went from having a job I did not like at all, not knowing what to do with my life to building several successful businesses. I’ll share my lessons I picked up along the way.
What did you do last Sunday? Well I had breakfast with Brian Massey, The Conversion Scientist.
People will not buy your stuff on their first visit. The more expensive and/or complicated the product, the more time they need to think and decide.
People like to buy from people and businesses they know and like. This is why it’s a good idea to capture emails and build a relationship before you even ask them to buy anything. This post is about getting the most out of your relationship building efforts with your email list.
If you want to double your results, you can either double the number of visitors (very expensive), double the conversion rate (possible, but increasingly harder as there’s a max limit to your conversion rate) or double repeat purchases – loyalty.
We live in the age of distrust. Our bullsh*t detectors work at full speed and anything fishy gets caught. Any claim you make without showing proof is destined to fail. We’re all skeptics.
Even if you mean well, people find it hard to believe you. Here are a few principles and a 3-step sequence you can use to make your writing more believable.
If you want to sell stuff online, there’s one thing you should always be looking to eliminate – Click Fear. No, it’s not a modern day phobia.
It’s when people are not sure what will happen after they click.
So in most cases they won’t.
Should you say ‘read more’ or ‘product information’ in your product category view? Which is better – ‘add to cart’ or ‘buy now’?
Sex sells – everybody knows. Or does it?
I wrote this short rant.
