Successful Online Brand
How do you develop a profitable online presence? There are lots of ways. However, there is one secret to any successful internet business that is the same regardless of the niche: traffic and conversion. If you have these two elements, you will make money.
To get traffic, there are plenty of strategies. You can use search engine optimization. You can do article marketing. You can do pay per click or pay per impression. You can even advertise on specific websites.
If you have a small budget, you may want to start out with the free methods (search engine optimization and article marketing) and only start advertising once you are making money.
However, if your site doesn’t convert your visitors to sales, even a million visitors a day isn’t going to do you any good. How do you increase your conversions? Here are four simple strategies:
#1) Avoid image advertising
Image ads are what come to mind when most people think of “online brand building”. However, this form of advertising is often not very effective.
Why? It’s because there is no call to action. In other words, there is no reason for the prospect viewing the advertisement to buy. Almost every TV commercial is an image ad.
Generally these companies are just trying to “get their name out there” and build brand awareness. If you have hundreds of thousands of dollars to spend without expecting any real return on investment, not to mention years to wait, this might work.
However, assuming you have a limited amount of time and money, and want instant results, you probably should include a call to action.
#2) Tell the benefits of using your product
People aren’t interested in your business; they want to know what you can do for them. You need to have your benefits clearly outlined, preferably right at the beginning of the site to grab their attention. Obvious examples are attention-getting headlines.
#3) Have a USP (Unique Selling Proposition)
Make sure it’s clear what you can do for your prospects that no one else can. If you are just a “me too” site, you probably aren’t going to do as well as if you have a unique approach.
#4) Have a strong back end
This is one of the most important elements of any successful business. You can make money on the front end, but it’s usually much easier and more profitable to keep selling to an existing customer than to generate a new one.
Remember, the key to making money is traffic plus conversion. Hopefully this information will help you do that.
