Want to Sell More on the Internet?

Write better. The power is in your words!

Unfortunately, at least 98% of small business sites start "at the end"... the sale. Great Netwriting is actually far, far more than writing great sales copy.

Before you write to sell, take an order, clear a credit card and ship a product...

You need traffic. PREsold traffic.

And sales copy does not do that.

That is why effective Netwriting is really a two-step process... PREsell, then SELL. And that requires two different kinds of writing...

1) Write to PREsell.

2) Then, and only then, write to SELL.

Now for the good news... you can do this. How? Take The Netwriting Masters Course.

It is the only book about Netwriting that covers both PREselling and selling (every other book on Netwriting focuses only on writing to sell -- this itself is a reflection of that "starting-at-the-end" philosophy).

Effective Netwriting (i.e., the kind that generates income) is indeed something that anyone can accomplish. There is nothing magical or complicated about it. And you don't need an English degree or literary genius to do it.

You just need to follow the right process, the correct steps. And that requires you to make the critical offline-to-online business mindshift from "location, location, location" to...

"Information, information, information!"

Surfers on the Net are not looking for you or your business. People search for information, for solutions. So give them what they want. Well before you make your first sale, provide the information (i.e., high value content) that people are searching for, in a way that the Search Engines like. Create content that OVERdelivers what your visitors seek!

Most small businesses fail on the Net because they prepare to sell and collect money, before they have provided what their visitors are searching for... information. These small business owners build a Web site to sell and somehow figure that traffic will just show up and be willing to buy or hire immediately.

Wrong thinking... wrong process... no results! It's like pushing a string. You have to pull instead... pull targeted visitors into your site, PREsell them... then, and only then, sell. Write to deliver what humans want... information. And write for two audiences, the Search Engine spiders and the humans. That's what effective PREselling is all about!

Web Site or Web Business?

Do you have a web site or a web business?
What is the difference?

Think about this question: Is a web site a business tool or is a web site a business? It's a trick question. It's both.

As examples: For the small business owner, a web site is a sales and marketing tool. For the most of us – and probably all of us - a web site is a business.
Web site: A web site can be a family site with pictures and details of the family's life events. A web site can be a showcase of an individual's poetry.

Web Business: A web business offers part or all of the business processes on one web site. This could involve web-based marketing for a local printing company, a lead-generation site for a network marketer, an infopreneur site focused on affiliate programs or ebook sales, an interior designer who sells products via the internet.

If you want your web site to be a business, you have to treat it like a business.

So, how do you review your site in an objective manner to determine if it meets the criteria of a web business?

As Stephen Covey so aptly put it: Begin with the end in mind.

In evaluating your site, the first thing you want to look at is how you are making money from it. Are you selling products or a service? Are you generating income with Google Adsense?

You need to determine what it is that you want your business to accomplish. What is the goal of your site?

Your Most Wanted Response
What is it that you want your visitors to do? Do you want them to make a click? do you want them to purchase something? That's your Most Wanted Response.

Once you ascertain how you want your visitors to behave, you can determine if your site leads them to that goal. Does your content lead your visitor to your MWR? Do you pre-sell or do you sell?

Traffic
Now that you know what your site is going to accomplish, you have to figure out how you will reach your target audience. You need a real marketing plan – as all successful businesses do. You have to assess and adjust your marketing scheme based on your audience and your goals.

I am not going to market my interior design service the same way I market my herbal remedies affiliate programs. They are two totally different objectives and have to be handled in different ways. I can market my interior design service via craigslist, but I'll do better posting on alternative health forums for herbal treatments.

Marketing your site on-line comes in the form of traffic generation and it can be done in many ways: social bookmarking, article distribution, free and/or paid directories, press releases and more. Find out what works for your target audience – and don't be afraid to try new ways of drawing traffic.

Presentation
What does your site look like? Does the look and feel match the site concept? If it doesn't, change it. Get someone else's opinion – friends, family or even in the forums. Make sure your site looks professional. If you need to hire a coach to update the design, do it. It will be worth it in the long run.

Is your site easy to navigate, with Tier 2 pages that sub-divide well and naturally lead to several Tier 3 pages?

Site structure (i.e., natural sub-categorization/flow/linking to numerous TIER 3s) is also important. Your visitors must feel that you have presented your site in a logical, easy-to-follow manner.

And lastly....

Content
Your site must provide real benefit to your audience.

A Web site's reputation is based on the "realness" of information and value that it provides to its visitors. You must be the expert in your field. If you are running a business, you have to represent yourself as a business owner, not as a hobbyist who wants to make a little money on the side. Well-written, keyword focused content pages are what ties your business goals to your visitor's needs. When you satisfy their hunger and thirst for information, they will reward you with their moolah.

Conclusion
So, next time you look at your site, evaluate it with these ideas in mind and make sure your web site is truly a web business.

How did all this amazing knowledge come about?

I work for SiteSell and in the past 4 years, I've learned a lot about search engine optimization, generating free traffic, ranking highly in the search engines and making thousands with Adsense.

Special Web-Hosting Offer

Special Web-Hosting Offer

Buy one site and get one free - offer extended until January 5, 2009

This is the web-hosting software package that I use for my sites and I will not use anything else. I've tried Network Solutions and GoDaddy and they pale in comparison to all the tools you get with SiteBuildIt!

My sites:

The Medicine Hut
Professional Job Search
Professional Resume Example

I took advantage of the sale myself and bought a site and sold a site to a friend - we split the deal. It's a great way to get a site for 1/2 price. ;)

Buy it while you can. This offer only comes around once per year.

Site Build It for Work at Home Moms

Work at home opportunity - plus you can pre-sell the web-site building program to others. I use this myself and it's a nice chunk of money for every sale.

I created the following web site in order to earn an extra income. While it will not support me on it's own, if I were to create 3-4 such sites, I wouldn't need to work at all (except on my sites). I have started two other sites, but they aren't quite at the level of this one.

Professional-Resume-Example.com

Does this sound like an intriging idea to you?

Find out more by clicking on the "Work at Home" button or the "My Passion" button on my web site. I have additional information there.

Google prevents me from disclosing how much I make each month by running Adsense ads on my site. Suffice it to say I am delighted witht he results and hope my next two sites do as well as this first one. They are on their way. :)
