Proven Internet Marketing Tip, Tools, and Tactics for a Web Site That Sells Like Crazy!
What is the best internet marketing tip?
There are countless internet web site marketing strategies being promoted on the web, but the truth is, there's only one internet marketing tip worth talking about. You have to build a web site that sells! That's the secret to success as an internet entrepreneur.
Web Design Basics
Just having a nice looking site isn't enough. To attract — and keep — your target audience, you must have a web site that is not only attractive, but also functional. You need a site that is visually appealing, downloads quickly and navigates easily. Use the tips below to help design your website so that it sells AND provides a pleasing experience for your site visitors.
Internet Marketing Tip #1: Good web design focuses on three basic values: simplicity, clarity and speed.
Flashy graphics, distracting animation and multimedia are not what will keep the average user at your site. Today's user wants a web site that loads quickly, is easy to navigate and that is rich in relevant content.
- Simplicity of design
- Make excellent user of color, graphical text and texture to provide visual interest and to guide the user around your site.
- Great content
- Ensure that your visitors understand quickly who you are, what you have to offer and how to access you. Create a content-rich site that keeps visitors coming back over and over.
- Speed of navigation
- Make sure your visitors can get around your web site quickly and prevent the frustration that comes from sitting and waiting for pages to load or from trying to figure out what to click. Offer your site visitors lots of navigation options, so they never get lost.
Pay attention to all 3 of these elements if you want to have a website that fulfills your internet web site marketing strategy.
Internet Marketing Tip #2: Study & learn from other great web designs.
You can learn from experts all over the web how to design a great web site. As you travel the Web, take notice of the sites that you like, not just from a visual standpoint, but from all perspectives. Chances are, if you respond to a web site design, so will others. Click View/Source in your browser menu to view their code. It's a great way to start learning how to develop your own site.
Internet Marketing Tip #3: Once you design a site, you need to post it on the web.
You can build a beautiful, functional website, but if it just resides on your computer desktop, no one else will ever see it. So, once you have your site put together, you need to get it on the Web. To do that, you'll need 2 things:
- A domain name
- Website hosting
There are thousands of domain name sellers and web host companies on the Internet. So, how do you know who to go with? It's not easy, but I've been on the web for a long time and I can share my own experience with you. Here are few vendors I'd recommend:
- For Domain Registration
- GoDaddy.com — This is my preferred domain registrar. I like how easy it is to use their site, and their prices are among the best on the Web. Service is great too!
- 000domains.com — This is another inexpensive domain registrar. I've registered a few sites with them, and never been disappointed. They cost a bit more than the previous option, however.
- NameBargain.com — This is yet another inexpensive, but high value domain registrar that I've used in the past.
- Web Site Hosting
- SiteBuildIt! (SBI) — Strictly speaking, SBI is much, much more than a web hosting service. But I had to put it somewhere, so here it is. SBI is from Ken Evoy of SiteSELL, and like all of his other products, it overdelivers in every way. I don't want to sound like a commercial here,but it's a great product. It's actually several products in one: domain registrar, web host, web site designer, search engine optimizer, traffic analyzer, pay per click advisor, and more. I've built 3 sites so far with it, and I'm still learning how to tap into all of its power. This is one of them; the others are http://www.superseniorsonline.com and http://www.powerful-sample-resume-formats.com. I've been using SBI since 2000 and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants the full package. You don't have to know a lick of HTML to use it and when you're done (assuming you actually follow the step-by-step directions), you'll not only have a well-designed site, you'll actually be getting loads of traffic to it.
- — If you're looking for a professional-level web host, ThinkHost is a great choice. I host www.kmacconsultants.com with them, and I have never been disappointed in the service. They're reliable, service is fabulous, and they're really customer-oriented. They have a number of features that come with their service, including 3rd month of hosting free, free software installations for shopping cart software (and others), waived setup fees for transfers from other hosts, bonus software pack, 100 free web templates, and email/spam filtering. They cost a bit more, but you'll get great value for your dollar.
Internet Marketing Tip #4: Your site has to "sell," or what's the point?
Not only do you need to have an attractive and functional web site that's "user-friendly," but you also need to know how to make it sell whatever product or service you have chosen. What's that you say? You're not really selling anything? Your site is just a hobby or informational site? Well, you still have a purpose for your website, don't you? You still have some objective you're trying to achieve with your site visitors, whether it's to continue proceeding through the pages of your site, or signing up for your eZine, or joining your discussion board. Regardless of your specific goals, the content of your site has to be written so that you achieve them.
Far and away, the best internet marketing tip I can give you is to tell you about this dynamic resource: the "Make Your Site Sell!" manual. Widely known as the "BIBLE" of internet marketing, this giant-sized manual takes you step-by-step through every stage of the starting a home internet business process. Internet web site marketing strategy is just one of the hundreds of topics covered.
But don't let its huge size scare you. Although it contains over 500 pages, this book is written in simple, easy language to help even the most novice entrepreneur. It includes such internet marketing tips as:
- The Big 3 To Succeed On the Web (i.e., develop a great product ... design a web site that SELLS with deadly effectiveness ... attract targeted customers to the site)
- Most Wanted Response
- You Can Write to SELL
- Make Your Site Usable
- Navigation... Where Am I?
- And More!
There's also a FREE eCourse you can take that teaches you how to write effectively for websites. It's called the NetWriting Masters Course. Want to sell more? Write better. Write smarter. First, write to PREsell. Then write to SELL. The ONLY course on the Net that shows you how to do BOTH. And it's free!
Internet Marketing Tip #5: You need to know how to attract people to your site through the search engines.
Another great internet marketing tip has to do with maximizing your search engine placement. The very best way to do this is to use the SiteBuildIt! Manager that comes with Site Build It, the website product I described in the section above. I was an inaugural customer of SBI! way back in 2000, when it was first introduced. The Manager was launched several months later, and I was just too busy to pay attention to most every internet marketing tip in it for a long time. But when I finally downloaded it and started using it, I started freaking out! I had wasted months and months without taking advantage of its awesome capabilities. You will not believe what it can do for you. I know this sounds like hype, but it's not. It's just my passion for this stupendous product coming through. I'll be talking more about search engine optimization in the next lesson, but if you want a sneak preview, click here.
Pricing Your Product
Another important task you'll face if you sell your own products is figuring out how to price them.
Internet Marketing Tip #6: Figure out the best selling price for your product.
Big firms can afford to hire expensive pricing consultants, but home business owners generally can't (at least, not ordinary people like you and me!). Now you can hire your own pricing consultant, but it won't cost you as much as one of those human experts. Your "pricing consultant" is Make Your Price Sell!(MYPS), another Ken Evoy product, and — fittingly — it is priced to sell. Ken is using a radical new idea he calls dynamic pricing. The price changes constantly, depending on how many people are buying it.
The price may vary from week to week, but like all Ken's products, this one over-delivers like crazy. To read more about Make Your Price Sell!, click here.
Or, if you want to try before you buy, click here and send a blank e-mail to receive The Pricing Masters course... It's an intensive (FREE) 5-Day e-mail course that shows you how to find the PERFECT PRICE for your product. Price with complete confidence & double your Net profits!
Internet Marketing Tip #7: You've got to have great content if your web site is going to be successful.
It has been said that in web sites today, "Content is King". Great content is unique and relevant to your site's subject matter. For example, if your web site is about health, then your content should be mostly health-related. You would not post content (OR LINKS!) about video games.
But in addition to interesting, relevant articles and information, most internet entrepreneurs want to sell something on the net. To do so, you have to write copy that sells. This is much easier said than done for the novice,especially if you have no background in internet web site marketing or sales. It's hard to figure out where to begin.
But it is definitely not impossible to learn how to write great copy that gets your sale almost every time!
Joe Robson and Ken Evoy teach you how in their manual, Make Your Words Sell! Like all the other Site Sell products, this one overdelivers. It's written in a somewhat light-hearted manner, but don't let that fool you. The content is top-notch, and it can help even the most inexperienced copywriter become an "e-persuader". Chock full of easy to learn techniques, it is worth every penny! Click here now to check it out. I strongly recommend this book. It helped me develop this web site.
The free eCourse I mentioned above on NetWriting is really a free trial of this important eBook You can get the eCourse here:

If you follow up on each and every internet marketing tip and all of the resources contained in this lesson, you'll find this is one of the most exciting times in preparing to launch your internet web site marketing strategy for your own home internet business. But don't stop here! We've got more lessons ahead.
