This Weeks Success Article WAR OF WORDS: How the Way Your Website is Written Can Mean Life or Death for Your Business by Meredith Pond http://www.WordsmithWeb.com There are literally millions of websites on the Net today, and most of them, in one way or another, are trying to sell something. Sure, not all of them are trying to market the same thing you are, but they are all your competitors. Why? Because each and every site on the Internet is vying for people's time and attention. If your site can't compete with all the others, you won't sell a thing. Traditionally, people always thought of the Internet as a place where a lot of text wasn't necessary, because people didn't go online to read. While you don't want to overload your visitors with 42 pages of text on your site, you also don't want to alienate them or insult their intelligence by not having enough words. The entire basis for using the Internet is to get information. People do research, look for people, and try to find the best stuff to buy and the best places to buy it. No matter what people are looking to spend their money on, the basic reason they venture online is to get the information they need to buy it. If your site doesn't offer enough information about what you're selling, your homepage will be nothing more than a revolving door with some cool graphics. Pictures are nice, but people need substance. If you're going to keep people on your site long enough for them to buy, give them something to do: let them read about what you're selling and how it can benefit them. Start off your homepage with a welcoming statement, then a brief paragraph or two about who you are, what you do, and what you're selling. This introduction doesn't necessarily have to sell the person on your product or service right off the bat-- it just has to grab their attention, then give them the basics about your company and what you're offering. If people don't get this very basic information about your site right from the start, they'll go somewhere else in a hurry. Once you've given the basics, you can start your sales pitch. If you offer several different products, start out with a general pitch about how your product line can enrich people's lives. Then, give a brief description and benefit (along with a picture) of each one, accompanied by a link to another page devoted solely to selling that product. Those other pages are where your customers will get the full details and sales pitch for each product you sell. If your entire site is meant to sell just one product, then after your introduction you can jump full-throttle into selling that product. Point out a problem your prospects likely have, explore their feelings about that problem, then present your product or service as the ultimate solution that will change their lives. Believe it or not, a good sales pitch doesn't have to involve a lot of hype. Think about your audience: if they're likely a bunch of educated, middle to upper class business people, you need to use a different voice than if you're speaking to starving college students. Considering your audience and their tastes before you start writing your sales pitch will do wonders for your results. When you start getting to the end of your copy, be sure to remind people of what you've already told them. Briefly review the main benefits and bonuses of buying from you, and remind people of why they need your product. As you end the page, close with a call to action that urges people to act now, before time runs out or they waste more valuable time. And finally, make sure your website copy is clear, concise, and error-free. If you have a lot of typos, misspellings, run-on sentences and the like, your credibility will suffer and so will your sales. If you're not 100% confident in your abilities as a writer, have a professional write your copy for you, or at least have it professionally edited. Over the long haul, your site stats and your bottom line will thank you. -------------------------- Author Meredith Pond is a professional writer with extensive experience on the Net.

Marketing Product Profile What success have you had? If the answer is none, then I must seriously suggest you should try something different. -------------------------------------------------------- ?Millionaire Guarantees You Can Quickly Make Thousands of Dollars On the Internet Regardless of Your Age, Education or Current Financial Situation.? If you'd like to pick up an extra $1,000 - cash - in the next 15 days, then read this very carefully. if you?d like to - Make money in an exciting business on the Internet - Take control of your family?s financial future - Be able to work from home . . . or anywhere in the world (like the beach!) - Feel confident that you're following in the footsteps of an Internet millionaire - Be guaranteed that you?ll succeed quickly and easily then this might be the most important letter you?ll ever read. Here?s why: You?ll immediately put cash in your pocket from using the simple strategies in my new book, Mining Gold On the Internet, or you pay nothing for it. In fact, I?m going to show you how to easily pick up an extra thousand bucks in the next 15 days - even if you have no money to start with. That's right - from zero to a thousand in just 15 days. Now, I know you?re probably skeptical. That?s normal and healthy. Let me give you 3 good reasons I can backup what I claim: Reason 1: I love running my Internet business from home. But not so long ago, I was the CEO of a multi-million dollar company ? Success Development International. According to Inc. Magazine, we were one of the fastest growing companies in America. Inc. Magazine named us to the prestigious Inc. 500 list 2 years in a row. In 1999, I left to pursue other opportunities, primarily building my own Internet business ? because the Internet provides the greatest chance to make the most money with the least effort. (Leveraging your time is a valuable technique the rich use to get richer.) The future of business revolves around the Internet . . . and that's where the money is. Reason 2: I?ve used this exact program to set up 5 super successful websites that generate millions of hits. TrafficRanking.com recently ranked all 5 sites in the top 1% of all websites worldwide. But . . . traffic is not what's important. What is important? These sites deliver wheelbarrows full of cash each week. Remember this always: You're in business to make money, not count how many people visit your website. The perfect proof: Amazon.com gets more traffic than you ever will, but they don't make money. I'm here to help you make money. Website traffic is great, but cash is easier to spend! Reason 3: People now pay $3,000 to attend my 3-day private workshops. We often have to turn people away. No one invests that kind of money plus travel expenses plus the time away from home ? unless they feel they are getting 10 times the value of that investment. The full title of my new book is "Mining Gold On the Internet: A Step-by-step Guide to Quick Cash Flow Online". I call it Mining Gold On the Internet because I think the Internet is just like goldmine. If you have the right tools and you know where to dig, then you can extract all the gold you want . . . any time you want. The "Quick Cash Flow" part means you make money fast. http://www.quickinfo247.com/2698063/mg ************************************************** 3.This Weeks E-Commerce Resources Can You Really Earn A Living On The Net?
