You don’t want to scare the surfer or potential customer/client away by requesting too much information. Asking for a first name and primary email address is sufficient enough. First time visitors might be hesitent to fill in fields such as last name and phone number for example.

Follow your inspiration or Go by the book?

Edison said that Genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration. Motivational speakers say there’s nothing worse than working your heart out to climb the ladder only to find out that it was up against the wrong wall. Many would agree that Edison was a Genius who wasn’t afraid to sweat, but they’d equally say that it took more than sweat to make Edison a genius. Anyone who has seen the adventures of Edison knows that Edison’s inspiration drove him to perspiration– giving us the clarity to understand that even geniuses must work hard and sweat a lot to be successful at business.

The scientific testing of advertising copy is probably one of the oldest marketing “secrets”. Split run testing has probably been in use at least since Claude Hopkins wrote “Scientific Advertising” back in 1923. The most successful marketers set themselves apart by their use of various testing methods to tweak, adjust and refine offline marketing campaigns to achieve huge profits.

Split-run testing (also known as A/B Testing) in particular is the most scientifically accurate advertising testing method known within the advertising and marketing industry. Let me explain how split run testing operates.

Split run testing originated in the traditional print advertising and direct mail industry. To conduct a split run test in a print publication (usually a newspaper or magazine), half the circulation of an issue is printed with one version of an advert and the other half is printed with an alternative version of the advert.

It is important to note that the adverts would be almost identical apart from just one element such as the headline. This allowed the

Whatever the purpose of your web site you have to pay for certain services. As a bare minimum you will need to pay for hosting, for traffic and for an autoresponder account. The costs of these services are fixed irrespective of the number of sales that you can make.

lets say that your total fixed costs for these services are $500 a year and that you sell 50 eBooks a year at $27. That means that your income is $1350 and, after paying your fixed costs you are making $850 profit each year. So your profit represents about 63% of your sales income.

Now, lets say your current conversion rate of unique visitors to sales is about average at 2%. So to get 50 sales you need 2,500 unique visitors.

To boost their sales income, most people will try to increase the traffic to their web site by spending money on Pay Per Click campaigns, advertising in ezines or by investing in banner adverts. If you don’t want to spend

There are several ways to ensure that your adverts are responsive let me outline my top ten response boosting techniques:

1. An attention grabbing headline is crucial. Yes, headlines are one of the most important elements within your web pages. The majority of professional copywriters have been known to spend as much time on headlines as they do on all other elements of an advert or web page combined. The purpose of a headline is to grab your targeted prospect’s attention and pull them into your advert or web page copy.

2. Get inside the mind of your target audience. Don’t write for everyone, write for a real person. When you are writing your advert address it to one specific individual who is representative of your target audience.

3. Get your prospect to think in the here and now, build some urgency into your copy. Where appropriate you can improve responses by making special limited-time offers that encourage them to act right now. However, you should always impose a real
