How To Sell Anything Online

by Brian Terry

You may want to subscribe to my RSS feed if you're new here. Thanks for visiting!

So how do you “literally” sell anything online, or to put it another way what’s proving to be the best way to sell products online?

In one word… video.

If you’ve not got into creating your own videos and you have something to sell online (even as an affiliate) then now’s the time to get started because you’re missing out on something very powerful.

I would go so far as to say that video is quickly becoming the #1 method used to sell online.

But there’s one thing you can do that makes dominating any niche as an affiliate very much easier and it’s called video skinning.

This video was just released that shows you how it’s done…

You really need to check it out before it’s taken down.

When you watch it be sure to take notes!

I use videos on all my best selling websites (they sell well because I use video) it’s something I’ll be applying to all my marketing websites and squeeze pages from now on.

Fast Track Guide To 5 Free Website Builders

by Brian Terry

If you’re serious about having an online business it’s a good idea to have some familiarity and confidence in building webpages. On the internet you will find many free website builders that will help you do just that.

They come with a vast array of specifications and serviceability:  some you use online, some are integrated with web hosting, others are downloadable, stand alone which you use on your desk top.

You’ll also often find that your web hosting company offers a website builder in your hosting package. I’ve compiled a list of 5 free website builders for you, that covers the spectrum of online, desktop and web hosting integrated tools.

1. NVU is an open source website builder that you download to your desk top that integrates with your file management system for easy FTP.  It includes: tabbed editing; spell checker; in-line preview; capacity to edit and debug JavaScript; a CSS editor; it also supports forms, tables, and other standard tools.

It offers an easy to use drag-and-drop interface and logical, easily accessible and adjustable menus. Overall a good basic, stand alone, WYSIWYG editor that provides all the fundamental editing and general usability tools necessary for beginners.

2. Doodlekit is an online website builder, quoted by PC World as – “the time’s most beautiful, quickest, advanced website tool right now, the strongest available online website builder.”

It offers a free plan that includes website hosting. Features are: W3C Valid XHTML & CSS Layouts; Interchangeable Layouts, Color Themes & Designs; Advanced Page Editor & CMS; Blog; Photo & Image Albums; Custom CSS Editing Of Layouts; Built-In RSS Feeds; Full Website Searching.

Limitations of the free plan ie: only 5 Extra Pages & Sub-Pages, 500 Photos/Images upload limit and, 25000 maximum hits per month, are certainly enough for your first site.  You can view examples of sites created with doodlekit, read the frequently updated blog and participate in the user forums that include current postings.

3. Blinkweb is a free, easy to use online web builder that creates blogs, content or sales letter styles of sites. It offers a simple drag and drop functionality, with a wide range of designs to choose from.

You can easily create: Testimonial boxes, order buttons, checkmarks; optin forms as well as easily adding video to your site. You can create unlimited sites and either host, for free, with a sub-domain at blinkweb or purchase your webpage creation so that you can download it and host it elsewhere with you own domain name.

The creators of blink web say it’s the world’s easiest website creation tool that allows the average, everyday person to create a professional looking website.  Try it, and you just might agree.

4. First Page 2006 is a free downloadable website builder that allows you to create: HTML, XHTML, PHP, ASP, Cold Fusion, Javascript, CSS, SSI and Perl. It offers a clear easy to use menu.

The free version has some limitations and doesn’t include 24/7 priority email support or lifetime upgrades. This site has some other interesting web promotion tools such as the capacity to test your link popularity, analyse your site ranking on search engines, a whois tool and many more.

5. Blue Voda is a website builder that must be used in conjunction with blue voda hosting. Their tagline boasts that you can build your own website in 30 minutes and have it live on the internet by tomorrow morning! You don’t need any HTML web design knowledge with it’s easy to use drag and drop functionality.

It has pre-designed website templates for unlimited web page and website creation. One click publishing means that you are live on the internet in seconds. It comes with very comprehensive video tutorials on practically everything you need to get your site live, including ecommerce set up. The follow up series of email that you receive on registration are also very helpful.

The above list of 5 free website builders gives you the opportunity to try out the various forms and structures of easy to use free webpage creation tools. Try one, two or all of them to discover which you feel most comfortable with.  There’s no need to become an absolute expert in webpage building, although a little confidence and knowledge will serve you well in your online life.

I hope this helps.

10 Sources of Free CSS Website Templates

by Brian Terry

While you don’t need to be an absolute expert it is a good idea to have at least a basic knowledge and understanding of CSS (cascading style sheets), how  to use them and how they work. One of the biggest benefits of using CSS based websites over non-CSS websites is that they produces faster loading pages.

If you can’t wait to get started, you’ll find excellent tutorials and “try it” examples for CSS and a wide range of other web building languages at w3schools.com.

Your Fast Track To Free Website Templates

by Brian Terry

Free website templates help budding internet entrepreneurs overcome one of their biggest hurdles and that is to create and build a website that will send their message out to the world in a consistent, congruent and professional manner, without spending thousands of dollars on professional design.

This list of places where you can access free website templates will flatten this hurdle so that it’s no more than a tiny undulation in your journey to web success.

A few tips before you begin. When you are searching through a site that offers free website templates make sure you understand the “rights” associated with use of the templates.

For example:
Are they for personal use only?
Are you required to keep a live link back to the download site on your webpage?

Some sites go as far as to mention that the images used are royalty free.

I also suggest you gain at least a basic understanding of the creative commons licensing, who knows one day you may be submitting a website template, for use by others, to one of these sites as well.

Doing your own due diligence is very important, without it you never know who might come knocking on your door demanding retribution – ignorance is no excuse.

Profitable Website Ideas – In Just One Click?

by Brian Terry

Your probably thinking one of two things right now:
” Yeah, right” or “Show me where I can get these profitable website ideas in just one click”

I’ll share with you later how you can get a ready researched idea with just one click of your mouse.

When you get a bright idea for a website, if you know the process to follow you’ll be able to very quickly assess it for its profit potential on the internet.

Here’s my 7 step checklist for assessing profitable website ideas.

Step 1. It’s important to choose a subject that you have some interest in, so you won’t get bored, after all this is a business you are setting up, so you want something that excites you enough to keep going.

Step 2. Make a list of your hobbies, passions and areas where you have some expertise or life experience.  Perhaps you’ve overcome an illness via alternative means, successfully adopted a child. just let the ideas flow.

Step 3. Select the 5 from your list that most interest you and then investigate each one, reporting your findings in a spreadsheet for easy comparison.

Step 4. Think about who can benefit from your information? Where are they, what do they do, how do  they access the internet, are there sites or groups where your potential customers gather? Build a profile of your “ideal” client. Age, gender, hobbies, problems, desires, location, socio-economic etc.

Step 5. Market research: This is probably the most important of the 7 steps because this is where you will discover the answer to your question, “Is this a potentially profitable website idea?”

5a. Discover what books and monthly magazines are published on your topic.

A great place to research this is http://www.amazon.com and look in the books and magazines sections.
If you find a good number of books and magazines then potentially you have a winner.  Publishers don’t waste money on unprofitable ideas.

If you find that there are no monthly magazines or books published on your topic, go back to step 1, immediately. DO NOT WASTE TIME on an unprofitable idea, no matter how much you like the idea.

Step 6. Find out how many searches are being carried out each month on topics around your profitable website idea. A site you can use for this is:

https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal?defaultView=2

This will also provide you with lots of other relevant keyword phrases.

Definition: Keyword phrase is the term that you and other people put into an online search box.

How many searches do you need to gauge potential profitability?

As a guide at least 3,000 per month, less than this and it’s considered too small for profitability. Next you take a look at how many competing websites there are for you keyword phrase. To do this put your keyword phrase into a google search and then see how many websites come up, you want a figure of around 30,000 or lower.

If your research shows that your keyword phrase doesn’t match these parameters STOP and start at Step 1 with your next potentially profitable website idea.

Step 7. Are people talking about your topic idea?

Go to Google.com, and conduct a search on your topic / phrase.  Then click on the Show options link, near the top left of your screen.

A new list of links will appear to the left of your search results

Find and click on the “forums” link. This will bring up all the forums that mention your keyword phrase.
If you find a good selection of forums on your topic bookmark the page.

You will use these as a resource later to enhance your knowledge on your subject, expecially finding out what problems people are having, provide support to others and build your reputation as an expert.

So in a nutshell if:

1. You have topic/s you’re interested in
2. There are published, hard copy books and magazines on the topic
3. Online searches are between 30.000 and 100,000 per month
4. There are online communities talking about your topic

Then, congratulations, you’ve confirmed the potential of your profitable website ideas and are well ahead of most people who grab any idea and run with it without taking the time to do their research first. They put in hours of time and effort for now reward, and then wonder why.

Now for that link to my website that in one click gives you potentially profitable website ideas…   http://BigSellingIdeas.com

Each year I publish a list profitable website ideas generated by my website, the 2010 list will be coming soon, if you would like to take a quick look at the 2009 list you’ll find it here: 42 profitable website ideas for 2009

9 Website Usability Tips and Resources

by Brian Terry

The right time to ask this question is BEFORE you even put pen to paper to create your first draft or wireframe of your website.

However once your site is live, it’s important to continue to test for usability.

Website usability is a critical component of your success as a web marketer. If your users can’t easily take the actions you want them to, you could be missing out on more than just lost sales. When users find your site easy and perhaps even fun to use they are more likely to tell others about it, and generate more traffic.

So how usable is your website?

How quickly and easily can your website users find what they need?

I’ve put together a list of resources below to help you assess this very important question.

How usable is your website?

9 Website Usability Tips and Resources

1. First it’s vital that you know exactly what you want your “ideal” website user to be doing when they come to your page. It’s a good idea to map this out ie: when a new visitor comes to my webpage I want them to see ___________and do ______.

2. Excellent navigation is key for web usability. Good navigation allows the user to answer 3 questions : Where am I? Where have I been? Where can I go?

“Breadcrumbs” are an excellent way to achieve this. Breadcrumbs are text linked indicators of your journey to pages within your website.  eg: home FAQ   How much is the program? could be the bread crumb trail to a “How much is the program?” page.

3. Your navigation needs to be clear and consistent in its look, feel  and location. You can achieve this by using templates. There are many places you can source quality free templates such as oswd.org and opendesigns.org

4. A site map is an important feature of a usable website. A site that allows you to quickly generate a free sitemap is: xml-sitemaps.com

5. It’s important to be able to track and assess the actions your users are taking, to determine how useable your website is. This is made possible by software scripts such as those found at crazyegg.com you can access a free 30 day trial of their visual heat maps on you webpage users activities.

6. An opensource (free) alternative for heat maps can be found at labsmedia.com/clickheat/index.html Clickheat allows you to see hot and cold click zones on your pages.

7. wave.webaim.org is a free web accessibility evaluation tool providing an on-page view of accessibility with embedded icons rather than complex technical reports. The entire webaim.org site provides a wealth of information and training in web accessibility.

8. usabilla.com offers a  5 minute, 5 step process that gives feedback at every stage of your design process
a. create a test start
b. select the pages you want to show your users
c. select questions for your pages
d. Invite your users to participate
e. Feedback analysis and statistics

9. No list on how useable is your website would be complete without a reference to the founding father of web usability Jakob Nielsen. Useit.com This is definitely not a site for those who like pretty graphics but for purists and researchers on the background on web usability. Information on one of his books “Homepage Usability 50 websites deconstructed” can be found at useit.com/homepageusability

Simplify Your Website And Increase Your Profits!

by Brian Terry

Design Your Website For Your Visitors, Not For You…

Most websites that win design awards are not great websites. In fact many provide a very poor experience for their users.

Awards are usually given to sites that are different and stand out from the crowd, but this often means they have non-standard navigation, lots of flash animations and unique design elements.

This means that these sites are generally less intuitive. Visitors have to think about what they need to do to get the information or result they want.

The more your visitors have to think the more likely they are to give up and go somewhere else. One click and they’re gone. Not good when you are trying to make money from your website!!

The number one rule of web design is:

“There is no such thing as a dumb web user, there are just dumb websites”.

Always design your site for your audience, not for yourself. Everything within the design should be aimed at making your visitor’s life easier. Don’t make them have to think.

Your top three design priorities should ALWAYS be to make your site:

…simple
…clear and
…intuitive.

In addition to these basic steps, there are many ways you can give your site visitors a better experience, but guiding them to buy from you is probably your biggest challenge.

So what can you do to help yourself to the type of profits generated by the big hitters?

10 Website Design Tips That Triple Your Website Sales

by Brian Terry

Web site design is critical to your success in online marketing, but maybe not in the way you thought… until now.

The first thing you need to know is you don’t want a website design that’s all singing and all dancing, with lots of animated flash graphics or pretty images.

In fact a web design like that could cost you a lot of money – not only do complex graphics make your webpage to load slowly but as a result people leave before they’ve even seen what you have to offer.

Here are 10 “essential” direct response web design tips that triple your website profits:

1. Use a great headline that grabs people’s attention immediately.

Study successful headlines used in internet marketing, as well as in newspapers, magazines and postal promotions to discover what really works. Use these as models for your own headline.

2. Try changing the color of your headline.

This tip alone can triple your sales! What color is your headline? Have you tried a red headline for example? This is something you’ll need to run split-tests on to know.

3. Make sure your sales letter starts with an offer your readers can’t refuse or a promise they have to know more about to get them hooked and keep them reading.

4. Give them evidence your product or service will produce results.

Add testimonials from people who’ve already had success using what you’re promoting, or even using your services in the past.

5. Make sure you have a clear and direct call to action.

Don’t feel uncomfortable telling your visitors what to do. Every piece of research in marketing on and off line has shown people need and like to be told what to do next.

6. Leverage scarcity to boost sales.

Tell your customers there’s a limited supply or time limit on your offer so they act immediately.

7. Offer a guarantee that makes your offer that removes all risk.

When you remove any risk your prospect might have your sales will sky rocket! The best way to approach this is to answer any objection they might have within your sales copy. Then in your guarantee tell them there is no risk “when” they by from you.

8. Add your personal signature.

Even if you’re using a made up name on your website you’ll get more sales if people feel they know you personally. Your personal signature could even include a photo and a short audio.

9. End all your sales letter websites with a PS.

Your PS should succinctly tell your readers why they should buy and exactly how to do it. Remind them of the reasons why they need your product.

10. Test!

Remember to change only one element at a time and test the difference each change makes to your sales. Don’t just test your headline colors but test entirely different sales letter designs against each other.
