			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-family: verdana;">Ever dreamed about  NOT having to start from scratch online, NOT having to figure out what  will sell (and what won&#8217;t) and NOT having to create a boatload of  products for your Internet Marketing business?</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Every once in awhile,  this dream becomes a reality for some&#8230;</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><strong><a href="http://use-sell.com/2/1513136fw/?aff_id=52666">Click here to for the answer</a></strong><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It&#8217;s like a window opens  in the cosmic universe, and if you&#8217;re lucky enough to see that window  and go through it, you are bestowed with magic powers that can  accelerate your online career in a turbo way.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Okay, I made the &#8220;magic  powers&#8221; bit up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-family: verdana;">Thankfully, no magic is required.</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Several years ago Mark  Joyner retired from his online ventures and sold all of his products,  all of the rights to the products, and all of the source code, word  docs, etc. to marketers lucky enough to be in the right place at the  right time to grab his offer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Some of those marketers and would-be marketers went on to  make fortunes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><em><span style="font-family: verdana;">Ever hear of Russell Brunson?</span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">He didn&#8217;t even have  enough money to buy the farewell package, so he ran around doing odd  jobs to get it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-family: verdana;">Now he&#8217;s a multi-millionaire.</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Yes, standing on the  shoulders of a giant is a remarkable way indeed to get a turbo-boost in  your own online business, regardless of whether you are just starting  out or you have been doing this for some time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">A window of opportunity  is about to open. Only 500 people at most will be able to pass through  this window and turbo-charge their future.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">And if you haven&#8217;t  guessed yet, my use of the word &#8220;Turbo&#8221; is not accidental.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">John &#8220;Turbo&#8221; Delavera is  RETIRING from his vast online empire.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">And he is about to offer  the PRIVATE LABEL RIGHTS to nearly ALL of his Turbo line of products,  both software and information products.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="http://use-sell.com/2/1513136fw/?aff_id=52666"><strong>Click here to create products in a snap</strong></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><strong><br />
</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-family: verdana;">What can you do with  these?</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><em><span style="font-family: verdana;">What can&#8217;t you do might  be a better question.</span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">You probably already know what you can do with private  label rights to information products.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">You can put your own name  on them, you can give them a new title, you can change them, add to  them, break them up, etc. It&#8217;s almost like you had written the material  yourself, except you can&#8217;t sell private label rights to them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">You can even add audio,  video, create membership sites, etc. You&#8217;re limited by ONE thing &#8211; your  imagination.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Software works the same way, except if you want to alter  the code, you might need to hire someone to do that for you, unless  you&#8217;re good at that sort of thing. But hiring someone is super easy and  can be done at a variety of sites that hook people up with coders all  over the world.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">But who says you need to alter the code? You can sell  these products just as they are, with maybe a new name to jazz it up a  bit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Bottom line: John has  spent the last 8 years of his life creating these products, and you can  have full rights to them in one feel swoop. He spent far more than  $150,000 creating these. In fact, that&#8217;s just how much he spent on the  first two categories of products, so I suspect he may have spent close  to half a million, who knows?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">What I do know is that you and I don&#8217;t have that kind of  money to create products. Okay, I know that I don&#8217;t have half a  million&#8230; do you?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you don&#8217;t, this is your once chance to get a boatload  of innovation all completed and ready to go.</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">My advice; get the  package, pick out your favorite products, and start marketing them  immediately. With a little work, you can make your money back within a  couple of weeks, and then cruise on profit for a couple of YEARS.</span></div>

This site currently has 2080 free designs, its mission is to help make the internet a prettier place. You will find web design from the intricate and stunning to the simple and well laid out.  You can browse by favorites, all , or search. Each template details number of views, comments made and the number of downloads. You can add your rating for individual templates via a 5 star system.</p>
<p>2. <a href="http://opendesigns.org" target="_blank">opendesigns.org</a><br />
A community providing 1527 free open source website templates over 55 pages, you can view details of each design for: age, validation, license, columns, contrast, width and colours. An active forum is available for your questions and information.</p>
<p>3. <a href="http://openwebdesign.org" target="_blank">openwebdesign.org</a><br />
You&#8217;ll find over 3707 designs available for download via search or browse facility at this site.  Designs are categorized as either fun or business. The search facility allows a good range of specificity in what you are seeking.</p>
<p>4. <a href="http://oswt.co.uk" target="_blank">oswt.co.uk</a><br />
Here you&#8217;ll discover 267 free open source XHTML CSS templates with 100% W3C validity. It contains both frameworks for pages and CSS Menus as well as fully designed web templates. You can browse or use the search feature that allows you to select parameters including W3C validation type, accessibility, CSS and images .</p>
<p>The option of template layouts and CSS menus provides much greater flexibility and freedom than fully developed designs, not if you are only looking for ready to go designs. It also offers links to some interesting and potentially useful online tools ie: CSS Formatter and Optimiser; Web Form Factory and a PHP Object Generator.</p>
<p>5. <a href="http://csstinderbox.com" target="_blank">csstinderbox.com</a><br />
This is another site for those a little more confidence and ready to try a more hands on approach to design. It provides very basic, yet solid, CSS/XHTML design templates as a framework or foundation for building your own web design, as well as some fully designed templates.</p>
<p>6. <a href="http://themebot.com" target="_blank">themebot.com</a><br />
You&#8217;ll find a wealth of choice at this site with 6599 templates, skins, themes and layouts for HTML, Joomla, Drupal, Wordpress, e107, SMF, XOOPS, PhpBB, Flash and Myspace. Go to downloads on the menu bar then website templates. All free templates are easily accessible via graphical buttons for the particular platform designed for. Each thumbnail contains the usual information on columns, width, layout, W3S validity and a 5 star rating system.</p>
<p>7. <a href="http://opensourcetemplates.org" target="_blank">opensourcetemplates.org</a><br />
While this site claims to be the original site for open source templates is contains 20 fully designed templates, and the link to the wordpress templates actually links to a vector art site with interesting visuals. Still in the 20 open source templates you may find one that is right for your purposes.<br />
I hope you&#8217;ll enjoy taking a journey around these open source website template sites and that within them you&#8217;ll find some inspiration, some learning and something that strikes you as a good fit for your next site.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>If you&#8217;re serious about having an online business it&#8217;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. </strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll also often find that your web hosting company offers a website builder in your hosting package. I&#8217;ve compiled a list of<strong> 5 free website builders</strong> for you, that covers the spectrum of online, desktop and web hosting integrated tools.</p>
<p><strong>1. <a href="http://download.cnet.com/Nvu/3000-10247_4-10412423.html" target="_blank">NVU</a></strong> 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>2. <a href="http://doodlekit.com/" target="_blank">Doodlekit</a></strong> is an online website builder, quoted by PC World as – &#8220;the time&#8217;s most beautiful, quickest, advanced website tool right now, the strongest available online website builder.&#8221;</p>
<p>It offers a free plan that includes website hosting. Features are: W3C Valid XHTML &amp; CSS Layouts; Interchangeable Layouts, Color Themes &amp; Designs; Advanced Page Editor &amp; CMS; Blog; Photo &amp; Image Albums; Custom CSS Editing Of Layouts; Built-In RSS Feeds; Full Website Searching.</p>
<p>Limitations of the free plan ie: only 5 Extra Pages &amp; 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.</p>
<p><strong>3. <a href="http://business.blinkweb.com/" target="_blank">Blinkweb</a></strong> 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The creators of blink web say it&#8217;s the world&#8217;s easiest website creation tool that allows the average, everyday person to create a professional looking website.  Try it, and you just might agree.</p>
<p><strong>4. <a href="http://www.evrsoft.com/">First Page 2006</a></strong> 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.</p>
<p>The free version has some limitations and doesn&#8217;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.</p>
<p><strong>5. <a href="http://www.bluevoda.com/" target="_blank">Blue Voda</a></strong> 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&#8217;t need any HTML web design knowledge with it&#8217;s easy to use drag and drop functionality.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;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.</p>
<p><em>I hope this helps.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>While you don&#8217;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. </strong></p>

I highly recommend you pay them a visit once you&#8217;ve selected some CSS website templates from the treasury I&#8217;ve assembled for you below.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Your probably thinking one of two things right now:</strong><br />
&#8221; Yeah, right&#8221; or &#8220;Show me where I can get these profitable website ideas in just one click&#8221;</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll share with you later how you can get a ready researched idea with just one click of your mouse.</p>
<p>When you get a bright idea for a website, if you know the process to follow you&#8217;ll be able to very quickly assess it for its profit potential on the internet.</p>
<p><strong>Here&#8217;s my 7 step checklist for assessing profitable website ideas.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Step 1. </strong>It&#8217;s important to choose a subject that you have some interest in, so you won&#8217;t get bored, after all this is a business you are setting up, so you want something that excites you enough to keep going.</p>
<p><strong>Step 2</strong>. Make a list of your hobbies, passions and areas where you have some expertise or life experience.  Perhaps you&#8217;ve overcome an illness via alternative means, successfully adopted a child. just let the ideas flow.</p>
<p><strong>Step 3. </strong>Select the 5 from your list that most interest you and then investigate each one, reporting your findings in a spreadsheet for easy comparison.</p>
<p><strong>Step 4. </strong>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 &#8220;ideal&#8221; client. Age, gender, hobbies, problems, desires, location, socio-economic etc.</p>
<p><strong>Step 5. </strong>Market research: This is probably the most important of the 7 steps because this is where you will discover the answer to your question, &#8220;Is this a potentially profitable website idea?&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>5a.</strong> Discover what books and monthly magazines are published on your topic.</p>
<p>A great place to research this is <a href="http://www.amazon.com" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.com</a> and look in the books and magazines sections.<br />
If you find a good number of books and magazines then potentially you have a winner.  Publishers don&#8217;t waste money on unprofitable ideas.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>Step 6. </strong>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:</p>
<p><a href="https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal?defaultView=2" target="_blank">https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal?defaultView=2</a></p>
<p>This will also provide you with lots of other relevant keyword phrases.</p>
<p><em><strong>Definition:</strong> Keyword phrase is the term that you and other people put into an online search box.</em></p>
<p><strong>How many searches do you need to gauge potential profitability?</strong></p>
<p>As a guide at least 3,000 per month, less than this and it&#8217;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.</p>
<p>If your research shows that your keyword phrase doesn&#8217;t match these parameters STOP and start at Step 1 with your next potentially profitable website idea.</p>
<p><strong>Step 7. </strong>Are people talking about your topic idea?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>A new list of links will appear to the left of your search results</strong></p>
<p>Find and click on the &#8220;forums&#8221; link. This will bring up all the forums that mention your keyword phrase.<br />
If you find a good selection of forums on your topic bookmark the page.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>So in a nutshell if:</strong></p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> You have topic/s you&#8217;re interested in<br />
<strong>2. </strong>There are published, hard copy books and magazines on the topic<br />
<strong>3.</strong> Online searches are between 30.000 and 100,000 per month<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>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.</strong></p>
<p>However once your site is live, it&#8217;s important to continue to test for usability.</p>
<p>Website usability is a critical component of your success as a web marketer. If your users can&#8217;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.</p>
<p><strong>So how usable is your website?</strong></p>
<p>How quickly and easily can your website users find what they need?</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve put together a list of resources below to help you assess this very important question.</p>
<p>How usable is your website?</p>
<p><strong>9 Website Usability Tips and Resources</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. </strong>First it&#8217;s vital that you know exactly what you want your &#8220;ideal&#8221; website user to be doing when they come to your page. It&#8217;s a good idea to map this out ie: when a new visitor comes to my webpage I want them to see ___________and do ______.</p>
<p><strong>2. </strong>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?</p>
<p>&#8220;Breadcrumbs&#8221; 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 &#8220;How much is the program?&#8221; page.</p>
<p><strong>3. </strong>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 <a href="www.oswd.org " target="_blank">oswd.org </a>and <a href="http://www.opendesigns.org " target="_blank">opendesigns.org</a></p>
<p><strong>4. </strong>A site map is an important feature of a usable website. A site that allows you to quickly generate a free sitemap is: <a href="http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/" target="_blank">xml-sitemaps.com</a></p>
<p><strong>5. </strong>It&#8217;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 <a href="http://crazyegg.com" target="_blank">crazyegg.com</a> you can access a free 30 day trial of their visual heat maps on you webpage users activities.</p>
<p><strong>6. </strong>An opensource (free) alternative for heat maps can be found at <a href="http://www.labsmedia.com/clickheat/index.html ">labsmedia.com/clickheat/index.html </a>Clickheat allows you to see hot and cold click zones on your pages.</p>
<p><strong>7. </strong><a href="http://wave.webaim.org/" target="_blank">wave.webaim.org</a> is a free web accessibility evaluation tool providing an on-page view of accessibility with embedded icons rather than complex technical reports. The entire <a href="http://webaim.org" target="_blank">webaim.org</a> site provides a wealth of information and training in web accessibility.</p>
<p><strong>8. </strong><a href="http://usabilla.com" target="_blank">usabilla.com</a> offers a  5 minute, 5 step process that gives feedback at every stage of your design process<br />
a. create a test start<br />
b. select the pages you want to show your users<br />
c. select questions for your pages<br />
d. Invite your users to participate<br />
e. Feedback analysis and statistics</p>
<p><strong>9. </strong>No list on how useable is your website would be complete without a reference to the founding father of web usability Jakob Nielsen. <a href="http://www.Useit.com" target="_blank">Useit.com</a> 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 &#8220;Homepage Usability 50 websites deconstructed&#8221; can be found at <a href="http://www.useit.com/homepageusability" target="_blank">useit.com/homepageusability</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Design Your Website For Your Visitors, Not For You</strong>&#8230;</p>
<p><em>Most websites that win design awards are not great websites. In fact many provide a very poor experience for their users.</em></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The more your visitors have to think the more likely they are to give up and go somewhere else. One click and they&#8217;re gone. Not good when you are trying to make money from your website!!</p>
<p><strong>The number one rule of web design is:</strong></p>
<p><em><strong>&#8220;There is no such thing as a dumb web user, there are just dumb websites&#8221;.</strong></em></p>
<p>Always design your site for your audience, not for yourself. Everything within the design should be aimed at making your visitor&#8217;s life easier. Don&#8217;t make them have to think.</p>
<p><strong>Your top three design priorities should ALWAYS be to make your site:</strong></p>
<p>&#8230;simple<br />
&#8230;clear and<br />
&#8230;intuitive.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>So what can you do to help yourself to the type of profits generated by the big hitters?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Web site design is critical to your success in online marketing, but maybe not in the way you thought&#8230; until now. </strong></p>
<p>The first thing you need to know is you don&#8217;t want a website design that&#8217;s all singing and all dancing, with lots of animated flash graphics or pretty images.</p>
<p>In fact a web design like that could cost you a lot of money &#8211; not only do complex graphics make your webpage to load slowly but as a result people leave before they&#8217;ve even seen what you have to offer.</p>
<p><strong>Here are 10 &#8220;essential&#8221; direct response web design tips that triple your website profits:</strong><br />
<strong><br />
1. Use a great headline that grabs people&#8217;s attention immediately. </strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>2. Try changing the color of your headline. </strong></p>
<p>This tip alone can triple your sales! What color is your headline? Have you tried a red headline for example? This is something you&#8217;ll need to run split-tests on to know.</p>
<p><strong>3. Make sure your sales letter starts with an offer your readers can&#8217;t refuse or a promise they have to know more about to get them hooked and keep them reading.</strong></p>
<p><strong>4. Give them evidence your product or service will produce results.</strong></p>
<p>Add testimonials from people who&#8217;ve already had success using what you&#8217;re promoting, or even using your services in the past.</p>
<p><strong>5. Make sure you have a clear and direct call to action. </strong></p>
<p>Don&#8217;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.</p>
<p><strong>6. Leverage scarcity to boost sales.<br />
</strong><br />
Tell your customers there&#8217;s a limited supply or time limit on your offer so they act immediately.</p>
<p><strong>7. Offer a guarantee that makes your offer that removes all risk.</strong></p>
<p>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 &#8220;when&#8221; they by from you.</p>
<p><strong>8. Add your personal signature.</strong></p>
<p>Even if you&#8217;re using a made up name on your website you&#8217;ll get more sales if people feel they know you personally. Your personal signature could even include a photo and a short audio.</p>
<p><strong>9. End all your sales letter websites with a PS.</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>10. Test!</strong></p>
<p>Remember to change only one element at a time and test the difference each change makes to your sales. Don&#8217;t just test your headline colors but test entirely different sales letter designs against each other. The more radically different your test subjects are the greater the difference in conversions you&#8217;ll see.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>It&#8217;s a good question!</strong></p>
<p>I see it myself every day, you have these &#8220;expert&#8221; marketers that have become the very best in their field. Everyone looks up to them, admires their skills and amazing rags to riches stories. They get the most traffic, the most subscribers, and the most profits.</p>
<p>But try sending them an email or asking them a simple question and you&#8217;ll most likely get the cold shoulder. In many cases the best you might get is an automated email reply directing you to their support desk where one of their &#8220;trained&#8221; staff can help you.</p>
<p>Have they become a victim of their own success, so busy running their operation that they no longer have time to for a one-to-one conversation with one or two of their subscribers or customers?</p>
<p>The other day I had this superb email arrive the other day from a subscriber I had been helping out with their website for the past couple of months (again they made me wonder how much the gurus really care)&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>Of all the email marketing offers I receive on a daily basis, I believe that your offers have more appeal, less hype, and that I&#8217;ll get more reliable information for every dollar spent.</p>
<p>I also know from experience that you offer a superior and reliable customer service experience that I&#8217;ve never had from Stompernet and Frank Kern&#8211;all the frustrating time I&#8217;ve had to wait to get a reasonable response from these master gurus really showed me they don&#8217;t care about us little guys trying to grow our products and IM skills; I&#8217;m talking about weeks to months to never, ever getting a response.</p>
<p>When I had a rough time getting set-up to launch, nearly killed myself staying up night and day to develop my offer, you were there for me, Brian, and I sincerely appreciate how you helped me.</p>
<p><em>Nathan Daniel</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Whilst I&#8217;m not running a multi-million dollar operation recently I created a new blog called &#8220;<a href="http://bigsellinganswers.com/" target="_blank">BigSellingAnswers</a>&#8221; where I&#8217;ll answer any questions you have about website design, listbuilding and online marketing.</p>
