Website Elements To Help You Make Money With Your Site or Blog
To make money with your Website, you need to promote quality products or services. They can be your own products or services or you can promote other people's products as an affiliate.
You'll need to include the following elements on your site:
- Information about your products or services.
- A compelling sales letter or sales copy and/or video.
- A special offer.
- A call to action (click here to see examples of action words).
- Order information (tell prospects how to order).
- An online order form (include links to your order form and sales letter on your home page).
- A shopping cart (see my review of different shopping carts and payment methods)
- Contact information. Include your name, business name, email, 800#, local phone number (international prospects can't call 800 numbers) and mailing address.
- Company information.
- Opt-in form: Visitors typically come to your Website four to five times before they buy from you so it's important to motivate them to give you their email address so you can follow up with them. Find out what you need to build a list.
Include those key elements to build a successful website or blog.
