As I often do, I did a Google search for “How to increase sales conversion rate.” I’m always looking for new ways to increase conversions, and I hope you are, too.
As you know, if you can get more of your current traffic to convert, you then make more money with the exact same traffic.
But that’s somewhat off topic. What I really want to tell you is that when I did that search, one of the paid ads that came up said the following:
“Increase Conversion Rates |
3K/Month Minimum Investment”
Whoa.
My first thought upon seeing this was these people are off their rocker. Who is going to click on that ad when ... read more

Okay, while I probably could come up with that many ways to increase your sales, most would simply be variations of each other.
Plus, who wants to try that many?
My point is, you don’t need 8,947 ways to increase your conversions, you just need a handful of methods that actually WORK.
Here then are 29 ways to increase conversions – also known as making more sales with the exact same traffic.
• Add proof to your home page. For example: Testimonials, research, testing and so forth.
• Use a different image. Marketers forget that the image you use (or don’t use) can be almost as important as the headline, especially if it appears above ... read more

The important thing is to DO something. Any action is better than paralysis, because it gets you moving. You can always course correct as you go.

You might balk at one or two of them. All I can say is try them before you pass judgment.

I’ve got a friend who is making a killing with small local websites. And because of the nature of this business, it’s likely to never saturate, leaving plenty of room for you to copy his business and make it your own. This is really simple – so simple, you might want to dismiss it. But it works really well.
The one caveat is you’ve got to be able to rank a small local type of website on page 1 of Google. But if you’re not an SEO person, you can hire someone to rank it for you. Or you can learn SEO and make a killing, your choice.
First you ... read more

I know a guy who lives in a remote part of Oregon. He’s got a long scraggly beard, dresses in jeans and flannel shirts, and drives a new car. By day he fishes and hikes. By night he visits with his friends in the bar, or kicks back and watches TV.
He takes several long vacations each year. He hires someone to do his yard work and maintain his house. He never works - because he doesn’t have to. And he’s lived like this since the 70’s.
Did he inherit a lot of money? Win the lottery? Rob a bank?
Nope. He grew up poor, never went to ... read more

Here’s a ridiculously easy business you can run from Facebook using Facebook groups. It won’t take you much time, and it can net you a tidy little profit each month. Better still, you can create as many of these as you like.
Grow them big enough, and you might make far more than $1,000 a month, too.
Plus, you can either do it yourself, or outsource the work – it’s up to you.
Here’s how it works:
First, create a private Facebook group. This is going to be a free group, and you can do it for any niche where money is spent.
For example, if you’re in the IM niche, you ... read more

Your customers are bombarded daily by the same types of offers – so how can you stand apart from the crowd?
Let’s take the online marketing niche as an example: Everyone is proclaiming to have THE product that will enable ANYONE to make a million dollars this year, or more.
Prospects are confused because there are simply too many choices. What they need is some relief from the continuous barrage of similar looking offers.
Here you come, offering not to sell them the latest greatest program, but instead help them to solve the problem they have right now.
What is their immediate problem? It’s not making a million dollars this year. But it is learning ... read more

Quick example: You go into a store looking to buy something. A sales person helps you, but you leave without making a purchase. You go back a week later, and the sales person greets you by calling
you by name.
How do you feel? Maybe respected, appreciated and memorable? And do you want to do business with someone who cares enough to remember your name? Of course.
When Coca-cola introduced Coke bottles personalized with people’s names, sales jumped 2%. Now I know 2% might not sound like much, but to a company as big as Coke, it’s huge.
Personalization – when used properly – can double your conversions. Here are 10 ... read more
