Mini Sites – Use Them, Or Lose Them!
A lot of money I make, and probably one of the best and easiest ways make money is to sell a product using a ‘Mini-site’. A mini-site is a small site which generally consists of only few pages. A sales, or ‘Pitch’ page, and maybe a contact and about us page. More can be added, but seldom are.
One Reason you want such a simple site for your online business is because, you really only want people to do one thing when they are there. That could be anything a product, reading some information, or joining your mailing list. I think you get the point. Whatever that action you want that visitor to take generally doesn’t need the site to have a lot of pages. Adding to many pages to any site just gives the site visitor(potential customer) a way to get lost and possibly not find their way back to your offer. NOT GOOD. Trust me, keep it basic!
Another reason to Keep it short and simple is because you only have a matter of seconds to keep someones interest, so the shorter the better. You want to say what you need to say on that fist page, if they click away to find more information, you have probably lost them.
Think about it this way…. almost every internet guru turned self-made millionaire uses these types of mini-sites to sell you there products everyday. So, there must be something to it, right? Right. Its been tested, its tried and true. It just plain out, works. So why break what isn’t broken? Sure there are the exception, but trust me when I say, there are more case of them working than not. I speak from experience.
So, how does one build something like this? How, Justin might I get my eager fingers on mini-site if I have zero web design skills? Well, I am going to tell you… You can buy templates from several sources… you can simply download them for free at http://www.moneyvaultsecrets.com/free-minisite-templates.html. There are 15 free templates. All you have to do is optin and you will be able to download them. But, I guess if you would rather waste your money, than i’m sure you can find many vendors that would be happy to take your money off your hands…
Well, that’s all today, my little marketers and marketdetts…
Until next time… May your money come by the truck load and success rain from the sky!
SEO Is The Key To Making Money With Your Blog
You can talk until you’re blue in the face, but it doesn’t do any good if no one is there to hear you. Same goes for writing a blog. If you write a blog, even if you are the best writer the world, if no one reads it you will just end up with sore fingers.
So then, how do you get people to read your blog? Well, the first step is to get them to it. And one of the best ways to do that is SEO, or search engine optimization.
When you type a phrase into a search engine and it brings up results, its the SEO of that site that places it in the results. So, in other words, when the search engine spiders crawl a site, its in the site’s coding which tells the search engine how relative your site is for the term being searched. The more relevant the engine thinks your site is, the better you will rank. What’s good for the goose, is good for the gander; meaning, if you can SEO a site, you can SEO a blog. In fact, Google Is placing a lot more emphasis on blogs than ever before.
Think about it this way. if your blog is about how to make money online, then you are going to want to include keywords like; Home based business, making money online, work from home, etc. I think you get the idea. After all you’re reading this, so you can’t be stupid…
Well, Justin… how do I know what keywords to put in my blog? Well, maybe you’re not as smart as I thought… No, just kidding… it’s a great question. Just think about what you might search for if you were looking for a blog or website that talked about what you are writing about. Really its that easy. Also, ask friend and family. Remember, everyone searches differently, so getting some imput from friends is always a good thing. Just say, “Hey, dude, if you were wanting to start an online business, or work from home, what would you type into Google to find it.” Ask a few friends, and there you go. You got yourself a keyword list started. Now, wasn’t that easy???
Seriously, its best to use your expertise when thinking of words to optimize your
blog for searching…
Think about what has worked, what hasn’t worked, and use them for your own blog SEO. This way, when someone puts one of the terms that you put in your blog into a search engine it will be one of the sites that comes up.
