"Hi, my name is _____, and I work with store owners who are frustrated with the limitations of traditional revenue streams. There's only one way you can make money with this store, right: sell more items. But what if I could give you a way to make more money...thousands of dollars every...
OK, so your suggestion for creating trust is to share information about the product you're offering in exchange for their email address?
I'll offer another one:
Share part of your personal story relevant to the product you're giving away. What was happening to you, and how the info similar to...
An appointment setter is much better than a lead generator.
I do this very occasionally, because the price of the product or service has to be high enough to make it worth my while. I use Pamela for Skype and a Skype phone #...then I record my calls and ftp the audio files up to my client. That...
Ugh. Craigslist. Bottom of the barrel prospects, again.
I sell info products about sales methodology.
Also do copywriting, but even though I get clients from and am paid over the Web, I don't consider this "true" online work.
I think elance and odesk are fine if you are the one getting the work subcontracted.
But if you're doing the work, these sites are terrible. Full of cheap people who don't understand what is required, and wanting everything for the lowest possible price.
I have gotten a few decent clients...
Yes, people are skeptical! Even when you offer something for Free, people still don't want it because they are afraid of getting ripped off.
This is why even getting an opt-in email can be a challenge. You have to provide something that your prospects want or need and create some sense of trust...
Pretty decent results, 300 clicks on 1000 flyers. 1/3 response rate is awesome. 1.8% total conversion rate is not bad, pretty standard...but it means your web copy is converting at 18/300 = 6%!! which is above average.
This is a 2-step process and if your larger mailing performs at the same...
Hate Being Afraid to Talk Over the Phone
With People You've Never Met?
Get this proven coaching working for you (click here and read the comments)
Book your time--if you have ANY use for talking to other people over the phone--because this is the golden path to sale after sale after sale...
Find quality sites and blogs that are related to yours, and comment on them...including a backlink to your site.
When people find your site through google searches, do keyword searches around that phrase. Write articles based around the top keywords that show up. What about the keyword search...
Maybe if you use WSO Pro / Warrior Plus to power your Buy button. But you could use a regular Paypal button or other affiliate button and avoid that entirely.
I use WSO Pro and I'm not concerned.
When the OP says copywriting is the most important thing, vyp is correct.
You must have an offer! Possibly give something away too.
WHY should your reader care? What's In It For Them (WIIFT)? Just because you pushed something in front of their face doesn't mean that they will do what you want...
I believe that the biggest benefit from a forum like this is having someone to talk to who knows what you're going through.
Even if you can't figure out a method to improve on your results, you can discover other people are experiencing the same things you are. When it comes to the question of...
So many variables here.
Are the banners cued up to get the attention of the site visitors? Banners for things moms would like probably wouldn't run well on a gaming site, for instance.
They're definitely volume-based for conversions. The more targeted your site is, the higher the clickthru...
Hmm.
What's your opportunity cost?
If doing CPA activities is taking up your work day, you have to consider how much money you could be making doing something else.
If you're making less than $50 a day...well you could make that at a minimum-wage job, right?
Of course, there's the "being...
Hi Gopling, you're taking action--that's great!
Very few people take that step. Obviously it's the most important one.
Stick with it, keep working on it a bit every day, and come back here for feedback when you start feeling down about it.
Working alone can allow you to get depressed...
Howdy. I'm Jason Kanigan. Got a link to this forum and decided to check it out. There's an Offline subforum here and since I'm a sales trainer+copywriter, that's where I'll be most of the time.
I'm still pretty new to IM, lots to learn, but when it comes to face-to-face or over-the-phone and...
The first thing I thought when I read the thread's title was, "You're gonna have to give them more than one offer."
What about targeting the offers for your audience? If you're handing out fliers or cards at a sports event, have your offers be sports-related. Or for things they can do...
This thread is pretty funny. "Toe-testers"...you do it first, and then I'll follow after you show me it's safe.
Whether something works or not usually has more to do with the person running the thing than any features of the program. Successful people find a way to succeed. Lousy product, lousy...
