Creating A Profitable Business!
One of the best ways to grow your business is to ask
for help! And not just any help. Help from someone who
has been there and created a successful business as
well. If you're ready to grow your business, and are
looking for the guidance to make your sales explode,
and your marketing ideas fill with creativity, contact me
today!
I currently have 4 openings for new clients. Due to my
schedule, I work with a select few individuals a year,
and once I have signed up these 4 new clients, I will
again be closed to mentoring. If you are interested,
please contact me today, as these openings will fill up
quickly.
I look forward to working with you and your business!

This Week's Lesson |
 |
Making a Website With Purpose
Whether you're creating a new site, or reevaluating
your old one, simplicity is the key. Don't go crazy with
flash programs or heavy graphics. Make it simple to
navigate, simple to understand the benefits you're
offering, and simple to read.
Go back to the Rule of 3. You should never have more
than 3 main ideas on any marketing piece. It becomes
to confusing if you offer more information. The human
mind can only digest so much before it begins to
wander. Using the Rule of 3 is a good monitor for your
web site as well. Create 3 main purposes for your home
page. Then build on from there. Focus on exactly what
you want your clients to do, then put that as your 3
main purposes.
On my sites, I try to accomplish 3 things. First, I want
to capture email addresses so I can build up my list of
potential clients that may purchase products and
services from me. Second, I want to be an information
resource. I want to be a place that people know they
can get reliable information that will help them succeed
in their business and personal lives. And third, I want to
provide a reliable product to my clients. Anything more
than 3 purposes would get confusing. It would be
confusing for me to generate, and it would be hard for
my visitors to comprehend. Having 3 main focuses on
my site makes it clear in the minds of the reader as to
the content that is provided, and what they can
benefit from by being on my web site.

This Week's Action Step |
 |
|
Evaluate Your Website
When was the last time you looked through your
website from your clients eyes? What do they see? Do
they see a clear and concise site; easy to navigate;
easy to find the information they want? Or do they
have to hunt for what they are looking for, and end up
leaving frustrated. It's easy to build a complex website
with lots of information, but without a true purpose.
Especially if you've been at it for several years, and
continue adding new pages as your business grows.
Growing it is easy. Making it make sense, and be a
valuable resource is much more difficult.
Begin by discovering the 3 most popular reasons people
come to your website. Then build your site with these 3
key points as the major navigational buttons on your
site. Make these 3 reasons apparent from every aspect
of your website. Build up your detail and your page
content using these ideas. Be thorough in all of your
information. And follow through by asking for the sale
periodically throughout your site. Just like in a sales
presentation, you must ask for a sale to make it a
reality.
Then market your site! Make your website a part of
your presentation. Make it the next best thing to
seeing you in person. Make it another sales person -
and think of it in that manner!
