“You’ve got to be smart to be number one in any business. But more importantly, you’ve got to play with your heart, with every fiber of your body. If you’re lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he’s never going to come off the field second…

Envision Vince Lombardi speaking directly to you, “play with your heart, with every fiber of your body” in the only way Lombardi spoke. Don’t those words strike an emotional response in you? Do you want to stay on the field or come off the field? You have a choice.

What would the best motivational, inspirational football coach say to his business associates? No doubt, the same words he said to his Championship football teams. Lombardi’s renowned and famous speech, ”What It Takes to Be Number #1 is applicable to all walks of life, in business, and in sports.

What kind of Compensation would Vince Lombardi reward his business associates if they followed his leadership?

A Championship, right? That championship could result in winning notoriety, respect, credibility and it could be lucrative. I doubt Vince Lombardi would pay anything less than 100% to maintain his Championship team. If he’s going to spend 100%, then, Lombardi will have to come up with some criteria to assure himself of that Championship.

So what would Vince Lombardi look for in building his championship business team? Sports Championships are the result of exhibiting certain characteristics towards a task of building one cohesive unit working together. There is very little variation between Championship Sports teams and Business teams.

What kind of team characteristics were shared by Lombardi’s teams?

1.    Commitment – is “can’t” or “cannot” in your vocabulary or do you say “let’s find a way?” Or do you find excuses like “I don’t have time”, “I don’t have the skills”, “I’m never going to be the person who is up on stage sharing his success story”?
2.    Discipline – do you stay the course? Are you ready to roll up your sleeves, dig your heels in and get to work?
3.    Excellence – do you strive to be the best?
4.    Mental Toughness – do you crumble when you step outside your comfort zone? Do you allow negativity to creep in at the first sign of pain? Who promised easy anyway?
5.    Consistency – are repetitions a part of forming good habits?
6.    Passion – do you love what you do? Do you get excited doing what you do?
7.    Faith – it’s so easy to have faith in others, do you have faith in yourself?
8.    Results – do you recognize your results?
9.    Integrity – do you perform and represent yourself with integrity? Do you follow through on said intentions?

Lombardi’s quote about passion is “There’s only one way to succeed in anything, and that is to give it everything. I do, and I demand that my players do.”  Being the motivator, Vince could empower us to commit, be disciplined, exude excellence all to avoid coming off the field. After all, we don’t want to miss out on being a part of that Championship, losing out on notoriety, respect, credibility and in particular the 100% reward.

100% is a very powerful concept. It means complete. There is no more.  Ask yourself what 100% means to you? Is 100% your motivator? Are you ready to embrace all the characteristics which make up a championship team? Vince Lombardi used winning a championship as motivation with the promises of notoriety, respect, credibility and of course monetary reward. What made Vince the consummate leader was to balance the personal motivations of each of his players and knowing when to push beyond self imposed limits.

What is your motivation to become a champion? Some people are only money driven while others are driven by the notoriety of success. Many people are happy with a balance of both with a splash of personal satisfaction. To be a champion, you need to reach beyond your comfort zone. Let me leave you with the following questions…

Are you ready to be on Vince Lombardi’s team?

Are you ready to reach 100%?

More importantly, are you ready for the 100% reward?

Selling is a skill where ability, cleverness and expertise are needed to win the customers attention and decision. There is a sequence to be followed in selling.  In every sale, no matter what you are selling, all the 7 steps in the sequence must be performed properly in succession in order to win.

1^st step: Make a list of your prospects.

The easiest way to find prospects is to ask for referrals. Possible channels to look for referrals are:

• from current customers who have bought your product/service and are satisfied with it
• from your networking contacts who know your business and would highly recommend it to people they think would need your product/service
• from your business contacts who would gladly trade leads with you for something in return

2^nd step: Analyze your leads

Go through each prospect and get to know them on paper before you go meet them or talk to them. Get to know their position in the company, group or family.  The idea is for you to determine whether they are in the position to decide whether to buy your product/service or not. No matter how good your sales talk, if they are not the decision maker, you cannot lead them to choose to buy.

3^rd step: Start to make contact

Make the call or send an email to set an appointment to meet with them. Make the purpose of your appointment clear to them from the start, which is that you’re to meet with them to make your presentation. When they agree to an appointment with you that will help you feel certain that they will be open to your talk and will encourage you to make a persuasive presentation.

4^th step: The sales pitch

This is the all-important step of the sequence. To give a convincing pitch, you will need to make use of 2 key players — information and persuasiveness. Give out clear and pertinent information where all their possible questions about your product/service are answered that they won’t even need to ask. Professionalism will always impress and your sales pitch is the only part where you can do that. So, take a good amount of time and effort in preparing your sales presentation.

^5th step: Move to close the sale

Once you’ve made your sales pitch, ask at once for the sale. You need to move in directly, with confidence and poise. Your self-assuredness will catch on to them, if you give your prospects  a bit more time to think, some may hesitate and you might end up losing their sale.

^6th step: Deal with any negative response

Not always will the 1^st pitch be successful. When you encounter a negative response, then counteract positively. Whether you face a refusal or a hesitation from your prospects, don’t leave it just like that, deal with it and work against it by negotiating. Find out the reason for the refusal or hesitation and then compromise with a solution. If for instance the prospect says that the price is too high, give a discounted rate if you can, if you’re not allowed to lower the price, then offer a freebie instead that will be really hard to reject.

7^th step: Ask for new referrals from your new customers

You will need to find a new set of referrals anyway to start the cycle all over again, so the best people to ask are your new customers because the sale is still fresh on their minds and their enthusiasm about your product or service is still high. Remember to ask for complete names and contact numbers.  Any free information they give out to you about their referrals should be voluntary, you shouldn’t solicit any other info from them except for the basic name, title and contact numbers.

From here, the sales sequence ends and will begin again.

Many startup business owners find it tricky to make online marketing work. It can definitely be overwhelming and it doesn’t help that there is an overloaded of information out there on so-called miracle products that mislead with their overhyped marketing pitches.

We can’t put all the blame on the buzz and hype for our confusion, though.   I’ve always believed that a business owner who is ready for success understands beforehand that there is no quick way to riches and is prepared to put in the hard work rather than spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars to get himself scammed. Yes, there are many great products that can help but still it’s the business owner’s job to create his game plan.

How do you create the game plan for your online marketing?

Get The Big Picture

Understand what your overall strategy is from the start. There are many parts to put together and many tools to use to build those parts.  So, as business owner, you will need to make decisions on what parts to work on to start the game while keeping in mind future growth. Where do you start? What can you start? What do you need to start? How much will it all cost initially? What do you do next?  How far can you go now? How far do you plan to take your business?  At the same time as you’re thinking about your overall strategy, you’re also making step-by-step action plans. It’s easy then when you have a rough draft to see how you want things to be, you have a road map to follow to actually get things done and you have a way to track how you’re progressing towards achieving your goals.

Lay A Strong Foundation

One key to your online marketing success is to have foresight and to think long-term. This mindset can save you thousands in renovating and rebuilding from the ground up in the long run. You can’t limit your thinking to just surviving the early stages. Your step by step action plan for putting the basic elements altogether should input too how you can take your business to the next level. A well made online marketing system has all the most important parts at the core but also has room for expansion.

A strong foundation includes investing in a: 1) business name, 2) website and blog structure that brands you , 3) Getting listed at search directories, and 4) keywords to help search engines include you and to help customers find you in searches.

Build Up

A strongly built online marketing system can withstand the changes that are made to it. In short, it’s flexible to accommodate many different methods to advertise and sell and the advancements in technology.  It is important to mix-up your marketing strategy so that you have several channels to build web presence and bring in profits. There is a broad range you can combine to boost marketing and sales, pay per click advertising, article marketing, facebook and twitter marketing, video marketing, local search and mobile marketing.  It’s also critical to track to improve performance. Check what action plans are working or not, what channels make money or not, what keywords don’t generate profits, and then adjust and upgrade where needed.

Building up the online marketing system is a continual process and marketing mistakes can cost you thousands of dollars. The trick is to start with what you can control and then as you’re training by experience, you make changes and improve it.

Just when we thought we had social media all figured out, here comes one more marketing channel that needs to be part of our business model if we want to compete in the 21^st century market arena. Mobile marketing is a new platform with another set of rules and an altogether different lineup of vocabulary and metrics.

There are many ways to do mobile marketing, there’s mobile search, mobile video, MMS or mobile social networking to name a few. These high-tech methods have their place with big-name corporations that have the technical savvy to launch this type of campaigns. But these methods are clearly out of reach to the small or medium-sized businesses that cater to consumers who are average income earners. For one, these mobile methods require technically sophisticated devices which most consumers cannot afford. For another thing, they are costly for most businesses to implement as they will need to hire mobile marketing firms that cost thousands to be able to do this.

Mobile marketing via SMS is a cheaper and easier alternative for both consumers and businesses. Texting is the most popular way to communicate nowadays with nearly every American consumer familiar with using it. Most, if not all, mobile apps, support text messaging.  SMS marketing has also the farthest reach among all the other methods of mobile marketing.

With outgoing bulk message rates costing only a few cents and monitoring response rates and tracking costs performed with the help of software that’s easily available to get, any small business on a tight budget can immediately put into operation an effective and powerful mobile marketing plan by means of text messaging.

SMS has a very high and very fast response rate among American consumers. A recent survey done by the Direct Marketing Association showed that 70% of consumers responded to a marketing text message and only 30% responded to a marketing email message.

Text messages are direct and interactive. SMS alerts can be sent out in large volume in just one click and consumers can read your marketing offers the instant they get it and respond to it right away direct in the palm of their hands. Because texting is familiar and quick to do, consumers jump at the chance to answer short ads, polls or surveys on their mobile phones rather than spam pop-ups and banner ads in their cluttered emails.

Text messages are easy to measure. You can see consumer response to your marketing messages as soon as you send out a text. If consumers find value to your offer, they’ll respond right away by flocking to your store and even making a purchase. If consumer response is slow, you can change up your ads quickly to get better ROI.

Keep in mind these two tips when doing text messaging:

Run effective messaging campaigns – With only 160 characters to work with, you’ll have to learn to compose short messages that build your value and which contains calls to action that are readily understood. Two essential points to put in: What is the offer?  How to redeem the offer?

Don’t spam – There are guidelines for best business practices in the mobile marketing channel.  If you conduct your business in a professional manner at all times, you protect your brand in the process which has long-term pay offs to your company image.

Text messaging is extremely popular because its easiness and simplicity account for the high level of consumer acceptance. SMS marketing can provide small and medium-sized businesses with a different tool that’s a proven method for lead generation and sales acquirement in the mobile marketing channel.

If your business relies heavily on local residents to bring in revenue, then local mobile marketing is the fastest way for you to get customers in nearby areas to your doorstep. Local mobile marketing is simply doing your marketing and advertising through any mobile device.

It pays to go local and mobile because:

• 74% of U.S .consumers do local searches (source: Kelsey Group)
• 61% of local searches result in a purchase (source: TMP.com)
• More than half of local searches are made by means of a mobile device, i.e. a smart phone, tablet, or GPS
• Mobile users all around the world is 3 times more than internet users
• By 2013 more people will access the internet through mobile apps than from a desktop

There are many creative ways to do local mobile marketing but the most popular method for small local businesses is by means of text messaging. If your business can afford to, you can choose more elaborate ways to integrate local mobile marketing in your business by hiring a professional agency and having them take care of everything for you. You can also opt to get your own short code for a campaign and spend around $500 to $1000 per month just for the short code plus spend extra costs for marketing and advertising it. The easiest and cheapest way to get started on a text messaging campaign is to get an unlimited plan and register with a mobile marketing firm which will allow you to use their shared short code.

Texting can be compared to opt-in email, but with faster and better results. Text messages are read right away and can be acted on instantly. Email messages on the other hand can stay unnoticed for several days.

Get your local mobile marketing started right away otherwise your competition will outrun you.  Here’s how you can begin:

1^st Step: Choose a mobile marketing company

• Make sure they can handle high-volume texting
• Make sure they support all carriers
• Make sure they have easy- to- use software
• Check if they have advanced features which you may want to expand to down the road

2^nd Step: Register your business name or keyword.

This keyword is your business name which customers will use to send a text message to in order to join your SMS list. Register this keyword to the mobile marketing company you have chosen.  It will look like this for example: “Text KEYWORD to SHORTCODE to join our messaging list.’

3^rd Step: Promote your keyword or business name.

Place your text code in all your marketing materials as a way to announce and publicize your business and also collect potential numbers/subscribers.  Customers will subscribe automatically through their own mobile phones.

4^th Step: Start sending your promotional offers!

• Create messages that are simple, clear and 160 characters short
• Log on to the website of the mobile marketing firm you have selected
• Type your message and then send it

It’s that easy to get started! And of course, follow best practices and allow your customers to opt-out. Don’t forget, too, to track your results and adjust your campaign so you can keep getting higher ROI.

Taking your business local and mobile will definitely place it in forward position and help it move ahead.  Be found where your customers can find you and help them find you fast through local mobile marketing.

Network marketing is a booming industry now. There’s no question about it being an effective marketing system. With nearly two decades of growth (and still on the running), it’s a proven way to start a business and make money online or offline.

What I love about network marketing is that the opportunity is available to everyone.  It doesn’t take into account if you have an education or the right kind of college degree. It can work out even if you have a big or low budget to start and run the business. It takes no notice if you have bigwigs or unknowns for connections. Seriously, if anyone is willing to work hard to make things work, you can jump right in along with the big dogs and break barriers and go beyond limits and be successful in this!

The very first few challenges in the setup of your sales funnel for leads and sales will be on

1.       site designing, and

2.        producing content

These 2 elements will be largely responsible for exposure and public relations. Whatever marketing methods you will choose to mix up in your marketing strategy(pay per click, social media, article marketing, etc), you will be utilizing your site and content actively in them to help get you found, for acquiring customers, for building your relationship with them, to relay product information or to convert readers to buyers.

Here are the very basic network marketing tips during construction stage:

1)      Make it your own

Your website will be your online store and your domain name will be your online business address. To dominate your online exposure from the get go and achieve complete branding, pick out a URL that clearly labels what your business is about and register it exclusively as your website address.

2)      Help people to find you

• Use keywords and keyphrases that you want people to seek you out for so that when they type in those words or phrases to do a search, your site always comes up in the search listing for them to see.
• Use those keywords and keyphrases correctly to create all your site content, from pages to posts. Put keywords and phrases on the title, intro and end section of each page and post.
• Distribute your content everywhere through your links. People don’t just find you by doing a search, they can find you by reading your blog post in Facebook or Technorati. Sometimes people can come across your site because someone recommended a post or page through a tweet. Your site can get discovered through your URL link in an article you posted on Ezine or ArticleBase. Get your site listed on major traffic directories where people can discover you, bookmark you, subscribe to you, share or tweet your content.

3)      Plan out content well

• Determine what your site is all about and choose topics that relate so that you promote yourself as an expert in the area you’ve chosen
• Track your comments and listen to what your readers are saying so you get ideas of what they need from you and then write useful and helpful content addressing their needs
• Write content that builds relationships with your readers during regular communication in your email marketing

4)      Track results and make improvements

You can’t get everything perfect at one go. Expect the early stages to be mostly trial and error. Monitoring statistics, comments, page views, page ranking, will help you examine what’s working and what’s not so you can change things up and keep everything working better for the bottom line.

Two key points to keep in mind when you’re doing all these construction:

1)      Keep everything integrated

2)      Always convey a professional image

When people realize that you know what you’re doing and that you make sense, they will choose to get into network marketing with you.

In my previous post, I talked about how websites can do the job of getting you remarkable online first impressions to help start you off in building up your reputation and in branding your product or service.

In the early stages of marketing, the website acts primarily as your online business card, introducing yourself and your business to people and spreading the news about your business around the web as your URL circulates. But, for every online entrepreneur, the end purpose of a website is to get you your bottom line, the PROFITS, real conversions that bring in the money.

Traffic –> Leads –> Buyers = Sales

If it’s not doing this job then obviously you’re not doing some things right.

How do you convert mere website visitors to leads and eventually into buying customers? Simple:  You get them to do what you want them to do.

Okay, I’ll take that back… it’s not that simple actually. In internet reality, this is actually going to be easier said than done. It can be tricky, with a lot of hits and misses at first. You will need to do a lot of persistent analysis on:

• Where your traffic is coming from, and
• structuring your website to operate correspondingly

With a  pre-planned website strategy taht is tactful and intelligent, you can make your website work as a platform for interaction between you and your target audience so that over time you can get them to do what you want them to do to help attain the results you want.

An effective website strategy will convey your message or call of action accurately and will understand and meet the needs of your audience. It consists of the following courses of action:

1.       Studying the traffic in your site.

• Where is the bulk of traffic coming from? Search engines? Facebook? Twitter? Other social media sites?
• Identify what keywords your target traffic are using to bring them to your site and then structure your keyword list to meet those needs
• Identify most viewed pages and posts and then develop your content plan to provide more informational materials for your target market’s needs

2.       Arranging the different parts of your website by organizing the major components so that they all piece together as one whole communicating and collaborating tool.

Use Content strategically as it is your primary form of communication

All website content is crucial because it is considered your voice, your verbal communication to the public. Any information about you or your brand, your message, your call of action which you want the public to know, they can learn about by means of your website content.

• In the first part, all your website content, the Home Page most particularly, will act as an introduction. It gives an interested visitor the basic facts about you, your skills and what your product or service is all about.
• After that, your internal content or what is called, your regular blog posts, will gradually develop to give out information to either communicate knowledge about your niche with the purpose to teach and train or to familiarize people with your product or service.
• All your web content must carry out publicity in that it must, all at the same time, lead to some form of exposure, public relations, advertising and promotions with intentions to excite public interest so that when the time is right, it can make people do a particular action.

Speak with the images you use

Not all content that can be read can help attain your bottom line. People on the net move at fast-paced, they don’t have the time to read, that’s why videos and podcasts sometimes work better than textual content. Sometimes, too, people miss out on what you mean or what you intend for them to do when it is all in written form. This is where you need to get your website images to illustrate your point and do what content alone cannot communicate to people.

• Use images that make a great impact on the sense of sight.  Add images that catch attention as soon as the visitor lands on the site or create a story with your images to make them follow a certain line of vision to draw them to what you want them to see or read and act upon.
• Always put a caption to describe your images. Captions act as headlines that explain your images and help translate the meaning of the whole content to the reader.

Communicate Non-stop within your website

You can do this by organizing your website pages into categories and linking all posts and pages to related pages. At the end of each post or page, you get to talk to your readers, telling them to check out more information on another post or page. This way, you not only sustain interest and keep visitors on your site longer, you also help your readers easily grasp the purpose of each post or page and their connection to each other and get the message about what your blog or site is all about. The likelihood that the reader will act on your call of action at the end is in view of the fact that the flow of communication is uninterrupted and in the right direction all the time because of all the linking involved.

Navigation

The idea of website navigation is simply to plot the course of action to determine where you want the reader to move along in the website. This involves routing all links in the website to proceed from one post or page to another following a series of tasks to get the desired results.  Simple and specific navigation accompanied with convincing calls to action can get people to do what you intend because it helps to organize their thought and keep their attention in one direction. To illustrate:

A visitor reads up on a blog post. At the end of the blog post, there is one instruction or call to action that directs the reader to the Join My Team Page where there is a further call to action which points the reader to either the About Me Page (if he wants to find out more information about your business), an Opt-in Page ( if he is ready to put his name on the mailing list subscription) or the Sign-up Page (when he is ready to partner with you on your business).

Little details have serious value

Pay attention to these important details because they studies have proven that they can help you get the results you need:

• Use terminology that is easy to understand and operate. Not everyone is a computer geek so make it a point to translate any technical jargon into common language that ordinary people can understand.
• Directions must make sense or be accurate as you would want to bring your reader exactly where you want him to go
• Avoid clutter. At first glance, the entire website must look visually appealing and easy on the eyes.   Then, it must operate seamlessly with all the links working properly and all the essential components fully integrated without any disruption.
• Use icons, gadgets, widgets that are unusual, not commonly found in other websites, l in order to arouse curiosity or attention and invite the reader to act
• Take into account browser compatibility. Use fonts and themes that give high quality resolution in computer screens to make your website legible to read. Website loading time must be fast irrespective of direction and type of hardware or software.

A website is like a piece of real estate. It is an investment on its own. Some people build it, grow a massive traffic, profit from advertising revenues alone and sell it to other people for huge sums of money. In fact, many prefer to make big business out of buying and selling websites alone. What is the purpose of your website? What do you want it to do for you? When you know what it is for, you can design it in such a way that it can communicate your information in complete and accurate detail with the intention to get people to act on your call to action and accomplish the objectives for which it was built for.

Every year since 2007, the unemployment rate has been steadily rising. The soft economy has displaced a large number of income earners.  That means each year since, more people have lost their jobs, more households have lost their income and more people have been forced to dig  into their retirement savings in order to survive. The present times have left us with anxiety just getting by day to day. Subsequently, add to this the further dread of facing a very uncertain future.  In the face of the entire crisis, many have found relief in network marketing opportunities.

It had, maybe still has, a shaky reputation with schemes designed to trick and mislead. However, I have found that network marketing has grown into an industry where the honestly successful now outnumber the scammers. Those who have earned an honest buck through network marketing know and endorse it as a feasible option to replace a nine-to-five job and earn additional income.

A network marketing business can be the best solution in this recession mainly because of its practicability.

1.       It is a business that does not require a great amount of financial capital to start or grow.

2.       It is a business which anyone can set-up at home making their own hours by working through the Internet.

3.       It is a business that guarantees huge pay-offs versus investment if it is done correctly.

No other type of business can offer all three benefits. Only network marketing can get all three advantages to work for you if you have the right strategy. For someone who has been in this business for three years and who has gone through several economic highs and lows, I am convinced that anyone who is determined to work hard to put together a feasible strategy can thrive in this industry. Success in network marketing is largely dependent on skillful planning. That is, formulating a tactical plan of action for joining at the right time with the right company. Look for a company that offers the right product or service and an honest earning structure using the most effective marketing formula to recruit and sell.

With the recession, the network marketing industry is ripe for the harvest. It is the fastest growing business trend in today’s economic market. As a distributor, this places you in a very favorable position to grow your existing business or venture into new products and ideas. Do your research and examine your strategy because in the end, it all boils down to having the right strategy.  A typical network marketing strategy involves:

1.       The right time. This opportunity can open a lot of open doors for you and others. With a lot of people looking for new financial opportunities, many are ready for the chance to try out new ideas to make more money. But, also, it’s a wonderful time for you to bring in potential leads and grow your downline.

2.       The right company/ product/earning potential. Remember, these three are your selling points: a reputable company, a strong product, a lucrative income structure.  These are the marks of a great network marketing opportunity. They are what people will look into when searching for a network marketing group to join in. They are what potential leads will scrutinize when you finally get the chance to talk to them and make your presentation.  When marketing your network marketing opportunity make sure you consider these facts:

• The recession has turned the economy into a “need” consumer market. Present your products or services to consumers in such a way that they will regard them as necessities rather than mere luxuries.
• Income and profit is always the bottom line. Present your income structure in such a way that potential leads will see it as more lucrative than the competition. Highlight discounts, opportunities for growth and other benefits as they increase their sales and go up the organizational ladder.
• Highlight the company’s track record for achievement and growth to make for a more convincing presentation.

3.       The right marketing formula. The right formula turns leads to actual buyers. Conversions are the real indicators for success. A formula for success is not just individual selling but includes building a strong downline that can duplicate your efforts. You need to recruit people who are as determined to grow their business as you are. This is a very necessary strategy in network marketing because it is a numbers game. Without a strong team that can give you repeat sales and repeat recruitments, your own efforts become slow-moving.

These are significant factors that can mean success or failure for you in the network marketing industry. It is definitely not about signing up with every available business out there and expecting things to just fall into place and the money to start rolling in. Network marketing is serious business. Network marketing is hard work. A victorious mindset is one that is properly adept at starting up this business, organizing and running it every day and working out every possible hindrance to your progress.

Website design can greatly impact customer trust and sales conversions. The visual effect will create the initial impact, but it is the structural design that completes the overall customer experience and will eventually bring in the intended sales results.

An effective structural website design will:

• Encourage visitors to stay on the site and eventually turn them into buying customers.
• Work with the search engines to get you found via search results and drive traffic to you, which will mean visitors that can be potential customers.

Very important factors to consider when building the site:

1). Fast loading time. The Internet is known for fast, quick and easy results, so people will expect that when using your site. Twenty seconds for a page load is too much waiting time for the potential customer. Trim down the size of your web graphics, style sheets and source codes as these affect loading time.

2). Platform and browser compatibility.  Make sure your web pages can go well together with the latest browser versions, both PC and MAC platforms and widely-used screen sizes.

3). Enhance the effectiveness of your content, whether your site is purely an authority site or product information, as this is the most important component in website design that can get you top search engine ranking. Use top keywords and phrases that your target audience would use when they do a search.  Give attention to keyword density by using these top keywords as much as is needed throughout your content. Include meta tags, title tags, keyword tags and description tags in every page of the website.

4). People want to see and know about what they’re buying. Put in complete details and add photos, videos, and price and product feature comparisons to your product pages while considering page size and download time.

5). Strengthen your site’s credibility by managing customer expectations.

• Use customer testimonials that can dispel their doubts, help them find a solution to a problem or help them come to a decision.

• Display reputable third-party endorsements or associations like HackerSafe or Trust-e that will help reassure your visitors that your site is safe, secure and reliable.

• An offer of guarantee always drives away those last-minute doubts and fears. Free trials or money-back guarantees usually work best.

• Provide complete contact information where customers can easily get to you for support or urgent inquiries.

The website will require maintenance from time to time to ensure proper operation. However, build your website for the long haul by taking into account any future business expansion so you can save on costs and evade major adjustments.
