What To Do With Your Web Site Traffic

 

Are you trying to bring more web site traffic to your web site? But what do you do once the traffic actually comes to your web site? A lot of service professionals report that nothing is happening on the web sites. Even though they have web site traffic coming to their web sites every day, no one is contacting them about their services and no one subscribes to their newsletter.

If you have web site traffic coming to your web site, but no one is actually taking action on your web site, it is time to re-think what you are doing on your web site and start converting this traffic into newsletter subscribers and clients. Here is how:

Make Sure That Your Web Site Traffic Is TARGETED

The only type of traffic that you can turn into newsletter subscribers and clients is targeted web site traffic. When your web site visitors are targeted, meaning your web site visitors are people in your target market, you can invite your web site visitors to become your newsletter subscribers and clients.

If you are receiving untargeted web site traffic, then people who come to your web site are not interested in your offers and will not be interested in becoming your clients.

Make sure that the web site traffic you are attracting is targeted.

Define The ACTION That You Want People To Take

Before you can get results from the web site traffic that comes to your web site, you must define the action that you want your web site visitors to take.

After all, if you don’t know what action your want your web site visitors to take, how are they going to know?

It is hard to convince someone who has never been to your web site before to immediately become your client. It is much easier to convince your first time web site visitors to subscribe to your newsletter instead. The action that you want people who come to your web site to take is to subscribe to your newsletter.

Make It EASY For Your Web Site Visitors To Take Action

Nothing is more frustrating to your web site visitors than not being able to get what they need. If you make it hard for people to find your newsletter or to subscribe to your newsletter, they will leave your web site and go elsewhere.

So make it very easy for your web site visitors to take action on your web site:

– Make your subscription form very visible

– Make the subscription process intuitive

– Offer your web site visitors something of value, to make subscribing to your newsletter a no-brainer

How To Get More Coaching Clients: Top 10 Tips For Promoting Your Coaching Business Online

 

Are you looking for more coaching clients for your coaching business? Whether you are a business coach, life coach, or career coach, you can get great results by promoting your coaching business online.

Here are the top 10 tips for getting more clients for your coaching business online:

1. Define the target market for your coaching business. Until you know your target market (your niche), you will not be able to market your coaching business effectively.

2. Find out exactly what your potential clients (people in your target market) need. You can do that by surveying people in your list, doing research on social networking web sites, etc.

3. Decide how to incorporate the needs of your potential clients into your products and services. When you offer people in your target market products and services that they need, you are going to be very successful.

4. Create a web site where your target market can learn about your coaching services. Position your coaching services in terms of benefits to your target market. Your potential clients need to know how they will benefit from your services. Explaining what coaching is and how it works is not nearly as important as explaining the benefits of your services.

5. Create a web site that is effective at converting your website visitors into clients. You must have a clear process for your web site to invite your web site visitors to join your list and become your clients.

6. Start a coaching newsletter for your coaching business. It is much easier to convert your web site visitors into newsletter subscribers first, and then into clients.

7. Add your newsletter subscription box to your web site. You must let your web site visitors know about your newsletter – otherwise they will not be able to subscribe to it!

8. Make sure that your coaching web site can convert your web site visitors into newsletter subscribers. Optimize your web site for the best conversion.

9. Use your newsletter to build relationships with your subscribers and to let them know about your products and services.

10. Measure how your marketing is working – when you know exactly what is working, you will be able to get many more coaching clients.

Simple Strategies For Building Your List

 

Many service professionals tell me that the reason they don’t build their lists is because they feel that list building is not easy to do. They don’t have the time to figure out everything that they need to do in order to build their lists, and, as a result, they don’t build their lists.

Unfortunately, when service professionals don’t build their lists they struggle with being visible and getting more clients. Having a list is crucial to being successful in your business. Without a list, you have to struggle and look for clients non-stop. When you have a list, you have a group of people in your target market with whom you can communicate on a regular basis. These are the people who know, like and trust you, so they are much more likely to purchase your products and services.

The great news is that list building does not have to be difficult. Here are three list-building techniques that I use myself and recommend to my clients. These techniques are easy to apply, and they can result in many new newsletter subscribers when you apply them effectively.

Social Networking. Using social networking web sites such as Facebook and Twitter is great for building your list. When you are using social networking for building your list you need to be involved and share tips with your followers. This way, your followers will get to know you, and more of them will be interested in subscribing to your newsletter.

Article Marketing. I love using article marketing for list building. It is effective, works great and you can use it to invite exactly people you want to invite to your list! How do you do that? By writing articles on topics that are of interest to people that you want to invite to your list.

When you submit your article to article directories, it will also include a Resource Box. The Resource Box is a one paragraph description of you and your business and a link back to your web site. Your Resource Box is what is going to help you attract more subscribers to your newsletter.

Blogging. When you are using your blog to build your list, make sure that your blog contains information about your list. Then, bring traffic to your blog by sharing your blog posts on social networking web sites. You can also optimize your blog posts for search engines, so that you can get traffic from search engines as well.

Are You Sabotaging Your Business?

 

Are you sabotaging your business by not building your list? I have seen many service professionals say that they don’t know how to build their lists or that they will start building their lists next month. Unfortunately, by not building their lists they are not attracting their perfect clients and sabotaging their businesses.

If you are still waiting to build your list, you are sabotaging your business. Stop sabotaging your business – discover how to build your list during the Build Your List Teleseminar Series that starts in just two days! Register now at

In the meantime, here are three tips to help you start building your list:

1. Create An Effective Free Gift. Find the topic that people in your target market are interested in. Create an effective free gift, such as an ebook, special report or an audio recording on the subject. Use the free gift that you can give away to your subscribers in exchange for their subscribing to your newsletter.

2. Create An Effective Squeeze Page. Once you create a free gift, you must also create a page on which you will be giving away this gift.

This page is called a squeeze page, and the reason it is very effective is because it has just one goal, converting your web site visitors into newsletter subscribers.

3. Bring Traffic To Your Squeeze Page. Invite people to visit your squeeze page, so that they can request your free gift and subscribe to your newsletter.

There are many different methods to use to invite people to visit your squeeze page. You can use article marketing, social networking, blogging and other methods to invite people to come to your squeeze page.

Three List Building Mistakes That Service Professionals Make

 

I have taught many service professionals, such as coaches, consultants and virtual assistants, about how to build their lists. And in the process, I have noticed many of them making the same mistakes. These mistakes are preventing them from building a large list of people in their target market.

When you have a list of people in your target market, everything changes. It becomes easy for you to promote your expertise and get clients. It becomes easy for you to create programs that people in your target market are interested in. It becomes easy for you to stand out among the crowd and attract more clients as a result!

Here are three mistakes that service professionals make when building their lists and how to fix them:

Mistake #1: Inviting EVERYONE To Your List

Here is a mistake that I see many coaches, consultants and other service professionals make. They invite everyone to their lists – everyone they meet at networking events, on social networking web sites, etc.

As a result, their list consists of everyone, instead of people in their target market. As a result, their lists are very unresponsive. Since the people on their lists are not in their target markets, they are not interested in their products and services.

How to fix this: Use effective marketing strategies to strategically invite people in your target market to your list.

Mistake #2: Creating An Ineffective Free Gift

I have seen many professionals create what THEY thought was a good free gift. They spent many hours on creating the gift, and then they spent even more time on promoting this gift. However, while they invested a lot of time into this free gift, people in their target market weren’t signing up for this. Why was that?

The reason for this was that people in their target market weren’t interested in their free gift. So here is what to do so that this doesn’t happen to your free gift:

How to fix this: Create a free gift that people in your target market are interested in. Before you actually create this free gift do your research to find out what people in your target market are interested in learning about.

Mistake #3: Building Your List Once A Month

Some service professionals only build their lists once in a while. Thing is, list building is not a one-time event. Rather, it is a continuous process.

When you build your list every day, you create more awareness for your business, build your list much faster and get more clients.

How to fix this: Build your list every day!

To learn how to build a large list of people in your target market, join me for the Build Your List Teleseminar Series, during which you will learn how to build a list of people in your target market!

How To Use Article Marketing To Build Your List

 

Do you use article marketing to build your list? If you are not using article marketing for list building, you are missing out on extremely targeted prospects and clients.

I love using article marketing for list building. It is effective, it works great and you can use it to invite exactly people you want to invite to your list – people in your target market!

Now the question becomes: How do you do that? How do you invite people in your target market to join your list? Yo do that by writing articles on topics that are of interest to people that you want to invite to your list.

What is article marketing? Article marketing is the process of writing articles that people in your target market are interested in reading and then submitting them to article directories to be published. It is extremely important to write articles that are of interest to your target market, because that is another way to qualify your subscribers. When the topic of your article is of interest to people in your target market, people in your target market will read your articles and find out more about your newsletter.

Here is how to do this:

Write Articles That People In Your Target Market Want To Read

What is your goal? Your goal is to invite people in your target market to read your articles. And once they read your articles, you want to invite them to join your list.

The best way to do that is by writing articles that they want to read. After all, if your articles are not of interest to people in your target market, they will not read them, and they will not join your list.

Create An Effective Resource Box

When you submit your article to directories, your article will also include a Resource Box. Your Resource Box is a one-paragraph description of you and your business and a link back to your web site.

When your articles are published in article directories web site owners, newsletter publishers and bloggers are able to use your articles on their web sites and blogs and in their newsletters. When they reprint your article, your Resource Box is also reprinted, which means that a link back to your web site will potentially appear on other web sites, in blogs and in newsletters.

This means that to get more subscribers from your articles you must create a compelling Resource Box that convinces your article readers to subscribe to your newsletter!

Submit Your Articles To Article Directories

Nothing will happen until you actually submit your articles to article directories. Make sure to submit your articles to article directories on a regular basis, and you will be able to grow your list faster and easier!

Social Media Marketing: How To Use Social Media To Build Your List

 

How would you like to get more of your perfect clients to join your list? The great news is, social media marketing, such as using Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn to share information about your business will help you build your list!

Are you using Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to invite people to join your list? If you are using those social media web sites, but are not inviting people you meet there to join your list, you are missing on a huge source of prospects and clients.

Here are three things that you must do on social media web sites to invite more people on social media web sites to join your list:

Create Effective Social Media Profiles

Effective social media profiles are extremely important for getting results with social media. When you use your social networking profile to connect with your potential clients, you will get better results.

And don’t forget to include a link to your newsletter in your social media profile. If you do not have a link for people to click on in your profile, so that they can subscribe to your newsletter, how are they going to even know that you have a newsletter?

Remember, the best way to ensure that that NO ONE will subscribe to your newsletter is by not sharing a link to it. Make sure that your profile shares a link to your newsletter!

Become More Visible

When you are visible, more people will know about you and will be able to subscribe to your newsletter! Become visible by getting involved. Share information, share tips, connect and start building relationships with people you meet on those social networking web sites.

When you share tips, articles and ideas, people see them. And as they connect with you and learn from you, their natural next step is to learn a bit more about you through your profile. They will go to your profile, see information about your newsletter, and will click on the link to subscribe!

Share About Your Free Gift

Your profile is not the only place to let people know about your newsletter and the free gift that you are giving away to people who subscribe to your newsletter. People should also hear about your free gift from your status updates on Facebook and your tweets on Twitter.

Don’t just share about your free gift – you should also share tips, information and build relationships. When you balance status updates about your free gift with tips and information or interest to your target market, many more people will click on your links and subscribe to your newsletter.

How To Create A Free Gift That Attracts MORE Newsletter Subscribers

 

If you want to attract your perfect clients to your list, then you must create an effective giveaway, or a free gift.

What exactly is a free gift? A free gift is a high-value gift (a special report, an audio recording, an ecourse, etc), that you are giving away to your new newsletter subscribers in exchange for their subscribing to your newsletter.

Here is something to keep in mind: if the topic of your free gift is of REAL interest to the people you want to attract to your list, more people will join your list. If not, then many fewer will join.

I have seen so many service professionals failing at creating an effective free gift, because the topic they chose was not an effective topic. A lot of time service professionals create free gifts on the topics they are interested in, when what they should do is create free gifts on topics that their potential clients are interested in.

What is an effective topic for your free gift? An effective topic for your free gift is the topic that your target market really wants to know about. It is a question that your target market really wants answered, or it is a solution to an issue that your target market is experiencing. Your free gift HAS to be something that your target market really wants.

As soon as your target market learns about your free gift, you want them to say: “I REALLY Want This Gift!” and immediately sign up to get the free gift and get on your list.

And I have seen this happen many times. A service professional creates a free gift on a topic that she THINKS is a good topic, and starts promoting it. She spends hundreds of hours promoting this free gift, but since the topic is not of interest to the people she is inviting to get the gift, very few people request it and very few people get on her list.

If this is happening to you, if very few people are ever requesting your free gift, chances are they don’t really want it, which means you haven’t found a good topic for your free gift yet.

The good news is finding an effective topic for your free gift is not hard. What you are looking for is a topic that your target market is interested in, so how do you find it? Here are three different ways of doing just:

– You work with people who are in your target market. So what questions do they ask you? What do they want to know?

– Social Networking Web Sites, Facebook, Twitter – what do people in your target market talk about on those social networking web sites?

– Survey people who already are on your list to see what kind of topics they are interested in.

Once you find a topic that your people are really interested in, you will be able to create a product on that topic – a report, an ebook, an audio recording, and ecourse. And then, you will need to create a special page, called squeeze page, to outline the benefits of the free gift, give it away and have people sign up for it and get on your list.
