Testing Your Sales Page is Critical to The Success of Your Online Business

The success of online businesses greatly depends on the potency of every product’s sales page.  A poorly written sales page will not be able to transform visitors into customers.  You may be generating thousands upon thousands of visitors per day, but if your sales page is not equipped with the right components to convert casual onlookers into sales, such traffic would be wasted.

It’s All About The Sales Page

Conversion Optimization
Hence, many online businessmen spend thousands of dollars – literally and on a per project basis – to hire the best copywriters in the World Wide Web.  These veteran copywriters employ all manners of high impact copy writing to come up with a sales letter that truly converts.

But is such a guarantee that the sales page they will come up with will truly open the gates to monumental profit?

Not necessarily, because a great part of the ultimate success of your online business depends on you.

In your shoulders lie the responsibility of testing and fine-tuning your sales page.

Why Do You Have to Test Your Sales Page?

A sales page, to be effective, must be able to satisfy the following requisites:

- It must be able to capture the interest of your audience from the very first sentence;
- It must be able to sustain the interest of your audience until the very last word;
- It must be able to create a compelling fear on the part of your audience, one which will be enough to make them feel that they need a solution, and fast;
- It must be able to introduce your product really well, meaning, all the beneficial features of your product should be represented and that your product should be seen in a way that it will be viewed as the BEST solution to the problem;
- It must be able to win the trust of your audience; and
- It must contain effective calls to action that will compel your audience to act as soon as possible.

These are requisites that are not solely based on you nor your copywriter.  The satisfaction of these requisites depends on the interaction of your audience with the sales page that you will prepare.  And this interaction can only be gained once your sales page goes live and once people actually start visiting and reading the same.

Hence, there is an extreme need to test your sales page as it goes live.

How to Test Your Sales Page

Testing your sales page will require a close analysis of the traffic it will be able to generate.  Where is your traffic coming from?  The answers to this question will tell you a lot about the efficacy of your marketing campaigns.  Are your prospects generated by your affiliates, by your advertisements, by your articles, by your viral tools?  Which sources fare well?  Which do not and may be in need of further focus?

This should be the first consideration in testing your sales page: to determine if it is actually pulling in the readership you need.

Once such is determined, it will be time to determine the conversion rate of the same.

How many visitors are you generating?  How many of them decide to make some purchases?  The ratio is called the conversion rate.  The higher the conversion rate, the more potent your sales page is.  A high conversion rate means your sales page is capable of transforming visitors into sales, after all.

This can only be determined by a close study of the viral statistics appurtenant to the conduct of your sales page once it goes live.  If the sales page fails to strike a high conversion rate despite the monster traffic you’re generating, then something is terribly wrong with it and it must be pulled out in exchange for a more improved, or entirely different, version.

This is a process that should continue until you pull in the conversion rate necessary for the sustainable success of your online enterprise.

Beginner’s Guide To AdSense, Improving CTR

It’s not enough that you generate a lot of visitors to your website.  If those visits do not convert into clicks, then your AdSense campaign is doomed.  It’s not automatic that every visitor to your website will click on your ads.  No.  That will be a critical error to assume as such. The simple solution would seem to be: lead visitors into clicking the ads displayed on your pages.

Copy Writing Crash Course - Part 2

Modeling And Learning If we are to be witty about it, learning copy writing is not only about the “writing.”  A good part of it is also about the “copy.”  By “copy,” I mean the act of imitating or mimicking something that is already in existence. No, I don’t mean that you should become a fraud and steal ideas left and right. Performance Marketing Agency What I want to say is that you should take time to study excellent sales copies, learn the methods that are used, and develop your own style by patterning your thought processes in accordance with the ideas behind proven sales letters. This is what copywriters have labeled as modeling.  And it is not something that is limited to novices to the craft.  Even veteran copywriters practice the same.  The importance of modeling cannot be undermined.  Modeling can help anyone upgrade their skills. Why Is Modeling Important? The greatest sculptors in history needed human models to copy....
