Calvin woon's Online Income Secrets Revealed!

FATAL ERROR #1: Hiding the most important information from your visitors

When people arrive on your website, you've got less than 10 SECONDS to prove you have the exact solution they're looking for.

Make sure you put ALL your most important information in the first fold of your homepage. This includes your headline (stating the biggest benefit of your product), your sub-headline (stating the second biggest benefit), your opt-in offer, and your navigation menu.

If you waste your visitors' time -- even for a second -- I guarantee the vast majority of them will leave your site and never come back. So much for making any sales!

FATAL ERROR #2: Including too many links on your site

Studies show that anywhere from 30% to 60% of your visitors drop off with every click you make them take. Yikes! Your visitors should be able to find all the information they're looking for right on your homepage.

Make sure your homepage includes your FULL sales message -- complete with benefits, testimonials, compelling bonuses, an iron-clad guarantee and a strong call to action that sends visitors straight to your order form!

FATAL ERROR #3: Confusing visitors with inconsistent site navigation

Imagine you're driving through town when you suddenly come upon a green stop sign. You'd have to think twice about what it meant, wouldn't you?

Navigation menus on websites are just like traffic signs on the road. They have to be consistent to be effective.

Make sure your navigation menu is exactly the same -- the same color, the same size, and in the same location -- on EVERY page of your site. After all, if your navigation ends up confusing people, they'll just leave... never to return!

FATAL ERROR #4: Driving away traffic with distracting links and banners

Don't drive potential buyers away from your site -- and to someone else's site -- by placing too many banners and ad links on your page. I'm talking about things like Amazon or AdSense ads. Sure, they can be effective when placed on a blog or straight-up content site where you're not working hard to get visitors to buy your main product.

But visitors to your main sales page should be thinking about only one offer -- YOURS!

For example, imagine you sell an eBook about dog training. Don't post a link to Amazon.com at the top of your homepage! Amazon has HUGE credibility, so most visitors looking for dog training information will go to Amazon, rather than buy from you.

FATAL ERROR #5: Wasting people's time with slow loading pages and graphics

Remember, you've got just 10 seconds to capture people's attention. If your homepage takes half that time just to load, your visitors will lose patience and go somewhere else.

To speed up your loading time, reduce the file size of your graphics, substitute colored text for graphics when possible, and limit the number of files you have for your site.

A very short post here..After having a content rich website, you'll definitely want to stay in touch with your readers so they will consistently get updated about your progress online. Blogs can help you with this! If you're not good at HTML, you can try livejournal it is user friendly and has plenty of pre-made templates available for u to set up your blog in 10 minutes and start posting immediately. However livejournal's functions is quite limited and you cannot edit the template much, unlike other blog hosts like bloggers. Some bloggers do earn extra cash through their blogs by posting advertisements from several companies like
1.adsense
2.Advertlets
Shall research more and have a longer post next time..CYA!=) Subscribe in a reader

or administrator is going to allow you to include
your signature after your post including your ad.

Moreover, link building shares the most number of
traffic generation to your site. The more you
create links, the higher you get traffic to your
site. How can we be assured of this? Link
Popularity refers to the number of incoming links
pointing to your site from other sites. So that
means, when you have left many links as you can
to as many sites associated to your niche, you
will just be amazed how traffic to your site
increases extremely. But be sure that you leave
your links to the same niche that your site
belongs. It is also very important that you
consider where market niche you leave your links.

Affiliate marketing is one of the ways to
advertise and drive traffic to a web-site. The
affiliate is mainly a web site owner who has some
visitors coming to his web site and who is
willing to promote merchant's products or
services in exchange for commissions. Affiliated
web site owner places banners or text links to an
online merchant web-site.

So, how does affiliate marketing work for your
website to generate more traffic effectively?

Apparently, when somebody becomes affiliate the
more you leave your link to your affiliate's
website. Affiliate marketing looks like extremely
attractive for most online merchant especially
because of the chance of high profits with an
investment of less than thousand dollars. As
such, a lot of marketers online prefer to join an
affiliate program because they just don't earn
money but also get lots of traffic online as easy
as slicing a cake.

After you've done your market research, make a choice of creating a content based website or a website that promotes affiliate products, you then need to design your own websites. This might be one of the main obstacles that most people face as many probably ain't familiar with HTML(Hyper Text Markup Language) and are put off by the idea of designing a website from scratch.

The good news is, you do not have to be a HTML expert to be successful online. In fact, you just need to know a few simple HTML and you can still be a successful internet marketer.Thanks to HTML editors that allow you to design a web page with little knowledge of HTML, and they are as easy to use as any basic word processor.

Remember, it's not about how fanciful the design/template of your website is but the content and value that you offer. Fresh new and interesting contents lead to traffic.And the basic websites that an internet marketer need to create are simple sales pages, squeeze pages, download pages and also a blog.

Even a plain simple layout is enough to attract a steady stream of visitors as long as it's easy to navigate. However, a web site should always have the following elements:

1. 'Contact Us Page' – This is the most essential step in establishing credibility. You have to provide an avenue for your customers to contact you. Examples of avenues are your E-mail address or your phone number. Customers are bound to have questions and may face problems with your products. Hence, you have to be able to provide prompt customer service and answer their every enquiries as well.

2. 'About Us' Page – People want to know who they are doing business with. Who would do business with some unknown people?So, do not attempt to hide behind your website. Be sure to include both your picture and reasons for creating your web site on this page.

3. Privacy Statement – This exists to explain how information on your site is collected, safeguarded and used. Including a privacy statement instills user confidence and trust and thus increases your web site conversion rate.People would only do business with reliable partners backed by honest backgrounds.

4. Consistent Navigation – Your web site's design layout should always be consistent for all pages to allow for easy navigation. If customers find it hard to navigate and find what they want, it is highly frustrating and chances are, they won't stay for long.

5. Opt-in box – You should always have an opt-in box (the one you normally enter your name and email to get free stuffs like an eBook) in your website. Not everyone will be convinced about your products and buy from you the first time they visit your web site, so it's important you capture their email addresses and names before they leave. It’s much easier to sell to someone who has already bought from you or know who you are. You should never let your potential customers slip away!

New internet marketers would often suggest that a low cost and an easy way out to start their internet business is to start a blog on free blogging platforms that you might have already heard of such as Blogger and Wordpress.The availability of RSS (Really Simple Syndication) in blogs allows readers to subscribe to the blog and be automatically updated when new content is added.
HOWEVER, i should say that both blogs and websites have their own unique features and functions.
Purchasing a domain name for your website ensures that your business is parked firmly and it builds reputation too as your own website will definitely look more professional than a free-hosting website with the same content.
