Sell Yourself First...your Key To More Sales

Selling on the internet is a challenge. There is noway to come "face to face" with your potential buyer. That visitor is unlikely to buy from you on the first visit. It's likely to take several visits and contactsbefore they throw down that cash or credit card.

So, how do you build enough trust in a visitor to make them a customer who will press that "buy" button?

Well, here are some tips on getting started withbuilding trust among your site's visitors.

Put a picture of yourself on your site. Heck, itdoesn't even have to be a current one. It can belike mine at: http://www.bizsitebiz.com/larryjohnson.jpg .When my wife saw that she said, "Who is that?"

Have an "About me" page on your site. Let them know how long you have been working on line anda little bit about you and how you do business.

My "About me" page on ebay.com tells my biddersa little bit of information to build some trust beforethey place a bid. http://snipurl.com/c8z3

Use autoresponders with a series of messages to remind them who you are and what you offer.Include some helpful advice or tips. There are lots if fr*ee ones around like:

http://www.freeautobot.com/
http://www.sendfree.com/
http://www.getresponse.com/

Give some real testimonials from satisfied customers."Ask the man who owns one", is a great sales approach that still works.

Use a virtual domain name like: (www.mybizplace.com/) (not a real URL). To build credibility, avoid fr*ee sites and hosting that can make you seem less serious about your business.

Give them a real guar*antee for your products or services. Very few will really take advantage ofit, but they will feel much better about purchasingfrom you when you offer it.

Give them a fr*ee sample/first chapter/ etc. This iscalled the "puppy dog" approach. Let them take ithome for a few days and most of the time they willjust have to keep it.

Building trust is not an easy obstacle to overcome. It is likely to take a number of different approaches to make your site visitor comfortable with you and your offer.

Best of luck with your promotional efforts.

Teach Yourself Css The Easy Way
I taught myself HTML back in the mid-nineties and was proud of the fact that I was able to accomplish the design of fairly complex web pages with nothing more than a starter HTML book, an HTML reference book, and the knowledge I had stored in my head. But back in those days, we web designers had what looking back was a fairly limited amount of tools with which to work, and the quality (or lack thereof) of sites on the web was lackluster at best.Fast-forward to...(related: Web Design)

Keep Them Coming Back - Update Your Site
If you are anything like me, your website is a reflection of yourself. It contains your thoughts and communications, exposed to the entire world at all times. Look at virtually any non-commercial web site and you will get a glimpse at the person behind the monitor.I look at web sites all day long, and I am constantly amazed by the things that people reveal about themselves without saying anything. Is the website well organized or just a jumble of images and text thrown up at a moments notice? Is the site alive with color ...(related: Web Design)

Creating A Favicon
Once, I attempted to create a favicon (the little graphic in the URL address box) for this Web site, but never did finish the work until now. I used a free program that allowed me to copy and paste an image to create an icon, but I believe it has spyware so I won't share its name. There are many icon creators out there.In Photoshop (or whatever drawing program you have), I created a 16x16 pixel workspace. Added what I wanted in the icon (never could come up wi...(related: Web Design)
