Internet Exposure is Crucial for Name Recognition

A spokesman atrepparttar 135870 National Speakers Association ( http://www.nsaspeaker.org ) indicated that, "Nearly all our members have a website, anymore. It’s a huge part of their differentiation." Information that can be posted onrepparttar 135871 speaker’s website is miles ahead of a traditional brochure to highlight their message and qualifications. Websites can be kept up to date, and eliminaterepparttar 135872 delays of mailing materials to prospects. Not to mention, people can find you through search engine queries related to your specialized topics.

A typical speaker isn’t satisfied to appear only on their own site. Many promote their services on other websites, too - expert sites, websites maintained by their agents or publishers, and resource sites related to their forte. The Internet shines when it comes to reaching targeted groups -repparttar 135873 very people you want to know about you. Also, you can controlrepparttar 135874 niches or organizations you reach by where you submit your material.

Simply listing your topics or programs can’t conveyrepparttar 135877 depth of your message. The 600 to 800 word length is longer than a sound-bite, providing a realistic sample of your expertise - like a mini-speech. Your signature (Sig) atrepparttar 135878 end provides your short ad.

Imagine this. The article you write this morning can be submitted to hundreds of places this afternoon. And within a few days it appears on numerous websites, ezines, and search engines. Before a world-wide readership!

7 Ways to Increase Web Site Visitors and Boost Sales

Written by Herman Drost


Have you spent a lot of money on advertising withrepparttar expectation that you would get many sales fromrepparttar 135793 1000s of web site visitors that read your ad?

Have you poured money into driving traffic to your web site, only to have no one buying your product?

Maybe you have seenrepparttar 135794 ads, “Get 10,000 visitors to your site, for only $20” . Wow, you think, that’s a great bargain, I’ll go for it. The result – 10 people visiting your site and no one buying. What’srepparttar 135795 problem? You have not effectively targeted your customers. Your field of customers is too large. Most of them are not interested in your product. You need to zero in onrepparttar 135796 person that wants, needs and thirsts for your product.

How do I find my targeted customers?

1. Place yourself in your customers shoes. There’s an Indian saying that goes something like:

“You must walk a mile in my shoes, before you can understand me".

For example, if I am selling a weight loss product, I would not be targeting skinny people, but targeting those that are overweight.

2. Make a thumb nail sketch of this person

Who is your customer? What are her wants, needs and desires?

Try to understand how they think. Understanding what problems they have, will give you a clearer idea of what to offer them.

For example, let’s make a sketch of a typical overweight person: 30-50 years old Out of shape Probably married with children Under a lot of pressure, tight for time, stressed Looking for ways to improve health and wealth Lack of self esteem

3. Develop a product that addresses one or more of their needs. Always refer back to your thumbnail sketch as you write for your site. Elaborate onrepparttar 135797 points that fit your product and what it delivers. As you start writing, new ideas will naturally emerge, but always keep them focused on your targeted customer so you won’t go offrepparttar 135798 track of what your customer wants.
