This article is very important. In fact, chances are it will give you more sales from your website. Now I'm not suggesting you're low on sales but we could all do with more sales right?
I first started using this word on my website about a year ago. Using word changed whole focus of my website, my business and my life!
Sounds unbelievable doesn't it?
But it's not, it's entirely true and I want to share it with you.
You want to know what this word is don't you? Okay then - no more messing around then.
This word is reason you are reading this article and reason you carried on reading after first paragraph. Have you guessed it already? The single most important word you need to use on your homepage is "YOU"!.
You. You. You.
Using 'YOU' Brings Success
Using word 'you' on your homepage can have dramatic effects on how effective your website is at converting visitors into enquiries and sales. Using word 'YOU' gets across your business' message in only way that truly works - from customer's point of view.
Now you might be thinking this is all obvious stuff. And it is! But just remember to look at next few homepages you visit and see how many site owners are not following this simplest but most effective of rules.
Most businesses fall into trap of wording things in this way:
"We provide such and such a product. We are industry-leaders.. We are based in .."
What you should be doing is changing entire angle and 'voice' of your website around from an anonymous corporate 'brochure-type-speak' into a more personal YOU-focused angle. Take a look at my homepage and you'll see what I mean - www.websitemarketingbible.com . Now take a look at your homepage - how many 'YOU's have you got on your page?
So Why Is Using 'YOU' So Important?
Because YOU are most important thing in YOUR universe. You don't want to hear about me, my company, what we do or what our strengths are - you want to hear what's in it for YOU.
Studies show that you should have around 70% of all sales and marketing literature comprised of words like 'YOU', 'YOUR', 'YOURS' etc. This might seem like an uphill struggle at first and your initial attempts might not read too well but you will soon get hang of it.
