How
to Maximize your Success |
Give
it Your Seal of Approval
If you really want people to sign up for Bizhosting, give
it your personal seal of approval. Everybody knows that
word of mouth advertising is the most effective form of
advertising. So you shouldn't be surprised to learn that
a written recommendation works far better on the Internet
than any pre-made graphic. If you've tried Bizhosting
and liked it, then tell your visitors what you liked about
it. Affiliates that personally recommend our product instead
of using a pre-made banner ad enjoy 400-500% higher sales. |

Works Better than Banners
People are so accustomed to seeing banners, that many
people just tune them out altogether. Text links, on the
other hand, can be integrated right into the content of
your web site. Text is easier to customize, easier to
experiment with, and easier to fit into any web site,
regardless of its layout. It also doesn't take up any
of your "banner spots" so you are still free
to sell your traditional spots to other advertisers. |
Speak
their Language
It
would be impossible for us to create a banner ad to
reach every individual in the world and talk to their
specific interest. It would even be difficult to make
a banner for every kind of store that a person could
build on Bizhosting. But if you have a site that is
specific to people with a specific interest, you can
easily write a few lines of text that helps them understand
how Bizhosting could be useful to them. You wouldn't
talk to webmasters the same way you talk to your grandmother,
so you must tailor your message to the person you are
talking to.
For
example, if I were talking to a E-commerce expert, my
pitch might go like "Bizhosting includes a product
catalog, shopping cart, and merchant account, with advanced
features like database upload, customizeable templates,
and UPS, FEDEX, and USPS integrated shipping tables,
all for only $14.95/month." But my Aunt, that makes
home-made quilts to sell at the county fair and craft
shows wouldn't know what any of those terms mean. For
her I would say "Sell your handmade quilts over
the Internet. You don't have to be a computer genius
to start an online quilt store and begin taking orders.
Bizhosting makes it easy!"

Get
Specific
Although
you might be afraid to get too specific and limit the
number of people interested in what Bizhosting has to
offer, being specific is great for sales. You might
interest a smaller percentage of people, but the people
who you interest are far more likely to buy. If your
site is geared to a specific audience, for example "hand
made crafts", instead of just putting a general
banner on your site that says "Build a free store
at Bizhosting.com", you might try making your own,
more specific pitch such as "Make money selling
your hand made crafts. Its easier than you think. Click
here to learn how."
You
may also want to focus on a specific feature of Bizhosting
that you think appeals to your audience. Most people
don't realize that Bizhosting is one of the only places
on the internet right now that allows an individual
to easily accept and process credit cards with no extra
monthly fee. A normal person can get approved instantly
using only their SS#, and start processing credit card
orders the same day. So if you were to focus on that
feature, you might say "Think how many more quilts
you could sell if you could accept credit cards. Click
here to learn more"

Experiment
until you get it right
If
you create a message that you think will work, but you
don't get the results you were expecting, try changing
your message. We usually find that regardless of the message
a certain percentage of people will always sign up for
our service. But even though the product and all the pages
on our site stay the same, simply changing the message
that people clicked on to come to bizhosting can increase
that percentage up to 500%. We recommend giving each message
at least a week, before you decide you need to change
it (depending on your site's traffic). Feel free to experiment
until you find what works. And feel free to ask us if
you need some help! |

We want you to be successful because your success
is our success. We have done our best to create a great
service at a great price, and believe that the more people
