Just think about the numbers for awhile! More than 2 billion people are online right now…that's remarkable, isn't it?
Let's think about this for awhile…among those more than two billion people, how many of them have visited your Website and browsed the pages? Or how many of them purchased one of your products or services? Or your affiliate products or services? or your Internet Marketing campaign?
Seems very depressing, correct?
But don't be discouraged – because if you plan to create an Internet Marketing campaign, you'll have a much better opportunity of making contacts and establish relationship with a few more of those who visited your website!
So let's start by examining the four different stages people go through when visiting your Website when they're online responding to your Internet Marketing campaign. Although these people are classified in different ways, the four different basic stages can be described as:
First Stage: Just surfing
Second Stage: Planning to buying
Third Stage: Ready to buy
Let's begin taking up with the First Stage: Just Surfing
People who are in this stage are thinking for something when they visit your site or any other site. They want something – generally, right information – and they're possibly not aware about systematic keywords, or the description of a particular product or service. They're most likely using very generic one or two word searches to get substantial information about the topic or niche.
So, the best way to send a visitor to your Website through your is simply to provide them with abundance of general information in your Internet Marketing campaign. Like some methods of doing about:
• Writing articles about a specific and interesting topic
• Reviewing other people's products or services and posting them to your Blog
• Offering a free and very informative newsletter about the topic or niche
• Interviewing experts in the industry, or arranging to be interviewed.
• Conducting free teleseminars
• Doing weekly or monthly Podcasts
Your objective should be to provide lots of useful information. The more information you provide your visitor – the more they're going to remember you. And they will always think of you as they enter the buying cycle – and the more they believe YOU as the expert in your niche or industry - they will always respond quickly to your Internet Marketing campaign.
Now let's go to the Second Stage: Thinking about Buying
People who are in this stage of the buying cycle usually already have the information they need. They understand what they want, and now they're looking for reasons to justify why they should buy – they want to support their action with reason that they need it!
So to keep visitors who are thinking about buying, you must provide easy to get information of all the features of your product or service. If you're selling cell phones, for example, this is where you should have lots of customer reviews, descriptions of the different features and benefits of the product and adequately provide "how to" information.
For example, you want to make someone find out easily how they can buy your product or service, how you ship it, how much is the shipping cost, what is your guarantee and what is your return policy.
Always do this, because you want to give them the logical reasons for their purchase. But always remember that you need to show them always what your product or service is going to benefit them at the same time – so be subtle, but push the benefits always.
By answering their "how" questions, you encourage them to move through the buying cycle, and you also give them the guarantee that you're the one they want to do business with, because you've demonstrated to them how easy – and how secure – is the buying process.
Now, the Third Stage: Ready to Buy
People who are ready to buy will move through the sales process quickly and smoothly, if you've done your job correctly!
Here's how to attract visitors who are ready to buy to your website. You've given them the right information and you have satisfactorily answered their "what" and "how" questions and they feel great about making an intelligent decision. So now you appeal to your visitor's "emotional" plane.
On this stage, you start piling up all the information about the benefits and goodies and infuse the feeling of urgency!
Always make sure to give your visitors "future images" to get them thinking about the benefits of your product or service, and how it would make them happy and satisfied.
Here are a couple of concrete examples: For example if you're selling lawn services, , you're not actually selling a greener lawn. You're selling pride in them, in their home, being envied by all of all their neighbors because of their beautiful yard!
Or if you're selling dental care services, you're really not selling tooth extraction and replacement. You're selling sex appeal, and beauty and being instantly more attractive to the opposite sex, having well-balanced teeth.
You're appealing to the person's basic needs to look nice and to make people think that you care about themselves, about way they look and feel.
See how easy is that?
So, you pile on the reight information about the benefits. Always remember to take all the burden from the buyer's shoulders. Offer a reliable guarantee – and always be very clear about what is exactly your guarantee. Give them the right information.
Always add a sense of urgency to the offer – something needs to be bound by time – or of insufficient quantity. (People hate thinking that they're going to miss out on a bargain.) This is very essential in your Internet Marketing campaign.
And add enough relevance and benefits that your visitor feels like they'd be very unfortunate to miss out on your offer.
That's really all it takes to be. By following these simple steps, you'll be able to turn those frustrating internet marketing blues into a "Happy and Joyful!" song as you watch people visit your Website – and buy - and come back to buy again – and your sales – hit the high pitch!
