In my previous articles, I have talked about some of the factors that you need to consider when it comes to creating a website. Now, I want to talk about some of the facts that you need to know about a landing page. Follow me as we are going to look at that together in this article.
 

Facts about a Landing Page

A Landing page is a web page that appears to the visitor after clicking the links in the search engine result page or any other traffic source outside the website. That tells you that you have to make sure that your content communicates the message that you are trying to pass across. You do not know the actual link that will generate traffics for your website.

Traffic sources that I am talking about might include Pay Per Click (PPPC Ads), search marketing campaigns, banner ads or sponsored graphics, links in an email, blog links or sidebars. It can also be pages that display information that is related to particular keyword research as well.

Please note that the main objective of a landing page is to convert visitors to customers. Therefore it must have the information that customers’ needs to decide whether they would like to go for a particular keyword or not.

Also, the landing page allows visitors to download content such as eBooks, whitepapers, webinars or signup forms for free trials or demos of your products.

We can also categorize landing pages into two types:

#1 Transactional Pages

This page encourages the customer to take some desired actions such as filling forms, interacting with objects on a page among others.

#2 Reference Page

This provides information such as text, images, graphics, sounds, and links among others to the visitor who has clicked on that link.

Also, you need to understand that pages that are indexed by Search Engines are also referred to as Landing Pages as well. Also, you need to understand that the more content that you have on your website, the more the possibility of your website being discovered on Search Engines.

Also, when you are setting up a landing page, you need to give appropriate keywords and phrases to show up your website in search engine results.

In addition, landing pages gives the visitors exactly what they are looking for when they enter your website and help the website owner to track their website performance. This will allow them to make all the necessary adjustments that they need to take in order for their website to perform better.

Furthermore, using landing pages for pay per click campaigns helps to track and measure the performance of the campaign. This will allow you to determine whether you should continue to run a particular campaign or you need to make adjustments to your campaigns. Please note that landing pages are effective ways of increasing your traffic and search engine ranking for your website.

How To Create Landing Pages…

There are some steps that you need to follow when you need to create landing pages for a website. Here are the steps.

First, you need to understand that headers should comprise the offer, actions required to grab that offer and the benefits of getting the offer. You also need to draw customer’s attention by keeping exciting headers, such as Download, Try it among others.

Take, for example, you have this call to action:

Download the Guide For Internet Marketing.

The guide is the offer.
The download is the action required to perform.
Internet Marketing Material is the benefit.

Also, you need to keep the information interesting, short and meaningful. You need to understand that every visitor wants a benefit after filling the download form for free download of whitepapers or tools.

You also need to ensure that information provided by you is worthy of customers.

By and large, you need to keep the information short with bullet points that highlight the offers. Highlighting the offer will allow your prospects to explicitly look at the offer one after the other and decide whether it is a product they would like to have or not. You also need to understand that, most times, customers might not have the time to read the entire content from the beginning to the end.

Also, the bullet points should give information about the benefits the visitors gets after filling out the form and downloading it successfully.

Also, you need to design a short download or subscription form so that whoever visits your landing page can subscribe to your blog updates. You need to ensure that your download page does not have excessive columns. You have to obtain only the required information that you need to know about the customer.

Some of these include:

• Form title comprises of actions required to perform by the visitor.
• Keep less than seven fields in the form.
• A simple thank you email with a link to download an offer should be sent to the visitor after completion of filling the form.

#1 Keep the content above the fold

Visitors should not have to scroll down before they can see the form that you want them to fill. The reason being that not all of them will read your content from the beginning to the end.

#2 Keep an image

You need to place images that are appropriate for the offer on the landing page. This will definitely help the visitors to visualize the offer that you are giving them.

You can place the image either on the presentation or on the cover of the eBook that you are presenting to your target audience.

#3 Remove links and navigation bars

Also, when you are creating your landing page, you need to remove every links and navigation bar. This is to allow the prospect to concentrate on the offer that you have at hand, you should never include links that will take him or her to another page. The only link that should be present is the link that will take your customers to the page where they can pay for the products or services.

#4 Carry out blink test

There is a need for you to carry out a blink test on the landing page. Within the blink, the visitor should know about the offer, benefits, and what they have to do in order to get that offer.

You need to understand people stay on a page for just a few seconds to grab their attention. Therefore, you really need to keep the offer short and simple and clear.

#5 Redirect to a Thank you page

There is a need for you to redirect the visitor to a Thank you page after they have finished filling the signup form on your landing page.

Also, your Thank You message should contain a concise message, links and supporting links that will benefit the customers. Above all, there is a need for you to engage the customer in order to understand the kind of products and offers they will be interested in.

#6 Share buttons

There is a need for you to add social media share icons so that your audience can share the offer with their friends across social media platforms. This will help you to generate more leads.

There is a possibility that your prospect may share to their followers, as a result exposing your brand to many people as well.

In my previous article, I have looked at some of the facts that you need to consider when it comes to creating an effective website. In this article, I want to look at some of the best practices for effective landing pages. In my previous articles, I have also said that the landing page is the first page that you see when you come to a website. I also said the website should be designed in such a way that it can convert prospects to customers and increase the conversion rate on a website. Follow me as we are going to look at that together in this article. 

#1 Matching Ad copy

When you are creating your content, you need to ensure that the Ads you have created matches your landing page. You should not make any attempt to deceive your audience into clicking your ads. For example, if you advertised about cats, make sure that your landing page also talks about cats as well. This will boost the confidence of your audience in your content. 

#2 CTA Above the fold 

Your Call To Action is the step that you would like your audience to take after they might have read your content. You need to make sure that the CTA is displayed where the audience will not have to scroll down before they can see it. This will increase the conversion rate for the landing page. Also, you can make use of Pop Up but some have argued that Google does not like pop up. Please tell me what you feel about this in the comment box.

#3 Primary Headline

Also, when it comes to creating the landing page, you have to make sure that the primary headline on the landing page matches the ad campaign. From the title of the ad campaign, users should have an idea of what you are expecting them to do.

I have said that some of the audience will not have the time to go through the entire landing page. You need to make sure that the messages are clear from the beginning so that your audience will know what you are expecting of them.

#4 No unnecessary links 

In addition, when you are creating an effective landing page for your website, you need to make sure that all unnecessary links that will not contribute to the purpose of the website are removed. You need to also hide the Tabs that are normally available on your website. Those links are capable of distracting your audience. The only link that should be available on the page is those that lead to the payment page for the product. 

#5 No Tabs

Also, as part of the measures to increase the conversion rate on your landing page, you need to make sure that there are no Tabs on the landing page.

Having Tabs on the website that leads to other pages on your website other than the sales page will distract your customers and reduce patronage from that landing page, You need to make sure that those Tabs are hidden so that customers can concentrate on the product that they would like to buy from your website.

#6 Concise content

It is also advisable that your content should be simple and straightforward. There is no need for you to be beating about the bush when you are trying to make sales. You should avoid using complicated languages and sentences. An average reader should be able to understand the message that you are trying to pass across to your target audience. 

#7 Page alignment 

Also, when you are creating a landing page for your website you need to make sure that all pages and contents as well as paragraphs on the website aligned with one another. Al the elements of the pages must work together towards converting prospects to customers and increasing the conversion rate on the website.

#8 Graphics 

There is one thing that is very common when it comes to website creation, people love to see graphics and video, This will also them to have a deeper understanding of how the product actually works. You need to include graphics and videos on the pages.

If possible, make sure that the page also includes testimonials of people that have used the products and services that you have to offer.  This will definitely increase the conversion rate on your website.

#9 Keep Clients Testimonials 

One thing is common when it comes to buying products and services online, online customers will always want to hear what previous customers are about to say about the project. They tend to believe what those people have to say more than what you have to tell them. That is why, in order to generate more sales, you need to keep client testimonials.

Also, you do not have to put the testimonials of people that have bad recommendations about your products and services. Remember., it is your website, You have the right to decide on what you keep and what you discard.

#10 Social Sharing buttons

There is a for you to also add a social sharing button to your website. This will allow other prospects to share the offer with there friends on social media platforms. Putting a social sharing button on your landing page will also allow you to get new customers through existing customers. It is a cool way to reach a more target audience without breaking the bank.

#11 Optimise 

Another factor that you need to consider when to comes to creating a landing page is to optimise your landing page for appropriate keywords. You need to ensure that you place a premium on search engine optimization when you are creating a landing page. With time, if you are consistent, it will be possible for you to be getting traffic to your landing page without much hassle. 

#12 Phone number and logo

There is a need for you to also add a phone number and logo to your landing page. This will definitely increase your branding identity. When your logo is added, it will leave a lasting impression in the mind of your audience.

There is a high tendency that such customers who do not buy your product knowledge will definitely come back and purchase your products and services at a future date. 

#12 Subscription form 

Also, just like I said in my previous article, you need to add a short subscription form on your website so that you can get vital information from your prospects. This will allow you to keep this information and enrol them in your drip program. As you continue to send them that information, it will allow you and your product to continue to resonate in the mind of your audience. 

13 Compare the actuals

Also, when it comes to the working of your website, there is a need for you to compare what you intend to achieve through the landing page and what you actually achieved at the end of it all. If this is done regularly, it will allow you to take the necessary steps that will drive you towards your goals. You will be able to determine whether your strategy is working or not. 

#14 Mobile responsive

When it comes to accessing the internet, you should know that most people will be accessing your landing page from mobile phones, that is why you need to create a landing page that is mobile responsive.

They should not have any inside reading the content or purchasing the product and making payment. All these should be done seamlessly from the prospect’s mobile phone., This will definitely increase the conversion rate for the landing page. 

#15 Localise the page

Also, when it comes to the creation of landing pages and campaigns, you need to localise the contents of the page. You have to make sure that the contents of the pages are presented in a simple language that the prospects can understand. You should also try to identify the benefits of using the products to the user. When you present scenarios that they can relate to, it will increase the response rate from the users.

A website with solid SEO genetics, a Search Engine-friendly infrastructure, fresh and original content, and a good hyperlink-building strategy will rank well in Search Engines. Any successful SEO campaign must start with these SEO fundamentals. A website must be Search Engine Friendly and have a brilliant balance of a beautiful and engaging design, as well as user-friendly functionality to offer a return on investment.

According to studies, just a small percentage of individuals browse past the first few pages of search results. It’s pointless to create a beautiful website that can’t be found on search engines. Here are five SEO fundamentals to help you optimize your site.

#1 Conduct Keyword Research.

The foundation of your website navigation and SEO strategy is keyword research. Keyword research is a technique used by SEO experts to identify and investigate the actual search phrases individuals use when conducting a search. Keyword research isn’t limited to the use of keyword research software. There are various methods for conducting keyword research:

• Using Google Analytics to analyze your own data;
• Focus groups, for example, are a type of market research.
• Websites for social networking;
• Competitive research and analysis
• Tests of usability or landing pages.

#2  Technical Infrastructure 

Your basic keyword research should be used to create an SEO-friendly technical infrastructure for your website. You must find a balance between having a Search Engine friendly architecture and having a visually appealing design that attracts users. It’s critical to hire an Ecommerce SEO firm early on in the design phase to guarantee that the final product is optimized for search engines.

#3 Write SEO-Friendly Content

Search engines favour websites that are updated on a regular basis with unique and entertaining material. You must also strike a balance between optimizing a web page for specific keywords while keeping the content appealing to your customers. Both Search Engine crawlers and customers must find web pages appealing.

After you’ve settled on a keyword theme for your pages based on keyword research, you need to keep that theme in mind when creating on-page elements.  These are some of them:

• Important keywords should be placed near the beginning of the title tag, with word counts aiming for 10-12 words.
• Tags in the meta description: This is a cheat sheet for Search Engines to utilize as summary text (below the title) when a page is indexed.
• H1 and H2 headings: Make sure your main keyword or keyword phrase appears at the top of the heading, ideally at the beginning. Use one H1 heading on each page to draw attention to the most relevant keywords on that page in search engines, and H2-H5 headings to optimize for secondary phrases – make sure these are utilized as subheadings.

#4 Link-Building Strategy

Backlinks are links from other websites that point back to yours. As your website is validated by other sites linking back to it, the more backlinks you have, the higher your pages will be ranked.
Search Engines will examine the reputation and relevance of the site linking back to you, as well as the “anchor text” (the words that the link is embedded behind) in the links to your site when calculating the line.

There are a variety of ways to get others to link back to your website, including:

• Creating outstanding content that other websites will want to link to.
• Submitting your blog to blog directories.
• Composing blog comments on industry-related news.
• Taking part in discussion boards.
• Composing guest posts.

Internal link techniques are also vital for SEO. However, don’t utilize too many internal links in your material; instead, connect to a small number of relevant pages. The higher the value of each link on a page, the fewer links there are.

#5 Keep Track of Your SEO efforts

SEO is a continuous process that helps you maintain or increase your search engine ranking. Search engines are constantly updating their algorithms in order to increase the reliability of web searches for users. It’s critical to stay watchful and track your continuing SEO efforts. This can be accomplished by:

• Continual SEO fine-tuning of your website, including title, description, alt, and keyword tags reviews.
• Evaluating the performance of your keyword strategy and focusing on fresh keyword phrases.
• Adding innovative and distinctive content on a regular basis.
• Concentrating on link-building techniques.

10 Major Steps To Create an E-Commerce Website

There are many websites and blogs that are created daily across the globe. The truth of the matter is not all websites that survive their first year. I know of many people that created their websites and buy their domains through my Qservers Affiliate links but not a single one of them was able to renew their domains. This is also one of the factors that affected me in the early years of my blogging career. I seem not to know what to do to run a successful blog. In this article, my focus is not on blogging. I want to talk about how to create an e-commerce website. The one that will stand the test of time.

I want to say this is going to be a mother article. I will try to write some subsequent posts that will explain some of the points that I Have in this article better. Please, you need to read all those articles that will follow this article. I am sure it will assist you in running a successful e-commerce website.

#1 Plan your website
The very first that you need to consider when you want to run a successful website is to have adequate planning. You need to consider the product that you intend to sell and how you intend to sell it. You need to consider the design of the website. Will your website be built inside or do you plan to use a third party? It is also important to consider the capital available to you to set up the site. All this will guide you to decide on what is and what will not be part of the website.

#2 E-commerce template
The next step that you need to consider is to decide on where to buy your e-commerce template. Whichever way you have decided whether to buy your template in-house or to contract the design of your website to a third party, they will still need to buy a template.

These templates are sometimes modified in order to suit your needs. I can say that the amount you have will determine what type of template you can afford. You can also decide to start small and upgrade as soon as you start making money from your e-commerce website.

#3 Right domain name
It has happened to me before. There are many of us that concluded and we just jumped into choosing a domain name and we later regretted that we have not taken our time to think through it. You need to really take some thoughtful action when you are choosing your domain name.

The domain name can revolve around the product you sell and it can also revolve around the organization setting up the e-commerce website.

 A good example is the Amazon website. It revolves around the organization’s name and we all know Amazon has become a household name when it comes to building an e-commerce website. They are also leveraging that name to introduce other products and services as well.

#4 Web hosting company
I once organized a successful office launch for my company and I was busy looking for where I can accommodate participants that come from outside my state. A thought later came to my mind to host them in my house. But to my amazement, my house was rejected become of the problem of internet connectivity.

That is also what you need to consider as someone that wants to run an online business. You should choose a hosting company that is reputable and has at least 99 percent uptime.

You can allow your business to be ruined because the hosting company you have chosen cannot keep their server on or they have other issues that can threaten the existence of your website.

#5 Develop a website
The next step that you need to take after you might have decided on the hosting company that you want to use is to actually develop your website and begin to plan how the actual commencement of the e-commerce will take place.

You can decide to do the development in-house or give it to a third party to help you out. This largely depends on whether you have the required expertise to guarantee that a good job will be done at the end of the day.

#6 Develop contents
After your e-commerce website might have been up and running, you then need to decide on how you are going to develop the contents of your website. As they say, content is king, you need to ensure that at all times you are feeding the search engine with fresh content.

This will guarantee that your website will keep on appearing on the Search Engine Result Page. This will guarantee that organic traffics are coming to your website.

You need to make sure that good content is created and that the contents are good enough to convert prospects to customers. From the contents, they should be able to decide on whether they are interested in the products or not. This will help you to maximize the Return on Investment on your website.

#7 Secure the website
When you are running an e-commerce website, you need to know that you will be dealing with a lot of sensitive data. It is very possible that customers will be coming to your websites to buy your products and services.

They will have to enter their card information and other details. You need to make sure that you invest in infrastructures to secure your customer data. This is necessary to protect them so that it will not damage your customer’s reputation.

#8 Integrate online payment
Also, you need to understand that your e-commerce website is your online store. You have to ensure that your customers can start and finish their transactions online.

You need to make sure that payment systems are integrated into the e-commerce website so that it will be easy for customers to pay for products that they have purchased.

 It is also essential that you make more than one payment method available to your customers who might wish to purchase your products and services as well.

#9 Test the website
As part of your efforts towards the official launching of your website. There is a need for you to test your website in order to be sure that everything works the way they supposed to work.

You have to test the speed of the website. You should test the Tabs and different links that you have included in your content. You need to ensure that the contents are loading the right contents.

This will reinforce in the mind of your audience that you truly care about their experience on your e-commerce website.

#10 Promote the website
After you might have created your website, you should strive to promote such a website. You might not really expect large patronage when you just create a website and you leave it to fate.

You need to budget for campaigns and the creation of awareness programs in order to spread the word out that your website is now active. It is also important that you include share buttons and email marketing so that your existing customers can become your brand advertisers.

There are many websites and blogs that are created daily across the globe. The truth of the matter is not all websites survive their first year. I know of many people that created their websites and buy their domains through my Qservers Affiliate links but not a single one of them was able to renew their domains.

The domain name can revolve around the product you sell and it can also revolve around the organization setting up the e-commerce website.

 A good example is the Amazon website. It revolves around the organization’s name and we all know Amazon has become a household name when it comes to building an e-commerce website. They are also leveraging that name to introduce other products and services as well.

#4 Web hosting company

I once organized a successful office launch for my company and I was busy looking for where I can accommodate participants that come from outside my state. A thought later came to my mind to host them in my house. But to my amazement, my house was rejected become of the problem of internet connectivity.

That is also what you need to consider as someone that wants to run an online business. You should choose a hosting company that is reputable and has at least 99 percent uptime.

You can allow your business to be ruined because the hosting company you have chosen cannot keep their server on or they have other issues that can threaten the existence of your website.

#5 Develop a website

The next step that you need to take after you might have decided on the hosting company that you want to use is to actually develop your website and begin to plan how the actual commencement of the e-commerce will take place.

You can decide to do the development in-house or give it to a third party to help you out. This largely depends on whether you have the required expertise to guarantee that a good job will be done at the end of the day.

#6 Develop contents

After your e-commerce website might have been up and running, you then need to decide on how you are going to develop the contents of your website. As they say, content is king, you need to ensure that at all times you are feeding the search engine with fresh content.

This will guarantee that your website will keep on appearing on the Search Engine Result Page. This will guarantee that organic traffics are coming to your website.

You need to make sure that good content is created and that the contents are good enough to convert prospects to customers. From the contents, they should be able to decide on whether they are interested in the products or not. This will help you to maximize the Return on Investment on your website.

#7 Secure the website

When you are running an e-commerce website, you need to know that you will be dealing with a lot of sensitive data. It is very possible that customers will be coming to your websites to buy your products and services.

They will have to enter their card information and other details. You need to make sure that you invest in infrastructures to secure your customer data. This is necessary to protect them so that it will not damage your customer’s reputation.

#8 Integrate online payment

Also, you need to understand that your e-commerce website is your online store. You have to ensure that your customers can start and finish their transactions online.

You need to make sure that payment systems are integrated into the e-commerce website so that it will be easy for customers to pay for products that they have purchased.

 It is also essential that you make more than one payment method available to your customers who might wish to purchase your products and services as well.

#9 Test the website

As part of your efforts towards the official launching of your website. There is a need for you to test your website in order to be sure that everything works the way they supposed to work.

You have to test the speed of the website. You should test the Tabs and different links that you have included in your content. You need to ensure that the contents are loading the right contents.

This will reinforce in the mind of your audience that you truly care about their experience on your e-commerce website.

#10 Promote the website

After you might have created your website, you should strive to promote such a website. You might not really expect large patronage when you just create a website and you leave it to fate.

You need to budget for campaigns and the creation of awareness programs in order to spread the word out that your website is now active. It is also important that you include share buttons and email marketing so that your existing customers can become your brand advertisers.

With so much information being thrown at people these days, it’s important to have an attention-grabbing headline that makes your content stand out from the rest of the crowd.

While there are no strict formulas for writing compelling headlines, there are a number of tricks you can use to make sure yours is as good as it can be. Here are nine tricks you can use to write headlines that readers won’t be able to resist

#1 Grab Their Attention

Lots of people struggle with writing a compelling headline for their blog posts, and it doesn’t seem as easy as it used to be. But the key is that you need to really understand your audience, create a strong sense of intrigue or tension in the reader, and know-how headlines work so that you don’t miss out on visitors.

#2  Explain Why They Should Care

Most blog posts go unread because people find them by using a simple Google search. They don’t have time for anything else, but your post’s headline needs to be compelling enough that they’ll click on it and give it a chance.

#3 Give Them Hope (that something will change)

When the reader sees a headline, they have one of two responses: either they ignore it because it doesn’t seem relevant or enticing, or they read the entire post and are influenced by the author’s ideas.

By looking at your headline with these in mind, you can tailor your writing to make it as intriguing as possible.

#4 Give Them Proof

– Give readers a sense of exclusivity with a shocking and bold statement.
– Leave the reader wanting more by providing only a teaser.
– Entice your audience with a pertinent offer or the promise of free information about something they’re passionate about.
– Use curiosity as an emotional tool to get people hooked on your headline.
– Dangle some bait before the reader, such as mentioning common opinions, controversies, hot button issues
– Speak directly to the reader by addressing their concerns.

#5 Don’t Use Jargon

Only use industry jargon if you are 100% sure your readers will know what it means.

Otherwise, explain any unfamiliar words as soon as possible. An unclear headline might drive readers away, but a well-written one might have them hooked and ready for more.

When in doubt, think about what would make YOU want to read that post or click on that link.

#6 Keep it Short

– Keep headlines short and to the point.
– Tell the reader what you want them to do- for example,
“For 15% off your next order, enter promo code APRIL 15 at checkout”
– Use clear, concise words that work together effectively.

#7 How to Headlines

There are many tricks you can use to write captivating headlines.
First, it’s important that the headline is relevant and accurate.

Second, try writing a list of items or actions.
Third, make the title about how your readers will feel after reading your post.
Fourth, include a call-to-action at the end of your post title so readers know what they’ll get from reading your content.

#8 Avoid Cliches at all Costs

Your headline is the most important part of your marketing. It has a direct correlation to how many people actually read and share your content. So, use these tips to create a compelling headline that grabs readers’ attention and compels them to click.
– Use unusual or unexpected words Examples:
“This Is What Happens When You Share Too Much”
– Ask questions – Examples:
“Is Binge Watching Shows on Netflix Making You Feel Depressed?”
– Use an intriguing statistic – Examples:
“The Number One Reason Why So Many People Don’t Exercise”
– Say something shocking – Examples:
“Breaking News! Scientists Find Huge Planet Hiding In Our Solar System!”

#9 Steal Ideas From Copywriters

– Grab Attention: A good headline should start with the words,
“Stop What You’re Doing and Read This.”
Or,
“A Lesson I Learned the Hard Way.” The goal is to make people curious enough that they’ll read on.

– Give an Overview: If your content consists of a list of things you need to do, make sure to include an overview in the headline so people know what it’s about.

– Use an Interesting Detail: When readers come across a headline that catches their attention, they want to know more. Include an interesting detail or statistic about your topic in the first sentence of the post for them to latch onto.

– Use Simple Language: Nothing turns readers off faster than complicated language or acronyms.

Keep sentences short and sweet; this will ensure people understand exactly what you’re saying as soon as they see it.

As a business owner, there are countless things that you have to worry about when you’re running your company.

Unfortunately, marketing often falls by the wayside in favor of more urgent tasks such as creating new products or managing employee salaries.

However, if you want to generate more leads, traffic and sales than your competitors, you must take the time to develop an effective AB marketing strategy before moving on to something else.

Fortunately, this process doesn’t have to be difficult or boring, follow these 5 tips to improve your AB marketing strategy and get ahead of the competition!

#1  Choose Your Audience

If you’re trying to reach a very specific type of audience for your business, it can be tough. AB marketing is an approach that has been gaining steam lately.

There are a number of benefits:

– You can have more control over the message and make it more customized.

– It’s not as expensive as other options. It’s easier to grow an audience this way than through social media or SEO because there are less barriers (i.e., less competition).

#2 Target Your Audience With The Right Message

E-mail marketing is one of the best ways to drive more traffic to your site, but like any strategy, there are ways you can improve your open and click-through rates. The most important thing you need to remember is that an e-mail marketing campaign is not a one time thing, it needs constant attention in order for it be successful.

Constant monitoring and attention are the keys factors in e-mail campaigns. Another way to make sure your e-mails don’t go unnoticed is by making them personal “Dear ___” and avoiding excess punctuation.

You should also try including links to other posts on your blog or website, as this will keep readers on your site longer while giving them more information about what they’re interested in.

And finally, use social media platforms such as Facebookr or Twitter to get people interested in reading your blog post with shortened URLs that lead back to the blog post itself!

#3 Select Tools

Mobile video marketing has surpassed social networking in recent years, and is now one of the most popular content consumption formats for millennials.
Smartphones, tablets, TVs—you name it! If you’re not leveraging this platform for your digital marketing strategy, it’s time to start now.

There are so many innovative mobile video platforms out there that allow you to quickly create and publish videos via your smartphone or tablet, but which ones should you use? The answer may depend on your business goals.

#4 Test and Monitor Your Results

A/B testing is an important tool in your marketing arsenal. While it may be more time-consuming than other techniques, executing tests with a larger sample size can offer you better insights into what is and isn’t working, and whether or not changes need to be made.

In addition, there are a number of tools out there that will test variations for you and even monitor your website’s traffic so that you know if one variation is leading to more conversions. Always start by changing one element at a time so that you have something concrete to track. The more data points the better!

#5 Adjust Your Strategy as Needed

– Complete an extensive study of your target market and understand what will resonate with them.
– Provide multiple solutions so they’ll see your brand as a solution center rather than just a solution provider.

– Include testimonials and case studies to show how your solutions have worked for others.

– Find ways to make it easy for customers to purchase from you by making it as fast, simple, and seamless as possible.

– Respond quickly when people reach out through social media or email so they know that you’re listening.

– Offer incentives like discounts or other offers to get customers on board right away!
– When people hear about something good, they tell their friends. Spread the word! Word-of-mouth is still one of the most powerful marketing tools available today.

-Take advantage of social media platforms to stay connected with potential customers (remember to listen and respond).

10 Internet Marketing Techniques For Digital Marketers

In my previous article, I discussed some of the ways that the advent of the internet has affected business generally. In this article, I want to look at some of the internet marketing techniques that a good digital marketer should have. Follow me as we are going to look at that together in this article. I need to say that when it comes to Digital Marketing, it will be very difficult for you to be proficient in all the areas, each and every digital marketer have their own area of specialisation, you may have a general idea but there will always be an area that you are good at.

Now the techniques…

#1 Email Marketing 

This is one of the areas of specialization when it comes to Digital Marketing. With email marketing, you can actually leverage email communications to reach out to your target audience. This will also allow you to engage your existing customers so that they can know more about your products and services. This will allow them to tell others about your products and services.

#2 Video Advertising 

This is another area of specialization for Digital Marketers. With Video advertising, you can leverage your audience’s interest in video to attract them to your lifecycle. This process allows you to create videos that educate your potential audience about how they can use your products and services. This allows them to have a live demonstration of how your products can be used. 

#3 Banner Advertising

This happens to be another form of advertisement that organisations can leverage. banner advertising allows organisations to display a banner advert on blogs and websites.

 
The major problem with banner advertising is that it might also appear to individuals and web visitors who might not be interested in what you have for sale. Although organisation such as Google has come up with an algorithm that allows the adverts to display based on the interest of such audience. It is possible that those that have an interest in fashion will fashion ads being displayed to them. 
 
 

#4 Affiliate Marketing

Another means of promoting your products and services is through the use of Affiliate marketing. When it comes to affiliate marketing, you as the manufacturers can commission some agents to promote your products and services. Here, the agents are paid a certain commission for every new customer that they are able to refer to your business. This will definitely take advertising costs off your shoulder.
 
 

#5 Blog Advertising 

This is another aspect of Digital Marketing that is very essential. Here you can use content to promote products and services that you have to offer your audience. Here, you can actually place ads on blogs. This can be done through ad networks such as Bing or Google.

 
You can also decide to negotiate with the blog owner directly who might decide on whether to accept such ads or not. The benefit of this is that it will allow you to choose blogs that have the type of audience that you are looking for. This will definitely increase the conversion rate for your blog ads. 
 
 

#6 Podcast Advertising 

In simple terms, I can also refer to a podcast as online radio. There are many people all over that listen to the podcast and glean knowledge from it from time to time. Podcasting is a process of publishing audio or video files on the internet using Really Simple Syndication feed as the syndication channel.
 
It’s just like a normal frequency where you can tune in to and listen to online radio programmes of your choice. When a podcast has a large followership base, you can use it to promote your products and services. 
 
 

#7 Search Engine Advertising 

One of the best media for getting free traffic is search engines but it’s not that easy. It always takes time before keywords can rank on search engines. That is why most organisations, will always combine both search engine optimization and search engine advertising.
 
At times, as a business or individual, you will have to pay search engine owners such as Google or Bing among others in order to bid for some of the keywords. Once the setup is complete, you can be sure that the ads will start ranking in no time. 
 
 

#8 Social media advertising 

Another major area that is in high demand when it comes to digital marketing is social media advertising. Social media has become a platform where you can find diverse people. Facebook for example has over two billion users.

 
That is why this platform is very attractive to business owners and individuals that wish to advertise their products and services. You can use social media for community engagement and promotion of products and services in order to reach more potential customers. 
 

#9 Mobile Advertising 

Another common method of advertising your products and services is through mobile advertising. At times, without leveraging the internet, you can actually use text messages to reach potential customers and tell them about your products and services.

 
Due to the high state of scams in some countries, the probability of reaching new customers through mobile advertising is very narrow but you can actually use it effectively to pass information to your existing customers. 

#10 Viral Marketing

This refers to a marketing technique that uses pre-existing social networks to increase brand awareness, through a self-applicating viral process. You should understand that this is analogous to the spread of pathological and computer viruses. 
 
 

8 Stages Of Internet Marketing Planning

 
Earlier, I talked about some of the ways that the advent of the internet has boosted economic activities when it comes to online marketing generally. In this article, I want to look at the eight main stages of internet marketing planning that you need to be aware of. Follow me as we are going to look at that together in this article.
 
 
Here are the stages…
#1 Determining Corporate Business Strategy
Just like every other aspect or department in an organization, you still need to plan how your organization will penetrate the internet space in order to avoid errors. You need to have a clear blueprint that you intend to follow in order to achieve corporate goals, without that, the entire process is bound to fail. You must have a clear blueprint and make sure you carry all stakeholders along while you are drafting the policy.
 

#2 Evaluating the market and customer’s needs

In addition, you need to evaluate the market and customers’ needs in order to come up with the right product at the right time for the right audience. You need to analyze your market opportunities in order to determine the best way of promoting your products and services. You have to determine some of the comparative advantages that you have that others lacked. This will help you to identify what you can leverage.

 
Besides, you need to gather and analyze all data at your disposal in order to make the best decision for your online marketing. You might need to take a critical look at the data that you have in order to determine the best way of introducing the right product to the right audience in order to achieve the desired results.
 

#3 Logical organization of data

Another major step that you need to perform is the logical organization of your data.  There are bound to be related and unrelated data that you have gathered in the course of making your research. You will need to transform this data into formats that end-users and departments can understand. You also need to group the data based on what they have in common for further analysis.

 
#4 Developing business strategy
As the coordinator of the digital marketing strategy for the organization, it is your duty to organize the Digital Marketing strategy and determine how the entire digital marketing process will be carried out in the interest of the organization. You need to make sure that roles are assigned to the various business units in the organization so that they can perform active roles as well.
 

#5 Determine customer experience

When it comes to customer relationship management, there is something called customer brand promise. It is an articulation of what customers should expect after they might have purchased your products or services. When you are planning Digital marketing, you need to determine the kind of customer experience that you want to create. This will allow you to juxtapose what customers gained before they purchased your product with what you promised they will get after they might have used that product or service.
 

#6 Preparing business information

Also, there is a need for you to design and consider how the information will be understood by the audience visiting your website. Most times, when some of this information are prepared, you need to make sure that they are arranged in such a way that customers and website visitors are able to locate all the information that they are looking for on your website.
 
 

#7 planning marketing strategy

Most times, you need to know that the function of digital marketing or running digital marketing campaigns is not something that must be done by a single individual alone. It should be a collaborative effort of all the departments in the organization. You need to plan how you are going to retain existing customers or attract new customers.
 

#8 Evaluating response

Also as part of your digital marketing efforts, you need to determine how you are going to analyse feedback and make decisions in order to correct some of the anomalies observed during your investigation. At times, you might need to employ the service of a Subject Matter Expert in order to achieve the desired results.

4 Factors That Influence Online Conversion Rates

When it comes to online businesses or marketing, there are many reasons why people start online businesses but all the same, the main purpose of setting up online businesses is to make money online. You need to know that, that money will not fall down from the sky. You need to work at it until you realize your objectives. In this article, I want to talk about some of the factors that influence online conversion rates. Follow me as we will look at that in this article.

 
What are conversion rates…
Conversation rates can be seen as the number of visitors that visited a website divided by the total number of people that performs what you expected them to do.

When you are setting up an online business and you open a website for that purpose, there is a particular thing that you want your visitors to do. It might be to purchase products and services from your website or download your ebooks. So it has to do with the total number of people that visits the website knowingly or unknowingly divided by the number of people that makes actual purchases from the website.

Focus on sales…
The major aim of calculating conversion rates is to focus more attention on the sales of the organization. You are actually trying to know if your strategies are working. You want to know if you need to change tactics or not. For example, if your conversion rate is low, you may need to take adequate action to shoot up your conversion techniques. Let’s say for example you have placed a sign-up form on your website, you will want to analyse how many people visits your website as well as how many people actually signed up on your website.

 
How…
We can actually measure conversion rates by gathering all the data that are available about users visiting the website. You have to do a month-by-month comparison of your traffic and determine whether you are making progress or you are retrogressing. When you take the time to study this, it will give you an idea of what you need to do in order to boost your conversion rate.
 
 
Now the factors…
#1 Confidence and Intent
First and foremost, you need to understand that the confidence that customers have in your products and services as well the intention of your audience have a role to play when it comes to your conversion rates. This can fall under three categories:
There are some traffics that can be categorized as unqualified. That means there is some traffic that is not meant for you. Some of that traffic has arrived on your website by mistake. You should not bother yourself much about them.

 
Also, the intention of your visitors when they visit your website will also determine whether they are going to buy from your website or not. Some of those visiting your website do not have a plan of buying from your website. They just came for Window Shopping.

Also, the confidence that users have in your brand will also determine whether they are going to buy the product or not. If the customers have so much belief in your brand, definitely they are going to purchase your product.

#2 Personal Experience Factor
Also, the personal or individual experience that a customer has had with your organisation will also determine whether a particular visitor will be willing to buy products from your website. Under Personal Experience Factor, here are some of the factors that one needs to put into consideration:

There is a need for you to consider website planning. You don’t just wake up and create a website. A lot of planning has to go into it. You need to make sure that you carry all stakeholders along and get their input when you are creating a website for your online business.

Also, there is a need for you to agree on the structure of your website. You have to make sure that the website is designed in such a way that customers are able to easily find what they are looking for on your website. This will increase the retention rate of visitors coming to your website. It will also boost your sales as well. 

In addition, when it comes to boosting online conversions, there is a need for you to ensure that your website has momentum built into it. You have to make sure that your content is engaging enough. You should design your content in such a way that it can actually convince users to buy your products and services.

Also, when it comes to website design, communication is very important. You need to make sure that the website is designed in such a way that it is communicating the message that you want to pass across to your target audience. If this message is not well received by your audience, you will notice that there will be a high rate of cart abandonment on your website. You need to guard against this.

In addition, in order to increase the conversion rate for your product generally, you need to make sure that the value is being communicated clearly. In order to buy your product, your customer wants to know what your product has that is not available in other products. Once this can be communicated clearly and eloquently, it might convince your web visitors to consider your products or services. 

Above all, your capability in terms of pre-sales and after-sales services will determine to a large extent how far you can go in converting prospects to customers. If you have poor customer service, no matter how good your online presence is, you will always find it difficult to convert leads to loyal customers. That is why your online marketing development efforts should be holistic in nature.

#3 Environmental And Conditional Factors 

There is a need for you to consider environmental and conditional factors that will likely affect your online marketing efforts as well. At times, the location of the person going through your website or what is happening around him will also determine whether he will buy your product or not. Here are the three main questions you should answer in this regard:

1. Does your product carry the promise that is promised to those that will use your products? That means, are you fulfilling the brand promise.
2. Is your site objective to sell products or services or to generate leads for you or other organisations?
3. How complex is the sales process?
4. Does the product need endorsements from other persons in addition to visitors?
5. How much time and effort can a visitor devote to the conversion process?

I will be looking at some of the Black Hat SEO techniques to avoid as well as some of the negative outcomes of using them. 

“According to Semrush SEO, Black hat SEO are tactics used to rank a website that violates search engine guidelines. Black hat SEO techniques attempt to manipulate search engine algorithms to increase a site’s rankings on the SERPs.

Search engines, such as Google to Bing, make it very clear which types of practices go against their terms. They’re also quite clear on the potential outcomes if you violate their guidelines. Using black hat SEO tactics can lead to your website being banished from Search Engines.

Here are some of the Black SEO practices that you should never follow. 

#1 Keyword Stuffing 

When you are engaging in keyword stuffing, you are trying to repeat the same keywords unnaturally in order to rank for that particular keyword. This is tantamount to trying to deceive the Search Engine by making your article show up for articles that they are not related to. 

You need to understand that this used to work in the early days of the emergence of the Search Engine. But nowadays, Search Engine Algorithms has advanced as they now incorporate some element of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. When you are writing your posts nowadays, you need to be as natural as much as possible. That is why you will notice that it is now possible for you to rank for keywords that you did not bid for. 

#2 Duplicate or Auto-Generated Contents 

The fact remains that Quality Content is one of the ranking factors when it comes to ranking on Search Engines. Because Google placed so much emphasis on User Experience, they will not allow anything short of great content to show up on the first page.

Some Bloggers and content creators have devised means of using Tools to generate content. Some even devise means of making a single Page to rank for multiple contents. All these techniques are not acceptable to Search Engines. You can be penalised if you are caught doing so. 

#3 Hidden Texts 

There are some Content Creators and Website Developers that try to hide keywords away from the prying eye of Search Engine Bots. They do this at times in order to rank for a large number of keywords. Some are hidden in Javascript and Images. At times some use zero fonts and colours to hide texts. 

You need to understand that Search Engines nowadays are more sophisticated to discover hidden texts. You might be penalised for hiding keywords for users or deceiving the Search Engine in order to rank for a particular keyword. You can learn more about this with the Black Hat SEO Course Download Torrent

#3 Gateway Pages 

Gateway Pages are Pages that target specific queries and are meant to deal with a particular keyword or country. This is in violation of Google guidelines. 

You need to understand that some of the Pages on your sites must be serving a specific purpose. You should not create any Page on your website in order to rank for a particular keyword. Every Page you are creating on your website must have a specific purpose. 

Some of the examples of these gateway practices happen when you are targeting a location where your business does not have a physical office or when you create a Page in order to rank for a particular keyword and not meet Users’ needs. 

#4 Cloaking 

Cloaking happens when the URL being served to Users visiting your website is different from the URL served to Search Engines. This is been done at times in order to deceive the Search Engine Bots. It happens when you created a Page to rank for a Search Engine while users are being directed to a different Page. This is a complete violation of the Search Engine guideline.

#5 Paid Links

When it comes to link building, they are signs of approval of your website content by other Site owners. If you now engage in practices such as buying links or spamming links. You are working at variance with Search Engine practises. You have to make sure that you are earning backlinks through authoritative links that you are churning out from your website or blog. 

In order not to be a victim of this, you should avoid the following: 

• Paid (sponsored) links that don’t contain a rel=”nofollow” or rel=”sponsored” attribute
• Excessive link exchanges
• Blog comment spam
• Forum spam
• Large-scale article marketing or guest posting campaigns
• Automated link building
• Spammy directories, bookmarking sites, and web 2.0 properties
• Site-wide footer or sidebar links
• Links that use exact match or commercial anchor text

#6 Misused Structured Data and Rich Snippet

Structured Data and Rich Snippets are essential tools that can be used by Bloggers. They usually allow Search Engines and Users to understand the relationship between content and Pages available on a website or Blog. Sometimes, these are intentionally misused in order to deceive Search Engine bots. 

This is very common among marketers who want to pull traffic to their content. They may decide to write fake reviews or pay people to review their websites and products so that they can come higher on the Search Engine Result Page.

#7 Misleading Redirects 

Whether you are creating a new blog or website or you are moving your content to a new website, you cannot do without engaging in some kind of redirection for your content. This is meant to increase user experience on your and guarantee that Search Engine crawlers are not having issues accessing your website. 

Just like cloaking, there are times where Black Hat Developers deceive Search Engines by ensuring that the Page displayed to users is different from the Page displayed on the Search Engine Result Page. You need to know that Google Webmasters also list Misleading URLs as one of the black hat offences with a heavy penalty. 

#8 Negative SEO 

There are some that actually carried out Blackhat SEO in order to bring down their competitors. Some Content writers can go as far as pointing a large number of unethical links to other people’s domain in order to bring them down.

Although with the advancement in Google techniques and algorithms, they have devised means of ignoring those links. But you need to know that once you are caught or reported by others, you can be penalised for such illicit practices. 

Why You Should Not Use Black Hat SEO Techniques

#1 Loss of Traffic and Visibility 

One of the reasons why you should not engage in Black Hat SEO is that it will lead to a great loss of revenue and visibility on Search Engines. Once you are penalised, your website might not even appear on the first one hundred pages for Keywords that you have previously ranked for. This will lead to a loss of revenue and goodwill. It might even mean that you have to support your business with PPC campaigns in order to stay afloat. 

#2 You cannot go far

The bitter truth when it comes to using these dubious means in order to rank higher on Search Engines is that there is a limit to how far you can go. 

Although it might take some time for Google to discover that an unethical method was adopted. This can be discovered through manual review or Core algorithm update but be rest assured that once a discovery has been made, loss of traffic is inevitable for such a website. 

#3 Frustrating User Experience

There is no way a user can enjoy their stay on a website that adopts the use of Black Hat Techniques in order to rank higher on search engines. It is also possible that the thought process for their contents will also be affected as they will find it difficult to strike a balance. This can also affect the conversation rate on such a website. It will ultimately lead to a loss of revenue as well. 

Ways Of Reporting Black Hat SEO

According to SEOTrik Blog. Here are the ways that you can report a website using Black Hat SEO Techniques. First and foremost, If it’s a competitor or a site that you came across while doing Black Hat SEO, it must be documented. A genuine marketer will not wish for spammy sites to be ranked higher than theirs. But how do we accomplish this?

The answer is quite simple. Every search engine has the option of exposing unprofessional actions. For instance., Google has reported the use of paid links, spam, and malicious pages. It is simple to report and webmasters must be informed. While the time to take the required action might not be as rapid it will allow the algorithms of websites to become more aware to reflect the spam.

Concluding Thoughts

 If one should consider the pros and cons of using Black Hats Techniques learned from Black Hat SEO Course Download Torrent, we see that it is not advisable to engage in these practices as it will come back to hurt such a website or blog. You should also know that Google and other Search Engines are not resting on their oars in their effort to rid their Search Engine Result of Black Hat-influenced Search Results.

Web Development Vs SEO: The Major Relationship (+Examples)

Web development and SEO are two fundamental terms that you will always hear about if you have something to do with online activities. It is quite unfortunate some people do not know that these two concepts are related in one way or the other. In this article. I want to talk about relationships and differences when it comes to web development vs SEO. Follow me as we look at that together in this article. 

First and foremost you need to understand that these days website has just gone beyond putting something together in order to promote your brand. You also need to make sure that whatever website that you are creating follows some Search Engine Rules as well. This will want will guarantee that your content and the entire site rank higher on Search Engine.

What SEO is

I have several articles on SEO and I will not use this space to talk much about SEO again. SEO can be seen as the totality of all mechanisms that you adopt or deploy in order to ensure that your website and its contents ranked higher on the Search Engine Result Page. Just like I said in one of my articles, SEO generally can be divided into three parts which are On-Page SEO, Off-Page SEO and Technical SEO. 

You should also understand that SEO consists of components such as keyword research, content creation and development, social media marketing and monetization as well as backlink generation and web hosting among others. 

Web Development

Web Development as a concept has to do with all that it entails to build, manage and maintain a website. As a web developer, you are saddled with the responsibility of ensuring that your website is working the way it is supposed to work at any given time. Some of the responsibilities of the web developer also include coding, web design and programming, database management and development, and web mobile accessibility among others.

A common misconception about Facebook advertising is that it’s much more effective at driving traffic to your website than other social networks like Twitter or Instagram. While there’s nothing wrong with this line of thinking, it’s only part of the story.  

  Facebook can be highly effective at driving traffic to your website, but it can also be an easy way to waste money if you don’t know what you’re doing.   This article will walk you through how to optimize your Facebook ads and make the most out of your campaign.

#1 Test Your Ad Image

The first step to optimizing your Facebook ad is to test your ad image. Try different images and see which ones get the most clicks and conversions.

You can also use A/B testing to see which image performs better.   Split your audience into two groups and create a single campaign with one ad for each group.

Each campaign will have an identical target audience, bidding strategy, budget, etc., but only one of them will have an ad with a new or updated image. Then you’ll compare their performance metrics over time to see which one’s doing better.

Step 2: Test Your Ad Copy

Just like with any other marketing campaign, you need to test your ad copy before you launch your Facebook ad campaign. Try different headlines and images to see what works best for your target audience. Also, be sure to test different calls to action to see what gets the most clicks.

The more you test, the better your results will be. For example, it might seem silly to think that changing a headline from Join Us Now to See What You’ve Been Missing could make a difference in how many people click on the ad or how much money is spent on the ads.

But if you run enough tests, eventually you will notice trends between certain types of ads and their performance.

Step 3: A/B Test Interest Groups

A/B testing is a key part of any successful marketing campaign, and Facebook ads are no exception. By testing different interest groups, you can determine which ones are most likely to convert.   Here’s how to set up an A/B test for your next Facebook ad campaign

1) Set up two different ads with similar copy but two different targeting audiences.

2) Once you’ve completed step one, select each audience separately to see which is performing better at that point in time.

3) As long as one of the audiences outperforms the other by 10% or more over 5 days, keep using that audience.

4) If there isn’t a significant difference between performance levels at this point in time, it may be best to abandon both audiences and create new ones to test with instead.

#4  Consider Bidding Strategies

One important aspect of optimizing your Facebook ads is choosing the right bidding strategy. The three main types of bidding strategies are; – cost-per-click (CPC), – cost-per-impression (CPM), and – cost per mille (CPA). Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, so be sure to choose the one that best fits your goals.

Step 5: Get Valuable Feedback From Customers

Customer feedback is essential for any business, but it’s especially important when you’re first starting out. Not only will it help you improve your product or service, but it can also give you insights into what customers are really looking for. Here are a few ways to get valuable feedback from customers:

1) Send surveys 2)

Use free social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn

3) Survey customer phone calls 4) Review customer receipts

Remarketing is a powerful tool that can help you increase your lifetime value. By targeting people who have already interacted with your brand, you can create ads that are more relevant and likely to convert. Plus, remarketing can help you build relationships with customers and create loyalty.

Here’s how it works:

– When someone visits your website, they get tagged as a visitor. Then, if they don’t make a purchase or complete an action on your site within 30 days, they’re tagged as non-customers. – When someone becomes a non-customer, you’ll want to show them ads encouraging them to come back. –

When someone becomes a customer, you’ll want to show them ads promoting other products.   To target visitors and non-customers separately, use two different audiences on Facebook. One audience should include visitors only (and exclude those who’ve completed any type of conversion) while the other audience should include both visitors and non-customers (including those who’ve completed any type of conversion).

E-Business models define the flow of products, services, revenue and benefits in an organisation. It also helps in conducting online business that generates profitable revenue growth for an organisation.

In my previous article, I looked at the various types of e-commerce business models that you need to know generally when it comes to online businesses generally. In this article, I want to look at eight types of e-business models for businesses. Follow me as we are going to look at this business model together in this article. 

Now the models…

#1 Brokerage model

In this type of e-business model, Brokers or commission brings buyers to buy products and services from the organisation and they are paid commission in return for the services they are rendering to the organisation. 

#2 Infomediary model

They collect the analysed information that helped consumers while considering a purchase. These are the kind of online business that writes about products and services which will allow the buyer to decide whether they actually want to go for that particular product or service. 

#3 Merchant model 

This is a platform or channel that allows buyers and sellers to sell products and services over the internet. It also creates a platform where organisations can pay for products and services over the internet. At times, using this platform, sellers can decide to relate with buyers directly as well. 

#4 Community model

In this type of model, a website or blog might be created for the sole purpose of building a membership base. In this kind of model, they are not really relying on guests who are coming to the website for the first time. They might actually have to sign up and pay a monthly or yearly subscription in order to access content on the website.
                    

#5 Manufacturing model

In the manufacturing model, a manufacturer might decide to reach the end-users directly without making use of middlemen. This might allow them to reduce bottlenecks that customers might be facing while trying to have access to their products or services.

#6 Affiliate model

This model offers financial incentives in the form of a percentage to partners who are going to assist the manufacturers in selling their products and services. This always reduces the cost of advertisements as the affiliate partner will now be the one marketing such products and services.

#7 Advertising model

The contents and services of This model are displayed along with advertising messages in the form of banner ads. In this model, manufacturers can approach bloggers who have ad slots and pay them to display their banner ads on such blogs based on agreed terms.

#8 Subscription model

Here, members on those platforms pay agreed fees in order to have access to quality content that is available on their particular blog or website.

#9 Utility model

Here, activities are monitored and users are asked to pay for only services that they utilized on those websites. Take, for instance, if you are enjoying hosting or domain services on a particular platform, you will only have to pay for the services that you have subscribed for.

In my previous article, I have tried to look at the origin or evolution of e-commerce from where it started up to where it is now.

In this article, I want to look at the different types of e-commerce classifications that you should know as a Digital Marketer. Follow me as we are going to look at that in this article.

#1 Business To Business

This type of e-commerce model allows businesses to transact businesses together. When this happens, it is very possible that the two businesses are online or one of the businesses are online.

Take, for example, the relationship between Jumia and DHL. DHL can assist Jumia in delivering products that are sold online to their doorsteps. This can help in increasing sales turnover for the online business.

#2 Business To Consumer 

We can also have businesses leveraging on the internet in order to serve their customers.

In this kind of business model, individuals might be asked to sign up in order to be able to buy products and services and get more from what the organisation has to offer.

A good example is e-commerce websites such as Jumia and Amazon where customers can visit and purchase products and services that they have for sale. 

#3 Consumer To Business 

This is another type of business model classification when it comes to e-commerce. Here, individuals can offer their services to businesses and get paid in return.

Take, for example, we have individuals that register on freelance platforms such as Fiverr and Elance and they are paid for services they are rendering on those platforms. Some Bloggers also have Google Adsense and Admob accounts that allow Google to display ads on their blogs and Apps.

#4 Consumer To Consumer

This is an electronic e-commerce platform where a single organisation is able to create a platform that allows two customers to transact businesses together.

In this kind of platform, the customers always exchange old products in return for money. Take, for example, I have an old router that I want to sell. I can always upload it to a Consumer to Consumer platform and get paid for such products or services.

#2 In the 1980s

At this stage, credit cards Automated Teller Machine and telephone banking was being introduced to e-commerce. This allows banks to play major roles in commercial transactions. This also increases the volume of sales globally.

How To Reduce Cart Abandonment On Your Shopify Store

Does your eCommerce website have huge visitors but minimum sales? Is your website suffering from a high shopping cart abandonment rate? If yes, then you are in the right place to fix it.

Nowadays, cart abandonment is the major problem that most website wieners are neglecting. And most people are confused about how to fix it. This is the reason we have come up with the best tricks to reduce cart abandonment.

Today, we’re excited to talk about cart abandonment, why it happens, and effective ways to fix it in detail.
Are you ready?
Dive in.

What Is Shopping Cart Abandonment? And Why Does It Happen?

Shopping cart abandonment is the condition where your customers add various products to the cart but fail to buy them.

Shopping cart abandonment is over 80% worldwide.

Most shopkeepers fail to address this issue and leave a lump sum of money behind. It has been seen that every 2 out of 3 people leave the cart without buying. But what do you think about this cart abandonment?

Think of physical stores where people buy things offline. How do they manage customers leaving the shops without buying a product?

Usually, in the physical shops, people touch the products, feel a safe shopping experience within the four walls and wisely list the buying products. Isn’t it?

Now, what about online shopping? What are the reasons for cart abandonment?

Most people leave the cart for various seasons including checkout fears, no trust in the shopkeepers, minimum online payment options, high shipping costs, and many more.

How to fix them and reduce shopping cart abandonment? Here are the 7 effective ways to fix cart abandonments at your store.

Ways To Fix Your Shopping Cart Abandonment For Shopify Store

Shopping cart abandonment has become one of the major eCommerce concerns for website owners. No matter how much quality product you provide to the customers, you still face cart abandonment disorder. Isn’t it?

But don’t worry. With intense research and observations, we have come up with the 7 most popular and effective cart abandonment solutions.

#1 Reduce Checkout Fears

Have you ever shopped online? Did you feel safe while delivering your details to the website? No matter whether the answer is yes or no, question yourself why do you think like that. And know what’s missing for your eCommerce store.

According to a study by Baymard Institute, 61 out of 100 websites are asking for unnecessary details and showing themselves as spammers.

So, make sure you eliminate the check-out fears of the customers by reasoning each point that you are asking the customers.

Ensure customers about the terms and conditions of using your data. Make the customers feel secure at your website.

#2 Build Trust and Credibility During Checkout

After checking out fear, distrust on the eCommerce website is the most common reason for shopping cart abandonment. Tell your customers how you care about products while shipping, shipping period, tracking, and other details regarding shipment.

Provide trust badges showing the information is 100% secured.
Also, at each point of your website, tell your customers about the quality of the products, guide them on how to choose the best products, and what to do if customers aren’t satisfied with the products.

Question yourself and provide the best solutions on your website.
These are the few considerations ensuring trust and credibility on your website. Hence, reducing shopping cart abandonment.

#3 Simplify Your Checkout Process

Make the customer buying process easier just by simplifying the checkout process. Do not make check-out process complexes that frustrate the customers.

Make it simple that end in two or three steps.
It’s noticed that most customers lose interest in buying products when there are complex check-out processes. So, make sure to make it sweet and simple in just a few steps.

#4 Give Shoppers Multiple Payment Options

It’s important to ensure comfort and convenience for customers with the online payment options. If customers find fewer payment options that take a long time to pay, then they leave their cart.

So make sure to provide multiple payment options for the shoppers. This makes shoppers buying easier and more comfortable. Finally, it results in less shopping cart abandonment.

#5  Free or Reduced Shipping Costs

Who would not love the word free? Free shipping, Buy 1 Get 1 free, 50% off, 70% off, and free delivery are some of my favourite sentences. Each time I see them, I make a purchase instantly.

If you want to engage customers with your site and hook them to make instantaneous purchases, then free shipping is the best tool. Now, reducing shopping cart abandonment looks easier. Right?

#6 Re-engage With InactivitySensor™️ Popups

With millions of online stores and choices around the customers, it’s no surprise to forget about things easily. How many times have you forgotten your meeting timings?

Most probably several times. But there is a Google Calendar for you to send meeting notifications and re-engage yourself.

Similarly, you need an OptinMonster’s InactivitySensor to trigger pop-ups about the products in the cart. This re-engages the customers ensuring successful purchasers.

#7 Personalize Your Messaging

Have you ever visited a website with frustrating pop-ups? How do you feel? You feel irritated and want to have no pop-ups on your website.

Isn’t it? But this is one of the biggest mistakes that most site owners commit.

The problem isn’t with the pop-ups but with the usage of pop-ups. If you use pop-ups to send personalized messages and campaigns to your customers, they are a great sales booster.

So, never miss out on this opportunity to attract customers. Send personalized messages that hook the customer and show urgency.

Conclusion.

Reduce your cart abandonment rate and increase sales using the above-mentioned 7 effective tricks.
Never forget to ensure a smooth shopping experience for the customers and build trust.

Be genuine in the shipping and billing process. Tell your customer the exact delivery time and increase credibility. Reward shoppers. Re-engage shoppers with personalized messages.

Take your eCommerce business to the next level by utilizing eCommerce development services. So, get in touch with our experienced Shopify developers and boost your online business.

The reliance on online reviews is growing massively when choosing the kind of business people want to employ.

More than 80% of the individuals have their faith vested in what people have to say about the brand; it is almost as powerful as word-of-mouth marketing. 

Google facilitates the consumer to write reviews. These are then displayed on the company’s Google business listing.

When users are trying to find out more about your business, they can simply read the reviews on Google and know from the past customer experience.

More than 80% of the individuals have their faith vested in what people have to say about the brand; it is almost as powerful as word-of-mouth marketing. 

Google facilitates the consumer to write reviews. These are then displayed on the company’s Google business listing.

When users are trying to find out more about your business, they can simply read the reviews on Google and know from the past customer experience. 

Businesses can also add Google reviews to your website. To know how you can do it and why you should be doing it, keep reading. 

HOW TO ADD GOOGLE REVIEWS ON YOUR WEBSITE?

If you copy and paste the reviews on the website, you hamper the post’s legitimacy, and you can run into conflicts for doing so. However, smarter ways of doing this are listed below for you to do it correctly. 

Social Media Aggregators

Social media aggregators collect data from your social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, etc.

Later to collecting, it curates and moderates it, which means it filters out the irrelevant and abusive data from what’s relevant to the brand, customizes it as per the brand’s requirements, and displays it anywhere on the website. 

Tools like Taggbox Widget and Tag Embed help you in achieving what you seek. 

Taggbox Widget is undoubtedly one of the best tools you can employ to add Google review widget to your website.

It is a UGC platform, which makes displaying Google reviews on the website easy. The process of embedding Google reviews is divided into two parts:

• By creating Google Reviews Widget
• Embedding Google Reviews On The Website

CREATE GOOGLE REVIEWS WIDGET

1. Create an account on the Taggbox widget or log in to an already existing one. 
2. After logging in, you will notice a dashboard. Here you will have four easy steps to create and add Google reviews on your website. Now click on the add social feeds option to fetch feeds in your widget. 
3. Choose ‘Google Review’ as the origin from amongst the different social media platforms displayed on the pop-up. 
4. A different pop-up will appear asking you to choose your location to derive Google reviews and then click on the ‘create widget’ option. 
5. Taggbox Widget will automatically fetch all the Google reviews and turn them into a unified feed.
6. After the feed is created, you can also customize, moderate, and gain insights through engagement and web analytics. 

EMBED GOOGLE REVIEWS WIDGET ON THE WE

After customizing the reviews, you need to embed them on your website. 

1. On the lower-left corner of the edit page, you will find a ‘PUBLISH’ button; click on it. 
2. You will find a list of multiple website building options appearing on the screen. Choose from amongst your preferred options. 
3. Adjust your Google Reviews feed’s height and width as per the web page segment where you want to embed it. And then click on the ‘GET’ button. 
4. Just copy and paste the code generated on the backend of your website and apply the changes. 

WHY DO BRANDS NEED TO ADD GOOGLE REVIEWS?

• Social Proof

Before making purchase decisions, consumers lookout for social proof. According to stats, 85% of the consumers go across approximately 10 reviews while making up their minds. 

When the social proof is just in front of them on the website, why would they want to go somewhere else to know about the past users’ experiences? 

If they want to purchase your brand but first read the reviews, they need not dilly-dally around, impacting their stimulation to buy. 

• SEO Performance

Online reviews play an essential role in your SEO ranking efforts. It is because they have the potential to affect your local rankings, customers’ purchase decisions, and click-through rates.

Embedding Google reviews on your website can give the users quick access to accurate information, which helps them form their opinion about the purchase.

Local search engines pick up websites that users turn to repeatedly due to their high-velocity reviews. 

• Seller Rating

Google Seller Ratings is a special extension of Google Adwords that showcases other buyers’ trust in your business. Your out of five scores will appear under the headline and URL of your pay-per-click ad. 

Research shows that more than 60% of the searches click on GSR ads when seeking their decision to make a purchase.

Furthermore, GSR can enhance your click-through rate, which positively impacts your website’s quality score while also reducing your cost-per-click. 

• Builds Trust

Embedding Google reviews on your website can help in gaining the trust of your user.

When they see positive reviews and well-responded negative reviews, potential users find a level of comfort in using the products and services provided by the brand. 

• Marketing To The Millennials

Apart from trusting online reviews as much as personal recommendations, a major part of the millennial population trusts online reviews more than they trust tv ads.

Now, if this isn’t ringing a bell in your ears, you are missing out on the amazing impact Google reviews have on your business.

Also, they are more cost-effective than the ads that are played on television making embedding on websites a better option. 

Over To You

When embedded on your website, Google reviews make a lot of difference in how your users perceive your brand.

Use Taggbox Widget or Tagembed to embed the Google reviews widget on your website and derive all the amazing benefits it has.

Making money blogging isn’t easy. It takes time, persistence, and the right strategy to turn your passion into profits. But once you find your niche and develop a loyal following, it can be rewarding in more ways than one.

So how do you go about turning your blog into a money-making machine? Here are four proven strategies that can help you monetize your blog and make some extra cash in the process.

#1 Build An Email List

One of the best ways to make money from your blog is to build an email list. By doing this, you create a group of people who are interested in what you have to say and who are more likely to buy products or services that you promote.

Plus, it’s a great way to build relationships with your readers. Here are four strategies for building an email list:

– Use a pop-up opt-in form on your blog.
– Make use of social media channels like Facebook by posting about it on your timeline.
– Give away something for free (a guide, resource, checklist) and include an opt-in form at the end of the document.
– Turn visitors into subscribers by adding a subscribe box at the bottom of each post and encourage visitors to click subscribe when they find something they like.

#2 Offer Products for Sale

You can make money blogging by selling products directly to your audience. This could be physical products, digital products, or even services. If you have something of value to sell, there’s a good chance you can make money by selling it on your blog. Create an e-commerce store with Shopify (or another platform) and use content marketing tactics like email newsletters and videos to promote your products.

Consider using affiliate marketing strategies with stores like Amazon so that you can earn commissions for every sale made through your site.

#3 Promote Affiliate Offers

If you want to make money blogging, one of the easiest ways to do it is by promoting affiliate offers. Simply find a company or product you love and see if they have an affiliate program. If they do, sign up and start promoting their products or services on your blog.

You can also include affiliate links in your blog posts, which will allow readers to click through and purchase products directly from your site.

Promoting affiliate offers on your site is a great way to monetize your blog without making it spammy. This is because affiliates are looking for high-quality leads or people to who they can send information about their products or services, and people who might buy those products or services.

By including affiliate links throughout your content, you’re not just saying buy this! but instead providing valuable information and resources that help people decide what’s best for them. Plus, there’s no risk to you as the blogger.

Affiliate companies take care of the entire process from designing the offer (e.g., a landing page) and delivering it to potential customers (e.g., social media advertising). They only pay when someone purchases something through your affiliate link. It really couldn’t be any easier.

The best part is once you’ve signed up with a company, all the heavy lifting is done on their end so all you need to do is post content related to your topic and add some affiliate links now and then.

#4 Sell Advertising Space

One popular way to make money blogging is to sell advertising space on your blog. This can be done in a few different ways, such as through Google Adsense, Mediavine, or direct ad sales.

Selling advertising space is a great way to monetize your blog because it doesn’t require much work on your part and you can make a decent amount of money doing it. However, there are a few things that you should keep in mind when selling ads on your site, including the types of ads that you’re willing to accept (text-only vs. video ads), the placement of the ads (above the fold vs. at the bottom), and whether or not you will charge more for specific products (jewellery over clothing).

Once you figure out how you want to structure your ads, the next step is to set up an account with one of the three advertising companies I mentioned above.

The process for setting up an account varies from company to company but it’s generally pretty straightforward and only takes a few minutes.

Start by signing up with Google Adsense, which is probably the most widely used program out there today.

Conclusion

If you’re serious about making money blogging, then you need to be strategic about it. There are many ways to monetize your blog, but not all of them will work for every blogger.

The best way to approach monetization is to try out a few different strategies and see what works best for you and your blog. With a little trial and error, you can find the perfect way to make money from your blog.
