Who Makes a Purchase and Who Doesn't...

May 17, 2010

Written By Lonnie Niver

I don't know how many of you have heard of the 10% rule but here
is a little insight for you. There is an old saying that for every 100 there
are 10 that will purchase.

The 10% Rule is the percentage of people who either purchase or join an opportunity
from the amount of people who actually saw your product and/or opportunity.

For example: If I want to set a goal to make lets say $1000 a week at around $17.50
a sale. I would need to make 58 sales for the entire week. Right? That means I have to find 58 people to purchase my product. Now, in order for me to find that many people that will purchase my product I am going to have to have 580 people visit my site.

Do you see where I am going?

You are probably going to say, "but Lonnie I have a lot of people seeing my product and I don't get
a 10% return", let me ask you a questions:

Are you targeting the right market?

I see so many online business people trying to promote their opportunity to everyone and their mother. What they don't understand is that it is very important to know who you are marketing to because not everyone wants what you are promoting. If everyone wanted what they wanted then that would mean that a car sales person could sale a brand new car to 16 year old who doesn't have a job. Do you get my point?

For the 10% to work you have to find your target market and start promoting. If you're not getting the results you are looking for then go back and do so research to see if their is a market for your product. You should of already done your research but that is beside the point.

Why Can't I Get My Landing Page To Rank At The Top?

Written By Lonnie Niver

Landing Pages or also know as a squeeze page. They are the marketing pipeline where traffic is sent to. Today, Landing pages are a crucial tool used to building any internet business no matter what the product or services are. But, there is a right and a wrong way to using them and if not used correctly they could hurt the business.

The purpose for using landing pages is to convert visitors into buyers. They provide
valuable information about the product/services and how much money a potential visitor may make. If a visitor can not be converted from the landing page then nothing else will even matter. Meaning that the visitor didn't find what they were looking for.

Most people will use a landing page as a web page. Unless you have created your own landing page this would be considered the wrong way of using a landing page. The problem is that if a online business creates a landing page for their affiliate program, how many landing pages would you say is on the internet. For one online business there could be thousands of the same landing page on the internet. Search Engines don't like duplication so, they won't bother crawling the site to give it ranking. Search Engines like fresh content to offer the surfers.

I use a landing page as an informational page that is linked from my blog or article. I created a blog that I update just about everyday. I keep fresh new content on the blog so the search engines will crawl my site in hopes to rank my blog at the top. Same thing with articles, as I write an article I place a link to the landing page at the
bottom of the article. When someone reads my article the link is offered.

The next time you are using a landing page type in keywords for the landing page on a search engine and see how many other people are using the same landing page. If they are on top they won't stay there long. You can and will get better results if you take the time to create a blog and/or article with a landing page link. You can even make the have similar information as the landing page and add the link as an opportunity for more information.

Are Your Twitter Posts Getting Read?

Written by Lonnie Niver

Do you ever get the feeling that posting to Twitter is a waist of time because your post
disappears just as fast as it was posted? I know exactly how you feel! I have felt the
same feeling until I fell upon a secret that probably most Twitter members don't know
about. This is not really a secret, it's just not something people come a cross when they first start posting.

What is this secret?

It is called using keywords! WHAT?

I know it sounds crazy but here me out for a second while I explain.

One day I was doing some research on Twitter. Some of things I found I all ready
knew about except for the one thing that mattered, using "KEYWORDS".

You have probably noticed a search box on the right side under all your followers
thumbnails. Well, it isn't there to look pretty! It's there for you to use as a tool to
find your targeted market using keywords. That's right I said targeted market!

I know targeted market is a stuck in the mud because people want to know how to determine their targeted market but just don't seem to get it so, they throw it to the side and forget about it. But if you take time and do a search you will find people who are talking about your particular keyword for your targeted audience. When you add these keywords into your post it will appear under that search. Plus, you can save your keywords to keep track of what's working for your market.

When you think your posts are not being viewed you are probably right if you're not using keywords. But if you take the time and research the keywords for your targeted market you will get tons of traffic to your site.
