Why Your Landing Page Isn’t As Good As It Could Be

If you’ve ever wondered whether your landing page, squeeze page, or entire website was as good as it could be, I’ve got an answer for you.

IT ISN’T.

And there are two reasons why that’s probably the case:

1) “You’re probably not split testing.”

Split testing is the probably the single best way to improve the performance of your website. If you wanted to get more opt-ins, make more sales, and overall just make more money, split testing can get you there more quickly than any other method I know.

If you’re not split testing, start now.

** ON THE OTHER HAND… **

If you’re already split testing, there is one more demon that may be getting in your way. And that brings us to the second reason why your site isn’t as good as it could be.  It’s that…

Product Launch Formula 3

How do you learn best?

I learn best by seeing “case studies” of what I’m trying to do. That’s why I so very much like what Jeff Walker is doing.

He’s telling lots of stories about people who have done small product launches in tiny little niches (a few thousand dollars) and big product launches in huge markets (many millions of dollars).

Jeff is the guy who “invented” product launches for online marketing. And yes, Jeff is about to introduce his new course.

That’s why Jeff is giving away a long list of case studies and free information — he wants you to get ProductLaunchFormula V3 when it is released.

But forget about that for now.

For now, just get all his free info.

Click for the Free Product Launch Information

Jeff’s first video is a “behind the scenes” account of some of the biggest product launches ever.

How would it be if you could apply even a fraction of what they did at those launches???

Let’s find out. Go watch the video now.

P.S. The video actually talks REAL numbers… including what these people are REALLY making. And I’m talking PROFIT – not some inflated sales numbers. Check it out:

Outsourcing: $2 plus $2 equals $200 (or more)

You’re about to discover why the difference between two dollars spent, and two dollars earned, is not four dollars, but as much as $200 to $2,000.

It sounds crazy, but it’s true. Let me explain.

There are lots of parts to your online business, and you probably divide your time among all of them.

Most of us tend to spend our time doing a lot of $10 to $20 per hour work.
That’s stuff like web page editing, making your product, writing blog posts, and doing lower level creative work.

If you’re like most people, you’d actually prefer to be spending your time on the $200 to $2,000 per hour work. That’s top level CEO stuff, like figuring out kind of business you are in, developing strategic marketing partnerships, and deciding what products to make.

(This is what Wall Street CEOs get paid the big bucks for, and what YOU want to be paid for, too.)

The big huge problem is that

1,000 WordPress Themes In One

Yesterday, I showed you how easy it is to find and load new WordPress themes.

Today I’ll answer the question “Which WordPress theme should you use?

(Note: f you want to watch a quick 6 minute video about this new WordPress theme instead of reading about it, go here: WordPress Theme Customization Video )

This question is one that has always stumped me when I wanted to start a new blog, because without fail, each theme I looked at had SOMETHING WRONG with it.

I mean, they were lots that were NEARLY perfect, but there was always that one thing.

For example, it could be perfect except for

  • That goofy header graphic
  • The header text wasn’t big enough for the title of my blog, or the wrong color, or the wrong font
  • Or maybe the background color was just horrible.
  • It could be that I needed the sidebar on the left, and it had the sidebar on the right.
  • Maybe it had no easy way to put ads on the site

Or maybe it was just plain ugly.

I dunno, it just seems that there’s always something wrong, and it was usually

Penny Wise and Pound Foolish with Your Online Business

I had a long online chat with Nathan Anderson yesterday about his “Niche ATM” sites. This morning, I was thinking about the webinar he’s doing tomorrow, and I thought I’d share with you the beginning of that chat with Nathan because frankly, there’s an important lesson to be learned.

In the video (that about a thousand of my readers watched over the last two days), Nathan shows how he automatically made a site about Auto Insurance — a VERY high value keyword in the Affiliate and Adsense space — and how in about a week it had ranked at #2 for his keyword.

Well, yesterday, I Googled the keyword he had optimized for, which was “Casualty Auto Insurance” and found that his site was now #1 on Google.

(You can Google the keyword yourself to see what I mean.)

On the blog (which you can see below the video after you opt in on Nathan’s site), some people were asking “Won’t the rankings deteriorate over time?”

Nathan replied that they wouldn’t. In fact, they’d rise. (Nathan is replying to a LOT of the blog posts there.)

The weird thing about what Nathan does is that — and I frankly don’t understand this fully yet — his sites rank highly WITHOUT getting backlinks.

So, when someone finally does link to the site, the site rises even more.

Again, I don’t get it, but I don’t have to, because

John Carlton’s Copywriting System is Free

John Carlton is one of the most ripped-off and copied copywriter on the planet, both offline and online. That’s because what he knows and teaches about copywriting makes people buy, and makes sellers rich.

It’s not hype. It’s just the way it is.

John says he can teach anyone how to write any kind of copy you need — sales letters, adwords ads, autoresponder messages — all of it.

Most people would pay thousands of dollars to learn from John, but John is giving away his Simple Writing System Express Course for free.

I know John personally, but I still signed up for his free course because

Roboform Password Manager and Form Filler

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssiZisMMFCg[/youtube]

People often ask me how I get so much done during the day. Here’s one of my tricks.

If you’re at all like me, working online all day, you probably log into a lot of different websites, several of them probably multiple times every day.

For me, the number is about 100 logins a day (I’ve checked my browser history to confirm that.) If I had to log in manually every day, I’d easily have 30 minutes to an hour sucked out of each and every day, just remembering, typing and retyping my usernames and passwords.

That’s why I use the Roboform password manager and form filler program.

It helps me concentrate on the work I do, eliminates the problem of ever forgetting a password, and stores my passwords totally securely. Plus, it works across both Firefox and Internet Explorer.

I made you a short video so you can see how it works. After you watch it, give Roboform a try for free. Installation takes about 30 seconds.

The program is already pretty cheap, but you can try it for free at RoboformFreeTrial.com — and it will even work forever for free with some limitations.

Let me know what you think. And if you’ve got some efficiency tips of your own, share them here, too. I’m always looking to save more time.

–Mark

FTC Disclosure: Just so you know, the link to Roboform is an affiliate link, for which I’ll earn a commission if you end up buying it. You can also go to Roboform.com directly, if you prefer.

What to Write About Every Day

Ever since I heard Tellman’s advice about mailing your list every day to increase your list’s trust in you, I’ve been thinking about that advice.

I also got a bunch of comments about my blog post from yesterday about that, wondering if it’d be a good thing or a bad thing if I wrote to you every day.

And like I said, I’ve been thinking…

I’m an avid talk-radio listener here in Los Angeles  (when I’m not listening to marketing audio books or teleseminar recordings), and I realized something pretty interesting.

Those talk radio guys talk at me every day, too…and I don’t mind.

Flash back to last week. Tellman is giving me his list-building advice about trust, your relationship with your list, and writing every day. And the question that I asked him was probably the same one that you want to ask.

And that’s
