If you have bought enough services or products on the net, then you have probably been scammed at least a couple times. Solid and strong testimonials can go a very long way, but it really just depends on the niche you are in. You cannot directly ask for a testimonial, but there are some things you can do to help you get them.

Keep your site visitors in mind because you will need to be aware of how many possible niche audiences you are attracting. In a way, your audience would be broad, and narrow at the same time. For instance, one of your products may be aimed at solving one problem, while the other could be a membership site on a different sub-topic. This is why you need to diversify your testimonials as well, so that you can get direct testimonials from customers for each of these products. Instead of using broad comments/feedback, go targeted for every product to make a bigger impact.

If you really want to knock people for a loop, then do all you can to get video testimonials. The emotional impact is just so much greater there is almost no comparison. Persuasion becomes a lot more easier with a video, where you don't have to struggle to convince your prospects about what you offer. It is a lot like the saying, seeing is believing, and that is an unconscious impact. You will find written testimonials still used more often because it is more difficult to get a video testimonial. When you think about what needs to be done for someone to send you a video, then you will understand why they are more rare. The best approach is to just ask for one, and if possible you will get it. You do realize that videos command higher prices when used in products, and part of that reason is why video testimonials are better.

Keep in mind that just about any little thing can make the difference between success and failure. Everyone has a story to tell, and it is also true that almost everyone more or less likes telling others about their story. It seems to be a fact of human nature that some prefer avoiding business related requests, and that is why there is resistance to mentioning, testimonials.

So avoid using, testimonial, and instead request feedback about any aspect of their experience. This is why you find a lot of sites putting up "Success Stories" instead of "Testimonials", because it just makes it sound less intimidating.

You should make every effort to extract as many candid testimonials as you can because they will flat out help you make more sales.

Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:28:00 -0800 Why The Pentax K5 DSLR Offers More Processing Ability http://painstakingbott30.posterous.com/why-the-pentax-k5-dslr-offers-more-processing http://painstakingbott30.posterous.com/why-the-pentax-k5-dslr-offers-more-processing

Digital cameras are loved by millions due to the photo quality and ease of use with the internet. Pentax has come out with their K5 DSLR camera recently in the continuing attempt to win market share. The amateur photo hobbyist should take some time to examine what it offers. All of the different camera manufacturers keep each other on their toes which plays to your favor. If you are not a professional photographer, then the K5 could very well be the digital SLR equivalent of a new sports car. Pentax seems to have tried to cover the most important areas for improvement. What you will find with the Pentax K5 DSLR are design enhancements with imaging, focusing and processor functions.

Let's take a quick look at the K5's auto-focus system because it does represent some changes you will want to know about. Improved sensors and software plus hardware are all involved with the auto-focus design. There is a tremendous amount going on behind the scenes with auto-focus involving up to twenty different coordinate sensor points. Additional design improvements included software specifically for processing auto-focus. This means you can have such a great diversity and variety of photo opportunities that you will never run out of. Sometimes there are very challenging lighting conditions, low light, and for that you can just use the spot beam on the K5.

If you have ever experienced a 100% field of view in an optical viewfinder, then you will appreciate that in this camera. Prism finders are an obviously critical component to high quality images, and their Penta Prism optical system will not disappoint. The stated spec of 100% is actually just barely under due to the way it is calculated, but it may help you to know the magnification of 1.0 is what that is based on. Of course the only thing that matters is the end result, and most of the technical jargon is not as important for many people. Most find greater areas of difficulty with evening shooting due to lighting conditions, but we were pleasantly surprised with the K5 in that regard.

It is the intense competition in the camera market that compels companies like Pentax to look for new ways to do more. The stronger imaging abilities with the K5 are proof of all of that. For some reason people love to customize their photos and pics, and of course a lot of that can be done. Digital cameras employ all kinds of filters that are used with creating special effects and you can further customize them as you like.

You will have complete control over what you can do with your digital images. Quite simply, the Pentax K5 brings you their most recent applications for digital photography. What you will find in all of Pentax's digital lines are intelligent applications meant to give the end user a great experience. This camera is an excellent example of making the most from what has been recently developed. A software engine lives in the K5, and that is spectacular in our minds. This is a fast operating camera, and a huge part of that lies with the software engine.

Mon, 21 Jan 2013 08:39:00 -0800 Copywriting Tips For The DIY Marketer http://painstakingbott30.posterous.com/copywriting-tips-for-the-diy-marketer http://painstakingbott30.posterous.com/copywriting-tips-for-the-diy-marketer

There are degrees of success with copywriting, but a moderately competent writer can receive fees in the four figures per assignment. It is true that words sell, and if you're skilled in this field you can sell just about anything.

A copywriter can work as a freelance writer, an in-house writer, or even market his own products and write all the necessary copy for it. If there's one thing that you should keep in mind about copywriting, it's that it can make you achieve real Internet marketing success, and help you achieve your online goals easily. True enough, learning this skill takes real effort and time. Yes, it's an interesting area of study, and to that end we'll share a few tips you can learn and put to work right away.

Your offer is critical, so hit them hard with it; meaning, make it one they'll have a hard time walking away from. When you're crafting out your sales copy, keep in mind that your prospects will buy from you only if you give them a reason to. One possible reason people are hesitant about making the buy decision is because they want to look around - at your competitors. Over-delivering on the offer is just one method you can use to distinguish yourself. That refers to adding as much as possible in the way of value. You want people think your offer is the greatest thing they've seen, and you'll accomplish that overall with bonuses. So your aim is to wow them and make your sales page, and offer, rise head and shoulders above the rest. It is very helpful to do what you can to make the reader comfortable and feel like the risk of buying is minimal. The standard approach is with the money back, risk free guarantee. A lot of the more inexperienced marketers have a habit of being afraid they'll be taken for a ride by customers. However that is really not very common in most markets, and the increased sales you will get by having the guarantee make any risk worth it. If it ever does happen, just forget about it because really it happens very infrequently. Make sure your guarantee does not read like the shuttle launch menu. You can help yourself even more by stretching out the terms of your guarantee to way past anything sensible, and your request will drop even more.

Try to use words that will uplift your prospects, not bring them down, so try words like "free," "awesome," "unbelievable," and "wealth." tell people exactly what it will do for them, And when you use such strong words in your copy, you make your prospects feel happy and special. You can't really write good copy without some hype, just stay within the boundaries of honesty.

As you can see from these few copywriting tips, there are many points to consider when writing good copy. You have to perfect them one after another so that you can churn out a good copy for any product/service you want. If you're just a beginner, then try to look at all things in terms of what they benefits are as opposed to the features. There are fields of study related to copywriting, so it's a good idea to try to learn some things from those areas.

Sun, 20 Jan 2013 08:54:00 -0800 The Correct Way to Flip Sites http://painstakingbott30.posterous.com/the-correct-way-to-flip-sites http://painstakingbott30.posterous.com/the-correct-way-to-flip-sites

Site flipping can be a highly profitable business that can give you great long term results if applied correctly. But like any other business, it takes time to setup and give formidable results. It will not make you rich overnight but it will be an excellent foundation to make you successful in purchasing and selling sites.

This article presents three suggestions that are easy to apply which you should consider when you decide to make a profit from flipping websites.

One important rule that you should never forget is that your website should be generating revenue before you put it up for sale. Nowadays, in all honesty, it's quite easy to create a great site with a little time and money. The valuable aspects of a site, however, are its revenue and the number of visitors it receives. Why would anyone be interested in investing in your site if it's not generating a profit? It's true that some people flip new sites that have no traffic or income, but they usually don't make a sale. To ensure that your site flipping business generates good profits then you need to take the time to monetize the website and ensure that it is making some money.

No matter what you have heard, you can sell off your site even it if isn't making a huge income. Even a $50 income is sufficient to sell your site for ten times the revenue it is generating. Google AdSense and affiliate marketing are the easiest ways to monetize your site so it starts generating revenue, even though there are many other monetization options out there. These two income sources always seem to be successful. All you need to do is focus on getting targeted traffic with the right content on your site, and the income will follow. Keep your auctions to just one week in length when you're setting them up. You definitely want to avoid having your auction end too quickly. You want all the bidders to have an opportunity to bid so that you can reach your BIN price or sell it at a higher price. Otherwise, never let it go for something like a month, and if you do that people will simply forget about your auction - trust us. Your best bet is about a week, and you can let it go just a little longer depending on the bidding.

You need to be especially careful of the people you deal with when you are new to the field. There are experienced scam artists out there who are on the lookout for new site flippers so that they can rip them off. People with no track record or any history should be avoided at all costs. Make sure you interact with him/her and ask questions so that you can be certain that you're not being scammed.

Overall, flipping sites can be considered one of the most lucrative and sustainable online business models. But it will take some time before you actually start seeing profits coming your way, until then make sure you're applying the above tips in the best possible way to see good results.
