Review
If you don't get enough orders
from your web site, the answer is to get more visitors!
Right?
No, wrong!
Or, that's what Kim Wingate says in her report, "Turning
Visits Into Action - Proven strategies, tactics, and
techniques for improving Web site conversion ratios."
How often have you heard some Internet marketing expert tell
you that more traffic is the way to get more orders. We've
gotten so used to hearing it that most web marketers take it
for granted that more traffic is the solution to too few
orders.
This is simply wrong, Kim says. In order to get more traffic
you usually have to pay with either your time (for instance
writing articles to ezines) or your money (for instance buying
banners). Often both.
Not only is it often difficult to get more traffic, the
results can also be disappointing. If, for instance, the
additional traffic you get, consists of less targeted visitors,
it doesn't help you much.
What is the solution then?
- To turn more of your present visitors into customers, Kim
says.
And in the main part of her report, Kim shows how to do
exactly that. She points to different ways of improving your
web site so that more of your visitors will order your
products. Most of the improvements Kim suggests, can be
effectuated in just a few days. Some of them can even be made
in a couple of hours.
Some of the improvements Kim suggests, are quite small, and
they may at first seem unimportant. But as Kim shows, the
effect of these improvements may be dramatic.
Throughout the report, Kim gives a lot of real life
illustrations of how these techniques work successfully when
implemented.
Overall, Kim's method can be summarised with these words: Listen
to your visitors and customers, and take the consequence
of their feedback.
Consequently, Kim Wingate places a heavy emphasis on using web
statistics much more than many web masters currently do.
But Kim has found an even more helpful (but almost totally
neglected) tool for mapping how a typical visitor to your site
acts on your site. I think it would be unfair to reveal what
this technique is, here. But let me just say that it's
extremely simple. Anyone can use it, and the best is that it's
completely free.
In your web stats and the other tool/technique Kim describes,
you have a golden key to improving your site according to the
actual wishes of your customers. And when you do that, the
result will usually be more loyal customers and thus more
orders.
But these two tools are just a few of the tools and techniques
Kim Wingate gives you in "Turning Visits Into
Action." Kim gives you several other very helpful tools
and techniques for "listening" to your customers and
making the necessary improvements.
Another very interesting part of Kim's report, is her guide on
how to compete on your price. The conclusions Kim is coming to
here, may really surprise you.
I really like Kim's report. It's very factual but never
boring. Actually I found it quite easy to read.
What I particularly like about Kim's report, is that all her
strategies, techniques and recommendations of tools is based
upon empirical facts and evidence. Her strategies are not
built upon guesswork, but upon what has proven to work in real
life.
If you hate numbers and statistics, you may think that this
report contains too much of that kind of stuff. But personally,
I think that Kim has tried to make even this stuff easy to
understand and follow.
To complete the teachings of this report, I would suggest that
you supplement it's information with the information of, for
instance, Yanik Silvers' two courses, "Instant Sales
Letters" and "Instant Internet Profits". By
doing that you'll have a really strong cocktail.
I still think it's a good idea to get more traffic to your web
site, and I am sure Kim agrees. But I also totally agree that
it often makes much more sense to improve your web site in
order to turn more of your visitors into customers. You
certainly don't need to be a mathematical genius to understand
and implement the information Kim gives you. Far from it!
Of course it sometime takes some time and effort to improve
your web site. But as Kim says, if you've done it once, you'll
reap the benefits for a long time. And, as I've already said,
many of the improvements are quite easy to effectuate.
At the end of "Turning Visits Into Action", Kim has
a very useful summary of her suggestions for improving your
web site. This makes it easy to find the information you need,
after having gone through the report.
Summary
I really like this report by Kim Wingate. As I've said above,
it's built on factual research, and not upon some guesswork by
a marketing expert that's far away from the "real"
world, as we say.
Kim offers a wealth of easy-to-apply improvements of any web
site. Improvements that can make the conversion ratio of many
web sites much higher.
The report is easy to read, and Kim takes the time to give a
lot of helpful illustrations on how to follow her advice. And
most of her advice is rather easy to follow, and it doesn't
need to take very much time.
I definitely think this report is worth the money. Personally,
I look forward to use some of the techniques Kim offers her
readers in this report.
