Why He Hates You...

Posted by LaShanda Henry on January 13, 2010 at 7:04pm

From time to time I like to spotlight the books of Black Authors featured on Black Writers Connect. Today's spotlight book is 'Why He Hates You: How Unreconciled Maternal Anger is Destroying Black Men and Boys' by Janks Morton. I was first introduced to Janks' work a few years back when he produced the very powerful, must-see documentary, 'What Black Men Think'. With the release of his new book, Janks provides us with a new opportunity to get to the root of the issues that continue to affect the black male community and cripple the relationships between black men and women, black mothers and their sons. You can get your own copy of Why He Hates You by visiting: http://whyhehatesyou.com. Most Recent Black Books Featured on Black Writers Connect

How to Know if Your Website is KILLING Your Business

Posted by Paradise on January 2, 2010 at 9:08pm

How to Know if Your Website is KILLING Your BusinessBy Barry A. Densa, freelance marketing & sales copywriterJust because you build it, and they come... doesn’t mean they’ll stay.So you’ve got Google adwords, banner ads, co-registration and joint venture deals, postcards, print ads, radio commercials, your mother-in-law and everyone else you can bribe, cajole and threaten, driving traffic to your website.Yes! You’re an absolute genius at driving traffic to your website. You’re getting a gazillion hits and unique page impressions—every minute!You’ve got so much traffic, tying up so much bandwidth, that Al Gore is thinking of producing a new movie about you: An Inconvenient Internet Presence: How one marketer destroyed what I invented.And yet, despite all your fame and glory... no one’s buying what you’re selling!In other words...Your Website Sucks!Way back in the stone age of Internet history... roughly ten or so years ago... a website was a website was a website.They all looked alike, they all worked alike (which basically meant they really didn’t do anything) and they all accomplished the same thing—pretty much nothing.A website was a virtual business card. And since every business ordered business cards, every business ordered a website.And then vanity and misguided creativity took hold of the entrepreneurial imagination.The business card website quickly evolved into a multi-varied, multi-page behemoth. And as technology grew faster than our ability to master its consequences, the art of website design became an addiction—consuming the health, time, patience and money of the website owner—and the unwary visitor.Pop-ups, hover-overs and other hovercraft, Web 2.0, RSS, flash media, video, audio, 4-wheel drive, GPS, this and that, inspired and invigorated web developers and designers to continually raise the bar. Their ultimate end game: keeping visitors hostage to a website—tossing them into the black hole of Web pyrotechnics, where nothing, not even light can escape.And it didn’t bother them in the least that their Frankenstein website creations required an eternity to load on the average computer screen—eating RAM, disturbing REM, crashing hard drives, destroying transmissions, shackling legs in irons—lions and tigers and bears, oh my!Okay, let’s get back on track here...Today, there are basically two and a half types of websites... those that inform and educate, those that inform, educate, and sell... and those that only sell.Do You Know to Which Group Your Website Belongs?Are you sure?As a marketing and sales copywriter—I can tell you in a heartbeat.I get phone calls and emails—almost daily—from individuals and company representatives lamenting the fact that their website doesn’t convert, and they want to know if I can help.My first question, of course, is... how much money you got, pal?(Just kidding... but it is in the back of my mind.)Anyway... here are those two and a half website styles in a nutshell... and in their absolute worst incarnations...The “I’ve really got nothing to say” WebsiteTypically, this website belongs to a small business owner. They’ve got a single product or a single service that they’re offering—yet, they have 20 or more pages on their website.They’ve got a home page, a contact page, an “about us” page, a mission page, a subscribe-to-our-newsletter page, a link page, a testimonial page, a preferred vendor page, a site page, a leave-a-comment page, and a product page for each person, animal, business or situation for which this one product can be of use.But... there’s only two or three sentences on each page—if that much! So by default or design, graphical wizardry fills the remaining and yawning void.Now, is there anything wrong with having a “brochure” style website?Of course not—if you’re GE, Amazon, Dell Computer or any other business that has a diverse and extensive product and service mix.For quicker and easier surfing (read: optimized usability) such a company needs a website that will logically and intuitively segment their wares and information onto different web pages.But, if your company is a one-trick pony... a microsite will do you just fine.Why waste your visitor’s time, forcing them to click here and there (and out of boredom flee to your competitor’s website), when everything they need to know and find about you, your product or service can comfortably and ergonomically fit on one page?“...But I don’t want my website to look like one of those long-scrolling websites, you know, the type that sells information products!”You’re laughing. Trust me... I hear that all the time, and it kills me.My preferred retort to that bit of ignorance should be: “Well, those sites, the better conceived ones, typically rack up millions of dollars in sales—usually in a very short time. And so how much did you make last week?”But instead, I politely suggest that they tell their Web designer to be sure to stay away from that sort of, uh, look—but still put it on one page (two at the most).Which now brings us to “that” sort of look, or site, the long scrolling, one-page kind.The Kick-butt, Killer Commando WebsiteBecause I don’t want to get into the debate, again, over whether long copy outsells short copy (it absolutely does!)... let me just state that a long scrolling, one-page, “information product kind” of website has but one purpose in its virtual life. To sell one thing—and to sell that one thing right off the page—right then and there!And because “properly executed” websites of this kind can sell, and sell very well... uninitiated and salivating entrepreneurs who won’t take the time—or spend the money—to achieve a similar level of selling sophistication... will blindly, poorly and sacrilegiously copy that type of website’s form and style—while ignoring its compelling substance.They’ll slap up a website, using a website design program they downloaded off the Internet the night before.And then they’ll fill it up with pages and pages (the amount of which seemingly corresponds, oddly enough, to the entrepreneur’s age) of overblown, hype-filled, irrelevant, stream of conscious verbal diarrhea.And Holy Baloney! The impossible promises they make—with no credible proof provided—and the multitude of “freebies” offered (valued at thousands of dollars more than the $49.95 or $495 program, system or product being hawked)—is an absolute marvel to behold.And then, of course, there’s the false deadline and limited supply (without a reasonable explanation as to why).The list of unadulterated snake oil BS, sales gaffs and obvious chicanery on these sites is endless—indeed, the list is as long as the website.Fortunately though, few are swindled, and these sites disappear relatively quickly, simply because...they don’t sell well.And yet... the online, long-copy, scrolling sales letter, when conceived with good and honest intentions and executed with consummate sales skill, can quickly create a fortune, and a loyal and well-deserved following for a gifted entrepreneur where neither existed before.That cheap imitations have muddied the worth and image of one of the mightiest and most sublime manifestations of salesmanship in print... is unfortunate. But they will endure... to the benefit of seller... and customer.Which now brings us, finally, to the website by half...The Landing, Splash, Squeeze PageThis rose by any other name—should be short, sweet and to the point.What a surgical military strike is to the field of combat, the landing page is to the theater of marketing. Its sole purpose is conversion—to get the reader to buy, subscribe or inquire—fast. All the “selling and persuasion” typically comes before the visitor lands on this short-copy, quick-strike page.Interestingly, one mistake many marketers make in regard to the landing page is not in the design of one—but in the lack of one.They’ll do all the right things (hopefully) to generate traffic—but rather than drive the visitor to a page that is a dedicated follow-up to the ad the visitor just read—they drive them to their company’s home page, instead.Then the visitor has to hunt and click for their particular item of interest.If you give a visitor/potential buyer the slightest opportunity to get sidetracked and not complete the desired action—they will!Another mistake is not designing the landing page to look and read the same way as the ad that attracted them in the first place. In short, there’s no continuity—no sense that they’re in the right place—primarily because there’s no repetition of the offer made in the ad.Even though the potential customer has already been seduced, persuaded and sold on purchasing your product or service—or just providing their email address—you still must continue to seduce, persuade and sell them on your landing page.You just don’t have to take as much time doing it. Just repeat the salient selling points already made in the ad—including the guarantee or risk reversal element.But don’t be too quick and smart about it, either.Don’t request your customer’s credit card number in a cold, calculating and peremptory manner. Continue to entice and excite your customers on your landing page—so that they can’t bear to wait a moment longer to give you their name and email address... or their money.---Source: Barry A.

Blogging in the New Year … 2010 Plans and Predictions

Posted by LaShanda Henry on January 1, 2010 at 12:26am

I just finished reading the 2010 Web Predictions on Black Web 2.0, which pointed out an important fact. Big Businesses are going to be blogging now more than ever in 2010. New Media, Social Media … Blogs… it’s all changing the way everybody does business. That means you better bring in the New Year with Blogging on the brain! Lucky for you I’ve put together the new ‘Blogging for Beginners’ video series. [Watch Now] Top Priority in 2010: Building Blogs instead of regular websites, Blogging for Profit, Branding Your Business Online with Blogs, and Using Blogs to generate new income. [Learn More Here] New Year, New You, New Money in 2010 Tomorrow marks the first day towards a new you in the New Year! For me, today is day 16. I am officially 16 days into my 24 day Holiday vacation in sunny Florida. What does my vacation have to do with your beginning? Well…. everything! Today, I’m aiming to share a little inspiration and A LOT of motivation for you by being an example. This is your year to make the kind of money you want to take your own vacation, to where you want, whenever you want by making it a POINT to create a new you with new wealth in 2010! Here’s the deal… I’m gonna give you quick consultation and you don’t even have to pay me for it (smile). Here is the most important thing that I learned during my transformation from side hustle sista to work at home mom, “When you are new to building an online business, it can be difficult to find people who want to buy, but it’s pretty easy to find folks who are willing to pay!” In other words, there are people online who want to pay you to: 1. Teach Them Something 2. Do Something For Them 3. Sell Something For them The key is to find out who these people are, so I did! When that light bulb revelation went off in my head, I quickly discovered the easiest ways to make money online are: 1. Affiliate Marketing: Making a Commission by Selling Other People’s Stuff 2. Coaching and Consulting: Teaching my skills to people who want to invest in themselves (ie aspiring entrepreneurs) 3. Selling My Services to people who want to get the job done BUT they don’t have the time OR desire to do it for themselves If you want New Money in this New Year, get with the program! Take some of those hours that you slave away at your computer looking for buyers and start catering to the millions of payers online. Ready for more?

The Truth about Selling eBooks and other Stuff Online

Posted by LaShanda Henry on December 31, 2009 at 2:00am

As someone who makes a living selling eBooks, let me tell you something that you need to know, but have yet to hear. There are two (just two) effective ways to sell eBooks (honestly most any digital content online). Before getting to the meat of this post, let me quickly say that most people don’t make money selling eBooks because they don’t do one f the two things I am going to mention. What they do (generally speaking) is slave over the eBook and the Cover and then put their book on a website, hoping that will be enough… but it’s not. In my opinion, the only people who make good money selling eBooks are people who have ‘fans’ and/or people who know how to market high-demand eBooks. I break this concept down in my eBook, ‘How to Really Make Money Coaching Online,’ but I can tell you what I mean right now. I personally did not start writing eBooks in the hopes to make money at it. I started writing eBooks, because people kept asking me how to market their businesses online and/or get into social networking. At that point I already had an audience, mainly because of the advice I shared on social networks and the articles I wrote in my blog. When the light bulb hit me, (that other people found value in my words) I started writing eBooks. If you have a lot to say or you love to write (writing is honestly the easy part). As soon my first eBooks were done, the started to sell quickly via my blog and my social network. How did they sell so quickly, without me spending any money on advertising? I already had a fan-base in the making between my social network, Black Business Women Online, and my sistasense.com blog. I already had people asking me for the information (many were waiting for me to create the right products for them). When you have an audience, it’s easier to get your eBook business off the grown. If no one knows you or follows you, its going to be hard to make any real money at selling eBooks. This is why I encourage you to learn more about blogging, social networking, and attracting customers. Every good internet marketer knows that you’ve got to have a growing fan-base if you want to have ever growing sales. If you want to get into selling eBooks to make money online think about your starting point. If you are into network marketing, or coaching, or some sort of industry in which you teach others (ie) Information Entrepreneurship AND if people take notice and stay connected with you, then you have an audience. In this kind of situation, creating an eBook makes perfect sense. It allows you to diversify your products, tap into new streams of income, and increase your credibility as an expert in your field. If you are practically invisible online you should start off by building your online presence and you can do this by:

Learning How to Blog Online [more details]
Learn How to Sell on Social Networks and Use Social Media Marketing to Increase Your Buzz [more details]
Learn How to Drive Traffic to Your Website and Find Customers Online [more details]

The other big truth about selling eBooks is that if you don’t have a following, but you want to get into selling eBooks you should focus on writing about topics people are searching for. Every second of every day, people are desperately seeking out information online. Click here to read more about writing eBooks that Sell.

3 Web Business Tips + 5 Marketing Strategies Explained

Posted by LaShanda Henry on December 15, 2009 at 1:37am

Before I share the tips, let me fill you in on a few things. My too-good-to-be true 2009 Closeout Offer has ended. I know a few folks were going to grab it later and missed out, so for you guys I’ve added 20 Last Minute Discount Coupons. Be one of the 20 to get this final opportunity to grab my 15+ Marketing eBooks, Videos, and 30 Days coaching for $29 ($297 value). Discount Code Sec29 [Click Here] This past weekend, I had a great phone conversation with a fellow social media sista / aspiring entrepreneur. Of the many things we talked about as two women in Black Business, the big topic was ‘Can black business women work together?’ The two of us cited several instances where we felt alone and/or longing to be connected to a group bigger than ourselves. These feelings often lead to the thoughts like, “Maybe, it’s me. Maybe, they just don’t like me.” Perhaps right now, you are feeling that you’re the only one in your situation and everybody else is in this GREAT group you can’t seem to get into. I’m here to tell you a few things: 1. You are not alone. At times it may seem like everybody is cruising while your boat is sinking, but that’s not true. We are all running a personal race. The best kept secret of most successful entrepreneurs is that they keep running with a smile on their face, while others throw in the towel. Whatever you are doing in your business, stay consistent and keep going. 2. Do you have a fan page? For some reason, people have this imaginary theory that they can just put up a webpage and people will buy. The only reason I can afford to work at home, is because I work hard at being a useful resource to others. If people don’t know you or trust you, they won’t buy from you. What are you doing to build your list of fans and followers online? 3. Do you have proof? Before I even start to share how you can increase your sales, think about the ones you’ve already got. Do you have proof people want what you are selling or are you the only buyer on your list? Proof of interest is vital to understanding if you’ve got a profitable business and also it’s useful when trying to convince others why they should buy from you. Remember: No proof… no profit. As always, I found my phone conversation with a fellow Business Sista, was helpful to the both of us. She was able to ask me questions about working the web and I was able to get a more in depth understanding of the needs of new Entrepreneurs Online. I’ve been considering devoting two days per week to doing phone consultations for Women Entrepreneurs? Let me know if you would have this useful by leaving me a response / comment.

Blogging for Beginners (New Video Series)

Posted by LaShanda Henry on December 10, 2009 at 7:30am

"It's ALIVE...." [lol] Right now I feel like the guy who created Frankenstein. In between coaching and designing and being mom, I've been working on a new series of video tutorials entitled 'Blogging for Beginners' and its FINALLY FINISHED. This project has been nipping at my neck for months and I've been itching to get it done because practically everybody who sends me an email question wants to know...

How to start a blog
How to build a website they can easily mange themselves (a.k.a.) a blog
How to get Me to design a Blog for them even though they can't afford me (lol)
How to market their blog
How to brand their business
How to promote their business via blogging and social media
And the list goes on...

SO I sat down and hammered out 30+ videos on:

Installing and Setting Up a Wordpress Blog
Marketing Your Blog
Building Your Brand Online Via Your Blog
Social Media Marketing & Blogging
Blogging for Profit [The BIG Favorite]

I could have just written an eBook but video tutorials are so easy to follow and I really wanted to show how just about anybody can use wordpress, change their theme, add plugins, and DO SO MUCH MORE. I think this is my best video series to date and its just for those of you who have been begging me to tell you everything I know about blogging. This is good stuff and it's way too valuable to just throw up online ... so sorry guys, you won't find it on my youtube channel. I just posted it on WebTechGurl and it's $149 ($349 Value). You know me, I always like to discount my stuff so that everybody can afford to get what I have to offer SO here is the deal:

The First 5 People to Grab This Video Series get it for $49: Discount Code: B4B49
The Next 20 People to Grab Blogging for Beginners get it for $99: Discount Code: B4B99

I would love love love to give everyone $49 coupons but the babies gotta eat! (lol) You know how it is. Your speedy purchase will of course be rewarded with a nice savings. Just like with my 2009 Closeout Deal, I can't help but give you a TON of quality information, so I guarantee you my course is worth every penny. Not to mention hundreds of dollars that you save on hiring a designer when you learn how to build a blog for yourself. Oh and one more thing... to completely make sure everyone gets the most out of this series, once you signup, I give you the opportunity to request videos on blogging that might not be already in the series (at no additional cost). Though I can't guarantee that I can get to ALL your requests, I will do what I can. I currently covered the Essential Blogging Concepts that beginners need/should know. Official URL: http://ecourses.webtechgurl.com/blogging-for-beginners/ If you have questions about the course, leave me a comment.

Utilize the Automated Greeting Card Strategy !

Posted by Donna on December 9, 2009 at 6:23pm

Since greeting cards have been proven to be the best means of following up nad building client relationships, why don't more people use them?.It is incovenient and time consuming to drive to the card store and pick out cards. Then thee is addressing the envelope, hunting for astamp, and the time it takes to hand write the message inside the card. And finally the trip to the Post Office to mail it.. The expense. Cards typically cost $3-5 each at a store, plus the cost of gas to drive to the store and the Post Office.We forget. Birthdays and important occasions are hard to keep track of with out a system to help us.Having an AUTOMATED system to print and mail the cards for you is the answer to these problems and to creating an effective follow up and customer retention system.The system also needs to be designed to send out multiple cards at once in order to allow a business owner or professional to mail targeted cards to their entire list at one time, or subgroups of that list. This would be an enormous time saver and enable a business to set up campaigns with different messages to different subgroups all going out in the mail on specified dates, similar to an email auto responder but with much more personal impact than an email.Imagine the effect of integrating the automation of an email drip marketing campaign with the personal touch of sending specific, targeted greeting cards to prospects and clients!About the personal handwriting issue....What if you found an automated system such as the one described above that also sentout your cards in YOUR OWN handwriting with out you having to actually take the time to write out each one individually? Would that be amazing?At this point you may be asking, " Does such a system exist?" Well, we were determined to find one that met all these requirements ( and more) and we have been using it with phenomenal results for several years.

MorningsWaking up at 4am in the morning wondering who I amStruggling to go back to sleep but something tugs insideA longing to know what is missingwhere can it be foundnot knowing where to lookor what it is i'm looking forSoon a shimmer off light begins to enter the roomThe sun is begining to rise and then the baby criesAnd another day beginsBefore the other endsAnd I yet to know who what or why....Poem by Richetta BlackmonAre you searching for Direction?
