The Internet Marketing Sales Funnel

Guys I have had a few questions relating to this from students and colleagues who have just joined the industry or who have just been confused for some time.

The Sales Funnel is the Sequence of how your advertising comes together. Without this sequence things won't make sense and you'll be sitting there confused and frustrated.

So here goes.....a little flow chart to help..

Social Media (like chat sites/blogs) --->Squeeze Page/Capture Page--->Sales Page

Social Media

Your social media sites should in someway point your readers or viewers to your Squeeze Page. Your social media should talk about the issues related to your squeeze page, for example...if your squeeze page is about your home business opportunity then add a link in social media to this squeeze page and discuss content specific to home business.

Squeeze Page

This is simply a page that allows your readers to request more information about your business and is the key to ensuring your advertising is spam compliant. None of us like receiving unsolicited emails trying to sell us something so make sure use the squeeze page (also known as a capture page) for its intended purpose.

Sales Page

This is where a reader or viewer will get all the detailed information they need about your business. This could be a personal web site or your company web site. Feel free to point them in the direction of some of the criticial questions people like to know up front ie How much is this going to cost me, don't try to hide this stuff it serves no purpose for you or your reader.

Lastlty make sure your contact details are clearly displayed so that people can get in contact with you if required.

Hope this helps.....yours in online marketing success

New Video Recording with Skype

Hi guys just wanted to put this out there.....Skype in conjunction with an Australian company have just released some new video recording software that is FREE, yes it is FREE...

Check out www.Vodburner.com - there are a bunch of tutorials there as well, I just recorded a quick chat with a colleague so I could test it out and it is very simple to use.

I think it will be of most benefit to me when I want to record training calls with my students and send them a copy so they can review the class it means they don't have to sit there and take lots of notes but they can listen and take it in, and I can send them the recording after.

The editing software lets you add audio, pictures, cut out content that is of no use and so on.

If you are running team meetings this will also be a handy piece of software to record those for others to listen to if they can't make a live conference call.

There is also an upgrade which costs $10USD per month or you can buy a lifetime licence for $99USD.

Cheers
