Grab a coffee/tea beer or water and let's talk conversions...

Edit:: This was going to be mostly about tips on optimizing your site to improve conversions but it's a mix of that and helping with persuasive copywriting.::

Here's a bit of a rule I go by especially when promoting digital products. I love Clickbank - screenshots are a few of my Clickbank accounts I have that are going strong but this advice can help with a lot of affiliate programs.

I'm mainly talking SEO here but the same rule would apply for PPC only you would have more tracking. I don't teach PPC but I want to share some tips to help boost your conversion rates because the smallest change can make a huge impact on your conversion rate.

If my site doesn't make a sale after 100 clicks on my affiliate links, especially if the traffic is targeted (buyer intent or presell content) I make changes!

This could be changing the color of my links, tweaking my copy, adding media or changing the layout of my page.

Then when I do get that sale within an average of 1 in 100 clicks I tweak until I get that down to 1 sale in every 50 clicks - I'm normally kind of happy with that but there's always room for improvement so I try to tweak until I'm getting a sale every 20 clicks (hops, if we're talking Clickbank).

How can you optimize to improve conversions?

There's a lot of things that can improve or even hurt your conversion rate.

Check your copy - are you giving the visitors a reason NOT to buy the product? Maybe you have words on your page that discourage a visitor from buying.

You need to make sure your articles/reviews (copy) is connecting with the reader on an emotional level - and reassure them that the product does what it says and they are getting what they pay for.

Tell stories that they will relate too - hit those pain points, emotions and get in their heads - why are they wanting to buy the product in the first place?

This is why I tell people to promote products in a niche they're passionate about or have an interest or had experience with - you'll be able to tell stories that connect with those interested in the product.

Most of my reviews, presell pages and even some of my how-to guides are about 70% storytelling which is why my conversion rates are pretty high.

It's all about hooking them and playing with emotions, desires and getting them nodding - the content has to flow and relate to the reader so they're saying in their head "Wow, this exactly what I'm going through" or "this person is just like me" or better "I really need what this person is using".

Here's a bit of an example of storytelling that I would use in a review or presell content - even an advertorial.

This will help you people who are stuck or sick of writing boring spec type reviews. This is also to help get those ideas flowing for that next review your write or outsource...

Now, I've had a back injury in the past, and ever since I've had a really bad back so I would promote a product that helps people relieve their pain and get back to normal living.

There's a product called Sciatica SOS on Clickbank so I'll use this as an example.

Here's how I would approach this in a story.

##########################

Thinking About Buying Sciatica SOS? Read My Review First - Here's What I Really Think...

Hi, my name is Wazza, I'm a father of 5 girls, a husband and l love kickin back watching rugby league on telly.

I used to LOVE playing football, I was pretty good at it too but 12 years ago I had a back injury at work that changed my life...

You know how everyone always says keep your back straight and lift with your knees? Well, I must have heard it a hundred times but silly me, I didn't listen!

One day at work I bent down to pick up a heavy box off the ground, I just bent down to grab it thinking nothing of it. I grabbed that box and that's when I felt the most excruciating pain I've ever felt - like I was electrocuted in my lower back and punched in the gut at the same time...

It knocked the bloody wind out of me, but the pain....man it was brutal!

I screamed out for help and luckily my workmate Brian was just around the corner.

A trip to the hospital soon confirmed I had a disc bulge in my lower back. It was pretty bad and took a good 3 weeks before I felt better.

But apparently, once you've hurt your back like that it's prone to happen again and again over time. I found this to be the case because ever since that day I hurt my back, it's happened multiple times and now I suffer from sciatic pain all the time.

That horrible shooting pain down the leg, it's enough to make a grown man cry.

I spent YEARS going back and forth to doctors, chiropractors and physio. I spent thousands of dollars on my back but nothing seemed to work...

###########################

Once I've told a story - and mentioned a few things people can relate to who've had the same pain I go then into the 'Discovery" - this is where you tell people how you found the product you're reviewing or promoting.

^ This is all probably a little different to reviews you've read - most people go into specs, benefits and jump straight into what the product is, does and pros and cons..

Sure it works but this works better because you're building a bit of a relationship with the reader in your copy.

Here's how I would go about this "Discovery" part...

###########################.

I was tired of forking out money and wasting my time and being poked and probed by doctors and chiropractors.

So I decided to see what good old Google could do for me. I must have spent hours researching and found a bunch of websites with all these weird and wonderful 'cures' but it was a Facebook group I came across were a bunch of people were talking about this Sciatica SOS guide.

There seemed to be a lot of people praising it so jumped on the website and read this page (Affiliate Links).

Everything just made sense and asking a few questions with their email support I decided to give it a try so here's my Sciatica SOS review...

My Sciatica SOS Review - What You Need To Know...

##########################

^ This is where I would start my review of what the product is, what it does, who it's for, benefits and the pain it solves plus some pros and cons.

Something else you should include in your review is PROOF it works. If you can show proof - say you're promoting weight loss and you have before and after pics of your success - add them because it will boost your conversions. Any kind of proof the product does what it says it does will boost sales.

Here's a bit of a bonus for you all since you're part of the group. I'm going to share a bit of a template I follow when writing reviews - you can give this to your writers as well if you outsource.

--- Format of the review template: ---
* Attention grabbing headline (almost clickbait material)

* First paragraph that hooks them into reading your content. Shocking/must read/you need to know ect..

* Introduction and story/emotional hook: Hi my name is Wazza, I'm a father of 5 girls, husband and spend most of my time in front of a computer. 12 years ago I had a back injury that changed my life completely...

* The pains and struggles: More story that relates to the reader - why they're searching in the first place. Don't you hate when your sciatic pain is so bad you can't even go grocery shopping? Can't do the things I used to LOVE doing.

* The Discovery: How I discovered the product. For years I spent thousands of dollars going to physio, doctors and specialists to try and fix my back. Nothing seemed to work..Enough was enough so I turned to good old Google to see what other options I was missing...That's when I discovered Sciatica SOS.

* What it is: What it is, what it does and who it's for.

* Does it work: Yes of course it does - here's the benefits - reassure them it does work...

* My amazing results: After following Sciatica SOS techniques I've been pain free for 2 months and starting to get my life back on track. I'm leaving the house more, doing activities with the kids again and I'm feeling good about myself - for years I felt depressed and sorry for myself but now I'm living normally.

* Before You Buy: Just a heads up, before you buy this amazing product, I found a coupon code that will save
you money. Simply go to xyzcoupons,com/page and follow the instructions - saved me 40% off!!!

* Conclusion: Wrap it up by giving a brief rundown what was in the article, reassure them again that the product does what it says it does and don't forget to use that coupon code...

----end template----

In your review format it just like I do with my review template at https://amninjas.com/perfect-affiliate-product-review-template/

- Picture of a real person or a stock image that's not a model.
- Break your content up so it's really easy to read.
- Make use of headings - I use h3 headings only and 1 h1 of course.
- Add links to the offer as well - direct aff link + the coupon lander.

Okay, enough about copywriting, hopefully, you can see the power of telling stories and sharing real life experiences rather than writing those boring essay type reviews you see all over the web..meh!

If you're getting visitors but not many of them are hitting your affiliate link try adding images of a person looking towards your link or an image of an arrow pointing at your links.

I have an old blog post here https://amninjas.com/using-images-to-increase-click-through-rates/ which will explain it better.

This affiliate marketing stuff or even selling your own products - it's about testing, tracking and tweaking until you've got a good conversion rate that you're happy with.

There's no use ranking in the top of Google if your page doesn't covert right? Or no use spending money on ads if your presell doesn't do it's job.

Put yourself in the buyer's shoes and get inside their heads.

This post turned into something different than I first started but ended up talking about writing content rather than conversion optimization.

It's already too long but hey, hopefully, you got something out of this post and it helped. Such a scatter brain lately lol...

How to Write Copy that Google Loves

Erin Huebscher | February 1, 2019

8 min read

93% of online experiences begin with a search engine.

This statistic isn’t meant for shock value. Rather, it’s meant to emphasize just how much our everyday lives rely on search engines such as Google to supply us with useful and relevant content.

And, because Google’s entire existence is built around creating an index of all the world’s information and making it accessible to all, it’s no wonder why they value content that real people (aka their customers) are looking for. 

As a writer, however, the question remains: how do you write copy that Google loves—or put another way, how do you optimize it for search engines?

An SEO Refresher

Search Engine Optimization, aka SEO, is that ubiquitous term people in the industry just love to throw around.

“It’s just not SEO-friendly enough…” 

“I think we need more SEO.”

“Are you taking into consideration SEO?” 

Without getting too technical, Moz describes SEO as the practice of increasing the quality and quantity of traffic to your website through organic search page results (SERPs). And when we say “organic,” we don’t mean Whole Foods-organic. Organic traffic simply refers to any sort of traffic that you don’t have to pay for. Meaning? That traffic comes naturally. 

In order to receive this “natural” traffic, your copy needs to be optimized. In fact, the better optimized your website copy is, the better Google ranks your website in their organic search page results. So, using SEO means you’re doing everything you can to make sure that your website ranks higher on that neverending list of page results. 

But why does optimizing your copy actually matter? Because you’ll receive more clicks, more shares, more likes, more engagement, and you guessed it, more conversions.

SEO Copywriting v. “Normal” Copywriting

Make no mistake, writing copy for the web is nothing short of an art form; an art that undoubtedly requires talent but most importantly, the ability to write optimized content that resonates with users. Remember, even if you’ve written fantastic copy, if no one can find your website, then all those beautiful words of yours will be hidden from view. 

To clarify the difference between SEO copywriting and “normal” copywriting, Namecheap’s Senior SEO Content Manager Kevin Church eloquently sums it up:

“With ‘normal’ copywriting for an article or print ad, you’ve probably already got the audience’s attention in some way or another—it’s in a magazine they read, there’s an attractive image, etc.—but with SEO copywriting, you have to think about how they’re going to find your piece through Google or another search engine. You’ll want to do keyword research and create a strong outline based on actual interest versus what you think readers want.”

More on keywords later but in essence, SEO copywriting is primarily driven by metrics, meaning you’re specifically creating content to attract search engine traffic while at the same time appealing to your users.  

As Liam Barrett, Namecheap’s On-Page SEO Specialist, explains: 

“The best copywriters use the best of both worlds. For example, ‘normal’ copywriting can tell a great story and keep a user engaged, but may not reach the correct audience. By adding SEO research into your content, you can refine your content to get more visibility.”

Prioritize Keyword Research

If you really want the copy you write to rank well in Google, you’ll have to roll up your sleeves and do a little research—keyword research. 

Think of it sort of like preparing for a first date with someone you really like. You tend to do your homework before meeting them, don’t you? It’s the same rationale with keywords. Knowing which ones will pique your audience’s (ahem, date’s) interest and take notice of you. 

Proper keyword research ultimately means understanding your audience. More specifically, it’s knowing what they need and/or what particular problems they’re they looking to solve. When doing keyword research you may notice that people describe their problems in a variety of ways. 

For example, let’s say you’re looking for an inexpensive hotel in Italy. While you may type in, “cheap Italian hotels” others may search for, “inexpensive places to stay in Italy” or “affordable accommodation in Tuscany.”  

If you can begin to understand and anticipate which words/phrases your readers are most likely to use to describe their problems or queries, you’re well on your way to writing more compelling copy (and ranking higher in Google). Quicksprout, an online marketing resource, does a great job of identifying what keyword research can reveal to you. 

Now that you know the importance of keyword research, it’s time to make keyword research tools your best friend. 

Rand Fishkin over at Moz gives an excellent tutorial on how discover and prioritize the best keywords. His advice? Don’t limit yourself to one source when searching for keywords. His top picks on the best online keyword tools are: Adwords, Google Suggest, SEMrush, and KeywordTool.io. 

Once you’ve got your prioritized list of chosen keywords, try to avoid “stuffing” those keywords throughout your copy. To keep your keywords in check, Barrett recommends wordcounter.net, which is a helpful tool to ensure you’re not over or under optimizing your written content.

Headlines Count

“When you have written your headline, you have spent eighty cents out of your dollar.” 

–David Ogilvy

Headlines should always be what attracts your users’ attention, encouraging them to click and read more. A mediocre headline, accompanied by stellar copy, unfortunately, does very little for your click-through-rate (CTR). 

This is why successful SEO copywriters write their headlines before writing the rest of their content. As a general rule of thumb, if your headline is clickable, attractive, and under 72 characters, you’ve got yourself a keeper. (Exceeding 72 characters sends the hint to Google that you’re only writing for search-engine purposes, not your users.)

According to Conversion XL, headlines with numbers always work. So, if a numerical figure applies to what you’re writing about, go ahead and include that number in your headline. And, if you happen to use WordPress, Yoast SEOis a fantastic plugin that helps with optimizing your website copy so you’ve got content that not only ranks high in Google but also attracts clicks from potential users.

Write Quality Meta Descriptions

Contrary to popular belief, meta descriptions—snippets of copy that summarize a page’s content in less than 155 characters—are not used for Google rankings. They are, however, used by readers like you to help better understand what topic a website is about.

Using our previous search example regarding cheap hotels in Italy, here’s what a well-written meta description might be written like:

Discover affordable and charming hotels, right in the heart of central Italy. Search and book your inexpensive Italian accommodation with us today!

When you see a meta description that includes the words and phrases you’ve already been searching for, you’re far more likely to click on it since you assume it’s relevant to your search query. And, although there’s no direct correlation between meta descriptions and Google rankings, Google will indirectly reward websites with a high click-through-rate.

What does this mean, exactly? Well, the more people who click on your search result (and read your relevant meta description), the more Google considers your page to be “good,” subsequently moving your position up their ranks. Not a bad deal.

Link It Up

Consider links, both internal and external, as the basic building blocks of your website.

When you link out to other useful sites and pages (including your own), this sends the signal to Google that you value content others create. Doing so aligns with Google’s aforementioned mission of making content accessible to everyone, everywhere.

Church wholeheartedly agrees, especially when it comes to internal linking.“You’ll want to make sure that you link to your new page from other pages on your website.” Meanwhile, Barrett recommends “linking/referencing other articles on your site (with relevant keywords)” and not being “afraid” of adding in some external links.

Thanks to the folks over at Boostability.com, here’s how to recognize what makes a good link.

The Takeaways

As any SEO pro would advise, the best kind of website copy follows the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) principle. 

This doesn’t necessarily mean your copy has to always be short and sweet. In fact, according to Barrett, lengthy content is encouraged. His advice, however? “Try cutting unnecessary words or sentences and focus on a simple goal or set of keywords.” A helpful tool Church likes to recommend for constructing those easy-to-read sentences and paragraphs is the Hemingway editor. 

Writing great SEO copy, Church explains, should ultimately be “invisible,” and naturally incorporates the terms that people type into their search engines, making it both readable and informative. 

So, what have we just learned? That the best type of copy resonates andincludes SEO, keyword research is not just a suggestion—it’s mandatory, headlines under 72 characters always score, meta descriptions must be relevant, and linking means you care about awesome content.   

Whew. Now, are you ready to make Google fall in love with your words?

Affiliate Marketing Strategy

So, today, we’re going to give you some advice about affiliate marketing.

I. Let’s talk about what NOT to do with your affiliate link.

Never send your affiliate link to someone who has not given you permission to do so.

We know you want to make money, but honestly… if you’ve ever done that before, how did it work for you? You probably got told off, unfriended, reported for sending SPAM and/or blocked. People don’t make purchases from people who randomly send affiliate links through messages, emails, texts, etc. They buy from people who they know, like & trust.

Don’t flood your social media channels with your affiliate link.

Again, this goes back to being ‘spammy’ and it’s one of the reasons JVZoo links are often blocked by Facebook or require authentication through a reCAPTCHA test. People don’t visit social media to see ads. They go to interact with their family and friends. That’s why it’s called ‘social’ media, not ‘ad’ media. And while social media is a great way to generate leads & build your business, it must be done correctly. Invest in the training that will help you advertise correctly on social media and it can do great things for your business.

Avoid putting your affiliate link on traffic exchanges.

Yes, they are still around and people are still using them. But, they aren’t a very good place to drive traffic to your affiliate link. One reason is that the people ‘surfing’ other sites are simply not interested in your offer. They’re there for the same reason you are – to get traffic & leads. They’re busy looking at a timer, not your page. Another reason is that it could hurt the Seller’s site rankings. A flood of traffic from a single domain with very short visits will result in a super-high bounce rate.

Here's a quick start guide to help get you started in this lucrative world of affiliate marketing.

II. Choose a profitable niche

You can either choose a topic people looking for, solve their problem and do it simply for the money or you can do it with passion and earn money too.

Just note if you do it for the money and the success is not coming very soon it most likely you gonna quit the dream of making money online.

That’s why doing it with passion, as a hobby gives you more patience, you work harder, you provide the best quality you can and success will follow.

There's literally thousands of products both physical and digital in all kinds of niches.

I recommend going for a niche that you have some kind of interest in.

I will add some niche ideas at the end of this cheat sheet.

II. Create a blog.

1. Find a domain name:

Once you have your niche or idea of what your website is going to be about. You now need a domain name - this is the name of your website.

Something short, easy to remember and is related to the niche you've chosen.

2. Get hosting:

You need website hosting so your website can be online. Choose a hosting plan that is in your budget. For this example, I recommend one of the following -

◉ StableHost

◉ Siteground

◉ Hostgator

◉ HawkHost

3. Install Wordpress:

You can hire outsource for your site. But I recommend Wordpress because it’s free and it’s simple to customize your site. In addition, there are thousands free themes and plugins.

4. Find a theme/template

There are literally thousands of themes both free and paid. This is up to you but I recommend going with a free WordPress theme when starting out. You can always change your theme later if you choose to go with a premium theme.

5. Find products to write reviews on

Wait...

Did you have account on affiliate programs?

If you have not, you should register an account now to start this step.

I added a list of affiliate programs at the end of this guide.

To get started you should find 2-5 products on your affiliate program to write reviews about. These products should have an affiliate program so you can make money recommending them to people.

IV. Drive traffic to your blog

 Find questions people are searching for that are related to the niche and you can promote the products too.

Jump on question and answer sites like yahoo answers or Quora and search for some terms within your niche or even search for the products you're going to write reviews about. There maybe people asking questions about them. The reason why you want questions is for the articles you are going to write to compliment your review pages.

I normally write down a list of questions that people are asking or searching for answers for then I write articles to answer those questions..

The more helpful you can be in the article answering all possible questions the better. In the article you can link back to your review page and add your affiliate link to the products you're promoting.

 Keyword research - finding long tail keywords

Some of the questions you've written down in part 6 will be good long tail keywords but you want to find more keywords that are easy to rank in search engines. Then write more articles around those long tail keywords to bring in traffic.

An example of a broad keyword: "weight loss"

An example of a long tail keyword: "weight loss pills for women"

I highly recommend downloading and installing the keywordseverywhere extension into your browser and bookmark the following:

kwfinder

keywordshitter


Set up your social media sites:

Jump on all the social media sites you can find and create a profile/account for each. You can have the same name as your website or make it a more personal or generic type of account.

Here's some to get you started - Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Stumbleupon, Weheartit, Google+

^ There are LOTS more but this will get you started. The idea is to create these

accounts, share and like other peoples stuff and build a following. Then start sharing

your website to your followers and get them on pages where you have a presell to

the product or offer you're promoting.
