| How I increased my client's landing page conversions by 519% (as a freelance copywriter) Posted: 06 Jun 2018 06:55 AM PDT Forenote: Hey guys. I thought this might be somewhat interesting for some of you here. As marketers (yes, as a copywriter, I consider myself a marketer!), we're constantly looking to improve how we connect with customers (existing and potential). This post is my flowery way of expressing some of the processes that helped me bring in results for one particular client. If you want feedback for your website/landing page, add your URL in your comment and I'll create an annotated critique as a thanks for reading.Here's the situation. Languex is an online translation company that allows people to transform documents of different types into dozens of languages. But they were struggling to get their expensive Adwords traffic to...well, actually do anything once they visited the page. The conversion rate increase was from 1.34% to 8.29%, comparing the week before I rewrote my client's landing page with the week after. To see the before/after, check the bottom of this post. FACT 1: FIRST IMPRESSIONS COUNT...And my immediate first impression of Languex's site was not positive. Stock imagery combined with inconsistent design elements and salesy language immediately made me feel distrust for the company. It needed a more 'human' touch - from the tone of voice through to social proof to the logo and slogan. With some industry and customer research (Google-fu and survey data), I dug deeper into who we were talking to - and why they would care. This allowed me to speak directly to the prospect's most pressing pain points. I also advised my client on taking a newer, cleaner approach with the layout and design of the page. FACT 2: LANDING PAGES NEVER EXIST IN ISOLATION (ADWORDS, DUH)Nor does any stage of the sales funnel. When a visitor clicks on your ad (or another entry point, like a promoted post on Facebook or website link), they do so for a reason. When they arrive on your landing page, the overall messaging of the page (even the visual elements) should be consistent with the messaging of your ad. My client was clearly struggling. Multiple Adword ad groups directed to the same, generic landing page. This caused a messaging mismatch that increased bounce rates and reduced conversion rates. Not good. I helped create some consistency between his Adwords ads and the landing page - starting with the headline (they should be similar if not identical) and the same, key USPs in the ad and above the fold on the landing page. FACT 3: QUALITY COPY IS CRITICAL, ORDER IS FUNDAMENTALWhat? Huh? So what I'm essentially saying here is that communicating the right things is important, but communicating the right things in the right order is vital. Think about it like this. You're selling adult diapers (shh...this is your life now). Would you ask your customers to buy and try without telling them about how they work or letting them ask their friends about your brand? (if you said yes, you'll never make it in the adult diaper business. Sorry to smash your dreams. Your dad's going to be disappointed). When a prospect arrives on your page or discovers your product or service, they have a very clear sequence of questions they're asking themselves. Your job is to predict what these questions are, and answer them in the right order (not an exact science, but there's some technique to it - see Copyhackers). I re-structured my client's landing page to answer the right questions at the right time, turning a repetitive, erradic sequence of copy (akin to talking with someone who has schizophrenia) to a smooth-flowing conversation that answers the right questions at the right time and keeps people reading. FACT 4: SELL THE SIZZLE, NOT THE SEITANSorry, I recently went vegetarian, so there'll be no carnivorous marketing analogies here (relax....that was a joke).This one is simple, but critical. Languex was communicating in an almost entirely descriptive manner. Features over benefits. I transformed these by thinking from the prospect's perspective. E.g. is it "We translate documents quickly", or "Languex helps you communicate with the world better"? This principle laid the foundations for the revamped landing page that I created for Languex. FACT 5: THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS PERFECTHonestly, there are still many things I'd change on Languex's current landing page. There are even more things that I'd run tests on. Frankly, I can do my best with my first draft and suggestions but, after that, the client's resources and desire to continue optimising limit the potential progress in conversions. If you want to see the best results for your landing pages, this is a major takeaway that'll transform your results from "good" to "great". BEFORE & AFTERWithout further ado...

| Paypal holding 35k, closing our account and completely ignoring everything, what can I do? Posted: 06 Jun 2018 09:16 AM PDT So here's the entire story, I'm Ozan, 17 years old, ( Paypal account is under my mother, that entire issue has been solved and agreed by, by paypal them selfs, no worries there. ) highschool student in The Netherlands, in January I started a business of mine named Hyped Reselling, we sell streetwear clothing for the retail price ( most often these clothing pieces get resold with a profit margin, which is why our business is so attractive ), you do need a monthly membership ( 15EUR ) to participate on our 'drops' ( where we drop around 100 clothing pieces ), these drops occur every Saturday, 9:30PM UK. Over the first few months, things went great, we were selling well, business was exploding. I was(am) up working every night till 1-3AM, whilst trying to balance school work into it. Back in March, 29th to be exact, I received a call where I first had contact with our 'regular' assistent over at PayPal, Stephen, he discussed with us that we were a new, high-risk company due to the market, my age and the fact that we had quite a few chargebacks ( Due to me not shipping on time. ), so we discussed on what'd be appropiate so that PayPal can earn our trust, we came to the conclusion that PayPal would hold a 35% reserve on every transaction for 45 days. So, on every transaction, 35% would be put in a reserve and would be held for 45 days after the transaction would have been made. This went okay, the first 30-40 days, but it got worse, as they were basically holding our shipping funds, which would more or less be in the 35%. We called out many, many times asking them to release a part of the funds so we can ship all our products and keep them as well as our customers happy. They neglected it and gave us the option to cut down to 25% for 90 days, which would in the short-term be a solution, but would be even worse in the long-term, so we couldn't have possibly done it. Now this month, we finally have had a contract set up with a third party company, which would ship all our products for us and we discussed payments so that it would be financially capable for us, even after PayPals reserve. They would start on June 9th.. We discussed with all our customers & members, and let them know very well that all orders would be shipped after June 9th, and starting from then all orders would be shipped within 72hrs. 90% was happy, 10% was impatiently waiting and some of them chargeback ( which is completely understandable! I would also be pissed if I had to wait a few weeks on my goods. ) We resolved those chargebacks by simply refunding them, and all was okay. Till, yesterday ( 5th of June ) I received an e-mail from PayPal that our account, bank-details & e-mail connected to our Paypal were suspended and permanently blocked. Their reason? 'high risk'. This was done by someone else than Stephen, as I immediately called him afterward, he said that the decision was done outside of his approval. We discussed what we could do, and his statement was the following: 'Due to you purchasing for a market price which is mostly higher than the price you are selling for ( the retail price ), the other section believes you are either purchasing stolen goods and/or are stealing goods yourself, as it doesn't sound logical to them.' This was the most devastating thing I've heard in my life, not only did we provide them with over 200 receipts of items that we purchased, we showed them that we are a registered company, paying taxes and showed them all our bookkeeping, the fact that our customers have never filed a complaint after receiving their goods & that they were all satisfied, except for the shipping delays, which would also now be fixed. I come here, desperately asking for advice, as I've worked the past 6 months day and night to grow my company into something I'm proud of, and I simply can not live without PayPal, the company can't live without PayPal. Their reasoning for shutting our account is invalid as well, we did over 75k in revenue in April, have financial bankers who want to stand financially responsible if anything goes wrong ( so that their 'high risk' thing would disappear ) and they still won't respond, discuss or even talk to us about the issue. What can I do? Sincerely, A desperate high-school student trying to save what he loves. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 06 Jun 2018 01:38 PM PDT Hello Everyone, My partner and I are planning to create a deal forum website. Like many other websites such as SlickDeals, FatWallet, etc., we will be incorporating some of their ideas. However, unlike those websites, we are trying to add more solutions that the everyday consumer face that is not provided by these websites. Problems that we believe need to be solved Misinformation about the quality of new chineses companies and other new amazon products/e commerce products Products coming from China usually have a stigma about the quality that is received by the customer regardless of the actual quality of the product may have. How do we solve that problem? We review every product and company and only provide honest reviews of the company and its products. Another issue is that many reviews are paid for or their untrustworthy, regardless of a good or bad review. Our website will use a tracker that identifies fake reviews on other websites. The average consumer will be allowed to post their own reviews as well on a forum (Just like as in slickdeals). Not enough information available in a convenient manner for customers to compare price of products across time/ marketplaces When a consumer buys a product, some products are not immediately needed. With a price tracker feature, a customer can see when the best time to purchase a product by viewing a products/or like products price history. The goal is to save money for the customer among other features that will be provided. Summary of points Goals: Bring clarity to the buying process Become the authority for legitimate product and companies reviews How do we plan to monetize: Sales affiliate programs such as Amazon Walmart Credit cards Advertising on the site in general Feature products/ services / amazon product launches [link] [comments]  |
| Can I start a Ltd company in the UK with the only intention (for now) to be securing the name? Posted: 06 Jun 2018 01:36 PM PDT Probably quite a specific question to ask here but I couldn't find an answer on Google and this seems the best place to ask. I am planning on starting a business soon, and starting off I will be a sole trader, however I have thought up what I believe to be a great name for the company I plan on creating and want to make sure no one pips me to the post. I was really surprised when I looked today and the name wasn't already taken, and I feel that in the time it would take me to grow from sole trader to limited company the name would be gone.

| How to open multiple ecommerce stores on shopify Posted: 06 Jun 2018 05:57 AM PDT How to open multiple ecommerce stores on shopify. What does the word Ecommerce means? Ecommerce is basically the ideal of bringing an offline store online. It's the process of making your goods available for the online audience to be able to see and patronize you. Ecommerce has evolved over time into something that anyone with basic computer knowledge and access to instructions can set up within minutes. As a result of this, we now have a lot of stores online selling similar or very different products. Benefits of an Ecommerce store There are many benefits attached to having your own store online. These benefits include; Goods safety is guaranteed. The risk of displaying goods especially expensive and high end goods in a physical store is pretty much high and since there is little you can do about it apart from getting a security team around or insuring your stores, you are basically at the mercy of those who might affect your business. It saves money The main idea behind an ecommerce store is just to save money. Instead of having to worry about things like shop rents or even having to build your own store to your personal taste from scratch, with an Ecommerce store all your truly need to factor is the cost of hosting your store website and paying for your domain renewals. Better scalability potential Scaling up or down your business in a physical store is a very tough activity that might even require you getting expert to do this for you. Remember you will still have to pay these experts. But with an Ecommerce store you just need to add and delete whatever item you don't want to list again on your platform. This will help you greatly as time and money will also be saved in the process of getting this done. Not affected by government policy or regulation. There are some cases where the government of a country or even a council might not want a particular kind of store to operate in a certain location. When this happens, all you truly can do is just to close down your store or just move it away from that place. But with an on-line ecommerce store, you are not in anyways affected by things like this. You are the king and emperor of your store and you get to decide when go close down and when to move your store. Though some web hosting companies might have issues hosting some kind of store that might not be very ethical, but the good thing is that when it comes to the online world, there is always something for someone. You just need to find your own perfect match and take it from there nothing more. All these are just the basics benefits attached to having an Ecommerce store. Another beautiful thing that hasn't been mentioned is the fact that you can also have multiple stores and sell different things when it comes to an online store. What this means is that you can be a multiple store owner, and also sell different things across every single one of these stores. What is drop shipping? Drop shipping is just another beautiful advantage attached to owning an online store. It is a process where by you do not really own the products listed on your store pages. What you are just doing is to get pictures of goods from another store or manufacturer that you already have a previous agreement with on discounting, on your own store. You then market these goods like it is yours and you have them readily available, and once people make their orders in your stores, you just transfer such orders to the store in question and they brand the goods like it's coming from you and everybody wins. This is actually a very smart way to make a lot of money without actually having to break your back in the process. There are a lot of ecommerce solution out there that has significantly cut into the time required to set up an ecommerce store. An example of this solution is shopify. What is shopify? Shopify is an Ecommerce store located in Canada that allows merchant from most corners of the world to display their goods online easily without having to result to complex computer coding or having to hire a designer. With shopify you can set up your own personalized and well branded ecommerce stores within a matter of minute. All you need is just to drag drop and click on elements provided and you are good to go. Shopify has made it quite convenient and also very easy for people to open multiple stores on the platform at a price lover to what they will be getting when they try that the normal way. This means you can now sell multiple items across multiple stores without having to worry about cost of running or building the platform in the first place. This is good news for those who already have a cross section of goods that doesn't align well with each other. So instead of having to bring this good online into a single store, you can easily have them spread out and you can focus on the promotion of a single store with same kind of goods. This will help greatly with target marketing as you won't be all over the place with your marketing and also you will save time needed to do research for crafting a perfect plan that will fit for the marking and promotion of your stores. This is just one of the very few benefits of an online ecommerce solution like shopify. If you are thinking of bringing your business online, you need to also prepare to offer the best when it comes to customer care, as that is where you might have issues, even after shopify has lifted all the heavy burden and left little for you to do. So make sure to work on that and many other important factors needed for your store to function adequately. [link] [comments]  |

I have a google dev account with 500,000~ total app downloads, and a good credit score. We're looking for ideas on what to start, whether I should pay a developer to make an app and continue the same path or maybe try something new?

| How To Choose The Perfect Niche For Your Online Business Posted: 06 Jun 2018 11:37 AM PDT This was taken from a transcription of my podcast and video (don't worry, no self-promotion here). It's Monday and you're back in your lectures. You're already bored. Your lecturer is constantly droning on. Your whole life you've thought that you don't want to go the "normal route". You don't want to be a normal student, you don't want to go to normal college, you don't want to end up at a normal 9 to 5 job. You know that for most people, this is a path towards mediocrity. But I have a question for you: what are you going to do to get you off of this path? Do you have a plan? If your answer is "kind of" or "no", then you are on the trajectory towards getting this boring job. I know this will offend some people, and I don't care if this gets downvoted. I just want this to reach one person. who realizes that they need to actually do something if they want to live the life of their dreams. And if you are that one person, then the very first step that you need to take is to choose your niche. No matter what your plan is, you've got to choose the group of people that you want to serve. By the end of this post, you will have a clear understanding of your niche and who you want to serve. Choosing your niche is step one towards freedom. It's the first step so that you can finally make money online, work the hours that you want to work, talk about whatever you want to talk about, and get on the path that will take you towards fulfillment 97% of People Make This MistakeWARNING: there are two main pitfalls that I see most people fall into when it comes to choosing their niche. The first, and most common one is that most people take too long to try to decide which niche to go in to. You read every blog post and watch every YouTubve video. You spend hours "researching". I put it in inverted commas because what you need to understand is that your "researching" is just procrastinating. You spend days and days trying to find the perfect niche but you never take the first step which is to actually dive into the niche and start making an impact. What you need to understand is that executing and doing things is how you learn. Executing is the most data-rich stream of information. Let that sink in. Executing is the most data-rich stream of information. No matter how long you spent researching, reading articles online, watching YouTube videos, reading books, that information that you get will be minuscule compared to the information and the data that you'll receive by executing. Will Smith has a very similar concept: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBUSsP9rDsw Start this process by entering any niche. It probably wont be "the best niche for you", but that's okay. It's impossible to find the niche that you can really sink your teeth by just researching. But it's even better than that... 99% skills that you learned in the old niche will be applied in the new niche (copywriting, content creation, funnels, value ladder etc. ). It almost doesn't matter what niche you start in, as long as you start. My very first niche was "Stoicism". Yup, I taught an ancient philosophy. (Unsurprisingly) that wasn't my "best" niche - so I pivoted to the "self-help" niche with emphasis on getting disciplined. After studying and producing content and selling products on that front, I realised that there's no point being self-disciplined unless you use that for something. There's no point self-improving unless you use it for something. That's why I went into the "helping people (mostly students) make money online doing something that will lead to fulfillment (what I think is the purpose of life)" niche. You may think that this is a weird series of changes, but the skills I learned from being in the Stoicism niche selling informational products are what led me into that niche. If I hadn't started executing, I wouldn't be in this niche. That's the point I'm trying to get across. Don't Do This (Either)Now, on the opposite side of the coin is the second mistake that people make when it comes to choosing a niche. They don't spend enough time making the selection. Imagine this:
There's a fine line between too much research and too little research. If you want numbers, then in my opinion, most people should spend between 2 and 6 hours of solid study before they choose their niche. Maybe less if the niche is obvious, but no more. Now that you can avoid the hurdles that 97% of people make (I made that number up), we can move on to the mindset that you need to choose the right niche. The 3 PsYou must consider all three of these things - if one is missing then the niche is an instant no go zone. PassionI'm sure you've heard this before. People say you've got to choose something that you're passionate about, and there's one main reason that they say this: if you want to become very successful, you've got to be in this niche for quite a long period of time. So you want it to be something that you're passionate about. From my experience, being in it for the money will not give you the energy needed to get you through the boring amnd though parts. If you're in this game to make money then I suggest you start realigning your goals. You've got to pick something that sets your belly on fire. Secondly, if you can't think of something you're in love with, then think of skills that you have. And if you don't think you have any applicable skills you have then you're wrong. If you're a college student then you may have the skill of cramming for a test. You may have the skill of eating on a budget. You may not have the stereotypical skills, but you do have skills that you can use in a niche market. You've just got to think outside the box a little. Or thirdly, choose a problem that you have that will take you a few years to solve. You're going to want to document your journey in solving it, and that will give value in itself.
Now on to the second P PeopleIt doesn't matter if you're passionate about something. It doesn't matter if you're skilled at something and it doesn't matter if you document your journey. None of these things matter if there's no one who wants to hear about it. What matters is that there are people open to be impacted. If you really want to become successful, you can't be selfish - you've got to act as a servant to your segment.
Now, there are two broad things you can look for when trying to decide a niche: pain and irrational passion. What are people painful about, and can you help them heal their pain? What are people irrationally passionate about, and can you help stoke that passion? Now, that pain can be a physical pain like joint pain, or it can be mental like how to make money online, or it can be emotional like anger issues. Brainstorm which group of people you will be able to serve the best. And the final P ProfitA business isn't a business without profits. End of, period. You're not going to be able to do this for months, even years, without profits. Even if you don't selfishly want money (which most of us do) then you've got to have profits because if you don't, you're not going be able to spread the word and keep the content flowing. If you have more of an impact on other people then you'll find yourself with huge profit. You can either impact some people a lot, of impact a lot of people just a little. There's some quote but I can't quite remember it - the jist of it is: the amount of money you have is equal to the amount of impact you have on people's lives. The Sweet PointNow that we've got all 3 of the Ps, your niche has to be in that small overlap point in the middle of all the Ps. If your niche is missing just one of those Ps then it is not worth going into that niche. It's as simple as that. We're nearing the end and I know you're thinking "great, I now have the mindset needed to find my niche, but I don't really know where to start" then that's okay. This has been very long and it's late, but I'll make another post tomorrow. I only have one call to action for you to make: click my profile and click that "follow" button. I have a lot of experience with the nitty gritty techniques and tools and tactics that you can use to find your niche. I'll be writing a post up for you about that just tomorrow, and by clicking the follow button, you'll see it on your front page when it comes out. -Andrew [link] [comments]  |
| When to fire a client? How to do it? Posted: 06 Jun 2018 11:13 AM PDT I picked up a small client (like ridiculously tiny) a couple months back to make a simple site for them. I got them via Upwork, so I was going to do the work charging basically nothing as I wanted a good rating (though so far he hasn't paid me via Upwork, only independently via PayPal) to make people see I was legit on Upwork. I estimated 20 hours of work to give him a responsive site with a basic theme and basic functionality (newsletter, class registration, reservations and contact form) @ $30/hr. So total cost for a full website - $600. Very low compared to what I would normally charge (minimum my goal is $2500, and I've worked on sites that were legitimately worth $10000s for previous employers, that I basically all made myself), but I wanted a good Upwork rating. I have seven years experience doing this - getting me for $30/hr is a crazy bargain - it's actually lower than what my equivalent hourly rate would have been at my last job before going freelance. Since that time, he has been ridiculously needy. Calling all the time, texting all the time. He wants training so that he can make modifications to his sites but doesn't really know how to code, doesn't really understand databases or just basically how anything works. Always wants me to hop on calls with him to train him further and contacts me without much prior scheduling. I sent him an invoice a day or two ago for around $200 for the work I've done so far. Partially for theme-related stuff - we're using a common content management system and I configured his theme, did some basic setup for it, etc. He had at one point said he wanted to have a theme that looked like this one picture he sent me, but that it only had to look similar, not exact, I picked a free one that was relatively similar, and made some small edits to it, expecting that he would tell me what changes he wanted going forward. This morning after viewing my invoice, he sends me the theme picture again and says he, "wants to talk to me" - I assume to argue that he doesn't owe the $60 (for initial theme setup, modifications, etc) because it doesn't look exactly like the theme he sent me earlier (despite saying it didn't have to look exact, I double checked with him on that...). Basically, he's being a nightmare client for a ridiculously tiny sum of money when he's already getting a phenomenal deal. Do I fire him? Do client training to explain that he's getting a good deal/real work actually went into the invoice? How do I use this for myself as a teachable moment? My first inclination is just to fire him - especially if he's upset over $60. But I've never done that before and don't know how this particular aspect of business typically works.

Your help is much appreciated Posted: 06 Jun 2018 10:40 AM PDT Imagine a free platform where you could find people at your university that have the textbooks you need to buy for class. Then you'd just send them a quick message, and you'd meet at the uni to exchange money and textbook. The platform would be easy to use and would be better than Facebook Groups or Marketplace because it is focused on textbooks - meaning that finding the book you need or posting your book is easier, faster and much more tailored. It also wouldn't sell your data to the Chinese... Luckily, I've created such a platform ;) - JustBookr.com! I'm looking for people that will spread the word around and get the platform going at their university - to win is a shoutout on instagram, stickers, and maybe a t-shirt :P. Oh, and you also inadvertently end up saving hundreds on textbooks since now you can find the cheapest copies on campus - so that's cool too. You in? [link] [comments]  |

| Any advice on where to start with an idea for a new saw blade? Posted: 06 Jun 2018 10:32 AM PDT I appreciate you reading this: I have come up with a new design for a saw blade I believe would be useful. Besides completing a prototype for proof of concept, I'm kind of in the dark. Where would be a good place to start (from scratch) who would I need to talk to? [link] [comments]  |
| Any tips on promoting mobile application? Posted: 06 Jun 2018 02:19 AM PDT Hi! We are a small startup and we've developed a mobile application and started ad companies on facebook, adwords, appstore, I've made some posts here in r/startup, r/ios, r/imadethis, etc. But installs grow too slow.

| Is there such thing as a celebrity financial news? Posted: 06 Jun 2018 09:20 AM PDT Hey guys, I was wondering is there a website that covers celebrity/entertainment/marketing financial news? Kind of like TMZ and Financial Times mixed? I dont mean something like "Will Smith's net work is X" but more like "Will Smith negotiate for 10million in hist next movie this is the deal and this is how he got it!." Or "Kim Kardashian is meeting g with Trump as plot to increase sales and these are some estimates" (May be wrong place to post this) [link] [comments]  |

| tips on targeting niche audiences Posted: 06 Jun 2018 05:20 AM PDT i operate a part time business in the media / service / tech industry, performing a rather specific technical task (think world-class colour grading, but with a different medium). i've completed work for some of the most well-known names in the industry, who themselves have a following in the range of millions. with that said, i find it challenging to target new potential clients. these would be people scattered in smaller cultural pockets around the globe (but predominantly in western europe / us / canada / australia). the actual conversion rate of when someone finds out about me seems on the high side: perhaps 1 out of every 10 people who hear about me will end up hiring me. but the issue remains to find and target those relevant people in the first place. so far, an overwhelming majority of gigs i landed came through word of mouth. which is both humbling, but also frustrating, as i have not found a way to reach brand new audience who wouldn't have heard about me from a friend or through a direct recommendation. i have tried facebook ads, and got an incredibly mismatched audience checking my stuff. instagram's sponsored ads have proven to be even more mismatched, what with its low ability to specify the target group. having said all that, i wondered if someone perhaps has some smart tips or ideas on what would be effective ways of targeting such specific audiences. thank you very much.

| What's the best way to get an app made for my product? Posted: 06 Jun 2018 09:04 AM PDT So I'm starting a product business which will sell smart home products and I'll need an app. I've been looking at development agencies but are freelancers a viable option? I need the app done within a few months and it will have to connect to the product, view live footage from the product etc. Should I go with freelancers or an agency? I'm from the UK btw.
