Basic Sales Page Layout

With completing a sales page layout, there are a  few things to consider. We will discuss what a sales page layout is, basics when creating a sales page and some tips.

A sales page layout is a tool that will help visitors that are browsing to become clients that buy. The sales page should show what exactly you have on sale or special discounts. This is why it is important to get a few of the basics down when you decide to create one for your business.

To begin, I wanted to point out a few things about page layout. A compelling headline will draw attention. I like to keep things to the point and that would mean making it short and precise. You may want to have some sort of banner at the top of sales page. For visual impact, the pictures you decide to use must show the services/product in a good light. Copy on the sales page should be clear and concise. Short sentences and paragraphs keep interest. Adding the contact information at the end of the sales page will tell the buyer where to find the item they want.

If you plan to place the page on a website, include a continue button so they visitor will get more details. Consideration to page size and color are important because you want to welcome your visitors not give them seizures. Keep it warm with some oranges and blues.

Video is always a good enhancement for a sales page. However, you want to make sure that you can make a reasonable looking video. Again, keep it simple and precise. Don’t blast the visitors the second they hit your page. Let viewing the video be their choice.

A few things to think about are:

• Adding testimonials
• Using subheadings
• Having good content
• Branding will make your items and services appear unique, which is always good for marketing.

Networking: Both Locally and Socially

Networking is a recent item that I have done some research on. There are two ways to do networking either locally, or socially (or online). Today we will look at what is networking is and briefly discover some of networking details, and see if having a plan of action will help your business.

Networking defined is a support system of and for sharing information, services, and interests among people. They can be in groups, individuals, associations, and even strangers. It can be with your family, local community, and even people you meet while chatting online.

When you consider that whether you want to network locally or socially, there are a few things to keep in mind. Networking is something small business owners should do regularly. This helps you build a profile in the community. As a rule of thumb, most business would like to keep the networking local. The one on one intermingling helps them have the personal contact.

When you decide to do the social networking online, you will find some of the same principles from personal networking apply. A social network usually starts with the website services that focuses on building and maintaining friend. This is where you make friends and keep in touch based on interests or activities. Though most are web based, some have events where networks can meet up in real settings.

Having a  plan of action can help you get the most of networking. If you choose to do it locally:

• Find a local group that you can participate in
• Attend meeting/events regularly
• Make 60 seconds count with a good first impression

If you plan to do it online:

• Pick your site
• Find a passion
• Make Friends
• Start blogging about your passion

In then end, a simple plan of action can help you with marketing and prospecting. Gather your information on your market and choose if your networking preference. Don’t hesitate with implementation. This will help you with the jitters that come with talking about yourself with strangers.

What do you do?

In a nutshell, I am a virtual assistant. I own my own business and can be defined as an independent contractor. What is a virtual assistant? What do I actually do? How can I help people? What are the benefits? All good questions. Let’s answer some of them.

A virtual assistant is provider of administrative and clerical services from a remote office. What exactly is that? The internet is my main line of communication for clients, work and delivery of services. Wiki defines a VA as  “… generally self-employed and provides professional administrative, technical, or creative (social) assistance to clients from a home office.^”

What can a virtual assistant do? To put it simply, a virtual assistant can do what a secretary or clerical assistant does. A short list is:

• Faxing
• Phones
• Emails
• Anything Microsoft Office related
• Correspondences
• Website maintenance and design

That does not include some of the more specialized duties.

The next questions is how this can help people. People should be defined as the entrepreneur, small business owner, and/or independent contractors just starting out. I believe there is a vast sea of many that need some kind of help from a virtual assistant. When you are a sole business owner or just starting out, it can be hard to remember to send the email to the client about the project. It becomes increasingly difficult to research markets and new ways to do something when your client base begins to grow. Even when you are not busy with clients, there are always times that help is needed. The presentation that you finished a week ago has to be changed to include an unexpected client change. That is not a big deal unless your stuck in an airport with no office.

The conclusion is this:

1. Independent contractors like a virtual assistant save you money and conveniently available.
2. Employees cost you money upfront  and in the long run.
3. Virtual assistant pick up the slack for a business when needed.
4. A virtual assistant is as mobile as you need to be and only lasts as long as needed.
