Proof -
Critical For Your Online Success
By Willie Crawford
«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»
When people on the Internet read your webpages,
or email promotions, they don't believe you. Before
they even connected to the Internet, many had heard
horror stories of people being ripped off, losing
their entire life savings... or worse.
That disbelief is what you have to overcome before
you can even "begin to hope" to make sales online.
In some niches, such as Internet marketing, where
people also know many of the marketing "tricks,"
overcoming that skepticism is even more difficult.
Before you throw up your hands in defeat, I'll share
with you the most powerful tool you have for overcoming
that distrust... that disbelief. It's very simple.
It's proof. It's proof that what you say is true.
It's proof that others have purchased what you are selling
and got fantastic results. It's proof that you have great
customer service. It's proof that all you say in your
marketing is true.
Your customers want to believe your claims. They want
to purchase your products so that they can gain the
promised benefits. They resist doing this because of
fear and distrust. Prove what you say to break down
that resistance!
Let's look briefly at ways to provide that proof.
One of the first methods that springs to mind is to
use testimonials. It's natural for you to say nice
things about your product. However, when someone
else says the same thing, it has much greater impact
and believability.
In order for testimonials to be effective, they should
be specific and complete. They should tell specifically
how the person giving the testimonial benefited from
using your product. They should provide complete
information on WHO the person giving the testimonial
is. Otherwise, they could appear contrived.
A testimonial with a complete name, city and state,
and perhaps website URL or occupation, is much more
credible that one with just a first name and initial.
A testimonial with a photo is even more credible. It
shows that there is a real person behind the name.
A scanned copy of a handwritten testimonial is even
more credible still.
The scanned testimonial is so powerful because it's
difficult to contrive. Pictures of any element of
proof are very powerful because they are perceived as
being not only proof of what is being said, but proof
of the proof itself.
Other ways that you can use pictures in your copy,
to lend credibility, include:
- Screen captures of webpages showing earnings or
sales.
- Scans of checks that you earned or paid.
- Photos of you enjoying the benefits of doing what
the product teaches.
- Before and after photos.
- Photos showing you associating with industry leaders
(these photos imply that you are one of them).
Photos can also communicate another very important
message. They can communicate that people "just like
your prospect" are benefiting from your products.
Another element of doubt that you have to overcome before
you can make the sale is that your prospect can do it
too. They may believe that others can do it, but doubt
that THEY can do it. Therefore, you need to show them
that others "just like them" are doing it... using
your product and experiencing the promised benefits.
This last type of proof is often referred to as a form
of "social proof." Man is a social creature, and we
take our cues from those around us. We make our decisions
partly based upon what others around us are doing. This
removes some of the risk, and makes it less work to make
routine decisions.
If others are doing it without any adverse effect, that's
a good indicator that it's safe for us too.
If others purchased the product we're contemplating
buying, and it "worked" for them, that's a good indicator
that we too will get the desired results.
If others that we respect or trust saw it as a wise
purchase, then we feel safer buying the same item. Since
others, whose opinions you respect, consider it a prudent
decision, you feel less foolish making the same decision.
How powerful can the element of social proof be?
I recently listened in on a tele-seminar where five very
successful Internet marketers each attributed "social proof"
as being a very big factor in their successes. Each of these
marketers had released "big ticket" products in the Internet
marketing arena, and each had sold hundreds of thousands, if
not millions, of dollars, worth of their product. One had
sold more than $1 million in less than 24 hours.
Listening to those experts explain exactly how they presented
and used the element of "social proof" reveals a lot about
how we, as creatures of deeply engrained habits, behave.
Dr. Robert Cialdini, in his landmark book, "Influence - The
Psychology of Persuasion," explained how social proof works.
He explained that we respond to environmental cues. He
explained that our responses to these cues are automatic,
and that we often don't even give conscious consideration to
those responses.
Dr. Cialdini gives many excellent examples of inviolate social
"laws" that we all adhere to as strictly as we adhere to the
law of gravity. I recommend any serious student of marketing
grab a copy of his book. I've had one for YEARS! You can pick
up a copy of Dr. Cialdini's book from online bookstores for less
than $15.
The marketers in the tele-seminar revealed how they applied
Dr. Cialdini's principles in the Internet marketing arena.
The tele-seminar focused primarily on one of those principle
- social proof - but touched upon several others that can
make your online promotions VERY powerful.
You can get a free copy of the recordings from that call,
both in PDF and MP3, from my friend Jeff Walker, the host of
the call. To get these, simply visit Jeff's site at:
http://productlaunchformula.com/quicklaunch/
I recommend you get a copy of the recordings right now. Then
set aside several hours to listen to the recordings, or to read
the PDF transcripts - several times. It will deeply increase
your understand of how to apply the element of social proof on
your websites, and in your email marketing.
I opened by telling you that without proof, you will make few,
if any, online sales. I'll close by encouraging you to grab
the free recordings, at Jeff Walker's site, that demonstrate
how effective proof can be at increasing your online sales.
Practice and master using proof as taught by these marketing
experts, and you too can join them in the arena of the six or
seven-figure online income earners.

"Common Error Messages and How To React"
-------------------------------
Some common Windows error messages are less intimidating when you
have an idea of what the often cryptic message is referring to.
No, it's not the price of oil in Tehran. Error messages are
rarely if ever displayed because of a mistake you made. So the
best thing to do is read the following tips, maintain your
composure, and take control of the computer!
The first thing to do when an Error introduces itself is to read.
You can gain a lot of information from simply reading the
message. It might be something as simple as entering a password.
It could also be rather cryptic - Let's deal with four of the
most common messages right now.
1. Invalid Page Fault.
This occurs when the operating system (Windows) fails to actually
access information (data) that was requested by one of your
programs. It's as if the butler simply went to sleep on the job.
Remedy: Close the offending application that caused the error.
Fire the butler. But only temporarily.
2. Fatal Exception Error.
This happens when a program or the system itself tries to work
with sickly data, such as a corrupt file. Files get corrupted if
all the ducks aren't lined up just so. Everything has to be
absolutely precise, or wham! Fatal Exception. Nobody was hurt,
were they? I hope not!
Remedy: Close the offending application. Sometimes it's Windows.
3. General Protection Fault (GPF).
Your computer has to have
enough resources to support everything going on inside. If it
runs low, or resources leak into space, you may see a GPF. This
may also happen if two applications try to use the same memory
location, like two cars attempting the same parking stall. Fault!
Remedy: Again close the offending application.
4. Runtime Error.
These occur while applications are running. The
only way to cure them is to restart the application.
