<p>&nbsp;</p> <p>In today's digital age, it's essential for businesses and individuals to have a website. A website is an online representation of your brand, and it's often the first impression a potential customer has of your business. That's why website builders are becoming increasingly popular. With website builders, you don't have to be a tech-savvy person&hellip;</p>

<p>One of my favorite things about WebStarts is the ability to create websites from scratch. Other website builders force you to choose some run of the mill template already being used by hundreds of other people. WebStarts allows you to choose from either  a pre-designer website that you can modify completely or design a website&hellip;</p>

<p>Whether you're running an online business or not use these 7 steps of selling to increase sales and conversion rates.</p> <p><strong>1. Build rapport.</strong></p> <p>People won't spend money with you if they don't like you (unless of course you're the government). Find something in common with your prospects to make them feel like you have something in common.&hellip;</p>

<p>Selling online can be a bit tricky. Many people are lured to the web by the promise of reaching huge numbers of people with little to no marketing budget. In the fifteen years I've been marketing products and services on the web and helping other market theirs as well I've learned it all comes down&hellip;</p>

<p>In order to create a business website with real success, you will have to pay attention to important aspects that other websites have been using for years. There are seven things you absolutely must have to become successful online and we want to make sure that you know what they are. If you plan to create a business website, you will need the following things:</p> <p><strong>1. A site you can keep up to date and control yourself</strong></p> <p>The average turn-around time for a webmaster to publish a change to a site is 11 days. You will need to make changes in real time if you hope to be competitive in the online world.</p> <p><strong>2. Targeted web traffic</strong></p> <p>67% of people say they look online first when searching to buy a product or service. You will need to get your site in front of the right people and seen as often as possible.</p> <p><strong>3. A way to capture leads</strong></p> <p>Gathering contact information for the people visiting your site will be a vital part of your longevity and productivity online. Studies show that 91% of people never come back to a website without being reminded it exists.</p> <p><strong>4. A way to follow up with leads</strong></p> <p>Companies who do not send regular follow up emails to their clients experience <strong>300% lower</strong> conversion rates than those who do. You will need a system that will automate these follow ups for you if you plan to have a significant amount of traffic.</p> <p><strong>5. A way to take money </strong></p> <p>Having a checkout process to help you secure the sale is a no brainer. A merchant account that will allow you to take credit and debit cards will be a real way to generate profit for your company. A recent study showed that only 8% of people say they would do business with a website that only accepted PayPal so you will want to include a secure card processing platform to get at that other 92%.</p> <p><strong>6. A way to deliver the product </strong></p> <p>64% of people said shipping products in a timely manner was the most important aspect of online customer service. You will need to get the goods to the customer as soon as possible.</p> <p><strong>7. A way to track results </strong></p> <p>You must have a way to test and measure the effectiveness of your website. Otherwise you will have no idea what is working and what is not. Companies who don’t track their ad spending are 17 times more likely to fail. Lets make sure that yours is not one of them.</p> <p>These seven things are exactly what you will need if you are to create a business website with real success.
