Hello again, welcome to lesson six...this is a BIG one, so it may take you several days to get through the lesson and related reading.
No problem, just work at your own pace...
NOTE - This Lesson is
for both new and existing SBI owners
So, how's it going? With a bit of luck now you've decided on your niche (or the
'starving crowd' you'll be targeting in your current niche), chosen and registered your perfect domain
name, and have started building your website's pages.
If not, don't worry. There's plenty of time :-)
Just keep working your way through the Action Guide and moving forward.
Before we go on, please take 2 minutes to listen to an audio message from me. Turn up your speakers and hit the 'Play' button below -
If you have registered your domain name and you are at the stage (or just past the stage) of building your site's pages, here are two important articles you should read that will help you to set the tone for your whole website.
The first article by Ken Evoy is entitled Find Your Voice And VPP... Sparkle and Shine.
The second one, also by Ken, is called Voice and VPP (Part 2), Lessons From Chicago.
Use your SBI username and password to log into the SBI Tips and Techniques HQ (just click on the links above and you'll be prompted for your login details), and read through these two valuable, incisive articles.
Once you understand how important finding and releasing your own personal 'voice' is, your website will be truly an extension of yourself and will help you find your true place on the Web...
Here's How To 'Really' Optimize Your Website's Pages...
The SBI Action Guide gives a good introduction to optimizing your site, but here are a couple of additional tips I've found to work extremely well.
Make it benefit laden and encourage people to click through to your site to learn more -
Once you've set up your Title, Keyword and Description tags like this, put your main keyword into the first paragraph and if possible, the second paragraph of your page's body copy, making sure that it makes sense to your reader.
Add ONE of your related keywords to your first
paragraph (so you have a total of TWO closely keyword phrases there). Then add
your second related keyword to your second paragraph.
Sprinkle an occasional TOPIC related throughout the text of your article and then put
two or three of your main keywords into the final paragraph if you can while
making your page read well. Then move on to the next page.
The Formula For Creating Great PREselling Articles
A proven formula for creating great PREselling articles is -
Step 1 - Outline and aggravate the problem so your reader feels even more determined to solve it today
Step 2 - Offer several options for solving the problem, none of which are your preferred option, and some of which clearly are NOT what your reader would want to do (if they are sane that is)
Step 3 - Offer your preferred option, and clearly explain (using examples of possible and appropriate) why it is your preferred one
Step 4 - Give your readers a step-by-step guide on how to achieve some for of results so they can feel a sense of achievement quickly.
Step 5 - Tell them how they can get more information and even greater results by visiting your affiliate merchant or your sales page
If you follow this formula, your PREselling articles will guide your prospects safely through the process you want them to follow and lead them to click through to your money pages (either affiliate links or your own sales pages).
NOTE - You can use this proven formula with devastating results when submitting articles to article directories and ezine publishers too. Just make your resource box point to a dedicated optin page on your site, and offer more free information or a free report related to the content of the article the person just read.
This killer one-two punch will see people opting
in from your articles in droves to learn more about you and what you have to
offer...
Remember to follow the page optimization formula as well to get superior Search
Engine results while helping your readers to BUY from you.
Now, watch the video...
Also, please take a few minutes to watch this Camtasia video on setting your pages up to rank well.
If the audio starts

again.
OK, visit this page to watch the video
That's it for this lesson. I'll be back in a week or so with the next
instalment of your coaching course.
In the mean time, take some time out from building your site to visit Marney's site at
Artella Words And Art.com.
Look at how she talks with her customers and recommends her merchants. She has a unique
'voice' that you should
also try to develop for your new site.
Roam around Marney's site for a while and I'm sure you'll find several ideas you can model for your own site in the
future. Ok, here's the link -
