The Fun Bit

7.
Introducing the
IDEAL
Website!!!

8.
Make Me Rich
Click Here…

9.
Every step you move away from it is
COSTING YOU MONEY

10.
Care to guess
how much?

11.
100 Click
70 Click
49 Click
34 Click
24 Click…
Every click required
to reach your goal
“costs” you 30% of
your visitors

12.
When building your
site you want to
ensure you’re staying
as close to the
“Ultimate Website”
as possible

13.
To do this you only
need to know
3 Things:

14.
.1.
What are your
website’s goals?

15.
.2.
How do your
“Funnels” serve
your goals?

16.
.3.
How are you
measuring
success?

17.
What are your
website’s Goals?

18.
Specific
Measurable
Goal Attainable
Realistic
Timely

19.
• Who’s my audience?
• What do I want them to
accomplish?
• Where should they do this?
• When and how quickly?
• Which requirements and
Specific constraints apply
• How will I know it’s done?
• Why is this important ?
What’s the purpose of
accomplishing this goal and what
benefits does it hold for all
involved?

20.
This is easier
than you think
because…

21.
…The constraints
of the paradigm
are set and
constant:

22.
Ultimately your website
has only 1 goal:
Helping you make
MONEY

23.
Your audience is:
Selfish, Self Centered, Lazy, & Suspicious
…and they’d rather be on Facebook

24.
Your website is
judged within
4-11 seconds
Every click costs you
30% of your
audience

25.
Specific
Measurable
Goal Attainable
Realistic
Timely

26.
• Who’s my audience?
• What do I want them to
accomplish?
• Where should they do this?
• When and how quickly?
• Which requirements and
Specific constraints apply
• How will I know it’s done?
• Why is this important ?
What’s the purpose of
accomplishing this goal and what
benefits does it hold for all
involved?

27.
You MUST know
how your website
helps your business
make MONEY

28.
This is much
simpler than you
might think
BECAUSE…

29.
There are ONLY 3
financial models
for all the websites
in the world

30.
Care to guess
what they are?

31.
Sales

32.
$34.2 Bn (2010)

33.
Lead
Generation

34.
+$50/lead

35.
Advertising

36.
3 rd
quarter 2011
earnings = $10 Bn

37.
Which of these
models matches
your business?

38.
Never forget:
Your website’s goal
is a BUSINESS goal
It’s derived from how you’ve
always run your business

39.
There’s nothing new
under the sun

40.
Running a
good business
isn’t about
Technology

41.
It’s about
People

42.
Successful businesses know why their clients
seek them out and never stop working hard to
capitalize on these understandings

43.
How do your
funnels serve
your goal?

44.
What’s a Funnel?

45.
A Funnel
=
A route to your
website’s goals

46.
It begins wherever
your prospect
first saw you,
and ends at your goal

47.
Google,
Facebook, Email,
Business card

Before we move on…

90.
…5 tips that will save you
heartache, aggravation,
and money:

91.
.1.
Register your own domain
Buy your own hosting
Setup your own emails

92.
.2.
If you're paying
peanuts you're
probably
working with
monkeys

93.
.3.
"Stand on
the shoulders
of giants"
Use popular
open source
solutions &
avoid custom
development

94.
.4.
Launch your site as soon as it
passes a MINIMAL sanity check
Do changes and
adjustments later…

95.
.5.
A website is a
voyage,
not a destination
Collect feedback,
and schedule updates
as a matter of routine

96.
…Which brings us to our
last point:

97.
How do you evaluate
your Website?

98.
Great
websites…

99.
…are constantly
improving

100.
They do it based on
HARD DATA
…and not intuition

101.
It begins with
asking questions…

102.
Why are people coming to
your website?

103.
To expand their knowledge? To evaluate your offering?
By Mistake?
To solve a problem?

104.
What do they think
about your website?

105.
Are they
interested and
excited about
your offerings?

106.
Make a list of questions and
keep adding to it always

107.
Getting answers to your
questions is easy…

108.
ASK THEM!

109.
Collecting
feedback is as easy
as publishing a poll
on your site

110.
Services like Polldaddy
and Surveymonkey are
excellent tools designed to
meet this precise need

111.
Customer service and support sites like GetSatisfaction
and UserVoice are designed to help you collect,
address, and document feedback
For as little as $19/month you can provide support
on par with these guys:

112.
You also need to start
collecting data

113.
Google Analytics are to your website,
what your accounting is to your finances
You can’t make good
decisions without this data!

114.
What you need
to look at:

115.
Where are people
coming from and how?
Does the data match
the behavior of likely
prospects?

116.
What are people
looking at and doing?
Are they doing what
you want them to?
HOW OFTEN?
WHAT PERCENTAGE?

117.
Are things improving
over time?
HOW SO? WHY?

118.
It’s a long drive,
but “Practice makes Perfect”

119.
Conclusion

120.
We’ve “Been in Business”
longer than our written
history records

121.
All businesses
are the same

122.
They sell stuff

123.
All
Marketing
is the same

124.
Convincing,
but not profitable…

125.
What makes
yours special?

126.
?

127.
YOU
are the only thing that’s
special about your
business

128.
People don’t
Remember:
remember facts,
figures and features,
but a good story will
remain with them for
a long time
Use your unique story
to weave together
your website goals and
audiences and you’re
well on your way to
SUCCESS
