The Four Component's Of A Successful Conversion Focused Website
Clarity Readability And Structure
Most people spend a great deal of time building a website that looks nice. There are a lot of web designers that will build you a very fancy and good looking website but the look of your website is really secondary. The most important function of your website is to convert visitors into buyers and subscribers. Your website needs to serve some kind of business goal, Customers or clients for your products and services
Your website needs to be clear and easy to understand, easy to navigate and get what they are looking for
Speed Optimisation
Speed optimisation is critical as nobody likes to use a slow loading website . Fast loading websites are also one of the key metrics for SEO ( Search Engine optimisation). Google wants readers to have a good customer experience and load times are therefore on of the key metrics in the Google algorithm
Calls To Action
Its important to have explicit and clear calls to action throughout your website that lets people know how to sign up for your newsletter or directs them to the product or service that your are offering or promoting
Make it clear how to take a conversion focused action on your website content
Conversion Pages
Your website needs to have a stand alone conversion focused sales page that sells your product or service. These pages should be designed to get your prospect to take a conversion focused action to purchase your product or service .
How I Got Into Digital Marketing
While working as an electrician I learned how to build WP websites online and became a wordpress web designer, designing a number of conversion focused WP websites for clients. Over then years I have started to help clients develop their digital marketing strategy’s.
I have studied the art of copywriting and if there is one skill you should master its this one its what makes the difference between earning a few dollars a month to earning thousands or even millions of dollars every year. Success online is never and accident its due to the fact that some people have mastered copywriting and they use proven and timeless formulas that never stop working.

I stopped smoking in 2007 using hypnotherapy, I went from 60 a day to none overnight and have not smoked since
During the first 2 years of my recovery I had a complete nervous breakdown due to psychological abuse spanning over 40 years from early childhood though adult hood and especially in the Armed forces where I was bullied almost to the point of suicide
I have spent close to 8 years in therapy overcoming abuse and loss, its the hardest thing I have ever done, I have completely rebuilt my life from the ground up.
