New Blog? Here’s Another Tip
Author: KMcGreevey: KonceptualityIf you “stopped in” here yesterday, you know I began a “series” of tips for someone who might want some suggestions on how to get a blog up and running.
Today, I’m encouraging you to include taking a strong look at setting up your blog with an easy way for your readers to know how to contact you if the need arises. This is called:
Availing yourself to easy accessibility
In short, this means that you…
-Make it easy for your visitors to know how to contact you. How many times have you found yourself at a website that had a product you wanted? Or, the web owner’s message resonated with you enough that you felt a need to send that person an email or to ask a question?
But you couldn’t, because there was no email address or telephone number in sight!
So, keep your profile updated and include email instructions or a telephone number your visitors can use if they have any questions. And if you are concerned about being spammed, you might consider getting an 800 number (and use voicemail), and setting up a gmail or yahoo account.
Bottom line: The more available you are to your visitors, the happier they will be. Which means they will be eager to return to your site often.
Now, come back tomorrow as I’ll have the final tip in this series. See you then.

Tips for Increasing Your Twitter Followers
Author: KMcGreevey: KonceptualityIf you took a poll, you’d find there are some among us that haven’t yet managed to get a huge Twitter following.
You know the kind I mean, like the numbers collected by celebrities or TV or news shows, music artists, or even some of the Internet marketing moguls.
If you’re up to it, there are numerous ways to begin to collect followers so you get noticed.
In particular, include keywords in your Twitter bio and your Tweets. Well, no, don’t pack the keywords in all at once, but rather keep them at hand and parcel them out now and then. And daily.
Also, when you as a small business person, Tweet, your main focus is to share what you know with your followers; to show your expertise, and why your followers should work with you.
Include tips that might help your followers in their business, or even their personal life. I’ve even seen some Tweeterers that share jokes, quotes and tips.

Two Killer Tips for Writing a Sales Letter
Author: KMcGreevey: KonceptualityNote: Over the last five days or so, I’ve shared some killer tips about how to write a sales letter.
I’ve split the tips into three posts; the first three tips were published Friday. Three others were posted Sunday.
And now, the final two in this series…
1. Gather your testimonials into one file.
If you don’t yet have any for your new product, use famous quotes about your field until you get some. Then sprinkle them throughout your copy.
2. Take a peek at your competitor’s sales pages.
Visit your competitors and examine their FAQs. (Compare your list to theirs; have you missed any points?) What do they have as bonus gifts? What is their guarantee? Do they have an up-sell?
You can even use your competitor’s sales pitch as a measuring stick. How does yours measure up? Did you do better than your competitor? Or did you miss a few things you’ll work on to eventually include in your sales letter?
The deal is that you must pre-prepare in order to get a foot up on the competitive ledge. And when you put these steps into place before you write your sales letter, you’ll find the whole process will help to make your writing and the selling a whole lot easier.
While “this series” is through, I look forward to having you stop back often to catch up on our news, and views.

Before you write your sales letter…more tips
Author: KMcGreevey: KonceptualityNote: I’m sharing seven killer tips about writing a sales letter, which I’ve split into three posts. The first three tips were published Friday.
1. Make a list of Benefit Bullets.
What does your prospect/customer get? What will they experience when they purchase your product? What will your product give your prospect?
2. Make a list of bonus gifts.
Select bonus gifts before you write the sales letter. This way you can include the benefits in your sales message as a part of your product.
3. Develop your guarantee.
Think about it! A lot of businesses shake in their shoes when it comes to considering a guarantee. But if you think about it, most small businesses have a built-in guarantee.
If someone asks for their money back, most small business professionals will just give return it. They don’t quibble over whether it should or shouldn’t be done.
I look forward to having you stop back here Tuesday for the “last three”tips!

Before You Write Your Sales Letter…
Author: KMcGreevey: KonceptualityNote: I’m sharing seven killer tips about writing a sales letter, which I’ve split into three posts. So make sure you come back Sunday and Tuesday, next week, to read “the rest of the story”!
If you’re planning to write a sales letter as part of your marketing campaign for your ebook or anything else, without a plan you may just miss the sales results you’re aiming for.
So set a plan you can follow that will explode your sales every time with every e-thing by focusing on and aiming your sales letter toward at least some of these tips…
1. Make a list of frequently asked questions
Give some thought to narrowing down what your prospects and visitors are looking for, and then give it to them. What are their burning questions? Then take some time to answer in your sales copy and with your product.
For example, you might ask yourself: “When will your prospects use your product?”, “How will they use it”, “Why will they use it?”
If your new product is an ebook, will they read it on their desktop, laptop or will they print it out. Will they relax on the couch to read your tips? Or will they will print it to read on the way to work or during a lunch break.
2. Figure out what your up sell offers or possibilities are.
Here is where some small business professionals may miss out because they fail to create up sell offers. So make sure to create your up sell offers and opportunities BEFORE you even write your sales letter. That way you can weave them into your back-end pages and any sales messages you create.
Come back early Sunday morning to readTips 3 and 4 as you drink your morning coffee!

The 2011 OIVAC
Author: KMcGreevey: KonceptualityNow, while it may be a bit early (I mean really early, come to think of it), the Online International Virtual Assistants Convention (OIVAC) Committee (I’m a Committee member), is in the planning process for next year’s Convention–tentatively scheduled for May 19-21, 2011.
If you attended this year’s Convention at all (or managed to read any of the Tweets or other marketing missives about it), you know it was one of the best virtual Conventions on the ‘Net this year.
And next year’s promises to be even better!
So keep looking in this spot over the coming months, as I’ll be sharing whatever I can about the upcoming event–speakers, topics, awards and prizes, etc.
Oh, and mark those dates now!
