Make Money At Home With This One Tool

If you want to make money at home, consider how your website can be your most effective sales tool.

Stacy Karacostas from Startup Nation recently published some tips on how to ensure your website is working over-time for your business.

  • Dump the fancy landing pages. Most Internet users don’t want to spend the time waiting for a page to load.  If you have a “skip intro” or “enter site here” option, it’s not doing your business any good, so nix it.
  • Don’t make them guess. Make sure your navigation menu is bold and clearly visible so visitors know what they can find and where, otherwise you may lose them quickly.
  • It’s not about you. Don’t bombard your visitors with your autobiography, experience or education. That can wait. Share what you can do for them – give them what they need – and the rest can come later.
  • Tell them what to do. If you want your prospects to call you then tell them.  Make sure your phone number is visible and bold.  If you want them to request a free newsletter, then ask them for their information using a bright box in a prominent area of your page.

There are a variety of ways to draw customers in, but using your website effectively is one of the most cost effective ways.  Learn how to reign in business with your most powerful home business tool, your computer.
