The most effective way to grow your digital business is to maximize your online conversions. Rather than haphazardly throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks, stay focused and work smart.
How to Grow Your Business
The main goal of your website is to drive visitors towards the desired action, such as downloading an eBook, scheduling an appointment, or making a purchase.
When a visitor responds to a call-to-action (CTA) on your site, they become a lead, and their action is called a conversion.
There are three ways to grow your business:
1. Get You More Customers
2. Get Your Customers to Buy More Often
3. Get Customers to Make Larger Purchases
You have done your due diligence with your website building backlinks, optimizing your site, using social bookmarking, social media sharing, etc. and you have attracted a visitor to your website. Now what? The process by which visitors land on your website, navigate on it, and are guided to do something is called a sales funnel process.
What is a Sales Funnel?
A sales funnel is the path site visitors take from when they land on your website to making a purchase. The funnel is wide at the top where all visitors start.
The top of the funnel is where everyone enters your buyer’s journey. It ends at the bottom when they convert to paying customers. And, hopefully, repeat customers.
Don’t Leave Money on the Table
You have heard that the money is in the list. So, are you capturing the contact information of those who visit your site? If not, you are leaving a lot of money on the table.
Now you need your web visitor to opt-in (i.e. to give you their contact information) and voluntarily join your mailing list. Now this sounds simple enough, but many people see very low conversions
Few marketers focus enough of their attention on their conversion rates. This is a massive missed opportunity. Improving your conversion rate is one of the cheapest ways of increasing your profits. Logically, increasing your conversion rate will have a corresponding effect on your site’s profitability. You have the chance to guide every new subscriber through your sales funnel. You can do this without increasing your traffic-generating activities or expenses.
