Don’t you love it when the points you’ve been making for a while are finally validated by someone with perceived higher value? (You don’t really expect me to admit that Chris Brogan and Derek Halpern might actually be more of a powerhouse than I am, do you?)
Well, that’s exactly what happened when Chris Brogan of ChrisBrogan.com asked Derek Halpern of SocialTriggers.com to check out one of his multiple websites and give him advice on improving traffic conversion:
Learn about:
- How to avoid the “curse of knowledge”: don’t assume that your visitors know what you know and give them a good headline;
- What to do and not to do when asking readers to subscribe;
- How to set secondary goals for your readers;
- Why size 14 is the new size 12;
- How to highlight all the right things on your site.
Marketing Takeway
Watch the video, come up with an implementation plan, and don’t forget to visit Derek’s site - I am a big fan!
