We continue our discussion from last week on what ingredients a website needs to convert people to sales in today's marketplace. If that mere sentence makes you feel uncomfortable...like everyone communicating online merely has the ulterior motive to get your money...then I must admit...YES!
Come on folks. Even if we feel like our product or service is pure ministry, can you afford to devote yourself to it without making a dollar? I can't. And further, if you have anything that can fill a want or need for someone else...if it has any value, then people can and should pay for it. Have you ever taken on a job and been willing to work out of the goodness of your heart? Doubtful.
Justin Lukasavige just launched his revised website here: http://www.coachradio.tv and I just launched our new website for the Academy at http://www.freeagentacademy.com.
Join us to hear why we did what we did, why our sites are pretty different, but how they are the same. The point? To better understand what you need to do to make your online efforts pay off. Otherwise, it's just a lot of busy work, isn't it?
We had about 40 people in the live chat and answered some of their direct questions, including a quick review of another site. Due to the questions, the show went to an hour...finally stopping when my wife came to pull me to lunch. She just rebranded her blog on parenting and marriage to www.StumblingAroundInTheLight.com.
The audio for the show is below.
This is behind the scenes folks, it's what we all end up wondering with anyone attempting to 'speak' and 'lead' us.

I like my 'busy work' to pay off...so does my family who likes to have food to eat.
