Dazzle Your Visitors

Dazzle visitors with hooks, bangles, and videos for repeat visits and a great experience at your blog site. If you are blogging for profit, such as for affiliate commissions, you will need "Blogging Hooks". Hooks have bait and catch visitors swimming or surfing by your site. Just like fishing lure - the hooks need to have color, glitter, and a two second sound bite that is immediately comprehensible by the visiting fish.

A winning blog has a perfect "sound bite" hook, such as "Read My Lips". A sound bite has a verb and is a phrase of 2 to 3 words. Both "Win" and "Free" have been over used. Surfers know they do not have the time to "win" anything nor is there ever a "free" anything when you have so little time. The fish wants what it wants and right now! Soooooo... what are you selling and why does anyone want it? What problem does it solve and how can you convince a surfer in 2 seconds that it will solve it?

A winning blog has a perfect "cosmetic" hook, such as "Golf Greens" for golfing equipment. From experience, having a professional looking website generates interest and provides a repository of new knowledge for a customer following. This is true of any business and the fun in striving for real personal wealth from the Internet. But what is the look - imagine walking down the street and what would it take for you to make a "double-take" if you were looking for a "solution" to your "problem". Make a list of problems that the product you are promoting solves, then describe an image that shows it being solved. For example - Problem: Flies; Solution: Fly Swatter. Pictures are worth a thousand words and maybe in 2 seconds the fish takes the hook!

A winning blog has a perfect "value" hook, such as how-to's, contacts, and resources". New content is loved by the search engines and customers. Having professional writers generate content saves time and may be very original for your site. Do you have the skills and time to create articles of interest that over-deliver to your readers and support your affiliate marketing goals? Your resources may be a list of all problems solved by the product and how to use it.

A winning blog has a perfect "navigation" hook, such as three Buttons to key problem solvers, then those pages have three buttons... Attractive blogs are memorable and are bookmarked more often by your readers. The format, content and ease of navigation are tools for your readers to quickly get want they need and move on!!! It is best to not include content that is personal unless it is in relationship to the products being offered. It is comparable to searching for the restroom and only finding endless aisles in the department store. Eventually you get desperate and leave the department store!!!

A winning blog has a perfect "opt-in" hook. This is probably the most important hook of them all. Fish and surfers need a reason to take the hook. The Opt-In hook needs to be the solution to the #1 problem the main product solves. Let me give you an example, the fish needs a registry cleaner now and the Opt-In gives a free trial of a Registry Cleaner via email if they sign-up for newsletter. Most sites ask reader to sign-up for newsletter with no visible immediate return on value. Remember visitor wants immediate return. In this case, find product with trial period, ask visitor to sign up for trial and email visitor the location for the trial.

Dazzle visitors with hooks, bangles, and videos for repeat visits and a great experience at your blog site.
