Do Not Skimp On The Basics

The most basic skills you need for an online web presence, an understanding HyperText Markup Language (HTML). This is the standard code used to create static Web pages (those that do not have content that changes

If you are the least bit technically savvy, you won't have much problem picking up HTML programming, particularly because most of today's packages don't require you to know the ins and outs of programming.

Software packages like Frontpage and Dreamweaver can be learned by anyone who is familiar with Windows and other computer applications. Much of the programming is done behind the scenes while the user is only required to work on documents similar to a word processor for formatting web page articles.

If you are seeking to build a web site on-line store, then you need to know how you can link the program has lists (affiliate marketing) or a product, you transport links to other sites products. You will need to use some commercial online shopping cart program to sort, like the Paypal online shopping cart option or a ready-made, ready-made packages, you can add to your site, if you are selling your own inventory.

NECESSARY TECHNICAL SKILLS

The skills and packages you need will be determined by the types of sales you are trying to achieve. If you are seeking affiliate sales, you don't need any technical training other HTML.

If you are seeking to sell your own products, you will have to learn how to create a shopping cart for your products or find a third-party venue who will allow you the use of their system for receiving orders online and collecting payments.

Of course if you are marketing just one product to start with, www.PayPal.com can be a good way to take payment without have to go to the expense of getting a merchant bank account set up or an Internet gateway to authorize credit cards.

Once you know what it is you want to sell, you can check to see what technical skills might be needed to create your online store.

DIRECT INTERNET SALES

There are many people who love or create their own craft who want to sell online. Or, perhaps, you are a collector who is willing to put your online business. For these people the greatest obstacle is that they often do not have the technical skills to make their own websites. They have two choices: 1. Using someone else's site, so that they can reduce or two. Learn how to build their own websites.

If they choose to use someone else's site, like eBay or a trade consortium, no doubt, they will pay to list their products. These articles can not sell. There was no cost to learning how to program, it is time to understand how to market successfully on eBay. There are no online options, which do not require a degree of technical know-how. The question is: How much do you want to learn?

If you decide you want your own site, you will need to either hire a web developer or you will have to learn how to program your own. Learning to program your own site can be very time consuming, if you are not technically savvy.

Even understanding the mechanics of how to program a website, there is a body of knowledge you will not have access to in terms of understanding how to make it search engine friendly.

There is a great deal to setting up an effective online store, not the least of which is attracting customers and being able to take orders, receive payment, and fulfill them quickly. In addition to this, without visitors to the site you have no sales, so if your pages are not programmed to be search engine friendly, odds are you will have difficulty attracting people to your site.

When you are considering doing your own site, think about hiring knowledgeable people to create it for you. This can leave more time for you to refine your marketing plan and develop your product and your market base better.

However if you use a third party to determine your goods, such as eBay, Amazon and Cafepress market, then you do not have to build a shopping cart checkout troubles, setting up loan payments, or a full e-commerce website. You can simply use the interface and your products with them. This happens less original programming efforts, but you will be charged listing and commissions.

You must have some knowledge of digital photography to help you capture the list is a listing of third-party web site visitors. You need to have at least 3 megapixels or more of the uploading and downloading pictures to your computer's capacity, which should be the Internet camera.

A final option for listing your own products on your own site is Paypal. They offer a very simple to learn system for sellers using their checkout cart program and "Buy" buttons that are easily programmed into web pages using HTML code. The code is generated by their system based on values you set for your item and it can then be cut and pasted into your existing web pages. This makes it very easy to set up your pages to collect Paypal payments for orders on your site with only knowledge of HTML coding.

So don't let the technical issues of starting an Internet Marketing business make you shy away from what can turn into a very lucrative business venture.

Building a Website With XSitePro V2 and DLGuard

Although I can build websites with html or use Dreamweaver and Frontpage I am not an expert website designer and to be honest I struggle with software and scripts. Accepting my limitations I bought the XSitePro web design software in 2007 and upgraded to XSitePro V2 last year.

When I first got XSitePro I built my digital download site, exclusively through. Used Paypal as my payment processor and thank you pages with download links for each product. It was a cheerful but not very professional looking website. I was glad my efforts, but there were problems with my download links are accessed by fraudsters and over time I began to crawl on the unprofessional look of my website.

I and I decided to rebuild the site using the Memberspeed had invested several major software. However, shopping cart software, I mean that article to get the updated content sites to help search engines on a regular basis along was to build a site that has a membership directory.

Sunny, but the fatal flaw is to use the software time-consuming and difficult for me to figure out that it is not flexible enough. For a wider range of Web design skills may not be a problem, but it was for me it is. My site look more professional, ostensibly because I used a ready-built Memberspeed template, but in the shopping cart looks unattractive confusion, I had no skills to correct.

Sales disappeared and another solution was called for. I wanted part of the solution to be XSitePro V2 because I love working with it. I have tried to use other shopping carts but find them difficult to understand and I don't find them flexible enough for my limited skills. I had regularly seen posts in forums about using DLGuard as a shopping cart, or indeed paying memberships. Most but not all of the posters recommended DLGuard, but not everybody is going to like the same thing.

One day a question was asked about whether or not DLGuard could be integrated with XSitePro V2. The replies were all in the positive and when I checked out some of the sites indicated as using both I was quite impressed. A timely payment from Google Adsense was deposited into my PayPal account so I thought 'go on girl go for it'.

I bought DLGuard for the princely sum of $146.05 including VAT. Before I could use it I needed to build the bones of a site, and being an impatient bod it was a good job that I had the speed of XSitePro. I used XHeader (a freebie with XSitePro V2) to make the header and utilised the many inbuilt design features to build the rest of the site. Not perfect but it looks more professional than my first digital download site and I can make alterations very easily.

My next step was to unzip DLGuard and upload it to my website following quite easy instructions. It wasn't long before I'd uploaded my first product and added my Getresponse autoresponder details. That's built in with both XSitePro and DLGuard so that was the easy part.

My next step is to re-design DLGuard shopping cart, so that it looks like my website design. I sat there, watching the screen, grasping my head several times in my decision, I was my in-depth. I went to DLGuard and XSitePro forum on how to find tutorials and can not find. I thought for a moment, and decided the only way to do what I want is to experiment.

I had a list of alterable DLGuard pages so I visited my sites Cpanel and viewed the source files. I wanted to edit them but being cautious I copied the source files into notepad before I began. That way if I boobed I would be able to replace the original source files.

An hour later I had added my new header to the shopping cart, altered the background colour and a few other things to give the appearance of integration. Considering how hopeless I am with scripts and software and my lack of design expertise I have surprised myself with what I have achieved.

My website now has an integrated shopping cart and my downloads are secure from cheats. It has flexibility in that I can add articles and reviews quickly and whenever I want. To my eyes it looks better than the previous two designs and it's even started to make sales again after a spell in the doldrums.

One little glitch was with my first sale on the new site. I had redesigned the product download page and to check to see if everything was working I reduced a product to $0.01 and bought it with a joint Paypal account that I have with a partner. As I was testing I got called away and when I got back to my computer somebody else had bought the product and told me that the download link didn't work. No it didn't because I hadn't uploaded the blooming product at that point. But, never mind the lower price than normal sale tested the rest of the work that I'd done and showed me that yes XSitePro and DLGuard do work together and it isn't all that difficult.

Improve the Point of Action

When building a website and going through the laying out phase it is important to identify the POA (point of action) which means what you are wanting the customer to do.

For example download demo, make a purchase, submit information and anything else that requires some form of action.

This is where it is a constant struggle to improve website conversions. There will always be more people that visit a website than those who take some form of action on a website. There will be more people who will add items to a shopping cart than those who make the checkout purchase.

To improve the conversions of a website means that the point of action must be improved. This may be a multiple of things like easier navigation, explanations during checkout process, simpler checkout process, or anything else that would make it easier for a customer to take action.

The biggest reason people do not buy things or stop taking action is confusion and fear. All shopping cart abandonment issues generally stem from these two issues. This is where the POA must be crystal clear.

There may be several Point of Action items listed on your website and they may differ in level of importance. Having the customer make a purchase on most sites is going to be the primary POA while signing up for a newsletter will be a secondary POA.

Clearly identifying what is your primary POA will determine where your energies go in helping a visitor choose the action you want them to take. The more a visitor takes action on your primary POA the higher the conversions you will receive.

The main POA for the Innovation Simple website is for individuals to get a quote and pricing on products and services. This is why we have made it simple for those who visit the website to take that point of action.

People must be told what you want them to do and what actions they should take. They do not come right out and say that they want to be told what to do, but when they visit your website they immediately look for what to do. The better that is laid out and the simpler it is for them to fulfill that action the higher your conversions will be.
