Why should anyone buy from me?

The first thing an online prospect worries about is fraud. Your site should have the necessary components to verify the legitimacy of your business. Then comes the presentation, you will have less than 30s to convince your visitors to stick around and check your business out.

Two things come in play the look and feel of your site and your sales copy. Your website needs to look professional, with attention to details. Your sales copy needs to be catchy and to the point, answering all your prospect questions, and turn them from visitors to prospects to buyers.

How do I retain my customers?

Answer the phone, yep. Businesses online tend to take the phone for granted. Send them a weekly or monthly newsletter. Keep adding new things.
