7 Ways to Use AUDIO to Increase Your Web and E-mail Sales
Thought about adding audio to your Web site yet? You should. While great copy does a good job of selling your services and products, audio will amplify the effect of your words. Audio gives you a more personal connection with your Web visitors. Social psychologists tell us that humans are more likely to trust you if they can both see you and hear you. And prospects are more likely to buy from those whom they feel they know, like, and trust. So let's think about how you can build that instant rapport with your prospects. What Could YOU Do With Audio? There are unlimited possibilities of what can be done with audio on Web sites and in e-mail, but here are seven simple ideas to get you started. 1. Greet Your Homepage Visitors. 2. Create a Series of Audio Lessons. 3. Share Your Interviews. 4. Samples of Teleseminars. 5. Pump Up Your Testimonials. 6. Make Your E-mails and E-zines Talk. 7. Audio Postcards. So What's the EASIEST Way to Post Audio? In the past, adding audio to your site wasn't that easy. You had to either spend hours learning how to do it yourself, or pay someone else to record it and host it for you. That's why I was never interested in audio before. I may be the E-zine Queen, but no way am I a techie queen. In fact, my VCR still blinks "12:00 ... 12:00 ... 12:00." Here's the good news: There's a brand new program that makes recording and posting audio ridiculously easy. It's called Audio Generator and was created by Armand Morin, the same guy who created PopUp Generator and a slew of other innovative "Generator" products. I signed up immediately after he debuted this at the System 3 Seminar in Ohio a few weeks ago. Here's an example of how easy Audio Generator is: Say you want to add an audio greeting to your site this afternoon. Just call Audio Generator's toll-free hot line and record your message. Then, as soon as you hang up the phone, go log into their site. Ta da ... your message is ready and waiting, with a line of HTML code for you to copy and paste on your home page. That's it! Even better, you can do this an unlimited number of times and have unlimited clips on your site (or multiple sites). You can also upload digital audio files up to 30 minutes in length, which I'm going to do for samples of my teleclasses. Click here to get the full story, and see (and hear) The E-zine Queen's own audio testimonial at the Audio Generator site. Remember, It's That Personal Connection That Matters Take some time today to think about what YOU could do with audio at your site and in your e-mails to increase rapport with your visitors. Then choose at least one tactic to implement this month. It could be the best addition you've made to your online marketing efforts this year. (c) 2003 Alexandria K.
