Hot and Cold



Title: Hot and Cold
Artist: Kate Perry


Lyrics:

You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes
Yeah you, PMS
Like a bitch
I would know

And you over think
Always speak
Crypticly

I should know
That you're no good for me

Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
(you)You don't really want to stay, no
(but you)But you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down

We used to be
Just like twins
So in sync
The same energy
Now's a dead battery
Used to laugh bout nothing
Now your plain boring

I should know that
You're not gonna change

Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
(you)You don't really want to stay, no
(but you)But you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down

Someone call the doctor
Got a case of a love bi-polar
Stuck on a roller coaster
Can't get off this ride

You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes

Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
(you)You don't really want to stay, no
(but you)But you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down

Last Christmas I gave you my heart. But the very next day you gave it away.



Title: Last Christmas
Artist: Crazy Frog

Lyrics:

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me baby
Do you recognize me?
Well, It's been a year
It doesn't surprise me
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you"
I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again
A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you
And your soul of ice
My god I thought you were
Someone to rely on
Me?
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover buy you tore him apart
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special.

Ghost of a Rose



Title: Ghost of a Rose
Artist: Blackmore's Night

Lyrics:
The valley green was so serene
In the middle ran a stream so blue...
A maiden fair, in despair, once had met her true love there and she told him...
She would say...
"Promise me , when you see, a white rose you'll think of me
I love you so,
Never let go,
I will be your ghost of a rose..."

Her eyes believed in mysteries
She would lay amongst the leaves of amber
Her spirit wild, heart of a child, yet gentle still and quiet and mild and he loved her...
When she would say...
"Promise me , when you see, a white rose you'll think of me
I love you so,
Never let go,
I will be your ghost of a rose..."

When all was done, she turned to run
Dancing to the setting sun as he watched her
And ever more he thought he saw
A glimpse of her upon the moors forever
He'd hear her say...
"Promise me , when you see, a white rose you'll think of me
I love you so,
Never let go,
I will be your ghost of a rose..."

Buồn - Duy Khánh



Title: Buồn
Artist:Duy Khánh
Remix by Kang

Lyrics:

Từng hạt mưa rơi rơi bên hiên ôi lòng ta nhớ mong
Từng ánh mắt giây phút nghẹn ngào
Ngày xưa đôi ta bên nhau, bao ngất ngây tuyệt vời
Nay em ra đi cho lòng ta đớn đau
Người tình ơi sao em ra đi cho lòng anh nát tan
Tình yêu đó đâu có tội tình
Giờ em yêu đang vui nơi ai đâu biết anh đau buồn
Con tim anh đau buồn vì em
Giá như mình đừng gặp gỡ chắc không thế này
Thì đôi ta ai cũng đi một đường riêng
Để bây giờ người thay đổi bước đi theo ai rồi
Giờ níu kéo cũng chẳng còn chi hỡi em

ĐK:
Từng giọt nước mắt cũng đã thấm ướt đôi bờ vai bé xinh
Hỡi người ơi em có hay lòng anh
Vì sao em quay lưng bước đi
Để anh trong đêm tối lạnh lùng
Con tim anh bây giờ nát tan
Ngày xưa em nói đôi ta cùng nhau
Bước chung một lối đi sao giờ đây người vội quên hết
Để cho anh ôm bao đau thương nhớ mong vơi đầy
Hỡi em yêu người đâu có hay, anh buồn đau

Từng hạt mưa rơi rơi bên hiên anh ngồi ôm nhớ thương
Lời em nói trước lúc tạ từ
Rằng em sẽ ra đi để anh khổ đau muôn đời
Con tim em xa vời tình anh
Giá như mình đừng gặp gỡ chắc chắc không thế này
Thì đôi ta ai cũng đi một đường riêng
Để bây giờ người thay đổi bước đi theo ai
Giờ níu kéo cũng chẳng còn chi hỡi em

ĐK:
Từng giọt nước mắt cũng đã thấm ướt đôi bờ vai bé xinh
Hỡi người ơi em có hay lòng anh
Vì sao em quay lưng bước đi
Vì sao em không nói một lời
Con tim anh bây giờ nát tan
Ngày xưa em nói đôi ta cùng nhau
Bước chung một lối đi sao giờ đây người vội quên hết
Để cho anh ôm bao đau thương nhớ mong vơi đầy
Hỡi em yêu người đâu có hay, anh buồn đau (chờ mong)

All Good Things



Title: All good things
Artist: Nelly Furtado

Lyrics:

AHH..AHH..AHH
Honestly what will become of me
don't like reality
It's way too clear to me
But really life is daily
We are what we don't see
Missed everything daydreaming
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end
come to an end
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end
come to an end
Why do all good things come to an end
Travelling I always stop at exits
Wondering if I'll stay
Young and restless
Living this way I stress less
I want to pull away when the dream dies
The pain sets it and I don't cry
I only feel gravity and I wonder why
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end
come to an end
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end
come to an end
Why do all good things come to an end
And the dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could die
And the dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could die
die...die...die...
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end
come to an end
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end
come to an end
Why do all good things come to an end
And the dogs were barking at the new moon
whistling a new tune
hoping it will come soon
And the sun was wondering if it should
stay away for a day til the feeling went away
And the sky was falling and the clouds were dropping
and the rain forgot how to bring salvation
The dogs were barking at the new moon whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon so that they could die.

You had a bad day!

Daniel Powter - Bad Day



Lyrics:

Where is the moment when we need it the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue sky's faded to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carrying on

Stand in the line just ahead of the law
You're faking a smile with the coffee you go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces every time
And I don't need no carrying on

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You'reing back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carrying on

You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You'reing back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
(Oh.. Holiday..)
Sometimes the system goes on the blink
and the whole thing it turns out wrong
You might not make it back
and you know that you could be well oh that strong
Well I'm not wrong

So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Had a bad day
Had a bad day

The Best Online High Yield Savings Accounts

The high yield savings account and money market annual percentage yields (APY) listed below are regularly verified and confirmed to the best of my ability. However, I recommend that you personally check individual bank rates before applying. I will attempt to actively update the APY interest numbers after every major interest rate move by the Federal Reserve, but keep in mind that online savings and money market account rates do fluctuate.

For those who want to know my short list of the top 5 online savings banks that offer the best yield interest rates for savings and checking accounts, here they are. All of the top 5 or 6 banks I list here also provide very competitive online banking features and back their banking websites up with commendable customer support:

  1. FNBO Direct - 3.25% APY
  2. WT Direct - 3.31% APY
  3. E-Trade Savings - 3.30% APY
  4. HSBC Direct - 3.25% APY
  5. ING Direct - 3.00% APY
  6. Emigrant Direct - 3.00% APY (Honorable Mention)

Interest Rate Chasers and Choosing A High Yield Savings Account

There’s an interesting breed of savvy savers called high yield interest rate chasers that are continuously on the hunt for the best interest rates. However, although it is very important, I don’t think high interest rates alone should be the sole determining criteria when deciding where to do your banking. Thus you don’t need to immediately go nuts and jump ship whenever your bank drops your interest rate by a few decimal points. There are other quality factors worth taking into consideration and evaluating such as - reliability, customer service, website interface ease of use, brand name reputation, availability of brick and mortar branches, and consistent history of offering high rates. Just for the record, the vast majority of my cash is invested in the stock market, but what little cash I have is stashed in my Citibank Ultimate Savings Account. It doesn’t offer the highest APY interest rate out there, but Citibank has always offered reliable and satisfactory service, with the added convenience of brick and mortar branches. Of course, with the growth of online banking and the stiff competition among online banks for high yield banking customers, I will likely expand my high interest savings account options very soon.

The online banks listed below are sorted in the order of interest rate currently offered, starting with the highest APY. I’ve chosen to leave out some regional banks as well as several established institutions like JP Morgan Chase Bank, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America for various reasons. Many of them either offer terrible interest rates for their savings and money market accounts, or their top rates require too high of a minimum account balance to achieve (frequently more than $100,000). Below, I’ve also provided information such as the minimum initial deposit required to open an account, as well as additional noteworthy information such as whether there are fees or minimum balance requirements.

All of the online banks listed below have indicated that they are fully FDIC insured, which means all customer bank accounts are protected against catastrophic bank failure and financial loss up to a fairly substantial amount, backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government. As we should all be well aware at this point in time, due to the near rock solid FDIC insurance coverage that they provide, checking, savings, and certificate of deposit (CD) accounts invested at traditional and high interest online banks are the safest places to put your money during turbulent economic times.

The Top High Interest Online Savings and Money Market Accounts
Bank Name APY Rate Min Notes and Additional Info
FNBO Direct 3.25% $1 No fees or minimums
Countrywide Bank 3.50% $1,000 Need $10,000 to get the top rate. 2.50% APY interest otherwise
WT Direct 3.31% $1 No minimum. Need $10,000 to continue the max rate after 60 days - 0.50% APY otherwise
E-Trade 3.30% $1 This popular brokerage/bank provides lots of financial services in one place
iGO Banking 3.28% $1 No fees or minimums
HSBC Direct 3.25% $1 No fees or minimums
Savings Square 3.05% $1 No fees or minimums
ING Direct 3.00% $1 No fees. Good customer service and this online bank has been around.
Emigrant Direct 3.00% $1 No fees or minimums
Capital One 3.00% $1 Money market account. No fees
Citibank Ultimate 3.00% $5,000 Make 2 bill payments via linked Citi account to get top rate - 2.27% APY interest otherwise
UFB Direct 2.50% $1 No fees or minimums
AmTrust Direct 2.00% $1 Money market account

The Top 5 Online Banks For High Interest Savings and Checking

With the current flight to quality amidst the widespread economic meltdown, American consumers concerned about the safety of their money and investments are increasing turning to trusted online banks and high yield savings accounts for the FDIC insurance protection they afford. For those of you looking for the best online banks in terms of those that offer the highest interest rates for checking and savings accounts, you’ve come to the right place. The following compilation below is a short list and summarized review of what I believe to be the current top five online banks among the many banking choices in the market today. While most of the high interest banks found online offer similar banking features like direct deposit, online bill pay, automatic savings, and the ability to apply for new high yield savings accounts online, they are not all the same. Certain online banks clearly stand out from the pack in terms of proven high marks and rankings in reputation and customer support. Below, I’ve listed what I believe to be the top 5 online savings and checking banks. As an active high interest bank interest rate chaser, I intend to regularly update the list and my reviews to reflect major interest rate changes and shifts in reader preference.

As a reflection of the much lower overhead expenses that they enjoy, online savings banks tend to offer much better annual percentage yields (APY) for savings accounts, money market accounts, and CD’s than the more well known brick and mortar based banks like Citibank, Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Wachovia, Wells Fargo, and even Sun Trust Bank. With the growing popularity of online banking and electronic transfer conveniences, high interest online banks like FNBO Direct, WT Direct, E-Trade, HSBC Direct, ING Direct, Countrywide, Capital One Direct, and Emigrant Direct have rapidly grown in popularity. Online banks have certainly come a long way and with the much higher interest yields that they offer, many of the top online savings banks now rival the account management features and reputations of the larger commercial brick and mortar giants.

The following is a short list of the top 5 online banks that I believe provide the best mix of important banking support services and high yield savings rates. Not only do they all provide full FDIC insurance coverage limits for account deposits, all of them have been around and doing business for many years. While some of the online banks may have names that are unfamiliar to some people, you can rest assured that the ranked recommendations on my list have been personally tested and thoroughly reviewed. Without further ado, here is my quick and easy list of the best online banks followed by short reviews.

Reviews Of The Best Overall High Yield Savings Bank Offers In Terms Of Interest Rate and Account Features

1) FNBO Direct - 3.25% APY - Highly Recommended!

The FNBO Direct high interest savings account is one of my personal favorite choices among the high interest bank offers available. As the online savings arm of the First National Bank of Omaha, FNBO Direct interest rates have always been one of the highest out there. With full FDIC insurance limit coverage for account deposits, and with a very long and reputable history in the banking business, FNBO Direct is one of the safest choices among the top online banks. Currently, FNBO Direct customers enjoy no monthly maintenance fees and no minimum account requirements to enjoy the highest APY rate on their savings account deposits. For the convenience of FNBO account holders, there is even an ATM card option for those who want live, in-person access to their money.

2) WT Direct - 3.31% APY

Offering some of the highest APY interest rates for their top rated high yield savings accounts, it’s no wonder WT Direct is a popular option for those looking to get the highest interest rates for their life savings. While there is no requirement to have a linked checking account, and there are no monthly account fees or account balance minimums, a WT Direct savings account deposit balance of $10,000 or more is needed to get the highest top tier rate. This online bank option from Wilmington Trust Savings Bank is a highly recommended option for those with substantial assets. Currently, banking customers get to enjoy unlimited linked external accounts between WT Direct and their other financial institutions or online brokerages. This benefit affords WT Direct customers greater ACH transfer ease and account management convenience. As with all major online banks, WT Direct customers are fully FDIC insured from bank failure or loss within the insurance coverage limits.

3) E-Trade Savings - 3.30% APY

For some people out there, E-Trade’s appearance on this list of the best online banks may come as a pleasant surprise. Better known for its online discount broker program, E-Trade also runs a traditional banking component as well, featuring high interest savings and checking accounts. For those who want true flexibility and transferability when it comes to moving their money between their E-Trade brokerage account and their online savings, E-Trade’s Complete Saving Account is a recommended choice. Frequently in other cases, the problem with splitting your online savings and your brokerage accounts among different companies is the multi-day lag time required for ACH transfers. With E-Trade, there is no such problem as internal electronic transfers between your E-Trade banking and trading accounts are nearly instantaneous.

4) HSBC Direct - 3.25% APY

With a wide international and national banking presence, HSBC Direct is one of the safest online banking choices out there. Not only do they have a growing network of banking branches all over the world, they’ve also been acknowledged and ranked by various reputable personal finance websites like Kiplingers as one of the best cyberbanks out there. HSBC Direct is widely touted for its great customer service, ATM debit card availability, online bill payment feature, and low minimum balance requirement to get the top APY interest rate - just $1.

5) ING Direct - 3.00% APY

If you read personal finance blogs or financial articles frequently, one thing that seems to be universally agreed upon is that ING Direct is a great online savings bank. ING Direct is well known and appreciated for its online simplicity and streamlined website interface that makes it easy for both advanced users and novice online banking customers to use. The company’s very popular Orange Savings Account is not only remarkably quick and painless to open, the high yield savings account also imposes no monthly fees or account balance minimums. ING Direct also makes it extremely easy for customers to create multiple sub-accounts to help them plan and manage savings goals and objectives in an efficient, paperless way. Another great bonus feature is that the bank is one of the few major online banks to offer customers the ability to earn free ING Direct bonus money for referrals.

How to Succeed in Affiliate Marketing

1. Choose a Niche Market

Before you begin, it is important to choose a niche market of products, services, and information that you will provide. Do not try to be everything to everyone. Instead, choose a topic area and focus your attention on becoming the top consumer resource for information for your niche.

2. Choose the Best Affiliate Programs

Do not simply sign up for the first affiliate programs to catch your eye. Spend some time researching the available affiliate programs. Create a list of affiliate programs that offer products relevant to your website. List the pros and cons associated with each, including commission rate, payment guidelines, and linking options. It may take some time to find the best affiliate program for you, but this extra work will pay off in the long run in better site traffic and increased sales.

3. Create Great Content

Becoming a consumer resource is one of the best ways to succeed in affiliate marketing. How can you establish a credible and useful website? By creating content that your readers want and need, you will establish an audience that is interested in what you have to say and what your have to sell. Some great ideas for affiliate content include product reviews, gift guides and other consumer advice.

4. Track Your Progress

Once you have established your affiliate marketing site, it is absolutely vital to keep track of your sales success. Some affiliate programs offer detailed reports of site traffic and sales, which can be especially beneficial. Always keep track of which items are selling and which are not. By using this information to plan future content, marketing tactics, and product choices, you will be able to build an affiliate marketing site that will be successful for years to come.

What Is Affiliate Marketing?

So you want to make money on the Internet, but you don't have a product to sell? Fortunately, you can succeed in independent Web publishing by selling products through affiliate marketing. This targeted approach allows you to sell products for other businesses and earn money online.

What is Affiliate Marketing?

In simple terms, affiliate marketing allows website publishers to earn a commission by selling products on their sites. Affiliate programs are extremely popular due to their simplicity and effectiveness. You can join an affiliate program, set up links and begin earning money in a matter of minutes.

Unlike advertising links that pay based on the number of clicks, affiliate websites earn money when site visitors make an actual purchase. Because of this, it is important to select the products that are the most relevant to your website and your visitors. However, affiliate marketing has a number of distinct advantages that offer a perfect work-at-home solution for Web publishers.

Benefits of Affiliate Marketing

The greatest benefit of affiliate marketing is that it is inexpensive and easy to use. In a matter of minutes, you can join and affiliate network and begin selecting products and adding links to your website. Some affiliate programs require an online application that allows merchants to review your website and determine if it is an appropriate place to market their products.

In some cases, you can join a network of affiliates that allows access to numerous merchants and a multitude of sales items. Joining one of these associate programs is a great way to build a long-term relationship with a number of affiliates.

Affiliate programs also allow publishers to work from home in Internet marketing. If you have ever wanted to work from home, affiliate networking can be a lucrative opportunity for hard working Web publishers. It may take time and energy to build your website, establish search ranking, build site traffic, and generate sales, but the potential to earn a substantial income from your site is well worth the work

What Exactly Is SEO?

SEO, or search engine optimization, is a subset of the umbrella term "search engine marketing" (SEM). Properly applied, search engine optimization allows your site to not only be seen by the search engines but, when a search term (either keywords or phrases) is entered, offers the ability to rank very high in the search engine results pages. The results pages are typically a combination of natural (sometimes called organic) results, paid inclusions (directories) and pay-per-click (PPC) ads.


But why is SEO so critical to the success of your business online? The holy grail for online marketers centers around getting your site on the first page of a Google search results page. Why Google? Because it currently owns well over half the market of all searches. If you further optimize your site in such a way that it brings in quality traffic, you'll get the ultimate return on your investment (assuming you have a solid back office process). And if you've optimized well for Google, you'll rank well in the other major search engines, such as Yahoo! and MSN, as well.


Many people hire professional consultants to perform SEO, while others attempt to do it themselves, which you certainly can—it's not brain surgery. In the coming months, I'll help you learn how to take on this task yourself. There really are no secrets—it just takes a lot of continuous work and an understanding of people, search engines, algorithms and toolsets.


SEO can (and should) be a full-time engagement. The scope of work depends on your site and your niche. This doesn't necessarily mean you'll need to spend 40 hours a week on it--you certainly couldn’t afford to put that much effort into it--but you need to put a solid content and link-building strategy in place for the long term. Existing sites can be optimized by simply applying a correct title (the text that shows up in the blue bar at the top of your browser window) and a meta description (the text that often shows up as the description in the results listing).


If you've read the book Art of War, you'll know that the basis for going into battle is to know your competition first. Keep your friends close but your enemies closer, the saying goes. In our SEO battlefield, we'll look at competitive analysis and keyword research to start.


A critical first step for an effective SEO plan is to perform heavy competitive analysis. In fact, if you search in Google for a key term or phrase related to your field and website, you should look at the first three to five websites that come up on the first page of your Google search results. These folks are the ones to beat. That's because if you're listed in the top 10 search results in Google, you may find that your website will get significantly increased traffic (assuming you have a competitive search term). I’ll talk about how to get quality traffic and tracking/conversion in a future article.


It's also critical that your website be built in such a way that it’s search-engine friendly but also user-friendly. To begin with, you must be very clear about what your site is all about. Do you know what your “value proposition” is? Then you'll want to ensure easy navigation, a clear call to action and relevant content. When you add relevant content pages and links within your theme and community, you're taking the first steps to success.


You must also make sure it loads quickly, is html/css (cascading style sheets) compliant, and lets visitor know what your site is all about in less than eight seconds. Even if you think your visitors are familiar with your product or service, you'll still want to make it easy to navigate and user friendly.


SEO is one of the most powerful online marketing mediums there is, and it's critical to the success of your online business. The bottom line is, SEO done right can enable you to be found and ranked well in the sea of billions of existing web pages, and your visitors and your bank account will both love you for it.

3 Secrets to a Site that Sells

So, you've got your site up. Now what? You need to drive traffic, grow your opt-in list, make sales and work on your SEO. The list seems endless.

Step back for a minute and realize it's not possible to do everything at once. Once you've built your website, the first thing you should do is make your sales process watertight.

There's no point spending a ton of cash on pay-per-click ads to drive targeted traffic to your site if none of those visitors buys anything.

Follow this three-point sales action plan before you spend a bundle on attracting visitors.


1. Get your sales copy in top shape
You've got less than five seconds to persuade people to stay on your website, so your headline has to grab them and compel them to read on. The best headlines tell visitors they've found exactly what they're searching for and make them curious enough to keep reading.

But don't let your readers slip through your fingers once you've grabbed their attention with a hot headline.

Sales copy is what turns visitors into customers. So make sure it guides people through a streamlined process that:

  • Identifies with their problem and builds your credibility
  • Engages them--and explains why you can help
  • Tells them how they'll benefit from your product
  • Overcomes any objections they may have
  • Compels them to take action--and tells them exactly what to do

Good sales copy funnels your readers through a tight sales process and doesn't give them a reason to click away. Take a look at your own and see if all the elements are in place, and if not, give it more of the attention it deserves. (Here's a more detailed article on sales copy.)

2. Collect testimonials
What's more trustworthy than a personal recommendation? A good testimonial can persuade even the most skeptical potential customer to buy from you.

Testimonials prove that your product really works--that it does exactly what you promise. And if you run a small business and haven't built your reputation, testimonials are indispensable.

Here's how to gather quality testimonials and benefit from them immediately:

  • If you don't have any customers yet, give your product away to a group of people in your target market in exchange for their feedback.
  • If you have some positive feedback from customers, contact them and ask permission to use their comments on your site.
  • Don't be afraid to ask for testimonials. Invite customers to give you their vote of confidence with an e-mail link that says, "Click here to tell us what you think!"
  • E-mail your buyers after they've purchased your product to ask them how they're enjoying it.

Try to get testimonials that are full of concrete benefits. How much money did someone save? How much time would they have spent without your product? How much better did they perform than before?

Let your visitors know these are real people. A first name, last name and location will prove it. A photo's great. And don't forget video.

You'll find dozens of opportunities to use testimonials throughout your site: on your homepage, within your sales copy, on a special testimonial page, on relevant product pages or in relevant product listings, so don't hesitate to use them where you can.

3. Make it easy to buy
I'm always amazed how many sites make it difficult for you to buy from them. According to market research from the Gartner Group, more than 50 percent of web sales are lost because visitors can't find what they're looking for. Don't make that mistake.

  • Name your navigation buttons clearly so it's obvious what people will find when they click on them.
  • Keep your navigation simple and consistent throughout your site, so people don't have to click any more than necessary. Ideally, someone should be able to buy from you in two clicks at most.
  • Use "Buy Now" buttons that link to your shopping cart or order page every time a product is shown--especially if you have a catalog site.
    And when people click to your sales page, make things easy for them.
  • Provide a range of payment options. Accepting credit cards is an absolute must, but PayPal, Google Checkout or even a downloadable mail-in form make it possible for anyone to complete a transaction.
  • On your order form, ask only for the information you need. For example, if you sell an e-book, it's unlikely you'll need a home address. The less information people have to give you, the better they like it.
  • Don't underestimate the power of including a phone number people can call if they have any questions.

Sales copy, testimonials, shopping cart. Once you've got these three crucial elements of your sales process shipshape you can confidently drive targeted traffic to your site--and know it'll convert!
