Cool Talk on hiatus until September 11, 2008

Cool Talk is taking a brief hiatus for the summer. We'll be back on the air on September 11th. Until then, stay tuned to this blog for a continuous stream of online business building tips and tools.

Also, be sure to listen now to last week's episode of Cool Talk right here...



Double your sales through testing -- free guide and software.


If you sell anything online (either as the owner of the product, or as an affiliate) you probably draw visitors to a landing page on your site.

And out of 100 visitors who land on your landing page, some of them buy your product, and some of them don't.

How would you like to make your landing page better -- more effective?

How would you like it if twice as many people bought from your landing page?

Well, Jim Stone promises to teach you how to improve the response on any landing page. He has an eBook called "10 Steps to More Sales With Accelerated Split Testing". He used to sell it. But he's giving it away right now.

In the book, Jim teaches you how to track and improve the responses you get from your visitors. Any kind of response. Sales, Opt-ins, click-throughs, etc.

And that's not all . . .

Jim is also offering a simple version of his Split Test Accelerator software as well. You can install it for free. And that's not "fake" free. That's real free. You don't have to pull out any payment method to install and use the software.

If you've heard of split testing, but didn't know how to get started, this is the best opportunity I've ever seen to learn how to improve your marketing any time you want. You'll have a great guide, and some great software -- all without spending a dime.

Take a look here.

Get started tracking, testing, and tweaking today. You'll be very glad you did.

Cheers,

Mike


P.S Markus Allen, of Stump Markus, is obsessed with testing and marketing. His free call-in webinar takes place every Thursday at noon EST. Anyone can call-in and ask Markus for advice related to their site....take advantage of this. Here's your link.

(BTW, Markus charges $295 for a PRIVATE 45-minute brainstorming session but I gotta tell you, you can get a 30-day free membership to his Marketing Junkie Inner Circle Membership and archive, which is worth 10 times more than a 45-minute call with him). Go to this web site now and look for the section "Get Started Here - FREE!" and click on the link "Marketing Junkie Inner Circle member (FREE for 30 days)"

P.P.S. If you have any interest in marketing your web site, take advantage of this.

The Joke Man and Sharing

Two quick things today:

Here's the recording of our super successful webcast last week with Jackie "The Joke Man" Martling (we gave away a sick amount of useful information to help Jackie monetize jokeland.com. Were you able to apply some of these tips for your benefit?)





Second, recently on Cool Talk I recommended adding ShareThis or AddThis links on your web pages or blogs (like I do below) and I specified that you make the 'email a friend' option the default option (because that's what most people choose when sharing info). Well, check out this usage chart that I just received from ShareThis. E-mail sharing is the confirmed leader (35% of all sharing is done using e-mail) so when you add your ShareThis or AddThis links, be sure to make 'e-mail' the default option.




To your success!

Mike

Cool Talk recording from July 31...

Sorry for the delay in posting this (it's been a tough week as you'll hear). Links coming.




QUALITY traffic, Howard Stern, and the man who wrote his jokes

Hey, join me and Jackie "The Joke Man" Martling on Cool Talk this Thursday. This promises to be a website design and Internet marketing 'how-to' like none you've ever experienced.

On the agenda: to help Jackie take his jokeland.com to the next level. We'll be sharing email, seo, and social media marketing tips and strategies up the yin yang.

My aim is to send Jackie reeling with a bag full of traffic building and traffic CONVERTING ideas.

Looking forward to chatting with you Thursday here.

Mike Corso

P.S. If you'd like to speak with Jackie be sure to call the phone number on this page at 1:30PM EST THURSDAY (aug 7). A quick hello or a tip for his website are welcomed.

P.P.S. Have you ordered your site evaluation from Cool Site of the Day yet? Get 'em while they last. You just may be awarded the 'Cool Site of the Day' and smiling from ear-to-ear like Mark of surfcanyon.com......


“Receiving the honor of being awarded the Cool Site of the Day was an amazing experience. The amount of traffic that was sent to our website was truly impressive. Not only was the avalanche of people remarkable in terms of its volume, but also its quality. People must have taken a genuine interest in our website because not only did they come to visit, but an exceptional percentage of them chose to download, install and use our application. I will be recommending Cool Site of the Day to anyone interested in quickly getting a lot of exposure.” -- Mark Cramer, SurfCanyon.com

Are you sleeping at the wheel?

OK, three things I gotta share with you right now.

First off, remember my post of July 24th? The one asking 'how about a site evaluation from Cool Site of the Day?' Well it turns out A LOT of you read the last paragraph and posted your URL in the 'comments' section. Good thing you did, as of right now there are NINETY FOUR comments (including feedback from myself, Markus Allen of StumpMarkus, and other members of the Cool Site community). So, if you posted your URL and were hoping for some feedback, head back to that July 24th post....you just may be pleasantly surprised).

BTW, the door is still open if you're looking for a comprehensive site evaluation. This is a limited time service (honestly, they're a lot of work and I don't know how long we can keep at it).

Click here

Again, if you decide to take advantage of a site evaluation you won't regret it; we'll scour your website and make recommendations related to the following:

  1. Generating Traffic & Creating Leads (including a thorough Search Engine Optimization analysis)
  2. Converting Leads into Customers
  3. Content (making your site STICKY)
When you submit your site for an evaluation I promise you will get my personal attention (others have already said that the phone consultation alone is more valuable than anything else they've received).

Here's the second thing I wanted to tell you: Jackie 'the Joke Man' Martling will be joining us this Thursday (8/7) at 1:30PM EST on Cool Talk. We will be giving Jackie some tips to improve his already entertaining site plus we will devote some time to how we can all benefit from the growing list of social media sites. This is a show you won't want to miss ;)

To register for the call, click here.

Finally, one of our guests on Cool Talk sent this e-mail last week:

"Thanks Mike and just a few notes for all who read this, your Cool Talk show is full of "priceless" information that is geared towards any type of business. You would have to be sleeping at the wheel if you miss the opportunity to be a part of these calls.

Thanks Mike and I look forward to your future shows."

--David G Aschenbrener, Tranquil Sense

That's it for now--please leave a comment below...or post your URL and invite us to check out YOUR site. Those who post at least 10 separate comments on this blog before August 15th will get a free Cool Site of the Day t-shirt.

Talk to you Thursday!

Mike
