Is your website putting your visitors to sleep?



My fellow speaker,

Is your website boring?

I know, I know. Your website is beautiful — lots of attractive graphics and maybe even a couple of jazzy Flash animations. And I assume it's positively crammed full of professionally-written, benefit-driven copy.

But sadly, that's not enough anymore. Today's important question is... why should visitors bother to come to your site at all? And when they do come — if they come— what is there for them to do that's even halfway interesting?

Your prospects are no different from lots of other people in one important aspect — many of them live lives, as Thoreau described it, of "quiet desperation." They're tired. They're bored. They're eager to put some fun back into their lives. Which brings me back to my original question....

Is your website b-o-r-i-n-g?

Here's a radical idea — why not make your website fun and interesting, instead of tired and coma-inducing? Why not transform your website into an experience that's so different and engaging, that your visitors not only enjoy themselves... but they also tell their friends about it?

Sounds good, right? But in these cash-strapped times, what can you possibly do to enhance your website, quickly and easily, and without costing you an arm and a leg in the process?

To answer that question, you need to take a quick peek outside the proverbial box by looking at a little quiz that measures your knowledge of the professional speaking industry. As a professional speaker, I'm sure that you'll breeze through it in only a minute or two, so

take the quiz

before you read further. It'll only take a moment. I'll wait....

 

So what did you think? Do you think people find the quiz interesting? Do you think they learn anything? Are they likely to refer the quiz to their friends and associates?

Here's the BIG question — how would you like to have a similar quiz (but customized with questions and answers focused on your area of expertise) on your website?

Well, you can! It's called the Visitor Involvement Project (VIP) and it enables you to engage your visitors in an enjoyable activity by adding a customized interactive quiz (like the one you just enjoyed) to your website. You don't have to change your website in any way... you enhance your visitors' experience by simply adding your customized VIP quiz to your already-developed website.

Your VIP package brings many benefits to your website... some obvious and some not, but all of them vital to your success —

  • The most obvious benefit of having your own VIP website enhancement is to give your visitors something to do. Something that's fun. Something that's interesting. Something that keeps them from leaving your site out of sheer boredom. Your customized VIP package engages your visitors and keeps them from hitting that dreaded "back" button!!

  • Your VIP package can be used either as a fun quiz, or as a self-assessment tool. (Note: I do not recommend that the VIP package be used as a serious assessment tool. There are other packages out there that will work better for you. VIP stands for "Visitor Involvement Process", and it's an enjoyable way to engage your visitors' interest.) Click here to see a demo of how you can use the assessment mode to capture your visitors' attention.

  • However, the VIP website enhancement isn't just fun-and-games. While your visitors are testing their knowledge, you're also demonstrating your expertise on the subject. And the more your visitors see you as the authority on your area of expertise, the higher your sales will soar!

  • And what's better than an engaged visitor? A lot of engaged visitors, of course! Because your VIP website enhancement is an enjoyable experience, your visitors are more likely to recommend it to others. (Read: viral marketing!) Enhance your website with VIP and watch your traffic soar!

  • Because your VIP website enhancement is fun, it's ideal to use as a target for your social networking activities. Post "come to my site and buy something" on a social networking site and nothing happens. Post "come to my site and take a quiz" or "come to my site for a free skills assessment" and you'll be swamped with interested prospects!

  • The VIP website enhancement is an easy way to optimize your site for search engines by adding keyword-heavy copy. Although the VIP package appears to your visitors to be 22 separate web pages, the search engine sees it all in a single page. Search engines will love you! (Quizzes and assessments that are hosted elsewhere boost their page rankings, not yours!)

  • It's a technical point, but the VIP website enhancement works without cookies. In these paranoid times, some people take a dim view of cookies, being concerned that their privacy is in jeopardy. But with the VIP website enhancement, it's no cookies, no worries, no problem!

  • Having a skilled webmaster is obviously a boon to any website. But if you're strapped for cash, you can create your own VIP website enhancement all by yourself — no webmaster needed. (And modify it yourself, anytime and at no cost.) Easy-to-follow directions guide you, step by step, through the process of customizing your Visitor Involvement Project and adding it to your website.

    (And if you do choose to use a webmaster, the VIP website enhancement is so easy to add to your website, they should be able to do it for you in a fraction of the time — and at a fraction of the cost to you!)

  • Speaking of customization, it's called the "World Wide" Web for a reason. Would you like your quiz or assessment to be in a language other than English? Kein Problem! (That's German for "no problem" if I remember my high school German correctly.) Do you prefer Spanish? Or Russian? If a browser can display it and you can type it, the VIP enhancement package works in whatever language you need!

  • Similarly, a talented graphic artist is an asset to any site. But a good graphics person isn't always easy to find — and they can be expensive. That's why the VIP website enhancement comes packaged with dozens of graphic images for you to choose from — no graphics artist needed. Of course, you can always add your logo or other customized graphics on your site. But your prepackaged VIP graphics will enable you to have your quiz operational in minutes, no outside help needed! (Take a look at all the royalty free VIP images that you can use to customize your own Visitor Involvement Project.)

  • Because the VIP website enhancement is hosted on your own website, you have no external services to worry about, you have no monthly fees to pay, and no advertising to annoy your visitors. The VIP package is yours to use — and customize — however you want!

  • Do you want to have 2 quizzes on your website? Or do you have more than one website? You can install the VIP enhancement package as many different times as you want, on all the different websites that you own, at no additional charge.

  • I've been talking about enhancing your website, but the VIP package can also enhance your training program. Do you want to rescue your audiences from Death by PowerPoint? Run the VIP package on your own computer to change your training audience from sleepy and disinterested to excited and engaged!

  • Finally, like all Evergreentm e-ports from The Barber Shop Bookstore, you have full access to all enhancements to the Visitor Involvement Project website enhancement package for the next year — at no additional cost!

Now, do yourself a favor. Show your webmaster the quiz (or the assessment) you took earlier. Ask them how much they'll charge you to add an equivalent capability to your website. (But be prepared for "sticker shock".)

Now, how would you feel about paying $360 to enhance your website? You'd probably agree that less than a dollar a day for a year's worth of increased traffic and more engaged visitors is a smart investment.


That's why I think you'll be delighted with this offer — from now until the end of the year (December 31, 2008), I'm slashing sixty percent off the price of the complete VIP package. That's right... you can add your own customizable Visitor Involvement Project to your website or computer system for only $144.
 

limited time - save 60 percent on your investment

So what are you waiting for? If you can think of any other way to significantly enhance your website visitors' experience and engage their attention for about a hundred bucks... do it! And if you can't think of another way, I suggest you think, long and hard, about how much your career as a speaking professional depends on having the most effective web site possible.

And then, don't wait — get your own interactive VIP website enhancement package today. (Otherwise, when next New Year's Day rolls around, you won't be celebrating. Instead, you'll kick yourself for procrastinating... and I'd hate for that to happen.)

As always, here's wishing you every success in creating an entertaining, engaging and profitable website!
