Too many business owners and marketers will only create one version of an offer, sales page, opt-in page, ad, etc., and hope it works. If it does, they’re happy. If it doesn’t, they think that the offer doesn’t work.
That’s a horrible way to go about it. If your first attempt doesn’t work, you’ll want to create several different versions of all of those to see if maybe it’s something in your sales copy. And even if you get lucky and get a winning offer right off the bat, you’ll want to constantly test new things in the sales copy to see if you can increase clicks to your ads, lead conversions to your opt-in pages, sales to your sales page, and upsells to your upsell pages.
It doesn’t have to be complicated. Even just changing around headlines or little things here and there can often have drastic effects. For instance, you might find that changing a headline and shortening down the length of an opt-in page might boost your lead conversions from 20% to 30%. That alone could increase your sales by 50%! And by tweaking an upsell page just a bit, you might find that you move conversions there from 5% to 8%, which would be a 60% increase on the backend! Minor changes can go a long way and can quickly turn a loser campaign into a winner.
And the best part about all this is that slight increases in conversions here and there can be responsible for massive increases in money made overall. But having said that, you want to be sure to focus your efforts first on the parts that make you the most money. For instance, improving your front-end conversion rates or those on your most significant money-making upsell will almost certainly make you a lot more than focusing on your fourth upsell that doesn’t sell much currently (not to say you can’t improve that and earn more, though).
One fantastic free tool you can use is BizFire’s Funnel Maker, which you can get for free at www.bizfire.com/funnelmaker. This tool not only lets you build out funnels to simulate a real business, but it lets you see what happens when you increase or decrease conversions in various parts. It’s perhaps our favorite tool to play around with and plan out our businesses!
So make sure you are constantly testing new sales copy and upsells to see if you can increase your opt-in rate, sales conversions, or upsell conversions. Minor changes can often have drastic effects that can turn a lousy campaign into a winner.
