The thank you page, aka order confirmation page also is fertile ground for the right kind of upsell, whether it is an additional item to qualify for the free shipping or an affiliate offer. Affiliate upsells which are category-consistent with your store and which offer an incentive for your customer to return and shop with you again perform best.

This is one of the best articles I have seen. My attention span isn’t all that great sometimes, but your article held my attention all the way through — especially your style using bulletpoints — the “this comes first,” “this is next,” etc., style. I am going to find other articles you’ve written and try to study those.

I have heard of virtual assistants before but I also heard they get paid peanuts because most of them are in Asia where the cost of living is really low. I’m not sure if that’s true or not.

Good information man, I agree that affiliate programs can truly increase the amount of traffic you get every month, but you do have to be careful, because there are so many scammers out there that will try to take advantage of your affiliate program.

Okay – Thanks for that. And yes that is my strategy. I have noticed another minor error but I will save that for a later date when I want more free advice.
Thanks again.

Point out an error on the page and then ask for some free advice … is that your strategy? Outstanding! I love it.

Check out this post here on the art of writing persuasive copywriting:

You should add some unique content (text other than pictures) that describes the art, it’s style, characteristics and appeal to the audience that you’re targeting. Add some ALT text to the images as well.

The bottom line is that search engines are still very much interested in words on a web page. If it’s unique and compelling, the search engines will index it and your audience will love it. That’s what will attract the search engine spiders. Not the images (as good and as compelling as they might be.)

Now that I have your attention. I’ll ask for a little free advise. What do I do for an art gallery website that is mostly pictures of art and not much content. If I overload on keywords I’m afraid I will be viewed as spam?? Any suggestions?
Thanks
Carole

LOL. That’s fantastic! Thanks for catching that, Professor. I was very clearly NOT an English major.

Hi there – just read “Writing Product Descriptions that Sell” and had a bit of a laugh when reading the last paragraph about grammatical errors.

“below the fold” on the pag. Avoid spelling and grammatical errors that will call the credibility of your site into question. Nothing can kill your conversion rate like typos and grammatical errors.
