If you’re selling anything online whether it’s products or services you need to read this. You should also have your friends and family read it too!! For many of you that know I make a living or make money blogging by selling my own products and services.
But really there’s psychology behind all this selling that has to do with why people buy! First you buy based on your emotions and that’s a fact and you act when you see an obvious visual image that catches your attention.
That’s why for years now I’ve kept this secret about my order button. Well it’s not a secret actually but most people don’t know about it. What I’m talking about is the most important element of your sales copy or the most important image to hit that home run that is responsible for putting money in your Paypal account which is the ORDER NOW! button.
When people read your sales copy all the way to the bottom if your ORDER NOW! button is no where to be found you will lose sales, big time! Or if they can find it it’s not in the right place or where you have it is confusing people and when people are confused they don’t buy.
That’s why all my ORDER NOW! buttons are Big and Bold you know it’s almost a home run already so make sure your ORDER NOW! button is screaming at them saying “click me” just like the images below.
This is the actual ORDER NOW! button for my products. “Vegas Traffic Jam” and I know for some you’re my witness from the very beginning when I launched this product and it sold like crazy!
And here's another one for a couple of my products:
"Web
2.0 Templates"
"Minisite Video Training"
"Power Pak Minisite Templates"
Yes! the buttons are responsible for closing the deal and making the sales so I can make money. I’ve been testing it for a while now and it’s working. Big and bold buttons convert more than just a regular link or small button.
I am telling you this so you know what it takes to close the deal on selling your products or services online. I did some experiments and had few of my friends run a test and it worked like a charm it just make sense to me that Big and Bold work the best just like the one below:
So don’t be surprised when you see more and more people using this button especially in the internet marketing market. Let me tell you why the ORANGE color catches your attention right away!
As you know bright orange is one of the most visible colors and the most likely to catch your eye; also it’s the color of fire, which has a built in reaction or call to action. Remember that they make life jackets, construction signs, safety signs are bright orange…
all this is because it is easy to see and it catches your attention. But I want you to watch the video below because I took my research further and you’ll see I’m not just blowing smoke. I am a testing freak! So I do extensive research And a bunch of testing before I put it to use because I want to make sure that it’s going to work, period.
As you can see all these Multi-Billion dollar company uses orange for their order button and it is because it works period it’s been tested. But you know me I always put a unique twist on everything that’s why I came up with these “Big & Bold” ORDER NOW buttons.
But I want you to grab this now because I will limit this to ONLY 100 downloads so it’s not everywhere and only you my readers and subscribers can have it so after I reach 100 I will take the order button off at the bottom.
I must do this so my graphics keep their integrity and exclusivity! So go and GET IT NOW! it’s ONLY $ 2.00 Yes! 2 bucks that’s it so hurry up! You get all eight of them and you’ll also get the Jpeg files and the PSD files all for less than a trip to Starbucks! So what are you waiting for? Grab this BIG & BOLD Buy Now! Button and start converting your traffic into SALES!
SORRY SPECIAL OFFER ARE NOW CLOSED!

Yeah! they say a picture is worth a thousand words well I must agree with that and people just like pictures even when I send out an email when I mention in my subject line photo or pictures my open rate sky rockets because many people want to see it.
Hey! it’s a human thing that’s what we do right? So I created a video on how you can put a Gravatar on your blog so when you post a comment it will show your little picture on the side of your comment and will add personality also people will get to know you. And here you go, just watch the video below.

Folks a couple of friends of mine asked me today about my sales copy for “Vegas Traffic Jam” and “Minisite Video Training” they wanted to know if I wrote them and I said, “Of course, I write all my Sales Copy.”
And this is something I love to do for my products, I just love the Art behind them you know, the justification of your products or services why they should buy your product.
Actually many people have asked me to write a copy for them and these folks are big names in the Internet Marketing world, and I declined because I just didn’t have time for it also I just don’t do this for others. But what is Copywriting anyways and “Is Copywriting Important to Bloggers?”
Well copywriting to me is strategically writing words that persuade your readers to take action whether you want them to buy now, signup now, join now, click your ads, visit your vendors site or whatever you want them to do.
So really for me copywriting is very important as a blogger not because I write my own sales copy for my products but I use this method when I write a post for my blog and it is very effective.
You know as a blogger you want your readers to participate on your blog like leaving a comment, want them to join your Twitter or Facebook and so on, so applying a copywriting on your blog is a powerful strategy to pull more readers and traffic in the long run.
Here’s a quick tip for you on how I applied this method: first I will create a killer headline that will catch my readers or even the search engine (Hint: keyword) ATTENTION and incorporate the benefits to it.
Then I sympathize with my visitors’ emotions letting them know that I feel their frustration and pain by telling them that I’ve been there and done that and here’s what I did Blah! Blah! Blah!
You need to convey your emotions with your words since they can’t see you talking so by sympathizing with them emotionally you are connecting with them directly.
Make it personal by writing like your talking to your brother, sister or friend. Write as if you’re talking to a person next to you and use the word “YOU” rather than “We” the word “YOU” is very powerful as far as persuasion, also it is very personal.
Then the “Call To Action” after you tell them all the good stuff and the benefits you want to tell them to do something or to buy your product or services well this is just very basic of course you can do more.
I just want to give you an idea on how you can use copywriting for your blogging so you can get more readers and traffic that will lead to sales so you can make money blogging!
Well if you want more comprehensive copywriting strategies like a Step By Step Manual check out my “Killer Copy in 3 Steps” this has been tested in real life and it really works. Period.
This is the same guide I used to write my own copy and also to apply that same methodology with my blogging! So if you need some kind of guide or manual to write an effective copy for your sales copy or blogging well “Killer Copy in 3 Steps” is for you!

Folk’s it’s great to be back with you guys Hey! I want to share something with you this past weekend Jan. 10-11 I went to WordCamp here in Las Vegas.
I say if you’re teaching people how to blog and how to use a blogging platform it always a great thing to go directly to the source to learn new things so you can get better. So I decided to go to Wordcamp to see fellow Bloggers from around the world!
I had fun and got lots of new ideas for my blogging, business and Mentorship Program that I can share and teach you guys. You know WordPress is here to stay folks whether you like it or NOT!
More and more people are using WordPress like The CIA and US Government firms, private companies, Hollywood (entertainment) like Martha Stewart, Larry King (CNN News) and many more! The reason why is because WordPress is the best blogging platform out there.
Better yet it’s FREE (open source). So I will definitely continue to use WordPress and will highly recommend it to all of my readers, members and students (Mentoree) because I know the people behind WordPress are working so hard to make this blogging platform be the best out there.
Engineers are working day in and day out, brainstorming new ideas (I smell WordPress 2.8) and the WordPress crews are just amazing people, I met with them.
Not only did I meet with WordPress people but also I met with Matt Mullenweg the founding developer of WordPress, remember I said I went straight to the source right? So this is it! Here’s a little bit of info about Matt.
Matt Mullenweg is the founding developer of the popular open-source blogging software WordPress and writes a popular blog Photo Matt He also founded Automattic, the business behind WordPress.com and Akismet.
So Yeah! I met him! It was an honor to meet the person who founded the blogging platform that I am using to make money blogging! I also told Matt that and I thanked him and the rest of the wordpress crew for creating WordPress.
OK! so I was really having a great time while I was there but here’s the exciting part during lunch everyone went to do their own business to get something to eat and you’re not going to believe this!
Matt Mullenweg was right next to me and he invited me to sit down and join them for lunch in the buffet! When he asked me I don’t know what to say (I was Speechless) I said OK! Sure.
Man! I was thinking this is History for me because not only did I meet the Father of WordPress but he also invited me to lunch with them out of hundreds of people that attended the Wordcamp I was very fortunate to join him for lunch.
So we talked there were only four of us, I was sitting next to Matt and right in front of me are matt’s friends Lorelle VanFossen and Liz Strauss. Matt he’s an amazing guy he made me feel comfortable by initiating conversation, he’s a very nice guy.
After the lunch Matt and I walked together back to the Wordcamp and we talked I told him I want to be the first beta tester for WordPress 2.8 he just laughed. Anyways I am just honored to meet him and talk to him one on one.
Man! I mean this guy flew with his private Jet and here I am next to him just chit chatting, you know? Anyways Matt is really an amazing human being he likes to help and is very humble and down to earth.
So Matt if your reading this I want to say Thank You So Much! Also you can comment if you want to! lol 
OH! I also meet with a very good friend of mine Warren Whitlock I’ve known him probably for five years he’s part of local mastermind group here in Vegas he also kept sending me some new clients for consultation while in Wordcamp.
Warren is also the author of the best selling book (Hard Copy) Twitter Revolution it’s five stars on Amazon.com, he also has a website over at http://bestsellerauthors.com
OK! I Think I’ll wrap it up here just remember that I have so much new information to share with you this 2009 and I want you to benefit from it and use it so you can be successful with your blogging career.
Also one more thing sometimes you need to go out in the real world and shut down your PC to network with others. It is impossible to be successful by your self!
My Dad always told me his favorite quote "No Man! Is An Island" it simply means human beings do not thrive when isolated from others.
TIPS – Want to make money with your blog? Well one thing that really works for me is I sell my own products on my blog! If you don’t have a product of your own to sell on your blog I want you to check out my product page.
I am sure you’ll find something that you can sell on your blog. Some of my Minisite Templates come with Resell Rights kind of like a "Biz N The Box" So go ahead just click the link the below: http://www.alberthallado.com/Product-Page.html
