Chapter 1:
Securing The Order
Synopsis
If you're selling digital products your best choice for adding a
commerce page to your site is ClickBank.com. It's a reputable
company that specializes in payment processing for digital products.
ClickBank.com will let you process orders placed with Visa,
MasterCard, American Express or Discover cards. Every transaction
will be assessed a low fee for processing and there's a $50 application
fee. The transaction upper limit is $250 and Clickbank will only
process payment for digital products that put up be downloaded
immediately on purchase. But just how do you get people to push that
“buy” button?

- 6 -
The Convincing
Principle number 1:
Make certain that your product or service will have value to your
audience. Your buyer isn't going to stick around considering your
material if you can’t provide them something they want or something
they require. When dealing with services, like landscape gardening
services for instance, your reader may already have that service, so
your task is to tell them what is different or new. Having something
different and stimulating is the key to getting readers into your
article.
Research on likely rivals of the product that you'll be selling. Learn
about their strengths and compare them with the unparalleled selling
points of the product that you'll be selling. Refer to a few sample sales
letters. You are able to get them by buying books or searching for

- 7 -
them on the net. If possible, try to get the sales letters of your product
rivals.
Principle number 2:
Deliver a hook. I don’t mean the buccaneer kind, but it serves the
same function. In a domain where headlines pelt you from every
angle and at each click of the mouse, you have to have something that
sticks out. Having a bold headline that distinctly states an advantage
of your product or service will acquire the attention of your reader
and draw them in so that you are able to sell the product throughout
the body of your material. Those advantages are going to be the most
worthwhile part of your material, so it helps to display them from the
beginning. If you wish to embark on your own business or pull in the
big bucks, this is the field that you might want to venture into. I can
tell you that the first learning stages may be really challenging. All the
same, if the correct methods are applied, I'm positive that anybody
can excel!
Principle number 3:
Demonstrate, don’t tell. Customers will care less about telling them
what this product or service provides, but rather in you
demonstrating to them the process. Tell them how you do something
and provide as much info as you are able to. The fewer enigmas with a
product, the more faith buyers may put into your pitch, and therefore,
your product. While you don't wish to appear condescending, don't
assume that everybody is acquainted with the terminology for your
industry. Therefore, you have to examine your description from an
objective position and ask yourself:

- 8 -
 Am I getting too technical?
 Am I presuming readers will have too great a knowledge base?
 Am I utilizing terms that are unfamiliar to anybody outside of
the industry?
 Am I utilizing "buzzwords"?
 Do I adequately describe the principal function and
advantage(s) of the product or service?
 If I'm introducing a new product or concept, am I including a
comparative reference point?
Among the best ways to evaluate your products and services copy is to
simply ask others to read the section and explain in their own words
their understanding of the products or services you sell and their
advantages. Lucidity is the key.
All in all, you need to start out by finding the worth in your product or
service so that you are able to sell it to your customers. Then, make
certain you have a strong hook to keep hold of your buyer, and top it
off by showing your readers as much info as you are able to that will
sell your product or service.
As well, don't forget testimonies. Emphasize the unparalleled selling
points of your product and include great testimonies of your product
buyers. Attempt to make your product sound more special and/or
better than the product of your product rivals. Compose your sales
letter in a personal tone - as in by speaking to your likely buyers in
your letter instead of telling them what to do.

Chapter 2:
Using Guarantees
Synopsis
You didn’t used to see a lot of guarantees for net services and digital
products.
However today’s fresh generation of bloggers and entrepreneurs have
chanced upon that this age-old offline strategy may be one of the
most potent routes to more sales.

- 10 -
They understand that net buyers are harried by fears and doubts. And
there’s nothing that will kill a sale faster than doubtfulness.

- 11 -
Take The Fear Away
After all, with a guarantee that’s potent, the company truly must trust
that they have the best products ever, right?
That’s the might of a guarantee.
Too many individuals believe that selling is about talking individuals
into purchasing things, as if you are able to wear individuals down
with a barrage of words.
You can’t.
You are able to compose all the selling copy you want about how
you’re the finest, provide awesome quality, and include lots of
awesome content. All the same, it’s all for nothing if your likely
customers have any doubts.
Doubt produces hesitation. Hesitation puts sales to death.
The resolution? You have to decrease the perceived risk individuals
feel so there's no hesitation to take you up on your proposal.
And that’s the key — risk decrease.
Think of this, if you’re selling on the net, individuals can’t experience
the thing you’re marketing before they part with their cash. They can’t
view it, hear it, feel it, taste it, or smell it. So there’s forever a level of
doubtfulness and risk.

- 12 -
A guarantee helps you bring down the feeling of risk by resolving
questions like “Is it all you say it is? What if it isn’t? May I return it if I
wish to? Is there a catch?”
By a guarantee, they feel positive that they won’t be stuck with their
purchase. And the very act of providing a solid guarantee lets
customers know you truly trust the product is worth its selling price.
But there’s a different reason to utilize a guarantee — ethical motive.
You must value customers so much, that you simply don’t want them
to have any product they don’t utterly love. You need to feel like if you
don’t deliver great products, you don’t deserve the cash.
Wow! Many individuals think of buyer loyalty as buyers being loyal to
a business. However how about a business being loyal to buyers? This
is a formula for long-run success if I’ve ever seen one. And it all comes
from a potent guarantee.
A guarantee might be the most crucial copy you ever write, but it isn’t
rocket science.
Your guarantee ought to do 4 basic things:
 Reassure your buyer that you trust in the quality of your
product.
 Spell out your terms and specifics clearly.
 Nail down a generous period of time for evaluation.
 State what you'll do if the buyer is disgruntled.

- 13 -
Here’s the classic guarantee guide:
We supply the finest gizmos in the world. If you're not totally satisfied
for any reason, simply return your gizmo within 60 days for a total
refund of your purchase price.
You are able to be more personal. Or stronger. Or more particular.
Simply keep it short and sweet.
But what about setting limits?
 You may have a time limit: “If you’re not satisfied, return inside
30 days for a total refund.”
 You may have usage considerations: “With normal use …” or
“When utilized according to directions …”
 You may have a liability limit: “Liability limited to the
replacement cost of this product.”
 You may wish to specify repair or replacement instead of
return: “If it doesn’t work as promised, we’ll repair or replace it
free of charge.”
 Keep away from asterisks or teensy legal type. They simply
produce the suspicion that you are a weasel.
Does a guarantee present a gamble for you?
This is a basic misconception. The logic becomes like this: “If I
guarantee to repay money after somebody gets the product, they will
rip me off.” This is particularly scary for individuals selling digital
products.

- 14 -
The truth is, you may will get cheated by a couple of individuals. But
in the long haul, what you acquire from additional sales will far
outbalance what you lose from those scant few cheaters.
The sole time you take a chance is when you provide lousy products.
Provide awesome products, and your “returns” won’t amount to a
great deal.
Remember, your likely customers feel a particular level of risk if you
offer something to them. A guarantee is your most beneficial tool for
bringing down or doing away with that risk.

- 15 -
Chapter 3:
Using P.S.
Synopsis
Individuals frequently ask me to improve their marketing copy. A few
are amazed when I tell them there’s nothing truly amiss with their
copy, it simply needs re-formatting to give it a little zest and make its
message more readable and clear.

- 16 -
A Great Idea
In many cases, I tell people to add bold, underline, and utilize a P.S.
Here’s how come these simple add-ons may bring sales up to where
you want them.
Many individuals read in a huge hurry and don’t take time to place all
the emphasis in the correct places. They might pass over the most
exciting, all-important piece of your offer. You are able to
dramatically call attention to the advantages and features that will
truly sell the deal by utilizing bold and underline. I flip-flop the two
utilizing bold in some places, underlining a term or word in other
places.
Utilize bold and underline so a reader may skim down your page and
discover the most significant points. Frequently you are able to do the
same thing with red font or a yellow highlight behind your terms.
Likewise include a P.S. How come? Studies demonstrate sixty percent
of individuals reading printed copy read a P.S. Prior to them reading
the remainder of the letter.
Although this doesn’t work nearly as well for net copy, a P.S. is all the
same a great idea. Utilize your P.S. to reiterate your offer.
Include a contact number, e-mail address, or site URL.
Don’t be frightened to enthusiastically hype up your offer.
Exuberance sells big today.

- 17 -
Chapter 4:
Structuring The Order Page To Complete The Order
Synopsis
Winner! You've gotten your sites buyers all the way to that end of
your sale: the order form. Geez, but this is a serious and shaky
moment indeed. Will that order form be as great at selling your
product as the rest of your web site has been? Let’s make certain.

- 18 -
Collecting The Cash
A huge giant box cluttered with words and numbers and costs
and boxes with checks or tiny circles with black dots in them
and rows and rows and rows of selections may be harrowing for
somebody simply trying to order a hankie for her Aunt.
You have to be heedful to make the order form as friendly and
welcoming as a person at the checkout, as that's basically what
your order form is, only in cyber variety.
It's all about easiness. What are the selections? Size, color, and
quantity are the basic selections for many products. For these
selections, showing the choices in a dropdown menu is simplest
to understand, rather than having a different row for every size
and color.
For number, a simple box where the buyer may type in the
precise number they wish may be quite handy. That's a case
where a dropdown menu might be too much of a fuss.
Have prices distinctly marked.
If there's something that bears on all items, like “free shipping”
or “tax in the XYZ,” you needn’t place it next to each item; just
announce it at the top of the form. Otherwise you're simply
being superfluous.
Using Clickbank

- 19 -
Your Clickbank payment link is what lets buyers actually buy
your product thru the Clickbank order form.
You’ll have to manually produce the payment link to send
buyers to the order form, and then put in this payment link in
HTML code on your sales page. Place the HTML code for your
payment link in the accompanying format:
http://ITEM.VENDOR.pay.clickbank.net
<a href="http://ITEM.VENDOR.pay.clickbank.net"
target="cb">CLICK HERE TO BUY</a>
You have to tailor-make this HTML code to link to the order
form for your particular product:
Substitute ITEM with the item number of the product
purchasable. As you assemble products to sell in your Clickbank
account, every product will be ascribed a unique number: 1, 2,
3, and so forth. If you're assembling your first product, the item
number is 1.
Substitute VENDOR with your Clickbank account nickname.
If you wish, you are able to substitute CLICK HERE TO BUY
with any text you choose, or if you're acquainted with HTML
you are able to insert code to make the payment link a graphic.
Prior to submitting your product for approval (covered earlier
in this series), you have to initially place a test order for your
product as though you were a buyer. That way, you are able to

- 20 -
make certain all of your links are working prior to potential
clients trying to purchase. Testing your payment link likewise
helps see to it your product is approved the initial time by
Clickbank’s Product Approval team.
To attain a test buy, you’ll need to utilize test charge card details
that Clickbank supplies to you. You will not be able to place test
orders utilizing a real charge card number for products that
haven't been submitted or approved.
To acquire this test charge card data, click the My Site link
under the Account Settings tab. If you’ve produced a product in
My Products, you ought to see a box near the bottom of the My
Site page named Testing Your Products.
Next to Test Credit Card Number, click on Generate New Card
Number. This will produce a charge card number, expiration
date, and validation code you may utilize to place test orders.
This card data will be valid for twenty-four hours, after which
time it will run out and will no more be functional for test
orders.
To attain a test buy, go to your sales page and click your
payment link or Purchase Now button as though you were a
buyer. On the Clickbank order form, put down any address data
you wish, along with the test charge card data.
When the order is submitted and okayed, proceed in the order
process like you were a buyer, to ensure you are able to access
or download your product. It’s crucial to make certain you may

- 21 -
access the product, as product approval will test this prior to
approving your product for sale.
If you get errors during a test buy, here are a few things to check
into:
 Is your payment link assembled right?
 Is your Clickbank nickname spelled right?
 Did you record the test charge card data right?
 Do you have the right item number named in the payment
link?
 Have you saved your Thank You Page URL in the My
Products section of your account? (We'll cover thank you
pages later)

Chapter 5:
Using An Exit Script In Case They Reject The Offer
Synopsis
Commonly a potential customer looking to buy something online
doesn't make the buy on the initial visit. It's stated that it takes a
visitor three -five visits or about persuasion for the visitor to make the
buy.
It's a basic practice to utilize exit scripts on the site to stop the people
leaving your site without a buy. Such exit scripts are commonly
utilized to supply additional benefit or speedy action bonus which
helps the visitor to make speedy decision to get out to his billfold.

- 23 -
A Look At A Script
Have you bookmarked your own web site to get some fast traffic from
the bookmark sites? I thought so. However have you ascertained the
bounce rate for the visitors coming from such sites? If not, I'd suggest
you do so at once from Google analytics or your site logs. You'll be
amazed to see that such visitors depart your site in three -five
seconds. What about monetizing this traffic & converting them to
subscribers or purchasers? Exit splash simply does that.
Exit Splash says it grabs the haggard net traffic and directly turns it
into new readers and commissions. I've seen lot of exit scripts and
also utilized them.
Exit splash is presupposed to be an exit trapper or the exit script to
convert the leaving visitors. However this isn't simply a popup script
software but a big package of training videos along with the script.
The gist of the package is absolutely the popup generator software
however the package comes with big amount of training material
Is it any good?
Sure. I've always been advocating exit scripts. There are tons of free
scripts available which may be utilized to produce such exit popups or
the popup windows. Though I didn't find anything fresh with the pop
up returned by Exit Splash script, I like the extras that came with the
package.
However if you're simply looking for popup window generator code or
exit script, it might not add up to spend the cash to buy the package.

- 24 -
You ought to be able to download free scripts to do the job. I'd
recommend considering Action Popup script which utilizes light box
script and produces a nice exit popup. The action pop script may also
be deployed as a WordPress plug-in assuring you don’t need to fret
about the script deployments.
Exit Splash Pro’s
 Simple to utilize. You don't have to know programming to
produce the exit popups.
 Comes with video recording tutorials on utilizing it effectively.
 Rendered scripts are simple to deploy.
Con’s
 Only javascript alert like popups are returned.
 The pop up script may occasionally crash the browser.

Chapter 6:
How To Write A Good Thank You Page So Your Customer
Feels Appreciated
Synopsis
Authoring a great ‘Thank you’ page is frequently an afterthought for
many individuals. They’ll put something generic like “thank you for
signing up”. This is all right, but I wish you to think about for a
minute what the user is doing at that minute.
They have just digitally signed your agreement, they are questioning
what the following step is – this is your chance to explain it to them.

- 26 -
What Happens Next
We have an answer to make this simple…
How to compose a ‘Thank you page’
Authentically thank the user for agreeing to your terms, think about
the situation – is this the bit where they just concurred to go ahead
with your business or product or service? Thank them for picking you.
Explain that they’ll have a product link or further instruction waiting
for them in their inbox or should have been redirected to another
link. This only occurs once they have has signed the agreement or
finished the order process.
What’s the following step? What’s going to occur now they’ve signed
up or made a purchase? Are they going to get a telephone call from
your billing department? Will they get their product shipped? Are you
sending a download link? What’s the situation? This is in reality the
most crucial bit of the ‘Thank you page’ as it’ll alleviate an immediate
feeling of “Oh crap, I’ve just bought this thing, what now?”.
Quickly thank them once more and give them contact information or
something if they want to talk to someone.
You might not think much of them. As a matter of fact, they feel like
one of those “annoying” little jobs you have to do at the eleventh hour
just before you launch your product or e-zine…

- 27 -
But, buried inside each of your “Thank You” pages lay astonishing
opportunities…
However only if you understand how to produce them effectively.
You see, following the initial transaction, your buyer or prospect has a
particular anxiety…
He or she wishes to be reassured it was the correct decision to buy
your product.
And, occasionally, the buyer might be so nervous of what the spouse
may think that he or she is already seeking the reason to return your
product.
And what’s more, as soon as your buyer has purchased your product
or signed-up for your e-zine they need clarity, not mental confusion.
They need to immediately get going on the advantages they were
promised.
This implies your “Thank You” page is a critical component to your
business.
It quiets your buyer down and directs their thoughts
So, whether you wish your leads to purchase a different product, or
have opt-in to a purchasers list, the thank you page tells them where
they ought to be centered.
Let’s view a couple examples of an introduction for an effective thank
you page:
Kudos On Buying X Product

- 28 -
Dear Friend,
Thank you for purchasing X product. Your purchase is valued... and I
wish you the best of luck utilizing this new product.
You now bear the solution you require to achieve X advantages… or
transform your life from having X issue to enjoying X resolution
(paint a clear-cut image).
Step-by-step download instructions to get your digital products are
below. You are able to begin enjoying your product at once.
Sincerely yours,
Your Name
P.S. Keep an eye on your e-mail for an extra bonus worth $X arriving
X days from now.
Thank You for Your Patronage!
Dear Customer Name:
I just wanted you to understand that we really enjoy working with you
and feel honored to be your selected (type of business).
Your business is much valued, and we'll do our very best to continue
to meet your (sort of service) needs.
Your continued support and suggestions are a vital part of our
growth. And for that, we're most grateful.

- 29 -
Thanks again! We look forward to serving you for many years to
come.
Best regards,
Thank you pages do many crucial things:
Reassures the buyers or prospects they've arrived at a wise decision
by re-emphasizing what they may now do, and stressing the
advantages.
Informs buyers how and when they'll get their product. The more
particular you are able to be, the better. Assume your buyer is dying
to acquire your product and is going to be waiting in anticipation, till
it arrives. For digital products and e-zines you might say, “A welcome
e-mail will be delivered in moments.” Or hard products may state,
“Your product will be sent in less than twenty-four hours thru the
U.S. postal service and will be arriving in 3-5 days.”
Lets the buyer understand how to stay in touch with you. Whether
you communicate thru blog, e-mail, or hard mail, you’re setting the
buyer up for the next step in the sales process. This is particularly
crucial if you need your customer to double opt-in for e-mail.
Motivates your buyers or prospects to devour your material. Inside
you might entice them with things to come, or advantages they might
be able to accomplish in minutes.
If you've just sold a product and are offering an additional one on the
back end, you have to make certain you acknowledge the sale before

- 30 -
you go into a different product, and make certain you don’t cross the
line by selling before delivering. Pitching an unrelated product (or
even a related product) will switch off many buyers till they have
received what they just bought.
You are able to add personalization into the sales process.
Traditionally, calling someone by their name (rather than “Dear
friend” or an impersonalized headline) will dramatically better
response.
Provide effective delivery instructions. When you've digital products,
clear-cut instruction is crucial for new buyers. Here’s how each one
should look:
Initially, thank your buyers for their purchase and assure them that
they've made the correct decision by re-emphasizing crucial
advantages.
Following, explain how to get the new product. If you ship something,
then provide a time frame of when the prospect will get it. Be
particular as possible. On the other hand, for digital products, then
explain bit by bit how to get it.
Remember, most the population has no concept of what a digital
product is. They're frightened they’re going to hit the wrong button
and the PC will crash. Empathize with your buyers. Help them
comprehend using screenshots and detailed instructions and you'll
transform them into loyal buyers as a result.
Offer extra resources. Once you’ve delivered on your process, then
provide your customer more value. This may be another e-course to

- 31 -
pre-sell another product, or it may be a box that merely says,
“Recommended resources.”
Don’t forget… thank you pages ought to be utilized for each
transaction your prospect or buyer takes. This includes if affiliates
take the jump to market your product. For each leap of faith someone
takes on you, you have to reassure him or her. So, on your affiliate
page, let buyers know precisely what they may get by marketing your
product.
Show your affiliates the tools you have to provide them… and explain
how to utilize them. Get every affiliate excited about what he or she
may accomplish and watch your joint profits soar.
Thank you pages have a lot more advantages than most marketers
believe. It's an error to simply throw them together at the last
moment and put in little thought as to the user experience,
particularly when it may mean lower refunds, more pleased buyers,
and significantly more money in your pocket.
Not simply in the short-run with additional sales, but in the long-run
as you've built immediate trust with your prospect.
You've delivered on your promises and taken a different step to
building a long-lasting relationship.

- 32 -
Chapter 7:
Ways To Minimize Your Refund Rates
Synopsis
It’s a double edged sword, this matter we name refund. By providing
the same, we may in reality strengthen relationships with our
customers. They'd trust us easier if they'd be assured that they may
always return a product that wouldn't meet their expectations. On the
other hand, returns have been ill-used by some people.
As we’re dealing with digital products, they may easily make a copy of
the particulars they’ll purchase, and then, call for a refund. In effect,
these individuals would be able to get our products free of charge,
which would mean a decrease in our profits.

- 33 -
A Look At Returns
So ought you or shouldn’t you provide refunds?
Well, you ought to understand this much. Providing refunds is the pro
way of doing business. It’s your way of telling your buyers that their
patronage is appreciated and that their trust would never be
compromised.
The trick isn't in refusing to provide refunds. It’s in discovering ways
how to cut back refund requests. For this intention, let us look at
some astonishing ways that would help you limit the incidence of
return requests.
Supply high caliber products. This, naturally, is really elementary.
Returns are born out of buyer dissatisfaction. If the buyer is satisfied,
there would be no cause for them to call for a return. Supplying first-
class products really worth their time and hard-earned cash would
take out from their minds any possibility of thinking about a
chargeback.
Supply excellent support system for a buyer. Most net businessmen
trust that buyer support is unneeded for a net enterprise. This is a
fake notion. To the contrary, a buyer support system would step-up
the value of your product and drastically cut back your refund rate.
Recognizing that their grievances may be coursed through a
presented channel would dissuade your buyers from falling back on
refunds.

- 34 -
Supply lifetime updates. You might have noticed the prevalence of
offers with lifetime updates lately. There's more psychology to this
technique than what is readily evident. By supplying lifetime updates,
you'll be giving your buyers something to look forward to.
In the event that your products would fail to meet their anticipations,
they would be hesitant to give back the same because of the coming
updates you've promised. Updates may enhance the value of existent
products, and providing such, for a virtual eternity at that would be
too great an offer to refuse.
Supply bonuses. Bonuses have long been utilized as come-ons to
sweeten the deal and make them simpler to sell. Bonuses, all the
same, would likewise serve as an anti-agent against possible returns.
By boxing your products with a bevy of additional items, your buyers
would feel that they'll get more than what they will pay for. The sheer
variety provided by bonuses would make them believe twice about
calling for a refund.
Give the most beneficial guarantee that you may muster. Guarantees
are different from returns, naturally. The former is more concerned
about buyer gratification. The latter is centered on security of
investment. Guarantees may range from the good word of respected
individuals, or actual fixing of the products in the event that they're
susceptible to breakdowns.
A guarantee is promise to your buyers that you've done your best to
hand over to them product that you really believe is the best, and that
you'd be by their side if that very product fails them.

- 35 -
Provide loyalty payoffs. Acknowledging loyal buyers would go a long,
long way in cutting back the rise of return rates. Repaying them
would establish lasting relationships that would make the need for
returns almost obsolete.
No businessman would wish to get a return request. It’s both
unsatisfying and downright depressing. But keep your spirits high.
Returns are a part of the game. They're something we have to live
with. And luckily, they're something we may actually control.

- 36 -
Wrapping Up
You have to do the thinking for your customer. Don't stop short of
describing the advantages, providing reasons why and telling stories
simply as you're afraid of insulting your audience's intelligence. You
are not.
People frequently say, "My clients are not cretins," "the advantages
are obvious," "they may think for themselves" or "they may figure it
out on their own."
Technically, that's authentic. But leaving the copy to the reader's own
twists will likewise open up a can of worms, since they'll likewise
think of all the additional things that might be irrelevant, false or
unneeded, which will neutralize the sale.
And unlike a face-to-face sales demonstration, you're not there to
answer any questions or protests. So your copy has to do that for
them. As a matter of fact, you must do the thinking for your buyer
and tell them how come your offer is so useful. Naturally, they might
'get it' in the abstract. However going from the abstract to the reader's
particular situation calls for thinking on their part. A customer
thinking about your offer wouldn't dare do that thinking. You have to
accomplish it for them.
