Expert Tip:
Watching Site Stats It's easy to get caught up in watching what I call "macro" statistics...your overall number of visitors, visits, conversions, etc. But it's equally important to look at "micro" statistics -- the breakdown of those aggregate numbers that tell you where you are getting the best ROI.
Here's an example from my own experience; in 2007 I spent a lot of time (and money) on search engine optimization; over a 6-month time span I increased traffic 80%. Several months later, digging deeper into my Google Analytics data, I discovered that although a good chunk of my traffic was coming from search engines, traffic from referrals (other people's sites) was five times more likely to convert (subscribe)! So while my search engine traffic was more than double my referral traffic, referrals were providing twice as many conversions. What a revelation!

5 Ways to Add Your Personality to Your Writing

One of the fastest ways to transform your website and promotional materials into a client magnet is to add your personality. (And yes, even if you're trying to build a business bigger than you personally, you still want to add your personality. People want to do business with people, not faceless, nameless corporations.) Now, there are a few ways to do this, including branding and graphics, but what I'm going to focus on in this article is how to do it through words. Remember, the stronger your personality shows in your writing, the more loyal your customers and clients will be, and the more money you'll ultimately make. So, here are 5 ways to add your personality to your writing: - Read more. The more you read, the more you'll learn how to express yourself in writing. Not only will you learn by example (especially if you read things by writers with very strong personalities) but you'll start to absorb ways to express yourself using words that you'll be able to transfer to your own writing.
- Write more. Sorry, there's no getting around it. The more you do something, the better you'll get at it (and yes that includes writing). Start a blog, write articles for your website, write letters to your friends; it doesn't matter what it is but just start writing.
- Keep a journal. I know this sounds like more writing (and technically it is) but it's a different kind of writing. It's more like exercising (okay, maybe that's not a great analogy either). Basically, journaling works because it gives your muse a way to "come out and play." And the more you can access your muse, the easier it will be to bring your personality out while you're writing. When I say journal, what I mean is get out a pen and paper and start writing. Yes, I want you writing by hand. No computers. Something magical happens when you write by hand versus type. And just write about anything that comes up. (Nothing comes up? Write "I have nothing to say" until you find you DO have something to say.) Do this regularly and you'll be amazed at how much easier it gets to bring your personality into your writing.
- Read out loud. This is a trick actors do. They read things out loud and listen to their breathing, their phrasing, etc. This is a great way to find your actual "voice" which you then can transfer to writing. You don't have to read things you've written either. Read novels and nonfiction and articles and anything that strikes your fancy. And really listen to how you say it. Everyone reads things differently because you put your own personality into it, and that can translate into your writing.
- Write in other people's voices. This is a trick artists do. When they learn to paint, they paint in the style of other great artists. By studying how other people paint, you'll pick up some of their techniques. You incorporate what works in your style and abandon what doesn't. And by studying other people's styles, you'll start to be able to break down your own style, and thus you'll understand how to strengthen it.
You can use this for your writing. Here's how you do it: First, choose a writer whose style resonates with you. Next, copy a passage they wrote word for word. You might want to do it a few times. Then write something original, but do it in their style. Keep practicing until writing in their style becomes second nature. But this should strictly be an exercise. Don't try and copy other people's writing styles and pass them off as your own. Not only will it come across as inauthentic and more likely turn off your target market, but depending on what you do, you could end up in legal trouble. Even if you only incorporate a few of these tips, you should start to see a shift in your own writing. Before you know it, your personality will be shining through, and with it, you'll start to see more clients, more sales and more profits.
