Make Your Own Website This Weekend

You’re in luck…I’ve just put together a crash course that’ll allow you to build your own fully functional website, and have it up and running before the end of the weekend.

My name is Cartess Ross and over the last 12 years I’ve built thousands of websites for small businesses. Some of the websites I built were as little as $300.00 and as high as $18,000.00.

If you’re wanting to build a site that’ll sell your products and services, then I’m the guy who can help you. My clients have sold tens of millions of dollars worth of products and services directly from their website and in this course, I’ll teach you how to do the same thing…

Take a look at some of the modules I have listed below… This is a quick-start program and I’ll be adding a ton more modules to the site for ABSOLUTELY FREE!

So if you’re ready to get started, scroll down below and leave only your first name and e-mail address and I’ll e-mail you a link to the backend of my website so you can get started right away on building your own website! You’ll only receive e-mail from me as it relates to building your website. Your information will not be shared or sold to any outside party.

Make Your Own Online Video Commercials to Convert and Close More Sales on Your Website

If you haven’t considered the use of mini commercials on your website, then you’re missing out big time. I’ve managed to use all sorts of online video to generate leads & prospects, showcase products and services, and I’ve even used video to educate prospects so I could get them to fork over $3K, $5K and even $18K. This all being possible because of ‘video commercials’.

The Internet allows you to go directly to the public, and it allows you to put forth your best pitch directly to people who are most interested in what you have for sale. For example, someone is on Google right now searching for a way to fix their dentures. Either their tooth popped out while enjoying dinner with friends and family; perhaps their dentures cracked after accidentally stepping on them. Right now, they’re likely typing these phrases into Google’s search bar:

  • how to fix my dentures
  • i broke my dentures
  • fix my dentures
  • denture repair kit
  • or even denture repair

After doing their search, this person will likely end up on a couple of websites and based on what they find, they may or may not buy a product. However, we’ve found that a video commercial we put together for a denture supply lab dramatically increased the number of ‘denture repair kits’ sold. So much more, they ended up hiring a 24-hour call center to process their orders, while they simply focused on fulfillment.

See the video in action  (i added this to my vimeo account so  you could see)

The website that offers a solution for this person’s problem will get the sale… And this website commercial has helped close the sale for many of the prospects that visit their website. In fact, the video on this website works for our client 24/7. Whether it’s 12 noon, or 3 a.m. in the morning, this website commercial works non-stop to get the sale.

Crafting Your Own Website Video Commercial

In order to have a successful web video commercial, you’ll need a plan. There’s a lot more to creating these types of videos than simply creating 30 second spots. The primary thing you’ll need to know is your market. Understanding and knowing the things that keep your prospects up late at night will allow you to craft a message that speaks directly to their concerns/issues.

Be very clear when identifying your audience. Remember, your ad can’t appeal to everyone. For example, a video ad for denture wearers wanting whiter and brighter teeth (dentures), will likely have a different voice than one targeting young adults looking for whiter and brighter teeth.. While the ad may detail the same ‘benefits’, the different audiences will require different approaches. Know who you’re crafting your message to before doing anything else.

Once you’ve figured out your audience, it’s time to write the advertising script and begin the video production process. Many so-called experts will tell you that your video needs to be short, simple and straight to the point. But it’s being my experience that you shouldn’t spend too much time debating how short your video should be. Your concern should be in making sure you provide all the relevant information that’s needed for a client to make an informed decision.

Some of my personal videos go up to 40 minutes long… and it’s necessary when I’m trying to sell them on a service that will cost them $3,500.00. Don’t focus so much on the idea of keeping your videos short.Rather, focus on the quality of the content. Ensure they’re getting all the informtion they need to make an informed decision. While you only have a few seconds to capture your audience’s attention, it’s important you grab it almost immediately. If you miss that window, your video commercials will be ineffective because no one will watch them all the way to see what you’re getting at.

Using Pictures to Help Tell the Story in Your Video Commercial

Ideally, you’ll want to use relevant images that readily convey your message. If you’re needing to convey that your dog training service will solve problems faced by new puppy owners, an image showing a dog tearing a pillow apart will quickly convey that potential prospect’s problem. Following up with an image of the dog in a well behaved manner after introducing your service leaves your prospects with the impression your service will solve their frustrations.

Promoting Your Video Ad Commercial

There are a ton of video ad networks that’ll place your web video commercial onto websites that target your desired demographic. These networks have thousands of publishers they work with on a regular basis, but of course, there are certain guidelines you’ll have to follow. That’s why I personally prefer to find websites where my target audience hangs out at and contact those websites directly to find more about their advertising packages. If they offer advertising, I’ll generally create an appropriate ad, which will be placed on their website (or announced in their weekly/monthly newsletter), and when someone clicks on the ad, they’re routed to a landing page so my content and video talks directly to their problems, fears or concerns…

This approach has allowed some of my website properties to earn over $100,000.00 per year without me having to talk or convince prospects to buy anything. The video and the content did all the selling for me. But in order to get your video to close the deal, you MUST know and understand your audience.

Not Your Typical Website Commercial

Some may not consider the video below as a commercial, but I’ll let you in on this little secret… This video (and I have another one under a different channel on youtube that’s gotten me over 250,000 views and thousands of subscribers). Anyhow, this is a 9 minute commercial… Instead of outright selling my product, I’m educating my prospects on how they can start their own t-shirt business with this machine. I address some of the most common questions in this video, while at the same time, directing them over to my site where they can purchase a $97 course:

I started getting tons more questions about my process I had to create additional videos to address those… These video commercials, or infomercials, are vastly responsible for closing most of the sales that occur on that website.

I made the following for a local home inspector…. He wrote the script and used his own voice and I made the video. This video allowed him to educate his prospects about the home inspection process. This video was placed on his website (this is the test video I have posted below)

So… if you haven’t considered using ‘commercials’ or ‘infomercials on your website to help convert more sales, I think you should look into doing it. It works and it’s an additional tool that’ll work in conjunction with your website!
