A Note From Mila

Hi,

I hope you had a great weekend. Mine was filled with Birthday parties and lots of other "running around"... Remember the days when weekends were actually relaxing? Actually, we did get to relax a little on Sunday night watching the new season of stars skating on ice... my secret dream career has always been figure skating! ;-)

Today we have a few more interviews in the member's area to tell you about. Patrysha, recently interviewed Lynette Chandler on options for conference rooms, which I found very helpful! And there's also a great interview with Roy Montero about blogging...

And if you missed last week's interview with Dr. Ken Evoy, you'll find that in there too along with all the transcripts. http://www.internetbasedmoms.com/how-to-build-a-website/index.html

Our forums are also buzzing this week so why not stop by and say hello? I'm around daily so I look forward to seeing you there. Have a great week!

Please scroll down and read about all the latest happenings in the work at home mom community, featured article and special mom offers.

Wishing you much success,

Mila Sidman, editor Internet Based Moms

Aurelia: Are you a natural pleaser? Do you have trouble saying No? Aurelia offers some ways to politely let others know that you are not available.

Featured Success Article

5 Ways to Demonstrate Credibility
By Mila Sidman

Credibility is an important component for persuasive online copy. Here are 5 quick tips to demonstrate your credibility in your copy.

State your credentials. How many years have you been in business? How many employees do you have? What are your annual revenues? Do you have multiple locations? Have you won any awards? Are you a member of any professional organizations? Do you have a large number of subscribers? Have you been covered by a major publication or media outlet? Steer clear of presenting a resume; pick and choose which credentials are most relevant and important to your customer.

Testimonials and reviews. A customer selling your product or service is worth its weight in gold. Testimonials and reviews count. To make the most of this valuable tool, ask for specific testimonials. For example, “Jane’s marathon training book improved my running time overnight. I went from a 12 minute mile to a 9 minute mile effortlessly.” Additionally, testimonials and reviews from celebrities or experts in the industry hold more value than a testimonial from someone.

Show them who you are. Pictures of you give your reader a reference and a personal connection. As a customer, it is nice to know you’re dealing with a real person.

Give them the facts. In your sales copy, if you can cite specific facts it will help to strengthen your copy. For example, “…this book has helped more than 1000 loving dog owners successfully eliminate undesirable behaviors in as little as one day.”

Compare results for greater impact and build credibility at the same time. “Dog trainers who don’t use my system typically spend three months house training their dog. Using my system you’ll have your dog trained in two weeks. Guaranteed.”

Credibility is important to your customers. It helps them trust you and the products or services you’re pitching. Be kind and give them a few solid reasons you’re the one to trust. Your sales and your bottom line will reap the benefits.
