How to Increase Sales and Conversion Rates

Feb08
2010 1 Comment Written by Archy Olaybar

Your website conversion rate will tell you the numbers of visitors are taking a certain action – it could be completing a purchase but could also lead visitors to sign-up on a contact form, signing up for a newsletter, etc. You can measure your website conversion rate by setting up goals within your Google analytics program. Analytics will give you valuable statistics which you can use to help improve your business.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) helps you by increasing conversion Rates

Your conversion needs to optimize for the functionality of your eCommerce cart. The greater the clicks you make a visitor perform in order to reach your goal, the more you dilute your conversion. “Abandoning the process” is a huge problem in eCommerce. SEO will help you to achieve top rankings in major search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing.

Below are simple yet effective ways to improve the cart and shopping experience of a customer:

  • After signup, take the visitors directly to the next page they were expecting to visit.
  • Make the Checkout, Continue, Add to Cart, View Cart and Submit Order buttons/links more visible, prominent and compelling. (Make sure these important buttons are stand out on your website. Conversion rate will help you draw your website user’s attention and make them subconsciously follow the process in order to reach your goal.)
  • Don’t send your website user’s to their cart after adding an item.

Just follow these steps and witness how your conversion rate increase and make more sales.

2010 Leave a Comment Written by Archy Olaybar

I’d sign-up to Facebook WishList promotion few months ago, because it sucks my mind when I heard that you can make money on it by referring somebody to join the campaign just for FREE.

I never pour much effort on Paypal Facebook WishList campaign knowing that I’m not really sure about it until I recieved an email yesterday.

“Hi Archiejam Olaybar,

Did your friends take your hint to buy you gifts you asked for using your PayPal WishList you created in Facebook? We sure hope so! And just as we’ve promised, you’ve earned some cash for helping us spread the word about the PayPal WishList app. We also hope you’ve enjoyed using it.

The cash you’ve earned from the WishList promotion will be credited into your PayPal account. (If you don’t see the earnings just yet, it means we’re still working on it and we’ll credit it to your account shortly.) To claim your money, log in to your account and click “Accept” next to the earnings – you’ll have 30 days to claim your money.
LOG IN

You can treat yourself or spend it on others. There are thousands of websites that accept PayPal. Here are some ideas to get you started:

* Shop with confidence on PayPal’s Asia Mall, featuring some of our trusted Asian merchants.

Plus, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and now is a great time to start picking out gifts for your loved one! We’ll also have some great gift ideas and promotions being announced shortly. So check back with us often.

Enjoy your earnings!
The PayPal Asia Team “

That made me say… “Uhuh! So its true…” Sometimes we are not convinced by things we haven’t touch or seen yet, unless we see the facts that its in our hand. That’s human nature anyway, so don’t worry.

Today, I received another email from PayPal Private Limited ROW Masspay…

“Hello Archiejam Olaybar,

Always all about making money online right? Another web design layout done today, so it means that another work to be add on my blog “web design archives” – but this time, its all about Quit Smoking.

Made the layout dark and quite clean since I’m black inspired as of the moment, why black anyway?

If you worked in black layout, light colors will goes as the right contrast bring awesome life to the layout. Using shades of black, grey and monochromatic colors will enter an eternal loop.

Web Design: Restaurant Themed

2010 Leave a Comment Written by Archy Olaybar

I’m developing a website for a beachfront restaurant here in our city, the layout is already done yesterday and I’m working on implementation process as of the moment. All photos I’ve used for this website are all scanned and its not quite good idea if you asked me.

Why scanned photos are not good for web design?

Because you cannot get quality images if you just scanned the images, it depends on the scanner and photos anyway. But if the photos was taken years ago, then you’re in trouble because the photo might already lose its quality due time.

But as a designer, I need to make it worked using graphics or photo editing program.

And this is it… below are the finished Restaurant themed layout I’ve come up.

It’s not all about money or gifts you have

2009 Leave a Comment Written by Archy Olaybar

This is my last post for this year. Well, got nothing to share more than thoughts. I can really say that I’m contented with my life, blogging brought me lot of things this year – my make money online is working.

If you guys are wondering how much money I make online this year, my hard work was just paid off – it’s 5 digit $. I got my bonus, already received payouts from advertisers,  now I can sign off, keep my earnings and continue next year. But that’s quite unfair I guess.

I’m planning to give back my few % of earnings to those who need, which I’m going to start with my relatives. I’m going to play Santa Claus for this Christmas to them, then something to give on street children tomorrow night which I did last year.

Christmas is not all about money or how many gifts you received. It all about how much you can give to those who need the most, touch someone’s life and make them believed that Christmas really exist in each of us.

How much money you have? Can you give them a little bit of what you have?

How much money you have? Can you give them a little bit of what you have?

For this I encourage everybody to spread the spirit of Christmas. May the Lord our God blessed us, strengthen us and nurture our heart with everlasting love.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!!!

Keep you posted next year.
