Keeping the Attention of Online Home Internet Business Prospects
Keeping the Attention of Online Home Internet Business Prospects
First off, you have to be non-conventional. Today's society is so impatient and on the go, that I think most cannot function without something attached to them that needs a power source. Have you ever timed your family member or friend to see how fast they go through every channel on their satellite dish? Or, do you notice that when people have to wait any amount of time they get very frustrated? Flipping out because they had to wait in a drive-thru for 2 minutes. One born everyday I say.
We live in a time of "me first, got to have it now, got to go right now"! People are selfish, so give them what they want to use to your advantage. When people search your sites, blogs, etc. you have to find a way to keep them there long enough to make them reconsider watching "The Christmas Story" for the 25th time in the first week of December. Every one has a button. They have something that will intrigue and mesmerize them no matter what is going on around them.
How do you handle people with a .05 second attention span? Find out what it is by watching what people do and say. If you explore traffic exchanges, Internet home business websites, etc. you see more of the same. Online home based business owners have a tendency to copycat instead of coming up with their own creative way to get people to view their home business opportunity. It gets old, monotonous, and people lose track of what they are truly searching for.
People online get bored very easily and that is why they call it "surfing the web". Take a look at what your ads, headlines, and squeeze pages say. Be honest with yourself. Would you look at the opportunity or would you say, "Man that really bites."? Do you even remember what you put on those headlines in the first place?
Online home Internet business is the same as any other business. You have to be able to adapt and change just as any other brick and mortar business does. If they do not change, they fall under. So will yours if you do not do the same. Do you eat the same meal everyday? Why try to feed prospects the same meal over and over again?
Even if you do not have a creative bone in your body, I can bet 99% of you watch commercials and view billboards. Remember the ones that catch your eye and use that as a spoon to mix your creativity pot. Do not copy what others do, but take bits from the best and use them to make yours a little bit better. This will keep online home business prospects looking at what you have to offer for a little bit longer.
