You probably know by now that here at Live Your Message we’re obsessed with conversion…

We’re obsessed with the question: How do we inspire more action and more sales with the same amount of traffic? How do we get off the traffic and marketing treadmill and better serve the people who are already coming to us?

Because that’s how we as business owners go beyond what I call a “one-second-stand” – the ultra-brief love affair most people have with their visitors before they bounce – so we can deepen our relationship with you.

You’re our reason for being.

If you don’t say yes to subscribing to our newsletter and investing in our programs, then we can’t be of service. We can’t contribute to you and we definitely can’t transform your life with what we do…

I imagine you’re reading this because you want to move more people into action and inspire more people to say yes to working with you.

That’s why I wanted to share this one super-simple sales page tip for instantly adding up to 25% more sales to any webinar or launch you do.

I was at a live event this weekend and the facilitator asked a seemingly simple but powerful question: “What is your definition of success?”

The question landed and took root. (It’s been a question I’ve been wrestling with the past few months.)

Someone piped up: “My definition of success is to make millions. Save millions. Help millions. And spend millions…” Sounds good, right? But that answer didn’t sit with me.

I couldn’t help asking myself, then what?

What’s your most precious and valuable resource? Think about that for a moment. It’s not money, right? And it’s definitely not stuff… If you’re anything like me it’s time.

Your time & attention is the only thing that once you’ve spent it, you can’t get it back.

So it’s no coincidence that Email. Facebook. Smartphones. Ads. Apps. Games. Media… are all designed to grab attention and keep you hooked and engaged for as long as possible. Time & attention really are the new currency of our internet age.

If you’re in a business that relies on the internet for new customers in some way shape or form than this may be the most valuable video you watch all year.

If you are the face and voice of your brand or the key reason why people choose to work with your company, then people need to see you and know what you look like.

You can’t hide behind your work, or bury your photo on the About page of your website.

You have to truly step forward and allow yourself to be seen.

The best signature photos tell a visual story of who you are. They allow your visitors to almost feel like they know, like and trust you in a single glance, paving the way for a deeper level of connection and relationship. And they align with your message, your brand and how you want to show up. There are two primary approaches you can take with your signature photos…

Ever thought about your website privacy policy? Could you be sued or held liable if there’s a privacy breach that you had nothing to do with? What about your return policies & disclaimers? Are you leaving your business wide open to be sued?

And what about copyright & trademarks? Your intellectual property is valuable and, most people leave theirs defenseless.

On Sunday, we hosted business lawyer Roger Glovsky during the marathon Your Website in a Weekend workshop and he shared some eye-opening stuff that I had no idea about.

Roger has generously agreed to allow me to share his presentation.

Las Vegas is known as “The City That Reinvents Itself.”

No other city in America is constantly innovating like Vegas.

Almost every year the city brainstorms new ways to keep the visitors coming…

The result: tourism has fueled Las Vegas businesses for decades…

How ELSE would you build a thriving economy in the middle of the desert?

(And how do YOU build a thriving online business in the middle of an economic recession?)

So how EXACTLY does Las Vegas avoid the “been there, done that” syndrome, staying fresh and relevant generation after generation?

Why do the next generation of visitors continue to make the pilgrimage?

And why do first-time visitors return for more?

The answer contains a valuable lesson for online entrepreneurs who want to not only stand out in a crowded market today, but build a sustainable business that’s going to be around in 5 years… Rather than suffer the fate of once-popular tourist destinations like Atlantic City OR the 80% of businesses that fail within 5 years of opening.

You ready for it?
