Featured Posts that Convert Readers Into Buyers

What is the secret to getting featured in a high-profile publication? I believe having content will generate attention and interest from your audience and make them want to share it with others. This means you have to write great content that is informational but also entertaining and educational.

There’s a lot of noise about what makes a “good” featured post, but what about a good position that converts readers into buyers?

Your audience is waiting for you to give them the answer to their questions. When they come to your site, they expect to find solutions. So why not give them what they want?

For years, people have been asking me about a system that will help them sell more products and get paid more commissions for the products they promote on Amazon. I thought it was impossible to make money on Amazon for years, but I’ve come across a system helping people make serious money monthly. This unique system converts readers into buyers without feeling pressured or forced to buy.

What is your conversion rate?

You know that you’re a successful marketer if you have a good conversion rate. But what is it?

Conversion rate is simply the percentage of visitors who take the desired action on your website. For example, a conversion rate of 10% means that for every 100 visitors, 10 take the desired action.

Of course, this is not a hard and fast rule. But if you want to grow your business, it’s worth calculating.

Here are some factors to consider when calculating the conversion rate:

  • Average time on site
  • Number of pages
  • Number of emails sent
  • Forms submitted
  • Number of signups
  • Number of purchases
  • How many people are signing up for the first time?
  • Number of people who purchased from you in the past
  • Number of people who have bought your product
  • Number of people who have opened your email
  • Number of people who clicked on your call to action
  • Number of people who viewed your product
  • Number of people who clicked on your buy button
  • Email subject lines
  • Email body copy
  • Product Title
  • Product Description
  • Product Thumbnail

How to convert more readers into buyers

The average person spends 3.5 minutes reading a blog post before clicking away. In other words, to capture their attention, you must grab their interest in the first paragraph.

So, how do you do that?

First, make sure your headline is compelling enough to pique curiosity.

Second, use short paragraphs and bullets.

Third, give context to your audience by addressing their pain points and needs.

Finally, offer something of value to them. This can be a downloadable guide, an ebook, or a free trial.

Tips on improving your blog content

If you’re looking to boost your sales, creating better content is the only way.

It’s no secret that blogging is a fantastic tool for generating leads and building an audience. But if you’re struggling to convert that traffic into sales, the content is the problem.

Blogging is not the same thing as selling. The key difference between the two is that when you’re blogging, you’re creating content.

You can’t just write anything and expect it to sell. You need to write content that is worth reading and helps your visitors.

To build your own “convert” blog, here are three tips:

  1. Start with a niche

Your niche is the area of interest that your audience is passionate about. If you have a niche, your content will target that particular group.

When you’re creating content, keep in mind that your target audience is not your potential buyer. They are people who already have an interest in your niche.

  1. Write in a conversational tone.

“buyers” buy because they are in a state of desire. They want to know more. They want to be inspired. They want to feel as though they are in the know.

Write conversational to get your audience to open up and talk to you. Speak to your audience as if talking to a friend or co-worker.

  1. Use images

Images are a powerful way to grab your reader’s attention. Use images to reinforce what you’re writing visually.

If you’re struggling to generate content ideas, think like your audience. What would they like to learn? What would they want to read?

How to write content that converts

There’s a difference between content that is “good” and content that is “converting.” Good content is interesting and useful but will not always convert readers into buyers.

Converting content is about getting readers to take action. It might mean getting a reader to fill out a form, make a purchase, or subscribe to a mailing list.

What makes a good conversation?

If you want to know how to write content that converts, here are the five things that you should do:

  • Give a call to action.
  • Be relevant.
  • Be original.
  • Have a hook.
  • Provide value.

Here’s a case study if you’re unsure what makes a good conversion. I wrote a post about a new book called “Marketing for the Dark Side,” by Neil Patel.

I received many comments on the post saying it was the best article they had read all day. However, many also said it was the worst article they had read all day.

So which one was the real winner?

It turns out that the article that made people buy the book had a call to action. It included a strong CTA to get readers to go to the book’s landing page and buy it.

In short, the conversion-inducing content was the one that had a strong call to action.

Conclusion    

If you’re looking for a simple way to increase your organic traffic, featured posts are one of the best ways.

The first step is to determine what content types you want to feature. Do you want to highlight recent sales? Do you like to share the story behind a product?

Once you know what you want to showcase, you can think about the best posts.

And don’t forget to use your keyword throughout the post. This is one of the few times that you can naturally add keywords.

Lastly, always give readers something of value. They are more likely to convert if you provide them with something they can use immediately.
