Your online prospects are looking for more than just a solution to their problems.
Of course they’re looking for that, too – but they’re also looking for someone they can trust to solve them.
Think about it…how many websites do you visit where you can sense a real personality, or feel you can trust them?
I mean… it’s not like you can reach out and touch a website, like you can when you visit a local business, meeting the owners or sales people.
You see, trust is one of those things that can’t be bought. It has to be earned.
So, just how do you earn your visitor’s trust?
Well…a common and effective way is by giving instead of immediately taking. Give good, solid information and advice to your visitors. Information that will help them make a good decision plus will help you earn their trust.
And people like dealing with people they know, like, and trust.
No trust = No sale!
So in summary – Make sure the web copy on each page of your web site gives your visitors a warm and fuzzy feeling, building up their trust, and helping them solve their problems so ultimately they’ll feel good about handing over their hard earned money to you instead of your biggest competitor.
So what are your thoughts?
I’d like to know.

Trust is important, I agree. Unfortunately I couldn’t read the beginning of your article because your popup was in the way and I couldn’t close it! You might want to look into that…
Hi Paul,
Thanks for the heads up and your comment. If you refresh the page, the pop-up won’t show up again.
It’s a bugger of a problem and I’ve been trying to get resolved, but it happens so rarely, nobody can figure out why.
Sigh… Merrill
No problem. Just thought I’d let you know, because that might be a problem for first time visitors. Maybe a different popup script might do the trick.
