Hands down - pricing is the most puzzling of the 4 P marketing mix. (That’s product, price, place, and promotion.) 

In fact, finding that right price is like searching for the holy grail.  You believe it’s out there, you search and search but it’s always elusive, just out of reach.

The Pricing Puzzle

Pricing is a veritable see-saw. 

Charge too much and watch your sales plummet.  Charge too little and you get a flood of sales that bankrupt you because you lose money on each one.  You see the problem.

So, how do you find the right price for your services and products?  Study. 

If you want to increase your sales and profits, get better control over your cash flow and have enough money to grow beyond where you are now, it’s time to start learning about the wonderful world of pricing strategies and models.

Oh joy, you say.  I understand.  It’s not the sexiest part of being a small business owner, true.  But mistakes are costly - in time, money and motivation. 

Most entrepreneurs fail to see pricing for what it is - a meaningful marketing tool - and make one of these three damaging mistakes around pricing:

• Poor attitude about pricing
• Self-imposed limits and fear-based pricing
• Ignorance of pricing strategy and selling techniques

Maybe you see yourself on that list.  If you do, then you’re profits aren’t as good as they could be.  Good news is, increasing your pricing savvy just a bit can mean thousands more dollars in your pocket each year.  Let me give you an example.

Mistake #1 Taking a ‘what I don’t know won’t hurt me’ approach

Meet Sue, a friendly coach who charges $80 per session.   Grateful that her prices helped get her first clients, she hasn’t raised them in years.  Sue is certain that she’ll lose her ongoing clients if she raises her prices.  Sue knows she should make a move.  Yet, she has no idea how high to raise her fees and worries constantly what prospects would think of her if she dared to ask for more.

What Sue doesn’t know is causing money to leak out of her business.  She'd be able to raise her prices without a single complaint or worry, if she was aware of pricing tactics.

The solution is Baby Step Pricing.  Otherwise known as incremental pricing.  Taking a teeny, tiny price increase that benefits you but is barely perceptible to your client.

Speak up!

Sue could raise your price to $85 easily.  Why?  Five bucks more isn’t that much to pay, right?  It’s definitely inside her customer’s comfort range. Especially when the benefits of working with Sue would easily be more than that.  A nearly invisible increase that isn’t negatively perceived.  Imagine what that would do for you.

Best part - Sue’s income gets a nice boost.  Sue normally earns $2400 a month when she sees thirty clients.  After the baby step, Sue would earn $2550 per month, an extra $1800 annually.  That’s found money she can use to attend a conference, buy a new computer or give herself a bonus!  Rinse and repeat as needed.

You can find those ‘low hanging fruit’ profits in your business, too.

Making mistake #1 doesn’t mean you’re stupid or lazy.  It makes you human just like the rest of us entrepreneurs.  We all fear the unknown, right?  We all crave being liked.  No one likes to be judged.  Totally understandable.  Just know that if you do nothing, nothing changes.

Deciding to be curious about pricing, learning at your own pace, is the first step towards claiming  your hidden profits, skyrocketing your confidence and getting a nice big slice of peace of mind.

IF you know what's missing it's easy enough to change the design a bit, add some calls to action, upgrade your copywriting, or optimize your SEO.  These are all small changes that you can make to your site yourself, but only if you know where to start...

But you're probably too close to your site, or maybe you don't have the training in design and usability and SEO that can help you upgrade your site to increase sales yourself.

What can you learn from this Sample Expert Website Review Video?

 [Click here if you can't see the video above or watch it on YouTube here.]

Here are the problems Dave was having with his pool repair services website:

>> His site was attracting some traffic, but he wasn't attracting as many new leads or selling as much as he had hoped.

Watch the sample website design review video above to see the changes I recommended for Dave.

Every website is different, so the changes I recommended for Dave may not apply to your business. 

But that's the point - every website business is different and needs personalized redesign advice like you can get from ExpertWebsiteReviews.com.

A SEO Review Video Can Help You Boost Your Traffic, Too.

You might also need help with optimizing your site to attract search engine traffic.  Hiring an SEO consultant can easily cost you hundreds, even thousands of dollars. 

But the SEO video reviews from ExpertWebsiteReviews.com are CHEAP and super helpful.

Cy's website sells a clever online service that's helpful to auto dealership service managers.  To increase his traffic, he asked for this video review of the SEO of his site.

  [Click here if you can't see the video above or watch it on YouTube here.]

Would this kind of personalized website redesign or SEO advice be helpful to your website?

Sure it would.

The Bad News

There's no doubt that these video reviews can help you optimize your website for improved usability and sales.  BUT, the price is going up next Friday, February 3 to $149 per video. 

(Still a ridiculously good deal but 50% more expensive than the reviews cost today.)

The Good News

Today you can still book at the current $99 price! 

I will probably only have time to do about 10 more of these video reviews between now and the February 3 price increase date, so please order now if you'd like my help personally reviewing your website.

This is a great, affordable way for you to upgrade your website with expert advice - and you'll get a video you can review repeatedly to keep.

For help getting started on G+, Chris Brogan has a new book about how to use Google+ for your business that I review and recommend in this video.

[click here if you can't see the video or watch it on YouTube here]

Google+ for Business – My Review of Chris Brogan's new book

Google+ is the latest social network to threaten to change the world.  In fact, the sub-title of Chris Brogan's new book is "How Google's Social Network Changes Everything". 

That's going a bit far but I'm no stranger to grand book titles myself, and I think that Chris is on the right track:  Google+ is a game-changer, at least for social media marketers. 

I like this book a lot and I recommend it to you if you are interested in learning more about Google+.  It's helpful strategically to understand the reasons why Chris and I both think Google+ is a "really big deal" and because it's full of useful advice for using the social network for business effectively.

Here's what I like about Google+ for Business:

-         Chris Brogan writes just like he talks.  This is a good thing because in person Chris is friendly, casual, and informative.  That makes the book easy and quick to read.

-         He makes a great case for why Google+ is important, even if it's not yet anywhere close to the size of Facebook.  (Hint:  It's part of Google!)

-       The book emphasizes what you can do and what you should do – not just theory.  This includes tips on how to put your About page to good use with an interesting bio, contact info and even a call to action, for example.

-          My favorite parts are the 6 profiles of how real people use Google+ in their daily work, plus 6 more typical personas that show how you might arrange your own personal workflow to include successful Google+ brand-building.

The biggest surprise about the book is how short it is.  I was surprised when I opened the envelope at how skinny is (at least compared to my books).  With this book's focus on just one subject, however, its 160 pages are just about right for quickly communicating the key points needed.

My verdict:  Tactical, practical social media marketing advice from a guy who knows what he's talking about.  Especially if you are new to Google+ or still wondering how or if you should get involved, I recommend Google+ for Business.

Changing everything??  Not sure yet but maybe...

So what are you going to do?

You won't be surprised if my suggestion is to invest some of that holiday free time in your online business, will you?

The quiet time of the holidays is a great time to move your business forward.  You can take advantage of other people slowing down to accelerate your plans!  (Thanks to Chris Brogan for posting about this a couple of years ago to clue me in.)

8 Ways to Invest Your Time for Maximum Return this Week

So, here are  small projects that you can do online while everyone is sleeping off their holidays.  Every one will generate a positive ROI for you in 2012.

1. Update your website's "About Us" page.  Make it friendlier, funnier, more personal, add a new picture to let visitors know who you are and why they should buy from you instead of your competition.

2. Pick up the phone.  Call your 10 best customers to say "thank you".  Enough said.

3. Get a New Logo.  Redesigning your whole site takes a lot of work and money.  But a new logo can help spice up your visuals and impress your audience with a lot less work.  My favorite logo designers create good logos for only $27! {affiliate link}

4. Give an Award.  Your top blog commenters, Facebook friends, Twitter re-tweeters, or Google+ sharers deserve recognition and thanks.  Post and thank your Top 10 online friends publicly.

5. Check your site's keywords.  If you haven't updated your SEO strategy lately, is your site using the best and most current keywords to help you attract more free search engine traffic?  Check your website's title, page headers, intro copy, image tags, and internal linking structure.  (If you don't know what all that means, watch the second half of this video I posted last week on my YouTube channel and see #8 below for help.)

6. Use your email list.  If you haven't sent an email newsletter to your list lately, send a friendly holiday or New Year's greeting.  It will help keep your email list fresh and maybe inspire a few sales, too. (Bonus tip: Include a coupon to inspire action!)

7. Start an email list.  There's life outside of social media!  If you don't have an email list, get one started.  Sign up for Mailchimp, Constant Contact, or Aweber and start building that asset now. 

8. Get a $99 Website Tune-Up.  You're probably too close to your website to see it clearly anymore.  Book a professional and personalized website review video with me for only $99 (but only through year-end!)  My ExpertWebsiteReviews.com service can help you improve sales conversion, SEO, product strategy, and more.  (Check out the testimonials at the bottom of the page!)

I hope these quick suggestions help get your e-business positioned well for 2012!

What are your suggestions for using the holiday down time best?

Happy Holidays!

The most profitable niches are often those that you would not find in the Yellow Pages.

You make money by packaging up the story behind an obstacle you’ve overcome, that little technique you worked out to make your own life or office run better, that problem you helped your family fix - those sorts of solutions are what other people are looking for online. 

And with the connectivity of the web, Google can deliver all those wannabe problem-solvers directly to your product sales pages.

Learn Why Information Products are Easy to Create and Highly Profitable - Exclusive ClickBank Interview

For practical insights on digital download sales of information products, I interviewed Beau Blackwell from leading information product marketplace, ClickBank.

What follow-up questions do you have for Beau?

Have you tried producing your own information products yet?

But often the problem is not the Internet but the design of their websites. 

For example, it's hard to make money online when your e-commerce store doesn't use an e-commerce website design.  Especially if your site is "too pretty" and doesn't use a typical e-commerce shop layout, customers may be distracted from buying anything at all!

Many artists prefer painting, photography, sculpture, etc., or even the the lifestyle side of their business driving around the country to exhibit their art at art fairs, instead of the complexities of building websites, social media marketing, SEO, and e-commerce sales set-up.

To help these hard-working artists make more money online, last week I did a podcast interview at ArtFairInsiders.com, the #1 online community and discussion forum for art fair artists.

They titled the podcast interview "Online Marketing for Artists 101." 

Help Selling Your Art Online

If you are an artist trying to make money online, listen to this free podcast interview for helpful tips to improve your online art sales, including:

• tips on cheap and easy website building
• email marketing strategies

These are just a few of the trends I found at BlogWorld this year.

"6 Trends You Missed at BlogWorld" is an article about BlogWorld that Yahoo's Associated Content invited me to write. 

It was recently published detailing some of what I learned at Blog World & New Media Expo this year.

I hope these 6 trends are helpful to you, too.

What do you think of the points I make in the article?

Have you noticed similar trends in your own business?

Watch this video response to Click Millionaires member Tony's question about making money from advertising online.

It covers the pros and cons of Google's AdSense PPC ads vs. making money from Affiliate ads, including my recommended strategies for your website.

Both Adsense PPC ads and  Affiliate Marketing CPA advertising are tools which can help make you more money online.

But which is better for your site or blog?

[Click here to visit my YouTube channel if you can't see the video.]

Comparison of AdSense PPC Text Ads vs. Affiliate Marketing Advertisements

Both AdSense text ads and affiliate ads are available to any new website owner for free and easy implementation. 

Both advertising systems also automate much of the work traditionally required to sell, document, and collect payment for advertising.

So how do they differ?  Watch the video for more details but here are some summary bullet points:

PPC Adsense Advertising Pros and Cons

• Low value per click
• Distracting links away from your site
• Less editorial control including competitor ads
• Slower loading pages
• Automatically refreshed ads look fresh for repeat visitors
• High volume with reliable payment

Affiliate Program Pros and Cons

• More research required to pick profitable and appropriate affiliate ads and trustworthy partners
• Disclosures required for consumer protection
• Higher commissions per conversion
• Editorial control because you can pick your affiliate program partner products
• Good targeting to your audience's niche interests
• Strong relationships and increased commissions possible with long term affiliate merchant partners (like my affiliate relationship with www.TrySiteBuildIt.com)
• Potential SEO value from recurring, targeted content required by affiliate promotions

Recommendations:  AdSense PPC Ads vs. Affiliate Ads

High traffic sites that need to avoid "ad blindness" can benefit from PPC ads, while affiliate ads can be best for lower traffic, more editorially-driven sites that can promote affiliate products.

Best answer?  Try both and even mix them. Testing both automatically-generated PPC text ads and more customized affiliate ads on your site is the best way to determine what's most profitable for your site and audience.

Which kinds of advertising do you prefer to run on your websites?

What do you recommend to friends new to website building?
