Monday
Introducing the Terrifying Tactic that Just Handed Right Channel Radios a 33% Boost in Revenue Overnight
- Guest: Andrew Youderian of eCommerceFuel, Right Channel Radios and TrollingMotors.net
- You’ll Learn: How to test your way to the perfect price.
When Andrew Youderian quit his job to start a pair of online drop-shipping businesses, pricing his goods was one of his first challenges he tackled. He researched competitors and read up on methods. He also started a price-testing experiment that focused on the top 20-25 items he sold in each store. One business saw a drastic decline in sales with a marginal increase in price while the other grew its bottom-line profit by 33%. If you’re just starting out or already well-established, this episode helps you understand how data can illuminate some not as obvious trends in your customers’ behavior.

The Simple Piece of Code That Got GetDrip.com a 30% Increase In Conversion from Visitors To Trial Users
- Guest: Rob Walling of GetDrip.com and Startups For The Rest of Us
- You’ll learn: The delicate art of capturing wandering visitors.
Everyone knows they should be doing drip email marketing, but not many people know how powerful it is or how to set up a drip campaign. Then Tuesday’s guest, Rob Walling noticed that most visitors were either clicking a free trial button or poking around for a while before disappearing forever. In response, Rob designed an non-obtrusive pop-up registration for a 7-day email course. In doing so, he not only boosted conversions, but gained the ability to hold onto otherwise wandering visitors and use email to build personalized relationships. In this episode, you’ll see how to build your own drip campaign from first capturing these visitors to making them valuable customers.

A well-structured sales funnel isn’t much good if it leaks. On Wednesday’s episode, we look at Woopra’s focused study that revealed where customers left Woopra’s sales process. This study led to an email campaign that boosted their conversions by 20% in a single week. Whether that’s sending a reminder, forwarding a quick message, or installing a simple line of code (as in Woopra’s case) you’ll learn that sometimes it just takes a small change to keep the customers rolling.

Ontraport Got A 58.6% Opt-In Rate On A Hangout Registration Page Using This One Tactic
- Guest: Zack Johnson of Ontraport
- You’ll Learn: The value of dynamic copy + constant testing.
Looking to boost the effectiveness of their hangout registration pages, the e-business automation platform, Ontraport experimented with how to ask attendees to opt-in for their hangout. Specifically, they used a webinar registration page from LeadPages and pre-populated the landing page fields on this page. By pre-populating the fields, Ontraport was able to boost opt-ins to nearly 60%. Through this Ontraport also learned the value of brand congruence and has since placed a huge emphasis on copy that flows across their entire digital presence.
