If you’re an entrepreneur and are selling online, no doubt you know that a picture is worth a thousand words, as the old adage says. And of course, this is true. A myriad of details can be understood at a single glance that words would take pages to describe. However, along with your pictures, you need good copy. When you’re selling a good product, you need not just a good image, although this is important, but good copy that compels a customer to read it and then feel compelled to buy the product. Oftentimes, web entrepreneurs are trying to sell products with images, but not copy. This is a mistake, because even though images these days are easy to produce at high quality, your sales volume is likely to suffer if you just rely on pictures alone and don’t include good copy as well.

It’s true that pictures are wonderful, and you should never have copy alone without a picture beside it if you can help it at all. Simply put, people want to see what they’re buying. However, even though the “a picture is worth a thousand words” adage may be true, you need to have good sales copy to supplement it. In essence, the two play off each other and become greater than the sum of the two parts. The pictures play to those who desire to see what they’re buying and bring in browsers, while good copy actually makes the final sale. This in essence is what is going to make you either succeed or fail in your business.

Pictures Tell While Benefits Sell

You may have heard the phrase before; pictures tell, benefits sell. Different entrepreneurs with different products and ways of doing business may have different things to say about this, but in this context it is true. If you think that your business can get by on pictures alone it is probably only a matter of time before your theory is turned on its end. Especially when it comes to items with a larger price tag, customers want to be sold on a product if they are going to invest a great deal of their money into it and this may be the case with your business.

This brings up another good point; if the product is higher priced, you’re going to want to provide plenty of pictures and written detail besides. The more money customers invest in products, the more they want to know about them, both visually and in the written word.

So think about this for a minute. Think about why your product is special and why the customer should want it. Is it a special type of 14 karat gold jewelry with a unique embossed design? Is it an exact replica of the crown jewels? Is it warrantied for a lifetime? Do you offer 100% money back with no questions asked if customers are unhappy with their purchase? This is exactly what your sales copy should say, and it should compel both your browsers and your serious buyers to buy; customers should not just feel that they want the product, but they should feel that they need it. If you appropriately sell them on the benefits of your product, this type of good copy will make you more sales than a great picture, even though, of course, a great picture is still part of the package.

Sell the Product’s Benefits

If you’re selling a particular product, remember that the features of a product are important to describe, but it’s really the benefits that are going to interest the customer most. Benefits are what the customer can expect when they buy the product that will do them some good. For example, if a particular type of shirt is made of 100% cotton while a competitor’s is 100% polyester, your copy might want to say why the cotton is the better buy. This is where you extol the virtues of cotton in your writing, such as that it’s all natural, a renewable resource, and so on. Whatever the benefits, make sure you detail and extol them so that customers know exactly what benefits they’re getting from the product.

Pictures are, of course, very important too. After all, if you’re buying a cotton shirt, it’s all well and good to be extolling the advantages of 100% cotton, but you still want to see what you’re buying. This, along with good sales copy, is what will sell your product. Of course, a picture without sales copy is also no good at all, and needs to be included so that customers not only see the benefits and features of a product, but are persuaded to buy.

It’s true that it’s said a picture is worth a thousand words, because it can cover nuances of detail at a glance that words simply cannot describe as easily. However, it’s not true that pictures are worth everything. When you’re selling a good product, you need both a good image so that the customer can see what they’re buying and good copy. Too often, web entrepreneurs these days are trying to sell products on image alone, and they’re getting lax on having good copy, since high quality images have become so easy to produce. However, if you pursue this as your only venue of advertisement, you’re likely to see yourself suffer in sales, as most people do.

It’s true that pictures are wonderful, and you should never have copy alone without a picture beside it if you can help it at all. Simply put, people want to see what they’re buying. However, even though the “a picture is worth a thousand words” adage may be true, you need to have good sales copy to supplement it. In essence, the two play off each other and become greater than the sum of the two parts. The pictures play to those who desire to see what they’re buying and bring in browsers, while good copy actually makes the final sale. This in essence is what is going to make you either succeed or fail in your business.

Pictures Tell, and Benefits Sell

Just as with the adage, “A picture is worth a thousand words come” it’s also true that pictures “tell” but benefits are what really sell the product. It doesn’t even really matter what you’re selling. It’s still true that you’re going to need at least some copy and a good picture or two, no matter what. Various entrepreneurs have different strengths and weaknesses themselves, and they can and should play with their copy and images to their advantage. Those who are more visually attuned can rely more on images and supplement with copy, while those who are more linguistically attuned can focus on the copy and just provide a good image or two so that the customer can see clearly what he or she is buying. However, you’re going to have to have some of each in your product listing no matter what. When you do, of course, you also play to customers’ strengths and weaknesses; some prefer pictures more, while some prefer copy, and vice versa. The same is true of the product itself. Some products are visually interesting and need to be shown, such as a beautiful vase, while others need more written description, such as the latest innovations in computer technology, for example. Only you know your products and strengths well enough to know just what mix you should have in your listings. Regardless, though, people are going to want to know exactly what they’re buying before they do, especially if they’re going to invest a lot of money in a particular product.

This brings up another good point; if the product is higher priced, you’re going to want to provide plenty of pictures and written detail besides. The more money customers invest in products, the more they want to know about them, both visually and in the written word.

Now, think about this for a minute. Why is your product special? Is it that is made of 14 karat gold? Is it an exact replica of something the Queen might wear? Does it have a lifetime warranty? Do you offer a 100% money back guarantee with no questions asked? This is what your sales copy should say, and it should compel your “browsers” to buy because they feel they not only want it, but need it. If you appropriately sell the benefits of your product, this will probably make you more sales than a great picture, even though, of course, a great picture is still necessary so customers can see what they’re bringing home. However, don’t skimp on the copy.

Sell the Benefits

Many people mistake the features of a product for the benefits that potential customers need to hear about. Benefits are the result of features, things that a product brings to the table that could do a person some good. For example, a feature may be the fact that an item is made of 100 percent cotton, but what good does that do a person? It may keep them very warm in winter so they don’t need a coat-this is a benefit.

Having pictures is all well and good, but it is important to have a good sales copy to go with it. Pictures aren’t everything, and while they are important a lack of good copy may be your web-based company’s downfall.

The email has transformed the world of communication. Just type in your message, press the send button and your email will be delivered at the speed of light. Nothing could be easier. But with the advance of the email comes the risk of receiving mail from dishonest people looking to scam you. If this should happen to you, your first thought will be how do I track this email address to find out who sent it? Read on to discover how to do a reverse email search.

The first step in learning how to do a reverse email search is to learn the components of an email address. This is how you will find the clues that will reveal the address of the malicious email.

The first part of an email address is the header. This is the most important piece of information that will provide you with the clues that you need to trace an email. So let’s look at a header more closely.

It is important to note here that if you don’t know how to uncover the headers in your emails, then you need to do a search online that will tell you specifically how your email provider conceals these headers. Once you find out how to reveal the headers in the email, then you can begin to look for the information that will help you track an email address.

After you have figured out how to open the header, look for the part that says received from. This section will have a “from and by” area. The “from” part is the machine that is sending the message and the “by” part is the machine that is accepting the message.

In this section of the header, you will see an IP address. You can easily spot this because it is a series of numbers that are broken up by periods. This IP address can be plugged into a reverse DNS lookup service that can be found on the Internet. There are a few free to use service providers available. This IP address will reveal the user’s ISP or employer.

Now if you want to find out where this ISP is located geographically, you can do a search on the Internet for sites that provide this service. You can find out what city and state an ISP address is located in. This will give you some great clues about the sender of the email.

That is the basics of how to do a reverse email search. On occasion, it will not be helpful if the sender is using a economizer that will cloak the IP address. Spammers will often place fake “received from” headers in the emails that will make it almost impossible to be able to track an email address. But if you have access to the right information, you can learn how to do a reverse email search.
