Will YOU Be The Next
Photographer Who Discovers The Secrets Of Having A Successful
Website?
Dear Friend,
Some get it. Some don’t. You see, some people understand
the power of the Internet. They understand a website can reach
out beyond your local market, and bring you in business from
anywhere in the world. No matter what type of photography you
love; no matter how much business you desire. A strong online
presence can build your business like no other marketing tool.
I’ve been online for over 14 years. I started as a
young photographer myself, accepting any businesses that walked
through my doors. I needed the money –why would I turn
down a few dollars? It didn’t matter if I had never photographed
a certain style before; I was willing to try anything for the
chance at a few extra dollars to pay my bills.
Then I discovered a secret; a secret I’m going to share
with you in just a few minutes. A secret that doubled, even
tripled my business year after year. A secret that allowed
me to take in fewer clients, yet make more money. A secret
that allowed me to pre-select my clients, instead of begging
them to choose me.
Very early on, I knew the Internet was going to be a powerful
marketing tool. In fact I was so sure, we began developing
our first website in 1993. Because the Internet was so new,
we tried everything. We played with design. We added graphics
and images. And we tried marketing and optimizing our website
before marketing and optimizing were even considered a science.
We were true pioneers in the online world.
Want to know something else?
I learned early on the difference between
a successful website and an unsuccessful one. Really, it doesn’t
take too much to figure out.
A successful site makes money.
An unsuccessful site doesn’t.
Simple, right?
Yet why are there still thousands (maybe even
millions) of designers out there today, selling millions of
dollars of web design services to photographers that will never
bring in any business?
I ponder that question all the time.
I continually meet photographers that are happy
with their bells and whistles –the stuff that makes a
site fancy and beautiful, but just doesn’t bring in the
leads or the profit –until I start questioning them on how
much money their website is making them.
Then the blank stares begin. And
you can see the thoughts beginning to form.
That’s why I’ve decided to make
the whole process easy and provide you with the steps that
will give you everything you need for a complete website.
You see I enjoy helping photographers
just like yourself. I talk with small business owners
every day. I love helping them through marketing strategies
and developing Internet approaches. I love working together
with a client, developing a dynamic web presence and watching
them succeed. Frankly, it makes my day to help other people
succeed. And I’d love for you to be my next
success story.
Our approach is different.
We approach web design differently from most
web designers. In fact, if you’ve ever had a site created
before, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how differently
we design our sites.
We start out by finding out whom your target
customer is. Then we discover what type of services you offer.
We determine your marketing strategies, and build your site
accordingly.
Your website will become a part of your marketing
arsenal, not just a tool that sits around gathering dust like
an old brochure. Your website is meant to grow and function
with you 24 hours a day, 7 days of the week. It’s your
sales team, and it needs to sell just like a valued member
of that team.
When we design your site, you’ll have
the start of an online marketing tool that will help you bring
in the traffic, and ultimate the leads that will make you money.
While we can’t make any guarantees on exact numbers,
we do guarantee that you will love your site and it will be
more receptive for inclusion on the search engines.
So where do we start? Why should you
invest more of your
hard earned cash on another web design?
We understand that every website has two parts:
the part your customers and prospects will view when they visit
you, and the part the search engines will use to rank you.
Most web designers focus exclusively on the
graphics –the part you will show your clients and prospects.
This is important; but what if you want people to find you
searching online?
All of our designs are created to make sure
both pieces are working together. In fact, we will help you:
-
Design a site the search engines love!
-
Understand the one thing photographers LOVE
and search engines HATE!
-
Discover why photographs (hundreds of them)
can be your new best friend!
-
Use the right copy to reach your perfect
customer!
-
Create one simple tool that will allow you
to add unlimited photographs to your site –for the
life of your site!
-
Understand how to use your site as a marketing
tool, not just an online brochure!
Keep in mind that everyone has to start out with a basic site.
It’s your starting point.
But what you do with it from there is what will set you apart
from your competition. Our sites are created to provide you
with the optimal starting point. You’ll receive:
-
A custom design that incorporates your colors,
your logo, and your style.
-
A web presence with up to 10 pages.
-
Navigation that is clean, simple, interactive
and allows room for growth.
-
Search engine programming to allow your
site maximum possibilities for Internet marketing.
Because we understand marketing, your site will have all the
tools necessary to move your business into the information
age. We understand what customers and prospects are looking
for online, and we’ll put your website on the right track.
After all, what good is a beautiful site if its not bringing
in leads –and money!

Once your site is built, you’ll have the look and feel
of a professional site. What about the copy?
So many business owners don’t realize the life
of their business depends on the copy they write. So
they trudge along writing everything themselves. Then sit
back and wonder why things just don’t work.
Does that sound like you? Have you ever squeezed a few words
out, thrown them into a word document with a photograph you
downloaded from the Internet, printed it on your color copier
and called it a brochure?
I’ve seen many brochures like that. And most of them
just don’t make the grade when it comes to sales. They
may produce a few sales. But nothing like they could with a
professional design.
A professional copywriter knows how to reach your reader,
speak to them in their language, and motivate them to buy from
you. How do they know? They study. They’re in the business.
They make it their business to know.
And how do I know? Because I’ve been writing
for years!
I started writing my own copy for my websites back in the
early 1990’s. I tweaked the information. I wrote from
the heart. And gradually I learned what worked and what didn’t.
There is a difference writing for traditional marketing methods,
and writing for the Internet. I’ve learned from the best,
and tested my work over and over again.

While I know that heavy graphics and Flash sites don’t
work well for online marketing, I also realize that photographers
love the look and feel of a moving gallery.
So I went in search of the perfect tool that would give me
the best of both worlds.
Our online gallery makes adding images easy. In fact, you
can easily add an unlimited number of galleries to our program,
each with an unlimited number of images. Our program gives
you a control panel that makes uploading images a few second
process.
Whether you want to create one gallery with hundreds of images,
or create a dozen galleries with dozens of images each, you
have the control to do so.

Gallery only
While each piece we offer is an incredible value, if you
put the three pieces together, you’ll have a wealth of
information and services at your fingertips. Not only will
you have a dynamic website, you’ll also have motivating
copy ready to generate leads, and a gallery ready for you to
place images online easily anytime, night or day.
So, are you ready to move your website into a new dimension?
Are you ready to create success online?
Then I can’t wait to start working
with you!
By now you may be asking yourself, “how much?”
I know you’ve probably spent $1,000, $5,000 or even
$10,000 + on your current web design. And that’s been
sitting out there doing nothing for months on end.
And if you’ve ever worked with a copywriter to write
for your business, you know those fees can range anywhere from
a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.
With that in mind, how much would you invest in a marketing
tool that could bring in thousands of dollars to your business
over the next year?
I’m in this because I love what I do. It gives me great
pleasure to help other photographers. I love being the Get
Known expert, and look forward to helping build as many small
businesses as possible. So I keep my prices at the lowest possible
cost. Yet I too have to make money to stay in business.
If you purchased each of the above three services individually,
you would spend $1750. But for a limited time, I’m offering
you a special price when you purchase the combined three services
together. That means you’ll get the basic web design,
full copywriting for your design, and the online gallery specifically
designed for your business –all for the low price of
$1600.

I’m not sure how long I’ll keep it this low;
it all depends on how popular it is. You see, we enjoy
keeping our staff small. So, as our schedule fills up, we'll
begin
making changes to this offer.
So if you are really serious, act now or it may be too late!
I’m looking forward to working with you!
Sincerely,
Lori Osterberg

P.S. If you’re still debating
about your website, think for a moment how much your
website is costing you. How much was your designer?
How much is your monthly hosting fee? How much for your “extras”,
you know the shopping cart fee, the autoresponder fee, the newsletter
fee, etc.? Can any business REALLY survive if every marketing
tool they use COSTS them this much per month?
P.P.S. We believe
getting your website up and running is just the beginning.
From there, you need to work
with your site on a monthly basis, developing connections
and marketing your business to the people that will find
you, and ultimately do business with you. If you're ready
for monthly marketing for your website, click here.
