Advice from Angela Kambarian
When it comes to your sales pages or landing pages, some good old-fashioned techniques still apply. In other words, some sales and closing strategies utilized in offline promotions also work online.

Urgency â?? give people a strong and legitimate reason to buy immediately.
New â?? people usually pay more attention to something new, interesting or unique.
Scarcity â?? let people know that supplies are limited.
Free â?? people like freebies. Is there anything free that you could incorporate into your offer? A free gift could certainly influence the decision-making process.
Save â?? people love to save money, especially in a bad economy.

Let me assure you that you cannot ignore the power of these approaches. As a matter of fact, most of your readers will just teeter on the edge of buying. Therefore, the classics outlined above, may dramatically increase your conversion rates. Just give those teeters a little nudge. What you need to do is push them over the edge, from ALMOST buying to ACTUALLY buying.
