It doesn’t come as much of a surprise that most websites don’t end up making much money. For all the promises of internet riches and a new way of doing business there are only a select few that have really made it big online. Nevertheless there is no reason why you can’t join the party as well.

Assuming your website already has some traffic I want to share a sneaky trick with you that will literally increase your website sales overnight. By adding this one component you will be pleasantly suprised by the results. It can seem a little obvious once I share this information with you but the majority of website owners don’t use this powerful concept.

All you have to do to increase website sales overnight is… create more trust with your visitors. This is one of the biggest keys to online success yet so many website owners don’t understand it. Allow me to explain.

When you shop in a regular store you get to see the salesperson face-to-face. You get to have a personal interaction and your intuition then guides you towards making a decision as to whether or not you can trust their advice. Consumers are a lot smarter these days when it comes to sniffing out the dodgy car salesman persona.

But we don’t have that luxury on the internet. We rarely get to see the owner of the website face-to-face although technologies like website video can help change this. Essentially your visitors have to decide whether they can trust you from the information you present.

This means that you have to cover your website with proof that you can be trusted. Testimonials from satisfied clients are an obvious way to do this but don’t forget to make sure your testimonials are believable as well. Others might include trust and secure website logos, affiliations, memberships to regulating bodies etc.

Acting like a real person is the best thing you can do to get someone to trust you. People generally buy from people and not big fancy companies. They will buy a particular brand name because they trust the salesperson but if the salesperson leaves then their brand loyalty might leave as well.

Most companies try to look bigger instead of smaller and as a result they lose that personal touch which is a really huge competitive advantage. This is the reason why big companies like to hire spokespeople to represent their brand as they realize you’re more likely to identify with one person than a faceless brand. They are actually trying to pretend to be smaller!

Now bring that personal touch back to your website and work on creating trust with your visitors. If people believe they can trust you and want what you’re selling bad enough then you are guaranteed the sale. In my opinion this means that you should do everything in your power to gain the trust of your visitors.
