And….. Where was I?

Ah yes, Sunday!

But first:

=======================================

Ever wake up one morning and think to yourself: 

“Jeepers self, if only I would increase the sales of my products, somehow, some way, without having to deal with building more pages and the like!” 

Well, if so, not to fear! 

Check out the following article (and pls be sure to return back to this page after you’re completed for more excellent ideas): 

sleeknote.com/blog/above-the-fold-examples 

There, you’ll discover not 1, not 2 but 9(!) super “above the fold” examples (ie, what people will see the first time they get to your site) that can be used to increase sales. 

Goodness includes: 

What You’re Offering 
Let’s start from the absolute top. The moment a shopper lands on your e-commerce store, they need to know exactly what it is you’re offering. If they have any difficulty here, many will leave never to return. 

So you need to make it crystal clear. Take SnackNation, for example. They’re an award-winning healthy snack delivery service that sends out delicious snack boxes to customers. And they don’t waste any time letting shoppers know what to expect with their above the fold content. 

and 

Simple, Intuitive Navigation 
Ninety-four percent of consumers say they want a site that’s easy to navigate and don’t want to struggle to find what they’re looking for. And that’s a reasonable enough request. I know I find it incredibly frustrating when I’m interested in a brand but have to struggle to find a particular product. 

Offering simple, intuitive navigation is essential for engagement because it gives shoppers a quick overview of what your e-commerce store has to offer. At a glance, they can get an idea of what types of products you’re selling, so they’ll know whether or not it interests them. If it does, this increases the chances of a shopper either scrolling down the page or clicking on a navigational link. 

A good example of an e-commerce brand with superb navigation is fashion company, Jackie Smith. 

and more! 

Fact is, the idea of increasing your sales via your site design could make for an excellent blueprint or blog post topic – you could break it into: 

Step 1.) Figure out WHAT Call to action you want first time visitors to do 

Step 2.) Look thru available examples to see the best way to implement it 

Step 3.) Make it so! 

Resources to help you with the above include: 

optinmonster.com/11-examples-of-superb-above-the-fold-content/ 

www.quicksprout.com/above-the-fold/ 

sendgrid.com/blog/above-the-fold-content/ 

cxl.com/blog/above-the-fold/ 

www.impactbnd.com/blog/is-staying-above-the-fold-still-relevant-in-website-design 

www.omnikick.com/above-the-fold-content/ 

Your takeaway? 

Optimizing your above the fold content is really good stuff – definitely consider adding that to your site today! 

Enjoy.

 ========================= ==============

 

And let’s tackle today!

Yep, it is Sunday at 6am!

Let’s dive right into the weirdest of it…

I have yet to go to sleep from Saturday.

Basically gave up trying to sleep at around 1am… and worked until 4am preparing my latest launch.

From 4am until now (5:30am) I basically laid in bed, trying to sleep.

Sigh.

So… I figured… why not make sure I got this newsletter out!!

So sorry of missing yesterday’s newsletter.   🙁

This Covid19 pandemic – it’s scary as heck.

And its causing both the bestest and the worstest of humanity to come out.

2 Honorary Lings (of Asian descent) told me they were the target of harassment when they went shopping (cursed at, pushed, told to go back to China, etc.etc.etc.).

And on the other side, there’s bunches of people who are checking up on the elderly, still going to their jobs as nurses/doctors/EMS/etc. on the frontlines….

Still ensuring the trash is picked up, the mail is delivered, and people are comforted…

Its enough to make a person realize, tomorrow is never promised… and because tomorrow is never promised, make good on making today a Good Day in anyway you can.  I fear it’s only going to get worse before it gets better.

So…. socially distance yourself, try to avoid family members if possible (but check up on them from a safe distance) and do your best to make today grand.

Speaking of grand, one issue peoples have, I know, is anxiety and stir-crazyness, along with keeping kids busy.  So here are some links I’ve found for you:

And work-wise?

I made another zero cost cheatsheet!

This one deals with the art of making temporary masks and the like….

And lookie at the cover!

That’s me and me kid4 in the upper right hand corner!

And as always for all of our Corona Virus suite of products, it’s 0+ – pay what you want!

You can pay $0, $5, $10, $20….

Whatever you think the value is.

The blueprint is a quick 30 page jobber that shows you how to develop your confidence in jumping right into a new community (as well as how to find Corona Virus resources AND sewing group/community/pattern resources!!)

You can grab it over at:

Good stuff indeed because don’t forget:

We encourage you to give it away, mail it to all your friends who would benefit from the info and the like!

Sweet!

What else…

A good friend suggested I create some viral images that others can share.  I came up with:

Feel free to share the hashtag and encourage others!

And…

Didja get this?

It’s free! (but also lets people pay what they think it’s worth:

Corona Virus One Page Power Cheatsheet (plus more!)

Worried about the Corona Virus? Don’t know where to go for legitimate updates? Worried about bringing in money while self-isolating/quarantining yourself?

This goodie consists of 2 useful digital products – the first is a quick reference time saving cheatsheet that shows you where to go for up-to-the-moment Corona Virus resources, and the second is a 60+ page tutorial on how to start crafting your own online foundation to earn profits online. 

Best of all, it’s a “pay what you want” product, so you don’t have to pay for it at all, unless you want to. 🙂 We encourage you to share it around as it’s critical information!

So that’s good – it contains resources for self-isolation, how to prepare, how to deal, and more –  grab it at askblings.com/cv .

So yay.

And don’t forget….

I’m going to start a new newsletter in the future.

It’s going to focus on short stories, unusual ideas and more.

Stay tuned!

Your takeaway from this perkup?

During times of stress, pull together and help one another.  Kick fate in the *right* direction.

A very powerful lesson indeed.

And that’s all…

Because….

It’s the Internet Lifestyle!

And want you to see:  Mom still unimpressed?

Well then!

SO FUNNY!

And our daily humor/art?  Worth a second showing!

==============================

And….. Where was I?

Ah yes, Friday!

But first:

=======================================

Ever wake up one morning and say to yourself: 

“Jeepers self, if only I could devise a clever, catchy and Holywood-worthy way of both amusing my visitors when expected pages are NOT found, AND (at the same time no less!) contributing towards that exciting science of increasing my bottom line profits?” 

If so, let me be the first to tell you – that’s a rather long and cumbersome thought to occur first thing in the morning! 

But then allow me to reassure you that indeed – hoping to increase one’s bottom line income via *anything* done on your site is a Very Wise Thing Indeed. 

Luckily, the vast majority of sites come with this already built-in – it’s called the 404 page (because ‘way back when, folks who built the Internet specifications figured that numeric codes were ‘way more descriptive than, say, descriptive names. Go figure). 

A 404 page is simply the default page where all missing page queries are directed. The vast majority of WordPress themes come with a 404 template already built in as well! 

So what *do* you include in your 404 pages? 

So glad you asked! 

You can gently let your visitors know the page they are searching for is not there. 

You can provide suggestions of other aspects of your website for people to visit instead, like 

barbaraling.com/SingToMe 

Heck, the whole concept of a a 404 “file not found” page could be addressed via a quite report as well, perhaps like: 

Step 1.) Look at 404 page examples for inspiration 

Step 2.) Decide how you want YOUR 404 page to look like 

Step 3.) Create that 404 page at your site! 

Resources for the above include: 

mashable.com/2012/04/04/funny-404-error-messages/ 

sleeknote.com/blog/e-commerce-404-pages 

optinmonster.com/best-404-page-examples/ 

hostingpill.com/best-404-page-examples/ 

www.wpexplorer.com/custom-404-wordpress/ 

www.templatemonster.com/blog/create-custom-404-page-wordpress/ 

Your takeaway? 

It’s not that difficult to redirect your visitors to a helpful spot on your site if a page has been moved or taken away….

Why not explore doing that today? 

Enjoy!

 ========================= ==============

 

And let’s tackle today!

Yep, it is Friday at 1am!

Let’s dive right into the bestest part of it –

I made another zero cost cheatsheet!

This one deals with the art of making temporary masks and the like….

And lookie at the cover!

That’s me and me kid4 in the upper right hand corner!

And as always for all of our Corona Virus suite of products, it’s 0+ – pay what you want!

You can pay $0, $8, $10, $20….

Whatever you think the value is.

The blueprint is a quick 30 page jobber that shows you how to develop your confidence in jumping right into a new community (as well as how to find Corona Virus resources AND sewing group/community/pattern resources!!)

You can grab it over at:

Good stuff indeed because don’t forget:

We encourage you to give it away, mail it to all your friends who would benefit from the info and the like!

Sweet!

What else…

Oh!  I wrote the following:

“=-=-= You Who Care About Others – You are the *True* Social Safety Warrior =-=-=

You know, there are times I hate SJWs (social justice warriors) because of the extremities of their beliefs.

But you know who I *adore*?

Social *warriors*.

People who spread great, researched, valid info about the Corona Virus (ie, not the hoax stuff you see).

People who share how to defend themselves in character-building situations.

People who are *there* for others… which a lot of us truly do forget about.

I’m talking about the Police, the Health Care workers, the Nurses and Doctors and EVERYONE required to make a hospital run, the gas station attendents, the business owners who are paying their employees even if said employees cannot attend work, the wonderful typical person who pay their teachers even though there’s no classes now (but they still need salary!).

But not even only that!

Let’s focus on people who share good wishes, funny stories and memes, go out of their way to make others feel better and more.

Compare these social warriors to the extreme jerks who are doing Spring Break on the beach.

They care sh*t about others. They only think on themselves.

Remember, you can be sick with the Corona virus for 2+ weeks before presenting symptoms.

Masks help protect *others* from being infected by you. We truly have *no* herd immunity.

And those anti-vaccers who believed diseases could never return….

I hope y’all see the horriblenesss you spread to others and kept them vulnerable to current viruses and diseases.

But it’s not too late.

You can visit these sites for updates, shared below.

Dennis and I made a great cheatsheet about this (also shared below!)

and a cheatsheet about finding masks and sewing masks and gaining courage to start interacting in FB groups about it all (and yes , sewing masks are NOT up to federal standard, but whatever works, you do!)

All shared below.

===============================================

Now, here are the people I myself follow for goodness:

Self-protection, common sense, brilliance:

Marc MacYoung Terry Trahan Larry Kahn Stephen W. Browne Paul Myers

Corona Virus Updates:

Joe Finn Judy Kettenhofen Paul Myers

And of course, marketers who you’ll either love or hate, generally, there’s no in between  :

Andie Brocklehurst Arun Chandran Dennis Becker Marlon Sanders Charlene Burke Tiffany Rae Lambert Ben Adkins Ben Martin Michael Cheney Donald Wilson Rachel Rofé Michael Lantz Shane Nathan Laura Casselman Bryan ZimmermanMelinda MartinOmar Martin Dean Holland and of course, me:Barb Ling. Probably lots more – pls feel free to suggest updates!

==========================

I’d like to close this commentary by a suggestion from my fav cartoonist, Crowden Satz (also follow him too and buy his artwork! I’ll share what he’s done for me too):

BRILLIANT suggestion by Crowden Satz I’m doing this too…. are you?

Crowden Satz

And smoothly changing gears – do you interact in any way with performance artists? Dance teachers, art teachers, music teachers, etc? Well, many of these good folks are seeing their income go from something to nothing rather abruptly.

What can be done to help ensure they’re still happy and functional when the current crisis passes? Well,

YOU can help support them now just as you did when they were actively teaching. 
Think of it as further support in view of the fact that they didn’t charge enough when they were teaching (teachers NEVER charge enough) and as a payment for all the learning that you can use now as practice while you wait for the situation to change.

Have other groups of folk who matter to you who you’d like to support?

Well, go ahead and do so! It’ll make you feel good and it’ll make them feel good. Goodness all the way around.

BTW, Paypal is an easy avenue to do this: Look below for the related links.

Your takeaway?

Be wise. Whenever you hear of miracle cures, Google their names and see how they’re viewed in this world.

Go out of your way to help others. We’re all in this together (literally, especially with quarantines)… but we all have the Internet to stay in touch and help people feel better.

Share goodness with others! Send humor. Make a funny video. If you’re able to go outside with a mask, make the folks serving you laugh (I acted out an informerical for my ‘party in a mask’ for the bank tellers and customers there – it had them laughing out loud.

And finally… be gentle with yourself. Be gentle with others.

Remember – people might never remember the words you say to them BUT….

They’ll always remember how you made them *Feel*.

Help make them feel great!

Coffee? (image made was by Crowden Satz for my youngest – yep, that’s my youngest taming his fear (actually that’s my intrepretation – my youngest is a writer and has written 64 pages of a young adult science fantasy where one of the main characters tames and rides dragons) and befriending it instead….”

All mentioned links above can be found over at:

Nifty!

In other Lingland news, did NOT go out today for shopping, but did hobble around a small bit to walk the moose. And afterwards, the Husband and I had a great time exercising together on our recumbent ellipticals…

A very nice way to close out the evening.
