OneGreatFamily Gets a New Look

What do you think of the new website design?

To start the new year off with a bang we have designed a whole new look to OneGreatFamily. We want to show it to you because we need your input.

The new website design will be in test mode for the next couple of weeks, so just a few people who go to www.onegreatfamily.com will actually see the new site. Everyone else will continue to go to the current site. But if you click here you will automatically be directed to the new site. or visit: www.onegreatfamily.com/2005

We are showing OneGreatFamily affiliates the new site because we need your feedback. Your input will let us know if we are on the right track with the new site design.

After you have checked out the site, there are two ways for you to give us feedback:

1. Send us an email to heather.matthews@onegreatfamily.com (or just click here) with your thoughts on our efforts. What did you like? What did you dislike? What is still unclear? How can we make it even clearer?

2. Take our survey by clicking here. The survey is short, and includes open ended questions where you can write any additional thoughts you have. As a thanks for taking our survey we will give away two $25 bonuses. Those who complete the survey by Jan. 30th will be entered into the drawing to win.

Our ongoing goal at OneGreatFamily is to help members build their family tree as fast, as accurately, and as easily as possible. Whether they are a seasoned genealogist or a beginner just starting to find their family's place in history, we can help them build their family tree. The most important things we hope to accomplish with this new site are to better explain what OneGreatFamily is, how we can help build their genealogy, and how our site differs from other genealogy sites. We appreciate any input you can give to us regarding whether or not you feel we achieve this goal with the new site.

Thank you in advance for your time in looking at the site and providing us with feedback.

See How OneGreatFamily Works

Our recently created demos walk you through OneGreatFamily.

OneGreatFamily is a very unique genealogy service. No other website today does what OneGreatFamily does.

But many site visitors have given us feedback that our website has not effectively explained this uniqueness. Other sites often say things that make them seem similar to OneGreatFamily.

So in the new website design, we have incorporated a series of videos that quickly highlight the unique aspects of OneGreatFamily. This month we are spotlighting our introductory video, which is designed to give a very high level overview of OneGreatFamily. It is short--only about 30 seconds.

As an affiliate it's a real smart idea to learn as much about the product you are promoting as possible. And like I always say - testimonials get the highest conversion rate out of any other advertising method. Try OneGreatFamily out so you can share with your visitors how unique it really is.

Affiliate Tip: Testimonials as Text Links

By Shawn Collins, AffiliateTip.com

One of the most effective advertisements for a product or service can be a customer testimonial or a review from an objective source. With all of the hyped up advertising copy out there, consumers are skeptical marketing efforts.

This can be difficult to overcome, but as an affiliate, your job is to pre-sell the offer and initiate the relationship of trust between the consumer and merchant. And a recommendation from a satisfied client or industry publication serves as a very persuasive sales tool.

The testimonial as affiliate text link provides tangible proof to your site visitors and newsletter readers that the company you are promoting is capable of doing what they boast about. This sort of creative can be as short as several words, or as long as a paragraph or full page.

You'll notice that most affiliate programs do not offer testimonials as affiliate text links, but that doesn't mean you can't use them. It's actually a good thing for you if they are not being offerred to all affiliates. Then, you can contact the affiliate manager and ask for permission to use customer testimonials as affiliate links yourself.
