Do you think like a surfer?
When you are putting out a program / site / paysite etc... Do you try and think like a surfer to maximize your product, or do you just assume that you already know what the surfer wants as to not spend any more time on it than necessary?

If you do not know your market you will more than likely fail or be a lot less successful than you could have been.

That's really where I am headed...Because I have seen a lot of site/programs etc...that really don't take the surfer into consideration at all, and was just wondering why.

I think it's one of the main reasons that most conversion ratios are so shitty, because the surfer isn't appreciated enough. |

I allways try to think a surfer... Even in so far as using standard ie 7 with no add ons etc... Just as 'most' surfers will...
You have to see your site through thier eyes. Ask yourself, if YOU were a surfer... Would YOU join? If the answers no... Then you need to rethink your sites... |

Ok...something else to ask yourselves...
Do you actually get input from your surfers? And if you do, do you apply it to your business? |

I always choose niches that I enjoy myself, so if I think a girl is hot, I assume my surfers do as well. And with a strong marketing background the first thing you learn in marketing is to think like the customer, not the seller.

If you're trying to sell something it helps if you can think like the buyer.
