Or maybe you&#8217;ve never even tried, just because the whole thing seems like more trouble than it&#8217;s worth.<\/p>\n<p>You know what? <strong>We used to feel the same way. <\/strong>Split-testing was cumbersome. It was confusing. And we didn&#8217;t really get a whole lot of benefit from it&#8230;at FIRST.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But then we figured out where we were going wrong, and everything changed.<\/strong> Suddenly our conversions were higher. Sales were going up. Our mailing lists &amp; revenue were both growing. So what changed? What did we do to turn things around?<\/p>\n<p><strong>We figured out the solutions to the 3 common problems that most everyone we talk to has had<\/strong> (maybe you have too?). Here&#8217;s what we discovered:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Problem 1: Not Knowing Where to Start<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you really look at your business, there are just TONS of things you can test. It&#8217;s easy to get distracted for weeks at a time and start testing the things that don&#8217;t really matter. And when that happens, you don&#8217;t get much benefit. Which makes split-testing seem like it&#8217;s not worth the trouble. If you want to get the most out of your split testing, then here&#8217;s what you need to do&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Focus on testing those factors that are going to have the <strong>BIGGEST impact <\/strong>on your conversion rates. Sure, it&#8217;s cool to discover something that will give your campaigns a 15% lift in conversions. But it&#8217;s much more profitable to focus on tests that can generate huge lifts\u2014we&#8217;re talking doubling or tripling your conversion rates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Problem 2: Split-Testing Requires Techie Skills<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A lot of marketers really excel at marketing, but the whole tech side of thing isn&#8217;t really their forte. Problem is, so many testing tools require you to install a script on your site, customize this script, and then jump through all sorts of technical hoops just to get one split-test off the ground.<\/p>\n<p>That may sound like a code geek&#8217;s dream. But for everyone else, it&#8217;s a nightmare. And it&#8217;s the kind of nightmare that can totally turn you off of the idea of split-testing altogether.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The good news is that there is now a solution to this big problem.<\/strong> And that solution is to use web-based testing software. When you use web-based tools (which we&#8217;ll tell you about one in just a few moments), you don&#8217;t need to download, install or customize anything.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You don&#8217;t need any techie skills. <\/strong>All you have to do is log into a dashboard, create your split-test, and you&#8217;re literally ready to go in just a few minutes with a few clicks of your mouse. It&#8217;s super easy! And finally&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Problem 3: Split Testing Practically Requires a PhD In Statistics<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Split-testing used to be really confusing.<\/strong> That&#8217;s because so many of the split-testing tools were designed for statisticians and uber-geeks. We mean these tools were being used by guys with pocket protectors whose sole job was to crunch numbers for a multi-million dollar enterprise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So the good news is that today&#8217;s tools, like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.internetmasterycenter.com\/products\/split-test-monkey.html\">Split Test Monkey<\/a>,<\/strong> are a huge improvement over those complex tools of yesterday. <strong>Split Test Monkey is powerful enough for big business, but easy enough to use for a complete beginner.<\/strong> And you don&#8217;t need to know a lick about statistics, because these tools do the number crunching for you.<\/p>\n<p>Today might be the day you finally see split testing as simple, quick and yes, even fun.
