On today's episode of The Art of Paid Traffic I’m really excited to welcome "the web psychologist", Nathalie Nahai.

Nathalie is the best-selling author of 'Webs of Influence, the Psychology of Online Persuasion', and I invited her on to the podcast to talk about how understanding some simple web psychology can go a long way in improving your online advertising efforts.

With a background in psychology, web design and digital strategy, Nathalie coined the term ‘web psychology’ in 2011, defining it as ‘the empirical study of how our online environments influence our attitudes and behaviors’.  Don't worry, we talk all about what this means during the episode.

Nathalie helps businesses apply scientific rigor to their website design and content marketing, and has worked with Fortune 500 companies, design agencies and SME’s (clients include Google, eBay and Unilever).

She also lectures internationally on the subject of web psychology, and writes for Marketing Week and Psychology Today.

On today's episode of The Art of Paid Traffic, Talia Wolf, founder and CEO Conversioner, joins me to talk about using emotional triggers and user behavior to grow your business.

This whole episode comes down to really understanding your customers or your target customers better so that you can appeal to them on an emotional level with email writing, ad copy, landing pages - basically how you communicate with them to sell your products or services.

Talia and I discuss how you might look at solving your customer's emotional needs and then using these triggers to split test different points in your sales funnel based.

When it comes to paid traffic, we talk a lot about not focusing on the features of what your service or product can do but rather focus on the benefits for your customer.

As you'll hear today with Talia, she talks about taking it beyond benefits and addressing the emotional needs of your customer that your product or service can solve.

In Today's Episode You'll Learn

  • The very first place someone should start with conversion and optimization
  • The importance of creating a hypothesis for your ad campaign when you first start out
  • How to use psychology for better conversions
  • Email marketing tips and strategies for increasing conversions
  • How someone might use this concept for their Facebook ads and other forms of paid traffic
  • Why we should all be split testing and how long we should let a split test run before making any determination about it
