			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last month I took one of my gardening niche reports and modified the way I was selling it.</p>
<p>First of all I took the first two chapters of the report and created a short 5 page guide which was packed with really useful tips and information.</p>
<p>I then modified the sales page by splitting it into two sections. At the end of the first section I offered the reader the first two chapters as a "Free, Try Before You Buy Trial" in exchange for their email address. The two free chapters were delivered as a link in an email <strong>after the reader had confirmed</strong> their subscription.</p>
<p>After confirming their subscription, the reader was redirected to the second section of the sales copy where I emphasized the benefits, provided testimonials as social proof, offered a "No Questions Asked" guarantee and closed the sale.</p>
<p>At the end of the guide containing the first two chapters there was also a link to section two of the sales letter. So that anyone who abandoned the sales letter to read the free content was encouraged to buy the full report.</p>
<p>I also put together a series of 17 short autoresponder messages, each containing a gardening tip which related to the report and provided a link back to the second section of the sales copy.</p>
<p>This approach was very successful and the sales conversion rate jumped from 2.3% to 3.4%.</p>
<p>I was then able to increase my overall profits by even more with one additional change...<span style="font-size:5px;">{+}</span><p style="background-color:#FFC;padding:3px;border:2px solid #FFCCCC;margin:0 0 5px;">The rest of this article is available to Premium Members only.<br /><a href="/become-a-premium-member/ "><b>Become a Premium Member</a> Right Now For Only $14.97</b><br>Grab Your Premium Membership Immediately And Beat The Price Increase!</p>
