Как найти майнер на компьютере и удалить его

Для этого есть программа Autoruns, которую тоже можно скачать с сайта Microsoft. Обратите внимание на процессы, потребляющие слишком много ресурсов. Надо проверить, в какой папке они находятся, как запускаются, с какими сетевыми адресами проводят соединение. Для этого удобно использовать утилиту Process Monitor, которую можно скачать с сайта Microsoft. Вручную, без каких-либо сторонних инструментов удаление вируса также возможно, но вы должны быть на 100% уверены, что обнаружили именно майнер.

  1. Продолжительность в режиме поиска вирусов зависит от количества файлов на дисках, а также от скорости дисковой подсистемы.
  2. Чтобы понять результат, нужно будет снова проследить за вычислительной нагрузкой на комплектующие компьютера через диспетчер задач.
  3. Это значит, что майнер априори не сможет майнить только потому, что ему запретили общаться с сетью.
  4. При этом удаления майнинг-вируса не происходит, но он не сможет полноценно работать.
  5. Если вы стали замечать, что компьютер стал изрядно тормозить и греться, в первую очередь стоит запустить проверку антивирусом со свежими базами.
  6. Эту процедуру желательно производить с некоторой периодичностью, даже если уверены в отсутствии программ майнеров, для поиска троянов и шпионских модулей на компьютере.

В таблице ниже представлены 3 наиболее популярных софта, которые позволят пользователю найти и удалить скрытый вирус-майнер на своем ПК. Часть злоумышленников специально разрабатывает веб-сервисы для добычи криптовалют на компьютерах интернет-пользователей. Мошеннические сайты автоматически запускают майнинг при посещениях. Для мониторинга процессов нужно запустить программу и не совершать никаких действий. Если в ПО появится активность, которая сильно нагружает CPU или GPU, потребуется вычислить ее происхождение. Обнаружить ПО могут антивирусы с обновленными базами данных.

К примеру, Dr.Web CureIt, Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool или Junkware Removal Tool. И вот, наконец, мы подобрались к самому главному – как удалить майнер. Как было упомянуто выше, для начала, вам нужно обзавестись необходимой антивирусной программой. С помощью неё нужно будет просканировать компьютер и выявить этот троян. После того как он будет выявлен – его необходимо удалить.

Но удачным такое решение не назовешь — это мешает полноценной работе всех сайтов, которые вы посещаете, блокируя часть контента на них, а некоторые ресурсы и вовсе перестают загружаться. Но понять, что заражение майнером уже произошло, это не значит найти его. Это лишь косвенный признак, который должен побудить вас провести тщательную проверку вашего компьютера на вирусы. И лучше всего это сделать с помощью специализированного софта.

Если раньше вирусы были нацелены на вымогательство денег или воровство данных, то теперь они помогают злоумышленникам сделать из чужого ПК буквально «дойную корову» для майнинга. Почему бы им не делать этого на собственных ПК, — чтобы «намайнить» больше криптовалют, необходимы значительные ресурсы, большое количество «железа». Полагаться исключительно на встроенный антивирус операционной системы не стоит. Будет лучше, если дополнительно вы запустите сканирование сторонним софтом или даже утилитой типа Dr.Web. Чем антивирус эффективнее, тем выше вероятность обнаружить скрытые угрозы.

Скрытый майнер криптовалюты – повсеместно распространяющаяся беда, масштабы которой растут с каждым днем. Зловредное выращивание биткоинов растёт даже быстрее его курса, но в Интернете существует только масса разрозненной информации по поводу того, как удалить скрытый майнер. Другие, более продвинутые пользователи, используют AdBlock и ему подобный софт для блокировки известных скриптов-майнеров. Проблема в том, что новые майнеры появляются довольно часто, и простым пользователям сложно следить за этим, постоянно обновляя настройки AdBlock. Поэтому куда эффективнее использовать для борьбы с ними специализированные расширения браузеров. Для борьбы с такими майнерами некоторые пользователи полностью блокируют работу JavaScript в браузерах.

Находим скрытый майнер на компьютере. Шаг первый: понимаем принцип работы.

Следите за работой своего устройства и обращайте внимание
на
предупреждающие сигналы. Киберпреступники, создающие вирусы для майнинга криптовалют, действуют с целью наживы. Чтобы майнинг таких
прибыльных
криптовалют, как биткоин, стал прибыльным, требуется мощное и дорогое оборудование для майнинга ASIC.

Как распознать вирус майнер

В таблице ниже представлены 3 наиболее популярных софта, позволяющих пользователю найти и удалить скрытый вирус-майнер на своем ПК. Как только вы
видите
угрозу для вашего компьютера необходима полная проверка устройства антивирусом. Специальное приложение Anti-WebMiner работает с файлами hosts, криптовалюта ethereum блокируя различные сценарии веб-майнинга. Если к домену обращаются такие скрипты, оно перенаправляет их. Когда программа закрывается, изменения удаляются, возвращая состояние файлов к изначальному. Как правило, у такой программы только одна функция – использовать ПК для майнинга криптовалюты.

Открывать файлы с расширением exe необходимо только при полной уверенности в их происхождении и безопасности. Стоит ли говорить, что пиратское программное обеспечение с торрентов – это кандидаты на обеспечение ПК вирусом-майнером № 1. Впрочем, нет нужды заниматься борьбой с вирусами-майнерами вручную, с ними прекрасно справляются антивирусы. Все указанные выше показатели удобно сортируются от большего к меньшему в виде таблицы и позволяют зафиксировать вредоносное ПО и избавиться от него в дальнейшем. Незнакомые процессы (не игры и не ваши программы), которые явно слишком сильно «кушают ресурсы ПК», скорее всего, окажутся вирусами или майнерами.

Как обнаружить вирус

С другой стороны такой метод может вызвать проблемы в запуске сценариев на страницах, а некоторые сайты и вовсе могут не открываться. С помощью этого многофункционального диспетчера процессов удаётся довольно https://cryptocat.org/ быстро и легко найти все скрытые вирусы и майнеры. Нужно лишь правильно воспользоваться предлагаемыми возможностями. Догадаться и как-то понять, что вы зашли на подобный сайт, довольно просто.

Как найти и удалить скрытый вирус-майнер

Чаще всего поймать скрытый майнер можно при скачивании файлов из непроверенных источников. Обычно это какой-то пиратский контент, который пользуется большой популярностью среди пользователей. Также наткнуться на подобный вирус можно при получении различных спам-рассылок. В любом варианте вы получаете желаемое, а вместе с этим на ваш компьютер может быть загружен скрытый майнер или утилита для его автоматического скачивания из Сети. В файле hosts скрытый майнер обычно прописывает путь до своей фермы, поэтому вам нужно удалить все подозрительные IP-адреса. На примере ниже цветным выделение обозначено место, где добытчик биткоинов указал сетевой путь.

Более тщательно проверить автозагрузку можно с помощью бесплатной программы AnVir Task Manager. Она ищет и проверяет задачи, которые запускаются автоматически. Он устанавливается незаметно, против желания пользователя.

Где безопасно купить криптовалюту? ТОП-5 бирж

Чтобы воспользоваться программой, необходимо загрузить исполняемый файл с официального сайта и запустить. Некоторые майнеры способны самостоятельно отключать «Диспетчер задач» через несколько минут после его запуска — это тоже признак потенциальной угрозы. Следующую пачку процентов заражения удаляем с помощью анти-руткита TDSSKiller. Эта программа от Касперского чистит все действительно скрытые от глаз пользователя процессы. Если вы подозреваете какой-то конкретный файл, то проверьте его онлайн-антивирусом.

В том числе, вредоносных, которые не просто занимают место в системе, но также активно используют его аппаратные ресурсы в корыстных целях. Многие скрытые майнеры, использующие в основном видеокарту ПК, могут не нагружать центральный процессор, а значит, и в «Диспетчере задач» на старых версиях Windows они не засветятся. Именно поэтому лучше оценивать нагрузку на «железо» с помощью специализированных утилит, таких как AnVir Task Manager или Process Explorer. Они покажут куда больше стандартного инструмента Windows.

Там необходимо произвести обновление и запустить «Исследование системы». На выходе вы получите avz_sysinfo.htm файл, с которым можно идти на форум и просить помощи специалистов. Возможно, вы получите скрипт, который выполняется через ту же AVZ и тем самым решить проблему. Также поможет обычная переустановка операционной системы. Такие вирусы называют троянскими конями — в честь одноименного «подарка» враждующих с Троей ахейцев. Криптовалютная лихорадка стала настоящей проблемой для пользователей компьютеров.

Другое дело, если сайт скрывает майнерскую деятельность и использует мощность процессора или видеокарты без предупреждения. Как правило, такие ресурсы пользуются аппаратными возможностями компьютера недобросовестно — вместо 10–20% компьютерного времени они занимают все 100%. Поймать такую «пулю» в интернете легко — как правило, это сайты с огромным количеством рекламы, а также контента типа «майнинг бесплатно и без смс». К троянскому сорту компьютерных вирусов также относятся и майнеры. В отличие от классических троянов, новые зловреды рассчитаны на распространение среди систем частных пользователей — им не нужна информация, пароли и данные кредитных карт.

Ruby Rough Raw, Uncut Ruby Gemstones

A 1 carat Burmese ruby from Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) will command prices more expensive than a 1 carat diamond because of its color and scarcity. Diamonds require top quality in all 4cs (Cut, Clarity, Color, and Carat). A ruby’s value is generally determined by color and carat weight or size. But, if it’s eye clean of inclusions, it’ll be valued even more.

Metamorphosed crystalline limestones and dolomites, as well as other metamorphic rock types such as gneiss and schist. Gems sold as “Serengeti Rubies,” “River best mt4 forex brokers 2021 metatrader 4 brokers top 10 list Rubies,” and “Cape Rubies” may not be actual rubies. Learn more about these misleading names here and consult our List of False or Misleading Gemstone Names.

  • Not only is the color and clarity important, but the cut and origins come into play.
  • All of Blue Nile’s ruby jewelry will be set in various color golds or platinum.
  • However, prices can vary widely depending on factors such as carat weight, cut, and clarity, as well as market demand and availability.
  • For those seeking to make a bold statement or commemorate a special moment, ruby gemstone jewelry is the perfect choice.
  • Finally, like with all gemstones, the carat weight of a ruby plays a role in its value, with a larger ruby commanding a higher value than a smaller one.

The ruby is heated to temperatures up to 1800 degrees Fahrenheit, with the heat livening up the color of the stone. This treatment does not have a negative effect on the durability or value of the stone and is widely accepted in the market. The GIA states that you should assume your ruby is heat treated as this is a common industry practice. It does not bring down the value of the stone but rubies with a report that state that there is no evidence of heat are very rare and therefore very expensive. Rubies with pinkish or purplish tones are valued less than the purer colored rubies.

Beginner’s Guide to Buying a Ruby Gemstone

Step cut rubies may not sparkle like those with brilliant cuts, but in exchange, they offer broad, uninterrupted expanses of color. Step cuts are usually reserved for highly transparent ruby rough with outstanding color. While the glitter of a brilliant cut can obscure unsightly inclusions, a step cut will only emphasize the shortcomings of a lesser stone. In general, buying a ruby engagement ring is a fairly simple process. Since clarity isn’t as much of a factor as it is with a diamond, you don’t need to worry too much about inclusions.

  • The value that a ruby can command will be greater as the clarity of the stone increases.
  • Darker rubies that are almost opaque aren’t going to reveal inclusions like a high quality transparent ruby will.
  • Also, don’t forget to ask whether the ruby you are buying is natural or artificially created.
  • Today most rubies are heat-treated to improve color and clarity, but rubies that are not and have superb quality can fetch big money at market.

Rubies do not react much to light, changes in temperature, and various chemicals. This makes ruby jewelry ideal for frequent use and for pieces that are more susceptible to damage, like ruby rings and bracelets. However, if like me you are always looking to get more carats per dollar, then you’ll surely find a great option at James Allen.

How To Choose The Perfect Jewellery Christmas Gift

Other ruby simulants could be red spinel, dyed glass, and even garnet are passed off as rubies. If you want to add more sparkle to your ruby, you can opt for jewelry that also showcases colorless diamonds, such as halo settings. This brings an added sparkle and glamor to the piece and brings out the ruby’s color even more. Rubies larger than this are incredibly rare and would therefore be very expensive.

Ask About the Rubies’ Origins

But if it really concerns you, a place like Brilliant Earth that sells lab created rubies might be up your alley. Or even natural ones that tell you which country they come from. Ruby is desired to be in brilliant cuts like round brilliants, and cushion cuts, which maximize the amount of light through the stone. Step cuts like Asschers and emerald cuts are also great for rubies. Being a popular red gemstone, rubies are not going to be as expensive as diamond, usually. A 1 carat ruby center stone will probably be less than a 1 carat diamond.

Different Basic Hues

Too dark will affect the ruby’s brightness and too light can make the ruby appear pink. The hue is the actual color of the gem as well as any underlying color – too much orange or too much purple can devalue a ruby. Rubies can be transparent and clean looking (with inclusions difficult to find even with magnification), but these are few and far between.

For rubies, the ideal shape is the flat, hexagonal tablets on the right. Very high-end rubies can be far more expensive — in some cases, either as expensive or more expensive than diamonds of the same size. For example, this stunning Pigeon Blood ruby from Mozambique from Leibish & Co. costs more than $95,000. When buying ruby, it is best if the stone comes with a certificate that proves its authenticity and origin.

Our ruby pricing guide will give you all the insights you need about these dazzling gemstones. A ruby gemstone is a precious stone that is typically red and is part of the corundum mineral family. It is valued for its deep red color, which is caused by the presence of the element chromium. Many jewelry stores carry ruby gemstones, both loose and in finished jewelry pieces.

“This uptick in CPI is a critical reminder of the unpredictable nature of economic recovery and the murkiness of the macro-economic data,” said Jon Maier, chief investment officer at Global X. “Markets may need to brace for potential volatility, as the Fed could maintain or potentially intensify its restrictive monetary policy stance in response to these inflationary pressures.” Other factors that can influence CPI include changes in government policies, such as changes in tax rates or trade policies, as well as global events such as natural disasters or geopolitical instability.

  1. In conclusion, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a powerful tool for traders and investors to monitor inflation rates in an economy.
  2. By considering the impact of CPI on currency movements, traders can make more informed decisions and increase their chances of success in the forex market.
  3. By using these resources alongside a sound trading plan you can take advantage of market movements influenced by changes in CPI data.
  4. This occurs because central banks often take measures such as raising interest rates or tightening monetary policy when faced with higher inflation levels.
  5. All else being equal when the Federal Reserve attempts to lower the CPI, it runs the risk of unintentionally increasing unemployment rates.
  6. Inflation tracked through CPI looks specifically at purchasing power and the rise of prices of goods and services in an economy, which can be used to influence a nation’s monetary policy.

It is among the most common measures of inflation, indicating the health and direction of the economy. It also serves in other capacities, notably to help make adjustments to certain income payments, such as Social Security and pensions for federal civil service retirees. It is essential for traders to stay updated on market conditions and continuously monitor CPI releases and their impact on currency movements.

As a result, the labor market strengthened and returned to pre-pandemic rates by March 2022; however, this stimulus has resulted in the highest CPI calculations in decades. The table below represents the CPI basket weighted distribution for food, energy, and all other items. Then, the BLS uses the current year’s CPI and the prior year’s CPI to calculate the inflation rate. The first is used to determine the current cost of the weighted-average basket of products, while the second is used to analyze the year-over-year change. Peter Westfall is a distinguished professor of information systems and quantitative sciences at Texas Tech University.

What to consider when trading forex against CPI data

CPI-U is the basis of the widely reported CPI numbers that matter to financial markets.The BLS also publishes the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W). The CPI-W covers 29% of the U.S. population living in households with income derived predominantly from clerical employment or jobs with an hourly wage. This market commentary and analysis has been prepared for ATFX by a third party for general information purposes only. You should therefore seek independent advice before making any investment decisions.

“The global currency objective that some people have is still as far ahead of them as it was before.” Opening the door for bitcoin spot ETFs is a “monumental” development for the cryptocurrency but is still a long way from its proponents goals, economist Mohamed El-Erian said Thursday. For instance, the Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed the US Consumer Price Index (Inflation Rate) on July 13. Traders compare the forecast with the actual CPI data, which you can check in the economic calendar.

Limitations And Criticisms Of CPI In Trading

Additionally, keeping abreast of central bank decisions and policy shifts can provide further context for interpreting CPI data in the Forex market. Nonetheless, it’s imperative to underscore that the CPI shouldn’t stand alone in the trader’s toolkit. Like an orchestra harmonizing its instruments, traders should orchestrate their analysis by considering CPI data alongside a symphony of other economic indicators. These include the crescendos of GDP growth, the harmonies of employment rates, and the sotto voce policies of central banks.

For example, if a consumer switches from purchasing expensive name brand products to cheaper generic options, the CPI may not fully capture this change in behaviour. This can help traders make informed decisions about which industries or sectors may be more profitable to invest in or trade within. For example, if there is a higher CPI but a lower PPI, it could indicate that consumers are paying more for goods and services while businesses are not experiencing as much inflation in their input costs. It’s important for traders to keep an eye on both the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the Producer Price Index (PPI). While the CPI measures price changes from the perspective of buyers, the PPI looks at prices from a seller’s viewpoint. The release and revision of CPI figures can produce swings in a currency’s value against other currencies, meaning potentially favorable volatility from which skilled traders can benefit.

What is Forex Training Explained: Master Currency Trading

This notion is also widely attributable to individuals with varying degrees of income. For example, lower-income individuals who contribute more gross income towards necessities of shelter and food will skew differently than households with larger disposable income. For this reason, the CPI may not adequately reflect each individual’s experience about costs and changes over time. Critics claim that adjustments for changes in product quality and features understate the CPI.

Higher CPI can lead to currency depreciation, while lower CPI can result in currency appreciation. Forex traders should closely monitor CPI releases and analyze the data to identify potential trading opportunities. CPI is particularly useful for Forex traders because it affects monetary policy and interest rates, which directly impact currency strength.

The Relevance Of CPI In Trading

Since energy and food prices are volatile and heavily influenced by political headlines, economists prefer a more stable consumer basket to get a better understanding of the market. South Korea’s central bank held rates at 3.50%, in line with expectations of economists polled by Reuters. https://broker-review.org/ Investors now await Governor Rhee Chang-yong’s news conference at around 1110 Korea time. Elsewhere in Thursday’s market, bitcoin ETFs rose on their first day of trading as crypto prices also edged up. Bitcoin briefly hit the $49,000 mark earlier Thursday before falling to above $46,000.

In Forex trading, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) plays a crucial role in determining currency movements. Traders closely monitor CPI releases to gain insights into the level of inflation in an economy and its potential impact on currency values. Higher CPI readings often lead to currency depreciation, while lower CPI readings can result in currency appreciation. Understanding how CPI influences currency movements can help traders make more informed trading decisions.

Besides, there are other indicators of inflation such as Producer Price Index (PPI), Wholesale Price Index (WPI), Retail Price Index (RPI). It is important to remember that while CPI data may be valuable, kvb forex it should not be viewed as the only economic indicator worth monitoring. It’s important to note the differences between the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) when trading.

CPI and Currency Movements – A Case Study

It’s important to keep an eye on market expectations vs. actual CPI data and adjust positions accordingly. For example, if the US CPI report indicates unexpectedly high inflation levels, traders may expect the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates soon. This blog post will demystify the concept of CPI in trading by explaining its definition, calculation methods, and relevance in making informed trading decisions. Additionally, we’ll delve into factors to consider when trading with CPI data and compare it to other key indicators such as the Producer Price Index (PPI). The Consumer Price Index, better known by the acronym CPI, is an important economic indicator released on a regular basis by major economies to give a timely glimpse into current growth and inflation levels. It’s important to note that there is also seasonally adjusted data included in the CPI.

4 Things You Need For Your Website Business

The importance of your own website for your business is essential

Apart from the fact that having a website gives your business the credibility it deserves, it also allows you to effectively market your products or services to your target audience.

Before you decide on owning, building or designing a website for your business, here are some of the most important things that need to be in place:

1.    What is a Domain Name?

Simply put, a domain name is your website name.

This is the address internet users have to put in their web browsers before they can access your website.

Most domain names contain only letters, but a domain name can actually be a combination of letters and numbers. For example, 37Signals.com or bet365.com.

Before purchasing a domain name for your business, think of names that are short, easy to remember, and easy to spell.  Feel free to use any of the various domain name extensions available, such as .com, .ng, .com.ng, .net, .org, .biz, etc.

A domain name must be registered before it can be used. You also need to renew your domain name regularly.

Every domain name is unique i.e. no two websites can have the same domain name. If anyone types your domain into their browser, it should take them to your website and no one else’s.

2. What is Web Hosting?

Web hosting services work by storing your website files in high-powered computers (web servers) connected to a very fast network.

When internet users want to view your website, all they need to do is to type your domain name into their browsers. This will allow their computers connect to your server and your web pages will be delivered to them through their browser.

For example, when you register your business name with Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) – this is likened to registering a domain name– you need to acquire an office or shop space where people can come to purchase your goods and services–this is likened to hosting.

That is exactly how domain name registration and hosting works; the web host is where you store the information you want people to see on your website.

3. What is a Logo?

A logo is a design used by organizations or individuals for identity. Your logo communicates ownership.

It tells the world and potential customers who you are and/or the type of products or services that you offer.

Why do I need a Logo?
It attracts new customers

People are drawn to interesting designs and colours. Your logo should be designed to draw attention and capture the curiosity of your potential customers.

It should at least prompt them to look, and hopefully, buy your products or services.

It separates you from the competition

A good logo should dare you to be different because it reflects who you are. It should also separate you from everybody else.

It aids brand loyalty

A recognizable and familiar logo goes a long way in fostering brand loyalty.

Developing a logo that represents your services, values, and business personality is crucial.

From business cards and storefront signage to email communications and display advertisements, your logo can speak for your business when you can’t, or when words aren’t enough.

It can be everywhere

Your logo can be used on your website and also as the display picture on your social media accounts. It is a way of advertising your brand and your message consistently.

If you develop your brand message and successfully tie it to your logo, everything you do and create will automatically become associated with your brand and logo.

4. Website content

These are basically the words, images, files, videos, etc. you want on your website. As simple as this seems, it is imperative to the outcome of your website design.

Most agencies follow the same process when it comes to content: the client (you) supplies the content, then the agency (or web designer) builds the website around the content provided.

In conclusion…

In this article, we have shown you the four (4) critical elements you need to have before starting a website design project.

5 Way To Convert Website Commentators To Potential Customers

However, a website visits is a good thing, it’s definitely not the ultimate goal. You want visitors to your website to perform an action that will convert them to leads. It’s the leads you will follow up with till they end up as paying customers.
Now how do you achieve this? Do you have a strategy that converts visitors to leads?

This is what we’ll will be discussing in this article. By the end, you’ll know the various strategies you can use to convert website visitors to leads. Let’s dive right in!

Contents:

  • 1. Lead Magnet
  • 2. Landing Page
    • What’s a Landing Page?
    • How Is It Different From A Home Page?
    • 7 Landing Page Tips for Higher Conversion Rate
  • 3. Opt-in Form
  • 4. Live Chat
  • 5. Call To Action (CTA)
    • Examples of Call To Action
    • Qualities of A Compelling Call To Action
  • In Conclusion

1. Lead Magnet

How many times have you dropped your information like name, email or phone number on a website in exchange for something valuable such as a free trial, an ebook, free product, checklist etc. All these are called lead magnets.

According to Investopedia,

A lead magnet is a marketing term for a free item or service that is given away for the purpose of gathering contact details; for example, lead magnets can be trial subscriptions, samples, white papers, e-newsletters, and free consultations.

Lead magnets are very effective in converting visitors to leads. However, for you to have a high visitor-lead conversion rate, you must ensure that your lead magnet is:

  • Specific: You have to create a lead magnet that will target a specific market. It’s better to have 1000 people who are ready to move further down your funnel than 10,000 people who couldn’t care less about your business.
  • Quickly Consumable: No one wants to read a 200-page ebook or a 20 days email course on digital marketing. They want something they can consume within a few minutes to hours. So when creating an ebook, make it short and straight to the point else, the purpose will be defeated.
  • Well Packaged: Even if the lead magnet is free, you still have to package it in a way that anybody who gets it will be grateful to get it for free.

Once the visitors enter their contact information in exchange for your lead magnet, it’s up to you to decide how you want to follow up with them.

 

2. Landing Page

Another effective way of converting website visitors to leads is through a landing page.

What’s a Landing Page?

Unbounce defines it as a standalone web page, created specifically for the purposes of a marketing or advertising campaign.

How Is It Different From A Home Page?

A landing page is different from a homepage in the sense that it contains a specific message, a form and a call to action button that directs visitors on the next step to take.

The main use of a landing page is to capture the details of visitors on your landing page.

A homepage contains different links that cater to the overall public and serves as a distraction which will definitely reduce your conversion rate.

A customer who is supposed to take an action on your homepage may click on a video or a link that redirects to another page. Chances are the visitor may never take that action again.

But with a landing page, the visitor has only one action to take which is usually clearly stated.

7 Landing Page Tips for Higher Conversion Rate

  • Your landing page should serve a single purpose and the message should be clearly stated.
  • Use videos. They improve conversion by 80%.
  • Make your call to action big, obvious and positioned in the center.
  • Ensure the content of the landing page matches the ad visitors clicked on.
  • Use arrows or photos of people pointing to your Call To Action button.
  • Add testimonials if you have any.
  • Lastly, A/B test, measure and optimize your landing page for better conversion rate.

 

3. Opt-in Form

When people visit your website, remember the goal is to get them to convert to leads. Whether it’s through a lead magnet or a landing page, the key to achieving this goal is with an opt-in form.

Bigcommerce defines opt-in form as

as a form of consent given by web users, acknowledging interest in a product or service and authorizing a third party to contact them with further information.

You need different elements that will draw the attention of visitors and increase conversions. You can A/B test to determine the one that has a higher conversion rate.

The length of the form will depend on your marketing objective. If you want to generate plenty of leads, then short forms work best. However, if you want a few but qualified leads, it’s better to use a longer form with specific fields.

Opt-in forms are basically for lead generation or newsletter subscriptions. But many brands use opt-in forms for various purposes such as discounts, coupon codes, webinar invites, exclusive contents, free trials, free shipping, free ebooks, etc.

As with lead magnets, when you offer visitors something of value in return for their contact information, they are more likely to fill a form. In other words, the best way to get them to convert is by offering valuable incentives no matter how little.

Exit intent opt-in forms are very good for generating leads. They increase conversions by 5-10% when used correctly.

They pop-up just when visitors are dragging their cursor toward the “close” button on their screens.

They are basically used to get newsletter signups, offer discounts or lead magnets.

As a beginner, there are a lot of things need to know about opt-in forms.

Read more here: Beginner’s Guide to Opt-in Forms

 

4. Live Chat

Another effective way of converting website visitors to leads is with live chats.

People will visit your website for various reasons. It makes so much sense to chat with them in real time and get them to take an action.

As a matter of fact, it can increase your website conversions by 45% because you are providing immediate assistance.

It allows you to build a personalized relationship with your website visitors.

5. Call To Action (CTA)

If you noticed, there are several mentions of CTA in this article. It’s so important it makes to our list.

Optimizely defines it as

A prompt on a website that tells the user to take some specified action. A call to action is typically written as a command, such as ‘Sign Up’ or ‘Buy Now’ and generally takes the form of a button or hyperlink.

When people visit your website, those who show a level of interest in your product or service wants to know the next step to take. If there is no clear CTA, they will leave your website never to return. A CTA makes it easy for visitors to move down the funnel by performing a particular action.

Examples of Call To Action

If you want people to sign up for your newsletter, the CTA will be

  • SIGN UP NOW
  • LEARN MORE
  • SUBSCRIBE NOW
  • GET FREE UPDATES

If you want them to download an ebook or checklist, the CTA will be

  • DOWNLOAD NOW
  • GET MY FREE EBOOK
  • SEND ME THE CHECKLIST

For an eCommerce store, the CTA will be

  • ADD TO CART
  • BUY NOW
  • ADD TO WISHLIST
  • CHECKOUT

The important thing is the user performs the desired action that will lead them further down the conversion funnel.

Qualities of A Compelling Call To Action

  • Visibility: It must be BIG, CLEAR and EASILY NOTICEABLE.
  • Design: It must have a separate colour from the rest of the content on your website or landing page.
  • Benefit: it must state what the user will get after clicking it.
  • Reasonable length: It mustn’t be too short or too long. For example, “Send My Checklist” is better than “Download”.

It’s best to A/B test your CTA to know which one generates more conversions. You can change the colour, text, number of words etc.

Different Method To Use For Payment For Your Online Store.

It’s always a good idea to give people options. In e-Commerce, especially in Nigeria, it’s very important to have multiple payment options for your online business. In this post, we will be sharing with you 4 standard payment methods that you can use for your e-commerce website.

  • 1. Bank Transfer
  • 2. Online (Card) Payment
  • 3. E-wallet
  • 4. Cash on Delivery

    1. Bank Transfer

    This is the most popular payment option in Nigeria.

    This payment option allows your customers to pay directly into your bank account after placing their orders.

    This payment method is especially useful for customers that aren’t comfortable paying with their cards.

    Bank transfer has also been made easy by banks – customers can easily transfer the money via USSD code or internet banking.

     

    2. Online (Card) Payment

    Businesses love this option!

    Instead of having to follow-up on customers that chose the ‘Bank transfer’ option, here, customers just complete the entire transaction online.

    Of course, for this to work, you must have at least one online payment gateway integrated on your website. There’s nothing wrong with having more than one.

     

    3. E-wallet

    This one isn’t so popular, but is very useful for both customers and business owners.

    An e-wallet enables customers have some funds stored in their ‘account’ on your website. Whenever they place an order, the cost is then simply deducted from their ‘wallet’.

    This option is convenient for customers that make a lot of repeat purchases in that they don’t have to make payments each time.

    For businesses, this is particularly useful for handling returns; instead of sending the money back, you can simply credit the customer’s wallet, so they can use in when next they order.

     

    4. Cash on Delivery

    Businesses do not like this option, but customers do!

    Cash on Delivery, as the name implies, means your customer will pay in cash (or with POS) when their orders have been delivered to them.

    They won’t be required to make payment on your website but in person.

    A lot of people aren’t comfortable shopping online because of internet frauds and scammers, so “cash on delivery” payment option is safer and secure as they get to see the products they ordered for before making payments.

    The drawback for businesses, however, is that even customers that aren’t ready to purchase use this option, causing waste of time (and money) for the business owner.

     

    In conclusion…

    We’ve shared the 4 standard payment methods you can consider for your online store.

    You can use one or more of these payment methods. We recommend you have at least two options. Simply determine the payment methods your customers prefer, and what works best for you as a business.
