I have my blog roll on my homepage and it doesn't show any images how can I change that? I have images in the posts.
Hey Peter you have to place images in your feature section of your post. Then your images will show up in your blog roll
You write "You only have a second to capture your visitor attention and make an impression". I had a look at your link. Wonder how you would drive traffic to it, how you expect to have visitors. There is no way to do this by organic traffic. Paid traffic?
I was commenting because I was curious, not for "likes". So I am still curious how you drive traffic to such a landing page.
You do not pay for actual traffic. You do, however, sign up on a Website that gives you traffic for a price.
I recommend it highly. There is one for about $ 20.00. You can have the traffic, but there is no guarantee for visitors to buy.
Do you know Robert Allan? He has helped a lot of people here on WA and is trustworthy.
Here is a link from Robert that will get you visitors to your site.
This is what you call "paid traffic".

So you suggest a home page to be different than the actual blog page. My site is set to static home page.
To improve it should I set it to home and make a home page like you say above?
Does this make sense?

My video is a little long, but it is the kind that can be left at whatever point the visitors wants.
I am going to delete some on my homepage and add other things you recommended.
I like the navigation and the contact number. I assume it is the email we have on our site. Or should we give our personal email?
I also want to add the testimonies.
Thanks for your advice on the homepage.
