Show Notes
Our guest for this episode is Alex Harris, Creative Director of Alex Designs, and he will guide us through the 123’s of conversion optimization. He will share to us today that discovering your correct customers, creating great products to solve their problems, and growing your wins over time can easily get your business where you want it to be.
Here are the highlights of my conversation with Alex:
- How losing his corporate job triggered the start of his own company, Alex Designs, which focuses on conversion optimization and is based in his forte: landing page design,
- A walk through on the conversion optimization process and the five steps involved in improving conversion rates:
o Discovery –discovering your market and how far you should niche or narrow down.
o Hypothesis – what experiments you want to try and ranking what is most beneficial.
o Execute – taking your hypothesis and implementing the test.
o Review – analyzing what wins and losses you have and taking the one that worked over to the next step.
o Scale – growing the element that’s working well and leveraging on it to grow your site.
- Making assumptions that people know what we are talking about and the typical mistakes that people make in their sites, and
- Why he started his own podcast and how it changed him.

This really is an inspiring story, Alex. And thank you for sharing your thoughts about conversion. This topic has always been interesting for me
Love the thoughts on target market and niche-ing down in the “Discovery” section. It’s so hard to know how far is too far and this episode was really helpful with that!
Great episode, took a lot of notes. I really enjoyed Alex’s story too. I can relate to a lot of it for sure! I really appreciated Alex’s take on niching and keywords. Good advice the whole episode.
Loving the 5 step process!! And, I love that it starts in the discovery. Thanks for the great episode!!
