Whether we like to admit it or not, communication really is a two-way street. People don’t browse the web just to get information (a popular case for selling ebooks), but they want to get information from people. Successful people, smart people, people who are “in the loop”, people who can help them make their lives better.
One of the best ways to increase your sales and the number of people who actively seek you out to do business with you, is to put a “human twist” to your marketing through Gravatar.
WordPress Custom Avatars Plugin
For many people, blog avatar plugins like Wavatar, Identicon and MonsterID are all they have to choose from in addition to the widely supported Gravatar. But what if stick figure monsters and unusual shape faces or quilt pattern icons just aren’t your style?
Enter iElectrify’s custom avatars plugin for WordPress (2.5 and above). With this plugin, you’ll be able to upload any number of icons to your blog and have them appear next to the post of anyone who leaves a comment, only if they don’t have a Gravatar enabled. The end result? Your blog stays stylish while your visitors get unique avatars for each comment.
To install it, simply open the zip file and follow the easy installation instructions. To find beautiful themed icons (most of which are free for personal and commercial use), check out iconfinder.net. Enjoy!
