Explore these Vital Secrets to Dramatically Boost Your Profits
So you want to start earning an income from the net? You have
your computer fired up ready to go, your website looks great but
now what. No visitors, no sales and no income. You will not get
visitors with your site just "sitting there". To get visitors to
you site you will need to market your website. The most
important ingredient to success however is persistency.
Don't give up. Just work at it. Over a period of time your
profits will increase.
The following items/examples although not in any particular
order will assist you with visitors, sales and income...
Advertise the product you're selling in your signature file. Use
an attention getting headline and a good reason for them to
visit your site.
Make sure your sig file doesn't go over 5 lines.
Example...See end of this article.
Utilize a simple form of viral marketing. Write or have someone
else write a small report with your ad included on it and allow
others to give it away. Allow people to reprint your articles on
their web site, in their e-zine, newsletter, magazine or ebooks.
Include your resource box and the option for article reprints at
the bottom of each article.
Example...This particular article.
Also check out... http://www.FreeViral.com/?r=69505 for another
viral marketing approach.
Let visitors download free software. It could be freeware,
shareware, demos etc. You could even turn part of your site into
a free software directory. If you created the software, include
your ad inside and let other people give it away.
Example...http://www.yourcashbox.com/bl3.html
Take risks to improve your business. Some businesses don't want
to advertise unless it's free. At times you will have to spend
money to get results and you generally get better results with
paid advertising.
Invest a percentage of your profits right back into your
business. Spend it on marketing, product improvement, customer
service, advertising, etc.
Include emotional words in your advertisements. Use ones like
love, security, relief, freedom, happy, satisfaction, fun, etc.

website, adverts, e-mails etc. check out...

Allow your visitors experience to be an enjoyable one at your
web site. Provide easy navigation, good content, fast loading
graphics, search options, etc. Ask your customers what they
would like to see offered by your business in the future. This
type of information can boost your sales.
Ask them to review your web site. You can use the comments you
get to improve your site or you may turn the reviewer into a
customer.
Keep changing or adding freebies to your web site. If people see
the same freebie in your ads they will say to themselves, "been
there done that".
Add a directory to your web site. When visitors submit their web
site, e-mail them confirming their link has been added and
remind them to revisit. Trade links only with web sites that
your target audience or you would visit. They should offer their
visitors valuable content or freebies.
Market your products or services to your target audience. For
example, don't try to sell a football in a cooking magazine.
Organize your marketing and advertising into a plan. Create a
list of daily, weekly, monthly and all other future promotional
plans.
Give people the option of buying other products or add on
products when they decide to buy your main product or service at
the point of sale.
Up sell to your customers. When
they're at your order page, tell
them about a few extra related products you have for sale. They
could just add it to their original order.
When you make your first sale, follow-up with a "thank you"
email and include an advertisement for other products you sell.
Give your customers the option of joining an affiliate program
so they can make commissions selling your product. This will
multiply the sale you just made.
When you ship out or deliver your product, include details of
other related products you sell. This will attract them to buy
more products from you.
Give your customers a surprise bonus for buying. When you give
customers more than they expect, there is a good chance they
will buy from you again.
Follow-up all your prospects, and current customers on a regular
basis. When people see your ad more than once, they are more
likely to buy.
Think of new ways to attract people to buy your products or
services. You could add on extra free bonuses, delivery options,
payments options, etc.
Learn sales ideas from reading and studying other business'
advertising and marketing material. It could be ads, brochures,
tv ads, sales letters, etc. Educate yourself with new strategies
to increase your sales. You could take classes, subscribe to
e-zines and magazines, read books or ebooks, etc.
Example...http://myss.sitesell.com/your-moneybox.html
Participate in chat rooms related to the product you're selling.
Start a conversation with a person without trying to sell to
them. Later on, while you are chatting, mention the product
you're selling.
Create a free ebook with the advertisement and link of your
affiliate web site. The subject of the free ebook should draw
your target audience to down- load it. Also submit it to some
ebook directories.
Example...http://www.yourcashbox.com/downloads/An Expose_2.pdf
Start your own affiliate program directory. Join a large number
of affiliate programs and list them all in a directory format on
your web site. Then just advertise your free affiliate program
directory.
Write your own affiliate program ads. If all the other
affiliates use the same ads you do, that does not give you an
edge over your competition. Use a different ad to give yourself
an advantage over all the other affiliates. Make it reflect your
personality and then you have something unique even though the
actual products may be the same.
Separate yourself from "the crowd", be different, offer more
than the others and people will buy from you.
Use a personal endorsement ad. Only use one if you've actually
bought the product or service for the affiliate program. Tell
people what kind of benefits and results you've received using
the product.
Create a free ezine. Use your ezine to advertise the affiliate
programs you've joined. Submit your ezine to online ezine
directories and promote it on your web site.
Most of all however Remember Persistency Pays.
