10 Tips To Propel Visitors To Your Order Page

2008-10-14T06:54:00.000-07:00

1. Write your ad copy like you're talking directly
to your visitors. Use the words "you", "your", and
"you're" a lot in your ad copy.

2. Visit business discussion boards regularly. You
could discover helpful advice, online resources and
give your own two cents worth.

3. Gain free advertising by listing your business info
in your chat room profile. Most chat rooms allow
this, but check their rules to be sure.

4. Let people know about your affiliate program.
Submit it to numerous affiliate program directories,
announce it in your e-zine, put it in your sig file, etc.

5. Tell your visitors exactly what you want them to
do at your web site. You may want them to order
products, subscribe to your ezine, etc.

6. Focus your site on your visitor's desires, not on
yourself. They want to know what's in it for them,
not that you won an award for your business.

7. Try not to get caught up in loading your site with
technological gizmos and gadgets. Concentrate on
your words, they will do the actual selling.

8. Create your own ad copy; don't copy the basic
run of the mill ad copy. Don't be afraid of trying
something different to increase your sales.

9. Change you ads regularly. Your prospects can
get bored seeing the same ad all the time. They
usually see the ad 7 times before they actually buy.

10. Lower your negative word of mouth marketing.
You'll always have customers that are dissatisfied.
Try to please them as much as possible.

4. Carry business cards with you wherever you go.
Have your web address printed on them. You can

5. Contact national radio stations to ask them if they
are looking for guest speakers. Tell them your area
of expertise; maybe they'll book you for a show.

6. Join clubs related to your area of business. You
could trade leads with other businesses. Learn new
ways to run your business and sell your products.

7. Think of a domain name for your web site that's
easy to remember. If you can't find a good one left,
use your actual birth name.

8. Position your web site at the top of pay-per-click
search engines. You will only pay your set amount
for each clickthrough you get to your web site.

9. Allow your visitors or customers to increase your
traffic or sales. Ask them how you can improve your
business, web site or product.

mind needs time away from your business life. This
will help your brain think clearly while working.

8. Create and follow short/long term goals for your
business. The short goals can create early success
and the long term goals can create future success.

9. Look for different ways to prove your business
and products to your audience. You could collect
testimonials, hold surveys, do scientific tests, etc.

10. Try new business ideas and strategies. Do not
be afraid of changing what you're doing. You could
try out technology, advertising, marketing, etc.

SEO - Using Pings To Improve Your Blog Search Engine Rankings

SEO - Using Pings To Improve Your Blog Search Engine Rankings
By: Chris Angus

If you have a blog then you should definitely search engine optimize it by adding pings. If you are familiar with the way search engines rank web pages then you probably know by now that the more links that are indexed on your blog entry the higher your page rankings will be in the search engine ranking. This is especially true if the links that are indexed relate directly to the subject of your blog. This is valuable to remember and employ as an SEO (search engine optimization) strategy.

So what exactly is a “ping?” Each time you update your blog your site can be automatically updated with links to related material by an RSS feed. This process is facilitated through search engine spiders, blogging trackers and tagging programs that deliberately seek out updated blog material and try to link to it. Once they find your fresh content, your indexed links are fattened by the addition of links to similar information on the net. When the search engine spiders crawl your pages, you are boosted by these pings which brings you more readers, more people clicking on your links and of course, more popularity.

Most blogging templates now come with the option to allow you to add pings. If you say yes then tons of related links to other sites will automatically be indexed as material on your blog. Usually a site is pinged in about two days. This is one very simple form of SEO (search engine optimization) for smart affiliate marketer to quickly) and easily bring hundreds of targeted potential customers within reach of clicking on the links in your blog.

Of course if you have a service or a product that is like a double entendre such as “spider” which can mean search engine spider or the biological form of life, you might not want pings added to your blog articles as they could bring you the wrong type of reader. Most blogging sites let you have the option of allowing pings or not for exactly that reason.

10 Things You Should Know Before You Bid On A Business Product From An Online Auction

2008-08-28T22:52:00.000-07:00

1. Know the value of the product before you bid. If
the product is brand new, check to see what price
retailers are charging for it. If the product is used or
reconditioned, you will want to pay way less than the
retail value.

2. If the product's description or picture isn't detailed
enough for you, contact the merchant to get more
information before you bid. You don't want to take a
chance to waste your hard earned money.

3. Know the highest price you will bid for the product
and stick with it. Don't get caught up in a bidding war;
you may end up paying more than the product's worth.
Don't forget to add in the shipping price with your bid.

4. Visit a few online auctions before bidding because
some merchants auction the same product in many
auctions. You usually can purchase the product for
a lower price in a unpopular auction because there
are less bidders.

5. Know the time the auction begins and ends. You
also want to know how long it will take to ship. If
you need the product by a certain date, you'll want
to estimate the time it will take to receive it.

6. Know the payment options the merchant accepts
before you bid on their product. If they only accept
checks or money orders, it may take even longer to
get the product because the payment has to clear. If
they accept credit cards make sure they have a secure
server.

7. Know if the merchant offers a warranty or money
back guarantee or before bidding on a product. You
don't want to get stuck with a product that does not
work or you're not satisfied with.

8. Online auctions will, sometimes, allow you to check
the merchants history with their auction. Check to see
if people have complained about the their products or
business practices before you decide to bid.

9. It's important to place a bid early in the auction to
show other bidders you are interested in the product.
If someone does out bid you, don't be afraid to out
bid them. Remember not to go over your maximum
bid price.

10. Another reason to know when the auction ends;
you can place a last minute bid. The other bidders
may not be keeping track of when the auction ends
or may not have the time to bid again.

Quote of the Day:

"There is a time in every man's education when he arrives
at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is
suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse,
as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of
good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but
through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is
given to him to till. The power that resides in him is new
in Nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can
do, nor does he know until he has tried." -- Ralph Waldo
Emerson

merchandise. It can be hats, bumper stickers, cups,
or anything with your web site print on it.

7. Increase your traffic by creating other web sites
that relate to the latest new fad. You just advertise
your main web site on your fad web sites.

8. Load your site with a wide variety of content.
Your site will become known as an area of regular
reference for many of your visitors.

9. Interview famous people that your visitors want
to know more about. Publish the interview in article
or audio format on your web site.

10. Tell people the purpose of your web site. When
they visit a web site and have to figure out what it's
about, they may get frustrated and leave soon.

3 Powerful Strategies for Recruiting..

2008-08-19T23:40:00.000-07:00

1. Funded Proposal:

The best way to increase your probability of success in your
business is to turn your little budget into a much larger
one while generating leads and a profit in the process. If
you don't have much money to promote your business then the
first thing you should think about is how to make your
budget larger, not how to get by solely on free traffic.

Why?

Free traffic is great, but to win in the end you want to
have the ability to generate traffic from as many different
places as possible and well, most high yield advertising
does cost money, so it's a reality to understand and overcome,
not try to maneuver around.
A FUNDED PROPOSAL gives you the opportunity to generate
leads and have those leads pay for themselves through the
sale of the products in your marketing system.

So the most important strategy is to think about how you can
afford to pay more for advertising instead of trying to do
everything free and using a funded proposal system is by
far the most powerful way to do this.

2. Article Marketing:

After returning from an extremely informative seminar this
weekend the power of article marketing has been reinforced
in my mind in a big way. I personally have written many
articles which all send me traffic back to my main site and
earn me money in the process.

This past weekend I listened to the strategies of an article
marketing specialist and this method alone had yielded him
over $12,000 a month all via free traffic.

If those two things aren't proof enough that article
marketing is powerful then I don't know what is.

It's free, it's viral, and produces the highest converting
leads of all traffic sources I've tracked, so I suggest you
use this strategy and use it in a big way.

An article a day keeps the J.O.B. away!

3. Blogging:

This one may surprise you, but blogging is not only a
powerful tool to use in your prospecting efforts, but it's a
highly targeted free traffic generator as well.

In fact I was extremely surprised to see that one of my
blogs that I use solely for prospecting and as a meeting
place for my team after checking my server stats to this day
generats over 2000 unique visitors a month and all I do is
write stuff and add it to the blog.

Don't expect blogging to bring you big traffic today or
tomorrow, but six months down the line when you have over
100 post or so on your blog mark my words the search engines
are going to be sending you some significant traffic just
for you having put that content out there.

That's proof enough for me.

So that's it.

The last thing to say is this, don't think about using just
one of these methods use them all together and you'll soon
not only have high quality targeted free traffic and leads
coming your way, but you'll find you have an ever growing
marketing budget to go along with it.

Now all that's left do is get to work!

10 Sizzling Ways To Ignite Your Profits.

2008-08-19T03:04:00.000-07:00

1. Create a memorable logo and slogan to brand
your business on the internet. When they see your
slogan or logo it will remind them of your business.

2. Multiply your marketing all over the internet by
creating free bonuses for other business' products.

3. Offer to buy advertising space inside electronic

etc. It will be cheaper than print insert ads.

4. Increase your sales by adjusting your product
or service to attract other target audiences. This
may mean redesigning or adding on to it.

5. Test the prices of your product or service. You
may increase the perceived value by raising your
price and a lower price may decrease your sales.

6. Use your product's features to support all of your
benefits. Just because benefits are more important,
don't forget to list the features.

7. Market yourself or business as an expert. Most
people have been told throughout their life to trust
and respect the authoritative figures in society.

8. Train yourself and your employees to be polite
to all your customers, even if they're shouting Solve
their problem quickly and it may even turn into a sale.

9. Give your visitors a good impression when they
first visit your web site. Don't make the first thing
they see at the top of your home page a banner ad.

10. Join online business associations. Most will give
you a membership graphic to put on your web site
which will give your business extra credibility.
