10. Lightening Fast Ways To Escalate Your Sales

by: Aimee Kadi

1. Sell an inexpensive product to sell an expensive product. If people like your inexpensive product, they'll be persuaded to buy your expensive one. 2. Allow your visitors to decided how much they want to pay for your product. I only recommend it for products that don't sell or ones that hardly sell. 3. Create an extra revenue stream with your web site's articles or content. Publish the first paragraph of each article and charge people to read the rest. 4. E-mail targeted e-zines and ask them to do a joint venture with you. Ask them to run your ad and in exchange they get a percentage of the profits. 5. Find a tiny niche for your new free e-zine. There are thousands of free e-zines; your e-zine needs to be extra specialized to attract new subscribers. 6. Test your ads by using autoresponders. You can have people e-mail your autoresponders to get more information and you just check your traffic reports. 7. Create credibility and trust with your visitors by telling them something they already know. They'll know for sure you're not lying to them. 8. Make residual income from your customers by selling back end products. If you don't have any, you could sign up to related affiliate programs. 9. Use a redirect page to boost your sales. People think the long affiliate URLs look unprofessional in e-mail so you could redirect them to a web link. 10. Create an extra income from your web site by charging for consulting. The consulting should be related to your web site's theme.

Top Internet Marketing Techniques

by: Hans Hasselfors

The Internet offers many means of affordable marketing, often with full-color imagery to go along with text. And multimedia components add some spice to the mix and increase online visitors and purchases. Here are some top Internet marketing techniques to help increase your sales and income. 1. DIRECTORY - Create your own directory on a specific industry topic, placing your own ad or banner along the top. Then invite others to add their website links via a link exchange program, listing themselves in your directory. This will result in lots of free advertising for you as your directory expands with links across the World Wide Web. Enter “link exchange software” into your favorite search engine for help with setup. 2. TEACH A COURSE – Write out a simple step-by-step instructional class in your area of expertise. Then break it up into smaller segments and set them up in an autoresponder as email messages with your ads included at the top and / or bottom of each message. Invite website visitors to sign up through on online form or email subscription address offered through the autoresponder service. Then as people sign up, they will learn more about you and your products and services. 3. EZINE EBOOK – Forget about small daily or weekly ezines. Try publishing one large monthly e-zine as an e-book format, preferably an Adobe .pdf file. Include a large number of articles with each issue and regularly featured areas like inspirational quotes, industry tips, favorite sites and advice from the pros. Also insert full-color graphics, multimedia components like audio file links, if you like, and ads. Then you can charge a monthly rate, with an annual discounted package purchase, and sell advertising spots. 4. TIP OF THE DAY – Set up your own Tip of the Day targeting your own area of expertise, relating to your own products and services. You can set it up on your website in a targeted box, via autoresponder, a blog, an RSS feed, an audio file or others means of communication. Add your own ad along with your tip for whichever product or service you want to target or maybe even your own online store for all. This will gently remind your target audience where to go to learn more. In summary, by using Internet Marketing techniques customized to fit your own products and services, you can reach out and increase your website traffic and purchase opportunities. Internet marketing can mean a more affordable way to grow your business. About the author: This Article Was Published By Hans Hasselfors, from The Business Professional. Get the net working for you.

Free Traffic Course - Day 5

by: Nickolay Bokhonok

Online statistics shows that about 10rom online visitors make immediate purchase on the web site. Other 90f visitors may leave your web site forever, without making any purchase. Do you want to lose 90f web site visitors that were driven with so many efforts? No! Internet marketing has time-proven tool that catches targeted visitors on your web site and transform them into loyal clients. This tool is known as autoresponder. Autoresponder is very similar to a mailing list. But its aims and functioning differ. Mailing list is used to send the messages to its subscribers; autoreposnder GATHERS subscribers and then sends them messages. For example, you got to the web site about University scholarships, and you are not ready to buy anything from this web site right now. But you see a pop-up window or subscription form saying something like, "Sign up here to get free and fresh updates on new scholarship programs". Hm, you start thinking. If you are a targeted visitor and feel motivated to get a scholarship, you will surely subscribe to free updates about new scholarship programs. So, you submit your name and email to subscription form of the autoresponder. You get free updates, and web site gets your name and email to the base of subscribers. Having your name and email, good marketers will find useful products and services to offer you in future. This is when web site is starting to get lifetime customer value from its visitors. But be careful: do not terrorize your subscribers with useless offers. Otherwise they will unsubscribe from your list, and you will lose them forever. Would you like to grow the base of your web site subscribers? Yes! Are these subscribers targeted? Yes! If they did not make a purchase on your web site from the first visit, it does not mean they will not do it in future. You just need to try other approach or other offer. The subscriber is bound to your web site now. This is only the general idea about how autoresponders work. Look below to see how they can bring money to your web site. DIFFERENT WAYS TO MAKE MONEY WITH AUTORESPONDERS Using autoresponder you can: 1. Sell your own products and services more effectively. 2. Get more re-orders from your clients - if you sell something which needs ordering from time to time (health products, movie tickets), the autoresponder will keep in touch with your clients. 3. Generate more upsells - if your products/services have updates and upgrades, autoresponder will help you to motivate clients for buying the update or upgrade. 4. Create cross-sells - you can sell any complimenting products and services that have any relation to the major offer on your web site. Thus you give a bigger collection of offers, help your joint-venture partners to make more money and get your commission from it. And you have all rights to ask your partners for the same favor: sell something on their web site. In any case, you make more money. 5. Recruit and train affiliates - autoresponder is a perfect tool for educating and motivating your subscribers. They get more info with each new message, and you increase your web site credibility. 6. Ask for feedback from your clients - make it a usual practise to ask your clients once a month what they need from your web site. You do not even imagine how many good ideas they will give you for free. 7. Minimize refunds - when your customer gets more and more info that explains the real benefits and advantages of the offer bought from your web site, this client has less and less desire to ask money back. WHAT FEATURES SHOULD A GOOD AUTORESPONDER HAVE? You can use the maximum profits from marketing potential of autoresponder, only when this autoresponder has the following features: - you can get unlimited number of autoresponders; - you can add new autoresponders or edit the existing ones; - you can choose and set up the mailing list to save the subscribers of your autoresponder (the system will save new subscribers to any mailing list you wish); - you can program autoresponder by days, scheduling to send its messages the way you wish; - you can make autoresponder messages in TXT and HTML formats, and add attachments to them (audio or even vide files); - you can use a huge collection of macros elements to highly personalize your autoresponder messages; - you can get full statistics about sent messages, new subscribers, unsubscribed users of autoresponder; - you can import and export the subscribers to any base, or save them in a separate file. When autoresponder has these features, you can easily turn a simple subscription process into a new source of loyal clients on your web site. The benefits of using autoresponder are evident: you do not visitors from your web site, you grow your base of subscribers and clients, you can motivate your subscribers and client to get more targeted for your offers. Plus, autoresponder automates the whole process of gathering the names and emails from your subscribers, saving them into a database, emailing them under the set delivery schedule, transferring the clients from one base to another, etc. So, if you do not have autoresponder on your web site, you are losing your profits.

7 Valuable Tips For Article Writers

by: Ken Hill

1. Let your affiliates use your articles to earn commissions. Simply make your articles available to your affiliates to publish in their ezines or on their web sites with their affiliate links in your resource box. You'll be able to increase the success of your existing affiliates. You'll also be able to get your new affiliates started on the right track by providing them with a unique and powerful way to begin promoting your business. 2. Post your articles on your site. Not all article writers do this, but it's a great way to showcase your expertise and increase your visitor's trust in you. It can also help you to get more new affiliate sign ups. Just let your visitors know that they can use your articles to earn commissions. 3. Write to one person. A good way to draw your reader into your article is to write as if you're writing to a friend. By doing this, your article won't turn out like a "business document", and you'll be able to make your writing more personable and get more traffic to your site. 4. Do an article swap. You could swap an article to be published in another writer's ezine, or you could swap articles to be published on each others' sites. 5. Start an article announcement list. Get more ezine publishers and webmasters to reprint your articles by running an email list that tells them when you've written a new article or articles. Like publishing your articles on your site, your list can help you to get more new affiliates. Your list can also keep your existing affiliates up to date on any new commissionable articles you have for them to publish. 6. Use autoresponders. Make your individual articles and also a "master list" of your articles available by autoresponder. Include your master list email address in your posts to article announcement lists, along with your publishing guidelines and other information. That way you'll be able to further promote your past articles, and you'll get more of your articles published by webmasters and ezine publishers that enjoy your writing. Autoresponders can also be used to publish your article announcement list (or ezine). With broadcast capable autoresponders you'll be able to double opt in your subscribers, easily send out your announcements, and your autoresponders can easily take care of your subscribe and unsubscribe requests. 7. Create ebooks. For example, you could make an ebook compilation of your best articles on a specific topic such as ezine publishing or copywriting. Add to the profit you get from your new ebook by publishing articles in it where you're able to earn commissions, or by making it available to your affiliates to rebrand with their affiliate links.

People accusing you of sending sp*am? FIVE 'Email Marketer must know' tips.

by: Radhika Venkata

People accusing you of sending spam? FIVE 'Email Marketer must know' tips. Radhika Venkata (c). People tend to forget their subscriptions. Sometimes they don't even know why they subscribed to your newsletter. Especially if the person is seeking for information, he/she will subscribe to every ezine or ecourse that will come across their search. They don't remember it after a while. If you send email to them after few months, they simply accuse you of sending spam. So how to safegaurd yourself from this type of accusations? Follow up and Mailing list management software: You can manage your ecourses, broadcasts, follow ups with this single software- http://www.scripts4webmasters.com/follow-up-autoresponder-pro/index.shtml 1. Provide their personal details in every email: On top of each email, put their email address, their ip number with which they subscribed, URL of the form where they subscribed, list name they subscribed. This way your subscribers are aware of that you have their details with their permission. You only gets the subscriber ips when he/she subscribes using a form. If they subscribed using email addresses, the ip will not be grabbed by your autoresponder software. 2. Use Double opt-in: Some of the marketers say that 'You have to make it easy for the subscriber to receive your emails'. So people tend to neglect to implement double opt-in. They think that it will be a hassle for subscriber to click on the confirmation link in the email. Remember one thing... if they are really interested they will click, not one... more than that to receive information from you. This type of list is best to target your information and to get some profits from it. 3. 'Unsubscribe' link: Put 'Unsubscribe' link in every email in the footer area. Sometimes subscribers subscribe using subscriberATdomain.com, redirects his email to subscriberATdomain2.com. Then he tries to unsubscribe using second email, which obviously not in your database and he can't be removed by your software. Then he/she will get upset that you are sending spam. So tell them that use the same email address that they used to subscribe, to unsubscribe. You can put this information under your unsubscribe link. 4. Privacy statement: Create a tag in your autoresponder like [privacy_statement], if your software allows it. Then put this tag in all email below 'Unsubscribe' link. Let this privacy statement should be similar that you put on the subscription form web page. If your autoresponder software don't allow tags, then put url to your privacy satement on your web page. 5. Authentication Seals: Recently I came across this site where they provide email marketers a special code that goes with headers of your email(s), making them legitimate. http://www.habeas.com/servicesHowSWEWorks.php There is another one: http://www.truste.org/businesses/email_services.php About the author: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Radhika Venkata Subscribe to 'iNet Marketing Ezine' which is completely focused on Internet Marketing.

Winning the Traffic Exchange Game

by: Shannon Herod

Winning the traffic exchange game can be done. I was just starting out online and had no money so I was looking for a free way to drive traffic to my site. That is when I first found traffic exchanges. I found the concept to be great and signed up for everyone I found and started clicking and clicking and clicking. After countless hours, a blistered clicking finger and a lot of frustration I found the secret to the game. Traffic Is What They Want The members clicking for hits at the traffic exchanges are looking for the same thing you are. Traffic to there site. Most are not interested in finding a new opportunity or looking to go shopping they just want traffic. So how do you get their business? The most effective way is by using a lead capture page. Lead Capture Page A lead capture page is a simple site that stands out to the surfer. The object is to not sell your product or information but to create curiosity. At the bottom of the page you will need a form so people can request more information from you. By nature we are curious people so people will sign up. The people that are surfing for hits have 30 seconds on average to review your site it is hard to sell a product in 30 seconds but it is pretty easy to peak someone's curiosity. You can see the page I use in the traffic exchanges at: http://www.dreams2freedom.com/listbuilder.html Follow Up O.K. I have a lead capture page but were do I send the people that sign up? An autoresponder. An autoresponder is a program that will automatically follow up with your prospects for you. You can create a number of different messages and have them sent at different intervals to your prospect after they signup through your lead capture page. This is a great tool because it puts your business on auto pilot after you do the initial work to get the lead. The autoresponder I use is GetResponse It is feature-rich and free to set up. You can check it out at: http://www.GetResponse.com/index/dreams2freedom Now that you have an autoresponder you are going to write detailed instructions on how you product works or a report on how you product can benefit the subscriber and split it into at least 5 emails. Most people will not buy on the first contact so you want to give the subscriber at least 5 exposures. You can see an example of what I use by sending a blank email to: traffic_machine@GetResponse.com. Now set the messages to be sent 3 days apart and watch the sales start coming in. Capture Leads Not Sales In conclusion winning the traffic exchange game is fairly simple, don't try to sell your products just create curiosity and capture their name and email. Have a solution to a problem people have and you will get people begging you for more information. Hint: People at traffic exchanges want more traffic.
