How To Persuade Undecided Visitors To Buy NOW!

Making the most of your website traffic is essential. You must create urgency so people will buy your products or services NOW. Why? Because they may not revisit your website or see your ad ever again. How do you do this? The most effective way is simply using a limited time offer! Limited time offers stop people from putting off buying your products or services. It stops them from procrastinating. There are many different varieties of limited time offers. Here are just a few examples: Limited Time Price Offers - For example, Order Now! While the price is still low. After May 5, 2005 this price will go up to…Limited Time Discount Offers - For example, Order before Midnight, May 5, 2005 and you will receive a 25% discount!Limited Time Free Bonus Offers - For example, Order before May 5, 2005 and you’ll get a free bonus!Limited Time In Stock Offers - For example, Order Now! While supplies last! After May 5, 2005 we can’t guarantee we will have any left in stock.I’m not saying everyone will order the first time they see your ad. They may not be interested in your products or services. It depends on your ad and the person reading the ad. If they are interested, usually, limited time offers will make them buy now.

But you should always aim for more.And this can be done through cross-selling and back selling.Cross-selling involves the sale of products related to themain products you are selling. For example, you are sellingan eBook on dog grooming. You could offer supportiveproducts like dog grooming kits, dog instructional videos,and the likes.You don’t have to come up with these products yourself.You could simply look for other online businesses offeringthese items, and you could sign up as their affiliate. Asan affiliate, you just have to refer people to the otherbusiness’ sales page, and when the visitors you havereferred would decide to make some purchases, you’ll geta commission for every sale!Back selling is slightly more complicated.

This is why it’s very important for your company to also have a newsletter that provides viable, relevant, and current information and that also markets your product or service.You might be a bit intimidated when it comes to writing a newsletter, but really all you need is a couple hours and a few good ideas. This should not be difficult if you are keeping up with the constant changes and improvements in your niche market. You will want to be always one step ahead of the rest of the newsletters in order to maintain and build a larger subscriber base quicker.One of the most important things for your newsletter is not only to be relevant, but also to look professional. People see the newsletter before they actually read it and if it looks unprofessional, subscribers could easily unsubscribe without ever reading it and you will lose a subscriber.There are many software programs you can buy that will help you build a newsletter that is not only professional, but has additional design features and the like. This is important because appearances can often mean everything so far as getting people to actually read what you have written.There are plenty of programs available online and web sites that cross compare programs features and prices. This will help you make a good choice in the program best for you.Next, you will want to have a reason for people to sign up for your newsletter. People do not subscribe to newsletters without good reason and interest, so you will want to make sure that not only does your letter look professional but that it provides professional information or other items your subscribers want like access to ebooks, toolkits, advice for marketing, business or other things.You should also have an automated program that initiates newsletter requests and processes newsletter remove requests. IF not, you might find yourself spending hours adding new e-mail addresses and removing others. Most people would rather spend this time on their business instead of managing email addresses. This program will certainly be worth whatever it costs.Also, you should know that over 70% of sales are made after at least the third contact with a potential customer, so marketing your products in a newsletter to weekly subscribers will mean increasing your sales and revenues.This is important for a successful business, so make sure you are providing cutting edge information for your subscribers and giving them a reason to stay a subscriber.Once you have your professional newsletter in place, watch as the subscribers increase day after day and watch how your sales are affected as well as traffic to your site. Marketing via a newsletter can only help your web page and revenues.

How To Drive Traffic To A Brand New Website

Every single day, more and more people upload brand new websites to the Internet. I don’t have any figures but there must be hundreds of thousands of new pages being added daily (if not considerably more!). The one thing that all of these new websites need in order to make their existence worthwhile is traffic, which leads me to one of the most common questions I am asked and the subject of this article: How can you generate traffic to a brand new website? Of course, there are a number of different answers to this question and what I would do myself is probably very different to what a completely new Internet entrepreneur would do. The reason I say this is that the first thing I do when launching a new site is make use of my existing website traffic by advertising the new site on my other established sites. In addition, I have the luxury of a large mailing list which I can use to drive traffic to the new site. I appreciate that anyone starting out in online business won’t have these options open to them (and in fairness, neither did I when I first started), so let’s look at things from the beginning. Day one of your first website… It is a fact that the quickest and probably most effective way of bringing targeted traffic to your website is by paying for it. Now before you rush off and sink $50 into one of those “50,000 hits for $50? schemes, DON’T! This isn’t what I mean. Those schemes are largely a complete waste of money. Even if you get the traffic that you are promised (as opposed to some software script visiting your site and pretending to be a visitor), it will not be targeted and therefore there is a very low chance that the traffic will generate sales. When I talk about buying traffic, I mean by using the pay- per-click services offered by most of the big search engines. You probably already know the sort of thing I mean - for example, Google Adwords. Pretty much any search on Google will display a list of adverts down the right-hand side of the page and these are all paid adverts. Every time you click on one of them, the advertiser pays Google a fixed amount which could be anything from 5 cents upwards (depending upon how competitive the keyword is). Pay-per-click allows you to be very selective about which keywords your advert is shown for and this allows you to target your advertising perfectly. Other big names in the pay-per-click market include Overture, Espotting and Findwhat. Now, before you all start emailing me and saying that you already knew about PPC let me just say that I am well aware that people know about it. As I see it, the problem is that people aren’t using this type of service because of the fact that they don’t want to spend any money on advertising. That’s all well and good but the fact is that the Internet is getting more and more competitive each day and the chances of you building a successful website business from scratch without investing any money are tiny to say the least. If you want to attract a decent level of traffic to a brand new website in a short period of time, it is almost a necessity that you use pay-per-click on one of the main search engines. If you don’t, then the growth of your traffic levels will be painfully slow and inconsistent at best. When I launched my very first websites I invested heavily in pay-per-click advertising. At one point, I was spending over $6000 a month on Google Adwords alone! Seriously I really was spending that much money. It was a constant battle to tweak the website sales copy and continue to test the advertisement text just to make sure that my sales were covering the advertising payments each month. At the time I was probably just about breaking even but buying traffic in this quantity meant that I was able to fine-tune my sales pages and start to build up a list of mailing list subscribers. Once you have got to the stage where you know your sales pages are converting visitors into buyers, then you can start to gear up with other methods of getting traffic to your site - writing articles, linking strategies, viral methods (ebooks etc), using your eBay ‘About Me’ page, using your link as a signature when you post on forums etc. All of these methods will win you traffic (and in most cases it will be completely free) but it will take time for the traffic to build to a worthwhile level. If you rely solely on free traffic, you really will be building your business one hit at a time. Of course, once the free methods of gaining traffic start to pay off, you can begin to wind down your paid methods, though you may not want to - after all, if you are earning more in sales than you are paying for your pay-per-click traffic, why stop it? As your portfolio of websites grows, you will also be able to share the traffic around a bit by linking to your own sites and of course, if you are capturing your visitors email addresses, you will be building a mailing list of people interested in the products you are offering. Like I say, I appreciate that the above may not be the ground-breaking secret that you were hoping for but as with so many things online, there really is no secret. Achieving success is simply about taking action and whilst you can succeed online by spending very little money, the chances are that you will succeed a lot quicker by making a bit of an investment. You don’t have to be spending thousands of dollars a month as I was but any new business owner should be prepared to invest a few hundred dollars a month in order to get things off the ground.

20 tried and proven ways to make good money on the Internet

Here are 20 tried and proven ways to make good money on the Internet:

1. Offer to write exclusive articles (that means you only submit them to one place) for high traffic websites in exchange for a link back to your own website.

2. Create a positive online image. Tell your visitors about fundraisers you have sponsored or that you donate a part of your profits to charity.

3. Improve your customer service on a regular basis. Try out new technologies that make it easier to communicate with your customers over the net.

4. Ask your customers what they would like to see offered by your business in the future. This type of information can boost your sales.

5. Make sure your web host isn’t losing your sales. If you get an email from someone that told you that they couldn’t access your site, it might be your host.

6. Allow your visitors experience to be an enjoyable one at your website. Provide easy navigation, good content, fast loading graphics, search options, etc.

7. Keep changing or adding freebies to your website. If people see the same freebie in your ads they will say to themselves, “been there done that”.

8. Add a directory to your website. When visitors submit their website, email them confirming their link has been added and remind them to revisit.

9. Organize your marketing and advertising into a plan. Create a list of daily, weekly, monthly and all other future promotional plans.

10. Trade links only with websites that your target audience or yourself would visit. They should offer their visitors valuable content or freebies.

11. Gain an advantage over your competition. You should find one benefit your competition doesn’t offer and use it as your main selling point.

12. Design your ezine so it creates multiple free advertising streams. Ask readers to forward it to people they know, offer ad trades, etc.

13. Allow your visitors to subscribe to an update ezine. Anytime you make changes to your website they can receive an informative email.

14. Focus your articles on information the targeted readers and ezine publishers want. They will get published more often, which means free publicity.

15. Use problems to attract online traffic. Find a common online problem and use your website to solve it. People will visit and see your ads.

16. Have an informative FAQ page at your website. Anticipate questions your prospects or visitors may have; this will help improve your sales ratio.

17. Improve your negotiation skills. This’ll improve your business because you’re always negotiating ad swaps, supply prices, joint ventures, wages, etc.

18. Beat your competition by giving away a similar product or service that they charge for. It could be add on products, warranties, servicing, etc.

19. Build a larger online community by giving your visitors bonuses for participating on your message boards or chat rooms. Try free products, ads, etc.

20. Instead of starting an affiliate program, start a referral program. Give people discounts and free products for referring people to your site.
