Increase your Ratio
Increase your ratio of visitors who purchase your
product(s). You could change your headline, offer a
stronger guarantee, add testimonials, etc. For
example, one week you could have your headline
say, "How To Lose 5 Pounds In Two Days!" and
the next week use, "Lose 5 Pounds In Only 48
Hours!" Just see which one pulls more orders per
visitors.
Find out who are your strongest leads for buying
your product by offering a free e-zine. The visitors
who are very interested will subscribe to it. Once
they have subscribed, you can sell them related
products again and again. Just make sure your
e-zine has enough original content to keep them
interested.
Team up with your competition by starting an
association for your specific industry. It could lead
to a profitable partnership with them. You could
give all the members graphic links to place on their
home pages. This would increase your membership
and business exposure.
Publish an e-zine for your employees. This could
motivate them to do a better job or keep them
advised on where your business is headed. For
example, you could include articles about friendly
customer service, being more productive, getting
along with other employees, employee profiles, etc.
Search for your business' name in newsgroups
and discussion boards. Some of the comments you
find could help you improve your business. For
example, you could find someone complaining about
your customer service, an employee, your web site
design, product, etc. Then you'll know what to
improve.
Attract people to link to your web site. You could
offer them a discount on the products you sell or give
them free items for linking. For example, you could
say, "Get A Huge 30% Discount On Our E-book If
You Agree To Link To Our Web Site For At Least
One Month!”
Develop your own opt-in email list by giving your
visitors a reason to give you their e-mail address.
Allow them to sign up to free items and contests.
Just get their permission to e-mail them again in the
future for other things. For example, you could
say, "Sign Up For Your Chance To Win A Color
TV!"
Create a "PR" web page for your business. List
information that could be considered newsworthy
for e-zines, newspapers, magazines, etc. There are
many ways to get into the media, like launching a
unusual product, donating a large amount to charity,
holding big events, etc.
Give your business and products credibility by
linking to web sites that have written positive stories
about your business. You could link to them right
in your product ad. For example, you could say, "Just See What (name) Magazine Is Saying About
Our Newest E-book!"
