10 Ways To Sell Your Products Faster

1. Give people a deadline to order. Tell people if
they order by Jan 28, 2000 they will get a discount
or free bonuses. This will create an urgency so they
don’t put off buying.

2. Offer people a money back guarantee. The longer
the guarantee the more effective it will be. It could be
a 30 day, 60 day, 1 year, or lifetime guarantee.

3. Offer a free on-site repair service for products you
sell. This is convenient for people because they won’t
have to send it away for repair and they won’t have
to be without the product for a long period of time.

4. Publish testimonials on your ad copy. They will
give your business credibility and you’ll gain peoples
trust. It’s important to include the persons full name
and location with the testimonial.

5. Give people free bonuses when they order your
product or service. The free bonuses could be books,
jewelry, reports, newsletters, etc.

6. Allow people to make money reselling the product
or service. Tell people they can join your affiliate
program, if they order. You could pay them per sale,
per click, per referral, etc.

7. Offer free 24 hour help with all products you sell.
Allow customers to ask you questions by e-mail, by
toll free phone, by free fax, etc.

8. Provide free shipping with all orders. If you can’t
afford it, you could offer free shipping on orders over
a specific dollar amount.

9. Give away a free sample of your product. You will
gain people’s trust when you allow them to try out a
free sample of your product. If they like it they won’t
hesitate buying it.

10. Offer a buy one get one free deal. If you sell
more than one product this type of deal works great.
People will feel they are getting more for their money
and order quicker.

10 Ways To Indirectly Get To The Top Of Search Engines

There are millions of web sites trying to get listed in
the top 20 spots of the major search engines. That
amounts to a lot of competition! I say if you can’t
get listed at the top, indirectly get to the top.

How do you do this? Look up the top 20 web sites
on the major search engines under the keywords and
phrases people would find your web site. The key
would be to then advertise on those web sites.

The most expensive way would be to buy ad space
on those web sites. If you don’t want to spend any
money, you could use the ten strategies below.
These strategies may not apply to every web site.

1. Participate on their discussion boards. You could
post questions, answer other peoples questions, and
join in on conversations. Just include your signature
file and link at the end of your messages.

2. Ask the web site owner if they would like a free
ebook to giveaway to their visitors. You could have
them link to your web site or include your ad in the
free ebook.

3. Submit content to their web site. You could write
articles for their web site and include your resource
box and link at the end of the article. If they publish
it, you’ll indirectly be at the top of the search engines.

4. Write an excellent article review of their web site,
products or services. Then publish the review on your
web site. E-mail the web site owner and tell him or
her about it. They may link to your web site so their
visitors read it.

5. Ask the owner of the web site if they would want
to trade advertising. If you don’t get as much traffic
as they do, you could throw in some extra incentives.

6. Propose a cross promotion deal with the web site.
You both could promote each others products or
services together in one package deal. This means a
mention and link back to your web site.

7. Give the web site a testimonial for their product or
service. Include a little text link for your web site with
the testimonial. You never know; it could end up on
their ad copy.

8. Post your advertisement on their free classified ad
section on their web site. You want to be sure you
have an attractive headline so they will read your ad.

9. Post your text link on their free-for-all links page.
You want to go back and post your link regularly so
it stays towards the top.

10. Sign their guest books. You could leave a short
compliment about their web site on their guest book.
Just include your signature file and link at the end of
your message.

10 Ways To Increase Your Affiliate Commissions

1. Participate in chat rooms related to the product
you’re reselling. Start a conversation with a person
without trying to sell to them. Later on, while you
are chatting, mention the product you’re reselling.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Advertise the product you’re reselling in your
signature file. Use an attention getting headline and
a good reason for them to visit your affiliate site.
Make sure your sig file doesn’t go over 5 lines.

7. Join a web ring. It should attract the same type
of people that would be interested in buying the
product you’re reselling. You could also trade links
on your own with other related web sites.

8. Participate on web discussion boards. Post your
comments, answer other people’s questions, and
ask your own questions. Include your affiliate text
link under each message you post.

9. 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.

10. Start a private web site. Use it as a free bonus
if people buy the product you resell. You could
also allow people to join for free and you could
advertise the affiliate program you’ve joined.

to your business. You could install a chat room on
your web site or use a free one from another web site.
Before the class starts tell them a little about yourself.

in your e-zine to write about yourself or business. This

speak at business seminars, join a business club or
association. Assemble fundraisers for charity. These
are just few ideas to promote yourself offline.

it via e-mail or phone. They will get to know you and

history in your ad copy. While people are reading it
they begin to trust you and your business. Don’t over
do it though, you want to keep them interested in
your product.
