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.

give your business credibility and you’ll gain peoples
trust. It’s important to include the persons full name
and location with the testimonial.

product or service. The free bonuses could be books,
jewelry, reports, newsletters, etc.

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.

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.

 Do you post to message boards, e-mail discussion
 lists, classified ads sites, FFA sites or newsgroups?
 People will usually read the subject line before they
 read your ad or message, so it’s important they get
 noticed. Below are ten simple, but powerful tips to
 get your ads or messages noticed.

 1. Use extra white space creatively in your subject
 line. You can add extra blank spaces between your
 words or letters.

 2. Combine capital letters with lower case letters.
 Use all capital letters in every other word or use a
 capital letter between every other lower case letter.

 3. Add text symbols in your subject line. You could
 use them between words and letters. Start and end
 your subject with a text symbol. ( *, $, ,{,] )

 4. Begin your subject line with the word “STOP!”.
 People have been trained their whole life to stop
 what they are doing when they see that word.

 5. Ask people a question in your subject line. We
 all went to school and were repetitively branded to
 answer questions.

 6. Use the word “FREE” in your subject line. Your
 offer should be attractive to your target audience.
 It could be free information, software, trials, etc.

 7. Begin your subject line with an “online smile :)”.
 People use smiles offline to gain people’s attention
 and to win their trust, why not use them online too.

 8. Don’t use unbelievable claims in your subject line.
 People have or know some who has been ripped
 off and trained themselves to ignore those claims.

 9. Don’t use all capital letters in your subject line.
 It is hard to read, looks unprofessional, and on the
 internet it’s considered a symbol for shouting.

 10. Test different subject lines to see which ones
 draws the most traffic to your web site. Also, read
 the FAQ before posting a message or ad anywhere.

1. Swap endorsement advertisements with other
web sites. Endorsement ads usually pull more sales
and traffic than regular advertisements.

2. Outsource part of your workload to save time
and money. You can spend more of your time and
money promoting your business.

3. Include a signature file on all the e-mails you send
out. Provide your business name, phone number,
e-mail and web address,etc.

4. Use pictures or graphics on your web site that
support the product you’re selling. They could give
your visitors a clearer vision of your product.

5. Create a friendly, long term relationship with all
your customers. Practice good customer service
and follow-up with them on a regular basis.

6. Create strategic alliances with other web sites.
You could exchange banner ads, sell each other’s
products as backend products, cross promote, etc.

7. Increase the perceived value of your product to
skyrocket your sales. Add on free bonuses, after-
sale services or an affiliate program.

8. Give customers a discount on their total order
to increase sales. You could give them a discount
for ordering over a set dollar or product amount.

9. Allow your visitors to reprint the content on your
web site. Just ask them in exchange to include your
resource box and a link to your site.

10. Provide a free contest or sweepstakes at your
web site. It’s a fact, people like to win things. If you
can fulfill that need, people will visit.

As you know it can be very expensive to attract new
customers. You can cut down on those expenses
by “upselling” to those new customers. For example,
let’s say you’re selling a computer with a 15″ monitor
for $1200. You tell people they can upgrade to a 17″
monitor for only $200 more. That’s upselling! Your
goal is to get more money out of the first sale. Below
are ten upselling strategies you can use to increase
your profits.

1. Deluxe Upsell-You could sell a basic product and
tell people for a little more money they can receive the
deluxe edition.

2. Money Upsell-You could offer people the rights
to sell the product they are buying from your business.
You could charge an extra $30 dollars to get the
reproduction rights.

3. Discount Upsell-If you’re selling a product people
may order again in the future like shave gel, you could
offer them a second can of shave gel at a discount.

4. Time Upsell-If you’re selling a product or service
people subscribe to, like a magazine, you could tell
them if they subscribe for two years instead of one,
they can receive it half off the cover price.

5. Quantity Upsell-This is similar to the discount upsell.
The only difference is you increase the discount by
how many products they order. If they order 3 it’s a
10% discount, if they order 5 it’s a 15% discount.

6. Package Upsell-When you’re selling a product you
could offer similar products in a package deal. Tell
the people the other products are cheaper with the
package deal versus purchasing them separately.

7. Affiliate Upsell-When you’re selling a product you
could offer someone else’s product as an upsell. You
would have to make a commission on the product in
order to profit.

8. Free Upsell-You could offer a free sample or trial
of your product (your first sale would be free) and
then tell people if they order the full version right now
they will get a discount.

9. Extra Upsell-There are many things you could
charge extra for at the time of sale. It could be gift
wrapping, imprinting, custom designs, etc.

10. Extended Upsell-If your product comes with a
warranty, you could ask people if they would like to
extend the warranty one more year for only $30.

In conclusion, you can use one or all these strategies
to increase your profits at the point of sale. Don’t be
afraid to use your imagination to come up with other
upsell strategies.
