Remind Your Customers

If you don’t remind your customers that you are
still in business they may forget. Repeat customers
are the lifeblood of any business. Below are three
effective strategies you can use to remind your
customers that you are still in business and get
them to buy over and over again.

1. Ask your customers to subscribe to your free
publication. It could be a print newsletter, e-zine,
newspaper, journal etc. You could send out the
publication weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, etc. The
articles in the publication should be informative
and helpful to your readers. You can increase
repeat purchases by including advertisements of
new products and services that you offer.

2. Ask customers to sign-up to an e-mail update
that tells them when you have made changes to
your web site. Whenever you update your web
site send them an e-mail to remind them to visit
again. If you’re using this strategy it’s important
to update your web site often. Add new content
that would be of interest to your customers. You
could also add free stuff to your web site like
software, online utilities, ebooks etc.

3. Follow-up with your customers. You could
follow-up by e-mail, direct mail or by telephone.
It’s always important to get their permission to
follow-up ahead of time. You could contact
them and ask them if they were happy with their
purchase. Send them online or offline greeting
cards on holidays and birthdays. You could also
follow-up with a free gift letting them know you
appreciate their business. You can get repeat
business from them if you include another product
offer or back end product with each follow-up.

In conclusion, any of the three strategies above
will increase the number of repeat purchases from
your current customers. You can increase their
effectiveness by combining all of them into your
marketing campaign.

Many people don’t have the time or skills to write
and create ebooks to give away to their web site
visitors. Giving away ebooks from your web site
can easily increase traffic and sales. Why not
create promotional ebooks for other people to
use so they can promote their web site.

First, you will need to write and create your own
ebook to give away to your visitors. If you don’t
want to write one, you could ask permission to
use another writers’ articles or material. Be sure
to include your text or banner at the beginning of
the ebook.

Once your ebook is uploaded to your web site
you can allow people to download it and give
it away to their web site visitors. Your ad will
continue to be spread all over the internet.

You can take this strategy one step further to
make it even more powerful. Allow people to
sign-up to get a version of the ebook with their
own text or banner ad included in it. With their
own ad included in the ebook, they’ll work
harder to promote it. That means your ad will be
seen by even more people. It’s now a win/win
situation for you and your visitors!

Follow-Up With Freebies

It’s important to follow-up with potential online customers.
Following up with them can increase your traffic and sales.
The more times people see your ad, the greater chance
they will buy your product or service.

Before you can follow-up with them you need their e-mail
address. You can get their e-mail address by having them
subscribe to your e-zine, fill out a web site form, or e-mail
your follow-up autoresponder.

Most people won’t give you their e-mail address unless they
get something in return. The most effective way is to offer
them an internet freebie. Here are some ideas.

Free E-Gifts
It could be free software, guest books, web space, graphics
message boards, etc.

Free Internet Services
It could be free e-consulting, search engine submissions,
web design, etc.

Free E-Information
It could be a free e-book, e-report, web book, e-course,
e-zine, etc.

When you follow-up with the freebie, you can include your
ad somewhere on the freebie. If it’s a free service, have
your ad in the follow-up e-mail. Make sure you always get
their permission before you follow-up with them by e-mail.

WordPress Goldmine

It is not often that an e-book is published on a particular subject, which just makes all others look completely useless.  However, with the release of WordPress Goldmine this is what has happened.  Where most affiliate marketing guides get you to focus on finding a product through Clickbank and then create a blog for it, WordPress Goldmine does not.  Instead it looks at the different aspects relating to the process of finding the right domain names and what products to promote the site.

This e-book takes an in-depth look at not just the processes but also the different kinds of sites one can build.  It also provides you with live examples that actually provide value in this e-book unlike any other.  What seems to make this book so special is that those who have already used it have found it easy to follow because the author has broken it up into five separate sections.

Section 1:
We look at the different ways of building a WordPress blog, plus the steps one needs to take in order to get your blog up and running. You also find some bonus videos, helping you to understand the whole process from beginning to end.

Section 2:
Here we learn about the different kind of content you can use in your blog.  The author covers everything from using PLR articles to original content. Find out how to get unique content posted to your blog regularly and completely free. I know one want to do everything yourself but this is just a breather to help you develop yours in no time at all.

Section 3:
Now this section is the real gem! Learn how to monetize your blog.  As it is real in-depth, you must be prepared to spend quality time here. The author shows you exactly how he made a $15,000 income through just one blog post.  Learn also new ways to make money from a blog offline and create an extra $1000 per week by the end of the year. This approach is a vast change from those plans which say “earn $$$$ in just 30 days” and so makes this plan more achievable.

Section 4:
Here the author explains the different methods to promote the sites that you build.  An easy to follow diagram lists different sites that one can utilize.  These sites in turn will help to make your blog a success rather than a failure.  You also receive details of a traffic generation system for your site that is easy to master.

Section 5:
Take your website promotion to a completely different level when building your site.  Some people may find this section a little daunting. If you follow the steps from the beginning this is as easy as pie.

WordPress Goldmine is a superb guide to help with affiliate marketing. By using commonsense over unnecessary hype certainly made a pleasant change and could well lead to more internet marketers actually producing books of a caliber similar to this one.

This book proves to hold a wealth of information that makes it great value for money.  For new internet entrepreneurs or if you are not quite a seasoned marketer yet,  you will find information, advice and tips which can help to increase your online income within the pages of it.

If you are intending to buy one e-book this year then I recommend that you go out and get your copy now.
