6)Free gifts or Bonus - The audience attending conference can be given gifts - after all they are investing there time for presentation. The website can also offer several incentives to visitors and lure her to visit again and again. Free ebooks, subscription to newsletters, links to related resources, articles and additional information are some of simplest incentives that can be offered to visitor.

7)Anticipate Questions - When a question is put up to spokesperson, she should accept it with understanding showing that she had been expecting question and was prepared to answer it. This approach will re-assure audience as they develop feeling that "everything has been taken care of". While designing a website anticipated questions should be compiled and answers should be provided. It may be helpful to provide separate pages displaying common questions and answers.

8)Testimonials - After end of presentation, very few people are likely to sign-up immediately. Those who are still interested after presentation would like to take some time to decide. They are likely to seek additional information and confirmation of information already provided. The spokesperson should clearly spell out how easy it would be to get any further information. Visitors to website often re-visit several times before they take any decision, particularly decisions involving money transaction. Testimonials and endorsements appearing on website are very effective in getting a favorable response from visitors.

9)Follow-Up - During a presentation it is common practice to register names and other details of participants. This information can be used to follow-up with them by sending further messages. The website should be used to perform a very important function of capturing names and e-mail addresses of interested persons for following-up with them.

Thinking of website as a spokesperson adds a human dimension with which we are more familiar. Reviewing your website from a new angle can reveal ways of improving it.

Whenever you sign-up for an affiliate program or buy a product, review it in your blog and be brutally honest, your readers will love you for it. Take a completely unbiased view point and talk about both positives and negatives of each product. In essence you are providing more of an insight into product than sales page itself, almost a sample, this will help convert those prospects that are ‘sitting on fence’ so to speak. Obviously when you review your affiliate products, make sure that you use your affiliate links.

It has been shown that prospects are 7-10 times more likely to buy from a blog recommendation than from other sources!

Other ways that you can generate extra income through your blog are through Google ad sense program, selling banner/link space as your traffic increases or as I mentioned earlier by adding you own opt-in sign up form to which you send your newsletter or other targeted offers.

Your blog can be syndicated using RSS, which I won’t go into here, that’s another article. But savvy webmasters can use your blog content on their web pages. This benefits them as they have regularly updated fresh content for their website and benefits you through increased exposure and free targeted traffic.

Be passionate about your blog, love your blog. If you do not then it will become obvious through your posts and you are unlikely to be anywhere near as successful as you could be.

Add to your blog regularly provide good quality content and reviews and you will be on your way to blogging success.
