6.Autoresponder advertising

If you want to be a successful internet businessman you need to have an autoresponder. It is an essential tool which will save you hours of precious time. You can set your autoresponder up to email your prospects at certain intervals, and so take advantage, and send your new prospects emails about your new products, your special deals and your unique selling point which will benefitrepparttar reader. Alternatively, if you use your autoresponder to send out your special email course, make sure you have a small advertisement atrepparttar 145547 bottom and top ofrepparttar 145548 email. Either way, this is a way to get great traffic without you having to do any work.

7.Usingrepparttar 145549 power of recommendation

Nothing will make people come to your site more than having a friend recommend it to them. Everyone respects their friend’s opinions and if you can get people to recommend your site then you’re very likely to achieve a maximum amount of traffic. Word of mouth is a very common way of spreading ‘the best new thing’. To get a recommendation script to put on your website so that visitors can recommend your site atrepparttar 145550 click of a button, go to http://www.cgi-resources.com or http://www.hotscripts.com. Generally, I find that people will not recommend your site unless there is an incentive. Therefore, offer a free reward if people recommend your site, such as a free ebook or free software product. Also, make sure that your recommendation form is on lots of your web pages and that it is very visible. Soon, you will have a large number recommending their friends to your site.

8.Holding a contest on your website

Holding a contest is a concept which has been highly neglected, even though it has tremendous traffic building potential. Hold a contest on your site for something that your site is based around. For example, if your site is based around video games,repparttar 145551 prize could berepparttar 145552 latest video game, which you know everyone who visits your site will be interested in. Often you don’t have to pay forrepparttar 145553 prize either. Many companies would be happy to give you a free prize, becauserepparttar 145554 company would receive free advertising. People will come to your site, seerepparttar 145555 contest, and if they like it (which you have to make sure they do), they will almost certainly tell a friend about it. This way you will collect a load of email addresses, which you can mail to, to tell them about product updates. The potential for traffic is unlimited. Plus, by offering competitions like this, your site will gain popularity from winners, and you could also offer a consolation prize to those who haven’t won, so that you get popularity from allrepparttar 145556 losers ofrepparttar 145557 competition too.
