Source 2: Previous Non-Buyers

Most prospects will not buy from you first time they hear about your product or service ...or first time they visit your web site. You can recover many of these lost sales with a follow up system.

Your follow up system can be as simple as contacting previous prospects occasionally with a new offer. Or it can be more complex such as distributing a weekly newsletter with topics related to your product or service.

Problem For Internet Marketers: Many visitors to your web site want what you offer - but they are not ready to buy right now. You cannot follow up with them if they click away from your site before you find out who they are and how to contact them.

The Solution: Post a complimentary offer on your site for something valuable to prospects in your targeted market. Deliver it only by email so you can capture email address of each visitor who requests it.

For example, offer a complimentary subscription to your email newsletter if you publish one. Otherwise, offer a special report, a source list or other valuable information they cannot get anywhere else.

Tip: Try to get each prospect's first name too. Use it to personalize your follow up messages. People cannot resist reading something when it is personally addressed to them.

Include existing customers and previous non-buyers in your marketing efforts. Both are a prime source for easy sales. And you don't have to spend money on advertising to get them.

In ending:

There`s just so much hype out there, and it`s easy to get "sucked in". We all want to believe that we can actually make promised 10`s of thousands of dollars within just a couple of weeks.

In reality, things like that just don`t happen. The only person who can possibly, if at all, make that amount of money, is program owner. At YOUR cost. Always remember, if it looks unbelievable, it probably is.

No matter what you market online, always do your homework before signing up for anything. It`s REALLY important to do a lot of research before you decide to pay out any money.

Don`t rely on just a couple of sources for information, find as many as you can. Check out lists and forums, see if they`ve got anything to say about program/product you`re considering.

Ask all your friends and contacts if they`ve heard anything, good or bad. Go to marketing chatrooms, see what people there have to say about it. Ask about everything you need answers to regarding product/program. You`ll be surprised at amount of information you can get.

Get in touch with owners, ask questions. If they`re elusive, or don`t answer you at all, then my advice would be to steer clear.

Above all: Never EVER use money you can`t afford to lose.
