3. Choose an article you've written that outlines several key points on a particular topic. Write an in depth, expanded article on each key point. Contact all publishers on your list and offer them expanded key point articles and ask them to run them as a series. A series of articles is much more effective than a single article because each potential customer needs to be exposed to you and your business several times before becoming a customer.

4. Take original article and expanded key point articles and offer them as an e-course to people who visit your site and sign up for your e-zine. Use a free autoresponder like http://www.sendfree.com to deliver articles in sequence. This gives you opportunity to capture e-mail addresses for your e-zine and allows you to use a different by-line highlighting your services and products with each article delivery.

Use these four tips every time you've finished submitting an article and you will get thousands of additional targeted visitors to your web site with just a little extra effort!

Permission to publish on-line or in print is granted so long as article and by-line are printed intact.

This page should contain your photo, a short (or long) biography, as well as complete contact information. Nothing builds walls between you and a potential customer/client like inadequate contact information.

I feel that these types of contact methods are essential to operation of a valid business, on and/or off Internet. E-Mail Address: Actual Physical Street Address: Phone Number: Fax Number:

If you don't reply to any of these contact methods in a timely manner you're wasting your time on net, you'll never build type of relationship that will result in a successful business.

This is also place for testimonial's or a prominent link to your "Testimonial's Page."

Are you passionate about something related to your product or industry you're in? Good! Put your feelings in writing and show your visitor you do have feelings. A cold, sterile site can get very boring very fast. Use your imagination and don't bore your visitors off your site.

That does not mean you blast them with music or 50 flashing, spinning, and bouncing graphics.

The ones that will succeed in long run are those that aren't just out for a quick sale, they are ones who are attempting to build a business and develop lasting relationships with ALL of their site visitors. That is both their customers/clients and those that aren't customers/clients YET!

As I have said in hundreds of training sessions you MUST sell yourself before you ever begin selling your other products.
