Now that they've been to your website, trick is to keep them coming back. That's why you MUST have an opt-in mailing list. With your own opt-in list, you can substantially boost your sales by using sequential autoresponders to follow-up with potential customers. A sequential autoresponder sends a pre-written email, on a pre-set day, to anyone who opts-in to your subscriber list. You set how many emails to send, and how many days apart to send them, and autoresponder takes care of rest.

Research indicates that it often takes up to eight exposures to an offer (or more!) before a person will act. The more someone sees your offer, more they start to trust you. By continually and automatically following up with your leads, you can increase your sales by up to 400%!

You can get an excellent autoresponder at: http://www.getresponse.com/index/45706

With GetResponse, there are no other links in your emails except yours, so there's nothing to distract your customer away from your offer. You also get unlimited follow-up emails, so you can send as many as you want for months or even years!

Remember, your subscriber list is your life-blood in marketing. They are loyal ones who trust you and want to see what you have to offer. Treat them well, and don't take advantage by over-emailing them. You don't want to become a pest.

If you want to make money online, you have to get people to your website, and once you get them there, you have to get them to join your mailing list. The only way to do that is through constant promotion. Test your ads and track results and you'll be able to generate steadily flowing sales! That is key to internet success!

The two most common ways to accept credit card payments online are either by opening your own merchant account, or using one of many third-party services available. There are advantages and disadvantages to each.

Most banks offering merchant accounts require set-up fees. These fees vary from bank to bank, and can be very expensive. In addition, you are required to pay monthly maintenance fees once account is established.

Using services of a third-party processor enables you to accept all major credit cards online without a merchant account. There are no monthly fees, and many third-party processors offer free set up.

For those just starting out, third-party processors are, by far, easiest and cheapest route. You can be up and running within 48 hours, taking orders and accepting credit cards.

There are numerous companies online willing to accept credit cards on your behalf and, like banks, their fees and services can vary drastically. Two of most popular third-party processors available are ClickBank and PayPal. Both are easy to apply to and offer similar features.

The advantage of PayPal is instant deposits into your account and no signup fees. ClickBank holds your funds for 30 days and requires a one-time $50 sign-up fee. The biggest advantage of ClickBank though, is its affiliate tracking feature. It allows you to implement your own affiliate program, an valuable feature to many marketers.

Affiliate programs are perhaps most powerful promotional tool you could ever use. You recruit people to promote your product for you by offering them a commission on sales. You decide how much, but higher commission, more motivated they'll be to promote your product, and that means more sales for you. It also means you only pay for performance. No more wasted advertising dollars!

For Internet merchants, there isn't much choice but to accept credit cards. Applying for an account is fast and easy, and almost everyone is approved within 48 hours. There's really no excuse to not start your own business. The obsticles have been removed. The only thing that stands between you and financial freedom is yourself.
