Show your customers that you appreciate them. It's little things that matter. Like a friendly voice and prompt courteous service. Going that extra mile to make them feel special. You can create a huge following of loyal customers just by being nice.

But don't stop there. The possibilities are endless. Have you ever been to a nice hotel where they leave a chocolate on your pillow? Now that chocolate only cost them a few pennies but it made your experience nicer. It made you remember their hotel above others.

How about customer reward programs. Sales will soar when you tell your customers that they will get one free after they purchase three. A free gift with every purchase. Every one likes presents.

Customer appreciation days, sales and specials. Hold an event throw a party just for customers that you have done business with before. Make them feel special, like they matter, that they are important to you. Then watch your business reap rewards.

Here are 5 techniques that will dramatically add active prospects to your list.

1.Submit articles around web regarding your niche and have your biography link go to an opt-in page. You'll be amazed at how well this technique works in building a list.

2. Pay per click is easiest way to immediately begin getting traffic. Send all of your paid traffic directly to your opt-in page, then have person land on a page that pre-sells product they were looking for. Make sure to test this, sometimes your conversions on front-end can fall, but they will increase over time.

3. I have found Ezine ads are a great way to quickly and cost effectively boost my list. Write an ad promising a "free membership or information" and send traffic to an opt-in page.

4. Viral marketing takes some time to kick in but can be extremely effective! Other affiliates will spread your message across Internet and display links to your opt-in page.

5. Over longer term use linking strategy this option is a bit more work, so only use it once you have tested and know that you have a winner. Start trading links with related websites and you will see a great boost in traffic.

If you don’t see immediate results don’t give up, persevere and you will make it, but only if you don’t quit! Understand that you should be building a long-term affiliate business with related residual income streams and not just something that makes you a few dollars per sale. If for any reason you stop advertising, you want to be in position to still have a solid business with a good income.
