Do you want to continue joint ventures? Were you making money on all these pop-up windows?

There are other ways to cross promote without abusing pop-up windows:

- Try a Resource Center on your site. Do link exchanges with other businesses. Even charge some money for a leading sponsor of your resource center. You can promote this on your main page, or even have one small pop-up window reminding your potential client to visit your resource center.

- Design your site with a column to left or right that you can trade links with other businesses and add them to your main page on columns. This is eye catching, and much less annoying then tons of pop-up windows

These are just a couple things you can do to get rid of those pop-up windows. Do you realize how many businesses are losing customers by abusing these pop-up windows? It will astound you.

If you DO over use pop-up windows, please get rid of them, and if you don't use them but are thinking about it in order to gain promotion, DON'T DO IT.

We all want to attract customers and get them to surf our site. The best way to do this is to keep it simple. Have easy navigation and no distractions. People know what they want and what they are looking for. That is why they are at your site in first place. Do not make it confusing for them.

Part Three. Add some specific benefits with a personal approach:

Sample: I can help you answer questions about your book.

- What are first steps to writing a great selling book? - Will my book attract my desired audience? - Do my potential buyers know they need my book and it's worth money? - Will my books sell enough copies for my satisfaction? - How should I publish my book? - Now that it's written, how can I best promote my book?

Part Four. Add a WOW testimonial.

Sample: "Save yourself from headaches, disappointments, and money down drain. Read Write Your eBook or Other Short Book-Fast! before you write another word. Judy puts you on fastest track to publishing success." Marcia Reynolds, M. A., M.Ed. Past president of International Coach Federation Author of How to Outsmart Your Brain http://www.covisioner.com

Part Five. Use a Testimonial or Give Away Free eBooks for your Ezine.

Your visitors will also say, "Who cares?" For you to convince them they must have your ezine, add a testimonial from a well known expert in your field. An even better idea that boosts my subscribers to 25 a day is to include a free eBook or report.

Sample: Dan Poynter's testimonial below: "Chock full of nuts and bolts on book writing, publishing, and marketing. Definitely worth your time."

Offer Free report if people subscribe to your ezine.

Sample: Send an email to Subscribe@bookcoaching.com The Book Coach Says... includes 2 free eReports
