- Give away a follow-up email course or a series of articles on an auto-responder. Include your offer with each lesson. Multiple exposures to your offer increase your chances of making sale.

- Try revamping your classified ads so they don't sound so much like an ad and more like an invitation. Don't try to make sale right off bat. Try giving something away instead. Anything you can think of to get prospect to respond or take action. Then lead them to sale.

- Have a website, make it sticky. The longer a visitor sticks around your website, greater chance they will buy. Do this by running a contest, adding surveys, posting articles and tips or giving them a list of resources and tools. Give people a good reason to hang around and bookmark your site and you will get more sales.

- Your business is slow but you still need to advertise. To help cover cost try splitting cost of online advertising and marketing by partnering with a similar, non-competing business. You would both put up half cost or simply swap ads even articles.

- Go hunting for some free press coverage. Think of a good way to get your business in news. Do this by hosting a community event or donating your product or services to local community or senior center. I just read about one lady who built her whole catering business on fact that she donated her pastries to local chamber of commerce events! And another man let local youth center paint a mural on wall of his office building. You know media was all over him. See, simple ideas can go a very long way.

There are many more things you can do just use your imagination. One time I had a name your own price sale on some of my less popular products and it worked out great. So morel of this story is don't let a slump get you down just come up slugging and your win every time.

Many of these programs give you hits for free if you join their service. This is not most important part but who can resist if they offer you 50 or 100 hits to your site for free, just for joining ?

Does Your Website Sell .... Are You "In The Money" ?

Unless you are using a kind of collecting mechanism to get email addresses by giving away free reports or something of similar value, you will not be "in money". The topics that work best are somehow related to getting traffic. Because that is why other site owners are viewing your site. After all, they want to get traffic TO THEIR OWN SITE !

They don't view all these other pages to buy everything they come across. You have to make your best offer and use your best headline to get people responding. And most important, you need a page that loads completely within 10 seconds. And then you have another 10-20 sec. to let them become interested in your offer or they click to next page to get more credits.

Finally, Too Good To Be True ? Autohits Without Clicking...

There is a "new" startpage program called Autohits (http://autohits.4use.dk). You don't have to click anything to be for- warded to next page. This means, once you have started, you will be transferred to first site automatically and sites change every 20 seconds.

I consider this to be very dangerous because actually, you can start this program, go out for a walk and earn credits without really viewing other people's websites !

You don't even have to use it in foreground window, you can let it run in background. But if everyone does so, you'll have no real people watching your site but only computers. You don't have to be active to view next site, so there's no guarantee that sites will be viewed by real persons.

These credits/hits would be totally worthless, in my opinion. It's a waste of bandwidth. If this new trend continues, startpage programs will have same effect like posting to FFA-pages : NONE !
