Advertise your great reputation in ezines, on your website, on other websites, in banner ads, in text ads and on discussion boards. Use testimonials from satisfied customers to boost your credibility when you tell world all about your great reputation.

Once you have started to gain a good reputation, how do you keep it? At a minimum, do following:

1. Provide a quality product or service: This should be obvious but some may need to hear it. If your product breaks on first use or if your service stinks then there’s no way to gain a great reputation. Customers know when they have been scammed and they will let everyone else know it too.

2. Provide quality customer service: Reply promptly to all customer problems and requests for assistance.

3. Give refunds: If you absolutely can’t satisfy customer then refund his money in a prompt and courteous manner.

4. Conduct follow up customer surveys: Ask customers to complete a survey regarding your product or service. Make sure to include space on survey for general comments. Pay close attention to statements made in this section. If a customer goes out of her way to write it out then it is important information.

5. Donate to charity: If your budget allows, make a point of donating a percentage of your profits to a worthy cause. Make sure you advertise this fact as much as possible. People love to feel that they are helping others.

You really should try suggestions you’ve read in this article. After all, as you may know, I have a fabulous reputation in online community.

Keep Learning and Keep Promoting!

The meat of Sampler came next. I used a excerpt from one of stories in book, just a short few- page passage to whet appetite of potential horror readers. By that point, I was hoping reader would be hooked, but for good measure added a page of review excerpts and a listing of other five books I had available. I capped it off with another placement of ordering url and a brief author bio, then hit PDF button. (If your don't have adobe software, Adobe offers five free conversions on their site: www.adobe.com)

I would suggest trying to keep file as small as possible, so you can send it a number of places and not ask too much of receiver's time for downloading. Big files can be intimidating, especially on machines using lower BPS modems. Once finished, offer your Sampler free to anyone interested. Uploaded it to your webpage, and offer it in press releases.

Anyone interested in taking a peak at mine and using it as a blueprint can download it straight from my homepage in ebook section (http://howardhopkins.com) or request it from me at Yingko2@AOL.com.
