You will always have competitors. You cannot control their activity. But you can minimize their impact on your business. Here are 3 ways you can position yourself to generate sales with little or no competition.

1. Use Unconventional Marketing Methods

Most businesses use same marketing methods as their competitors. Adapt some unconventional marketing methods to distinguish yourself from your competitors. Your unique marketing will attract more attention and get more sales.

For example, most online businesses only use online marketing methods to generate traffic to their website. By including some offline marketing, they can bypass heavy competition online and produce more traffic - and more sales.

Tip: Print your best small ad on a postcard and mail it to prospects in your targeted market. Postcards are inexpensive and easy to use. Most recipients will read a brief message on a postcard.

2. Uncover Overlooked Markets

You cannot avoid competition when you market to same prospects as your competitors. Look for some new niche markets you and your competitors overlooked. You may uncover a market you can dominate with little or no competition.

Revise your ads, web pages and other sales messages so they appeal specifically to unique interests and needs of prospects in your new niche market. For example, I recently spoke with a network marketer who singled out following 3 niche markets. She customized her sales approach for each market to emphasize a different major benefit.

First, I use Frontpage2000 almost exclusively and many web designers look down on FP.

They like either Dreamweaver or NetFusion, which I have never used. So I can't give you my opinion. But I will say my 4+ years of using FP2000 has been a love/hate relationship :o)

Love ease and speed you can create a page, hate added code and quirky nature of software.

But overall, it does job and if you want to see some examples I have done, go to:

Ok, I'm not that artistic but I like to keep them simple and easy to navigate. That is important as most surfers click, scan for a few seconds and either stay or click off. You need above all, CONTENT! For visitor or Search Engines.

The steps I take to create a one pager with FP2000:

1. Write content with Notepad, Word or any text editor

2. Open a new page in folder (on your computer) you will store your web site.
