Ask any Marketing Guru and they will all agree...

"It's notrepparttar quantity of traffic that your site receives, it'srepparttar 144123 quality and how you turn that "visitor" into a buyer."

You know yourself there are tons of eBooks, eCourses and Reports covering how to write a profit pulling sales letter. Will that guarantee sales? There are no guarantees, however, yes, a good sales letter will definitely flip some of your visitors into buyers :o) But...

What aboutrepparttar 144124 visitors who don't buy right then?

Many of my clients have said "Well, that's ok, I've asked them to bookmark repparttar 144125 site and come back because I am constantly adding new things or new offers."

Great idea! I strongly suggest you always encourage a visitor to bookmark your site...however, stop and ask yourself two questions?

1. Do you want to leave it to chance that your visitor will actually bookmark your site?

2. Is there something I can put into place that will not leave it to chance?

Let me give you two examples of what I mean.

First, you are a member of an affiliate program. Some visitor's will read your letter and sign up onrepparttar 144129 spot some won't. You don't want to loserepparttar 144130 ones who won't, so you offer a free Report that they, once they provide their email address, will receive immediately.

You already know who your target market is...people who want to make money online. So you offer a Report or eCourse with that focus. They receive your 3-Day Report or 7-Day eCourse and now you are building rapport and trust. They like your information, have begun to trust you and through that consistent contact you are building a relationship. You have their email address and even after they have receivedrepparttar 144131 full Report/eCourse you can continue to follow up until they:
