The One & ONLY Objective Your Website Should Follow!

Written by Chris Elliott

Now I first want to let everyone know that this is not an opinion or some fluff about what your website should be doing. It is what your website MUST be doing to guarantee your success online. There are so many "so called" experts out there that say you should be using your site to make sales, NO NO NO! This is absolutely wrong! The number one, and yes I really mean number one purpose of your site should be to collect e-mail addresses! Why should you do this? What if your prospect doesn't doesn't order and leaves your site? Where are you then? Out of a potential sale!

The key point here is you can have a sales page or freebies page but you need a way to collect e-mail addresses for people who decide not to take you up on your offer repparttar first time around, a second chance if you will. The correct way to do this would be with a popup window when repparttar 121925 visitor leaves your site without ordering, because if they order you've already got their e-mail address. In this popup you should have some sort of freebie, a free ebook, a free consultation, a free 3 chapter preview, you get repparttar 121926 point. If you can get an e-mail address you can follow up using an autoresponder and this will give you as many chances as you need to close repparttar 121927 sale.

Another thing you need to realize is repparttar 121928 stream of income your e-mail list will provide you for many years to come. If you didn't have an e-mail collection system in place and you received orders for a product you where promoting then that's repparttar 121929 end of repparttar 121930 line for you with that customer. Now, if you where collecting repparttar 121931 e-mail addresses of all of your customers and you started promoting a great new product, you would now be able to send this proven customer a new offer and since you've already proven your credibility with repparttar 121932 first sale, repparttar 121933 second sale will be MUCH easier to close. Do you see where all of this e-mail collection really determines your success online?
