Impossible, you say?

Not anymore! This article will describe four simple techniques that will allow you to run your business - and rake in cash - without even being present.

The first thing you need to do is arrange to accept credit cards on your website. Internet shoppers are impulsive, and want everything NOW. If they have to go offline to phone you, or write a check, fill out a form, address an envelope, go to post office, etc. ... many people won't bother.

Make it easy for them. With a merchant account, info is automatically processed - and cash can be directly deposited into your bank account. If you sell an informational product, your online customer can automatically download product once their credit card information is accepted.

For retail products, have a statement that says 'All orders will be shipped within 7 - 10 days.' That's long enough for a Caribbean vacation, isn't it?

If you haven't already done this, run, don't walk, to your nearest Merchant Account provider and get signed up. Expert Internet marketers claim that you can lose up to 60% of your potential business without accepting credit cards - but more importantly, it's first step to stepping away from all hard work you're doing - first step to FREEDOM, for YOU.

Still with me? Keep that Caribbean brochure handy, but here's resource #2 that will free you up to go on that vacation. . .

Here are some important areas where you need to use powerful headlines in your online marketing materials...

E-mail Signature lines:

Your e-mail sig. file should always be a compelling headline. Considering that email marketing is such a highly effective medium and it's used on a daily basis a powerful headline is a necessity. Extremely long signature files that scream out to a reader "I'm an ad and I'm trying to sell you something" are less likely to produce response that a short attention-grabbing headline will.

Banner Ads:

When creating banner ads one needs to keep in mind that its words being used that determine whether a banner will have a high click through ratio. Sure flashing graphics will draw people's attention towards banner but ultimately it's your use of words that will put people in clicking mode. A short and to point headline that delivers most important benefit of clicking on that banner is a must.

Search Engine Listings:

This is an area that is disregarded by many. Both title and description of your listing need very careful planning. Considering that these are basically headlines which people simply scan, your listing must stand apart from competition and demand attention. While being listed in top ten search results will bring in traffic... a top ten listing with powerful headlines used for both title and description is likely to be clicked on two or three times more frequently. The trick here is to craft your headlines in a way that includes important keywords but also continues to deliver ultimate benefit.

Articles:

If you publish articles in ezines, magazines, or newspapers, then an effective headline will ensure that article is read by a greater audience. If you're trying to deliver valuable information and want as many people to have that information as possible, then you should always include a well thought out headline and one that you might even use for a sales letter!
