2. Turn your ad into an article. It could be a story, or how-to article. This will lead them into your ad without them knowing it's an ad. They'll already be interested when they get to your sales pitch.

3. Make sure you show your reader that they are getting a bargain. Tell them usual price you sell your product for is $99. Then tell them if they order today they can buy it for $69.95.

Why You Cannot Afford to Be An Anti-Social Internet Marketer

Anti-social internet marketing is a critical flaw that will destroy even best, most creative sales strategies. If you do not build relationships and follow up on them--through personal interaction and automation--you will spend most of your time either a) repeating trivial tasks that can either be completed exponentially faster with help of other people or b) plodding away on a course that will never result in sales conversions.

Building and maintaining marketing relationships will help you do following:

1. Avoid wasting time and money on outdated products and services that are no longer valid in internet marketing world.

2. Create massive contact lists of people who trust you and want to buy your products and follow your advice.

3. Diversify and maximize your sources and quantities of leads.

4. Setup joint ventures that will generate immediate sales for you and add potential buyers to your long-term customer database.

5. Explode your backend sales from follow-ups.

6. Increase your credibility with potential buyers.

Many internet marketers fail to realize that personal interaction is in fact catalyst that allows internet businesses to make that jump from expensive to profitable. Rather than seeking this medium to boost their sales, they assure themselves that internet is an isolated, anti-social medium, where people do not need connections to succeed.

Again, this is a critically-flawed system of thinking. Without personal connections, you will not succeed with any internet business.

Here are some ways you can increase your sales conversion numbers by integrating personal interactions into your marketing strategy (you may already use some of these):

1. Keep your reciprocal links directory--but also actively seek links for your main page and your other content pages. You can do this by finding related websites on search engines and then personally emailing webmasters. Explain what you like about website--and how your link would fit in with what they sell. Also include where you plan to link back to their site.

Make sure all of your emails are personal. Do not make it look like you sent out some spam robot to hammer every webmaster with flattering, form-letter reciprocal link requests. This will not work.
