Are you looking for more visitors to your site? Of course you

are!!!

There are so many ways to promote your business. These days it's

hard to decide which methods are best for your business. One

thing that holds true to all sites is to write about what your

most pationate about! No i'm not talking about writing a sales

copy, those articles probably will never be published!

I'm saying that you write about what you do best. See, we all do

a couple things in life really good! I'm sure you are really

good at what you do and you have learned from experience what is

effective and in-effective for your product or service.

So many marketing firms do this, why don't you???

It's a known fact that marketing firms usually become

professionals at writing online copy. Like so many, they

understand that by writing many articles on marketing, they

become professional in readers eyes! By becoming

professional in your readers eye, they may think highly of you

and will want to visit your site to read more and more...

Let's say for instance your business is "Gidjet x" and you know

that there is a site out there that would benefit from having

your product listed. Well this site just happens to have a

newsletter that sends out a copy every month!

What you want to do is write a helpful tip that you feel

readers of this newsletter will greatly benefit. Once you have

writen your article, send an e-mail to webmaster of site

explaining that you wrote an article that you feel their

reader's will greatly appreciate reading. All that you have to

ask is that your "Author Information" remain within article,

just like one I have at bottom of this article!

What should I include in article? Well honestly, anything but an advertisement!

You don't win your Web site visitors' trust right away. It may take from 4-7 visits before they buy. You must always give them a reason to buy, and not offend them in any way because they will ricochet to other sites. Here's some ways to get people to keep coming back to your site:

1. Upload new, original, and useful content often.

On every Web page put a notice: "Bookmark Our Site". We update material weekly. Then deliver your promise and upload those free articles, book excerpts and tips. Blatant ads such as banners turn visitors off. Give them original information they can't find anywhere else.

2. Give information away for free.

People want and expect free information on your Web site. After realizing your value as an expert, they will start to trust you, and eventually buy from you.

3. Publish your own ezine.

Target it to your specific audience. If you help people find best career for them, collect emails from people looking to change careers.

Start with a monthly ezine, then see if you can do it bi-weekly. If you don't stay in regular touch with your possible buyers they will forget you and your products. People want to connect Online so they can trust you as their savvy friend. If they like your ezine they will recommend it to others.

4. Give people a reason to go to your site.
