The Seven Secrets of a High-Sales MarketerWritten by Raynay Valles
If you want to boost your website sales to next level, you've got to think and act like a high-sales marketer. Here's how:1. Think sales not just traffic. Pay-per-click advertising is a great way to pull targeted traffic. Could anything be better? In many cases, pay-per-SALE advertising is a better choice. With pay-per-clicks, you may or may not make sales. With a pay-per-sale arrangement, there's very little or even NO risk. You only pay when you make sales. Affiliate programs and joint ventures are examples. Set up deals where you pay only for each sale. 2. Persuade traffic become customers. Be sure your website is doing best sales job it can. Does your website persuade 1 percent of visitors to become customers? Can it do better? This is most overlooked yet easiest way to build sales. If you change your website and it converts 2 percent of visitors to buyers instead of previous 1 percent, you've doubled sales. Make your website persuade better. 3. Capture prospects. When a visitor comes to your website, he or she wants something. Yet, 98 out of 100 visitors will click away from your website without buying. If you can't make sale, at least get them to give you their email addresses. You do this by offering a newsletter or free report. Once you do this, you have a list of prospects to contact systematically. You can make sales to them in future and without much expense.

Let me explain you how than can be and what you can do to protect yourself from commission loss... The other day a good marketing friend of mine, let's call her Eva, send me an email, telling me about a service that she believed me to be interested in... and in fact, I was. She wrote: "If you want to take a look, link is: http://www.more4you.ws/mon" When I followed her URL, I noticed on that page, that her affiliate ID was missing on main page, as well as on order form page. Since I wanted her to get credit for this, I emailed Eva: "Your link will not earn you commissions as your affiliate ID doesn't show at http://www.monopolizer.com/. I recommend to use a forwarding link instead of placing site into a frame." She answered me that it worked fine when she followed link herself. How was that possible you ask? Very simple. When she originally got affiliate link, she must have used link one time directly and this way saved cookie on her computer. So I replied to Eva: "I checked it again... if I visit their site through http://www.more4you.ws/mon, your ID is not shown anywhere. But if I visit it through http://www.monopolizer.com/index.php?affiliateID=249040817 I can see your ID everywhere. In general... cookie based systems often have a problem if you place site into a HTML frame on another domain." This time Eva replied to me: "Well that's got me stumped...
