I have been doing business online for eight years, as of this coming March, 2002. Here are repparttar

"Top Ten" methods I have used and which anyone can use, to increase traffic to your web site and email to your inbox:

1. Create an Email Signature File.

Every email you send will show people who you are, what you are doing online and where you can be contacted on repparttar 125106 Internet. Keep it short but informative. For more on Email Signature Files, visit our web page :

Many people will tell you those online ads, either classifieds or FFA link sites, are a waste of time.

But there is a strategy that can yield you a steady and consistent flow of "QUALIFIED BUYERS". I revealed this strategy to my FBCN subscribers last July with an article entitled:

4. Apply for a Web Site Award.

Setting Out Bait Online

Written by Marcia Yudkin

In 1995 I created and distributed a free document called Frequently Asked Questions about Freelance Writing, or repparttar

Freelance Writing FAQ. (http://www.yudkin.com/flfaq.htm) I've updated it several times since then and allowed anyone to post it at their Web site without a fee. That FAQ has done more than anything else to keep my 1988 book Freelance Writing for Magazines & Newspapers from HarperCollins in print. The last time I checked, my FAQ was posted at more than a dozen Web sites and linked from scores of others, as well as recommended in numerous books and magazines.

With repparttar 125105 maturing of repparttar 125106 Web, repparttar 125107 strategy of setting out free bait for your target market has become more and more powerful. Here's how and why it works, and some non-obvious ways to make repparttar 125108 most of repparttar 125109 bait you create.

On repparttar 125110 Internet, people are ravenous for information. Correspondingly, lots of sites find it in their interest to point their visitors to repparttar 125111 best resources available in their topic area. If you can create a mostly unpromotional informational piece and make it available with minimal strings attached, you'll find complete strangers publicizing and distributing it to your benefit. Really!

In a nutshell, start by asking what data or advice would be of value to repparttar 125112 group of people you want to attract as product buyers or clients. Search to see what's already available on that topic, so you don't spend your energy satisfying a thirst that's already been slaked. Create something authoritative on repparttar 125113 topic that unobtrusively establishes you, your company or your product as serving that market. Then set out your bait online with explicit permission for people to spread it widely. Keep your piece updated and every once in a while search for new takers, and then enjoy repparttar 125114 results.

I concocted my FAQ after interviewing a law student named Terry Carroll who said that his FAQ on copyright law had made him a minor celebrity with respect to repparttar 125115 topic and helped him land his first job as an attorney. Since I'd been teaching classes on freelance writing for years, I knew all questions beginning writers had, and their answers. Following repparttar 125116 format of other FAQs I looked at, I organized 24 commonly asked questions into five categories and did my best to keep repparttar 125117 answers concise.
