And like most online entrepreneurs, you probably know how depressing it can be to have spent your life savings on your site or products & have no one buy from your site.

But how do you get someone to buy from your site? There are many answers to this question, but let's discuss top three: merchant account, right products & a web site!

Well everyone knows in order to make sales online, you need a merchant account, without it you won't make a single sale!

But what most online entrepreneurs fail to realize is that 30% of online consumers still prefer to use checks online. I don't know about you, but 30% is a lot to me. Make sure you accept both credit cards & checks! Next are right products.

Most Internet marketing programs today, instruct you how to market your products & make sales. What programs fails to tell you are which products will sell online. To determine if your product(s) will sell online, ask yourself these three questions:

1. Does it fill a need or solve a problem? 2. Does it have worldwide appeal? You are on net! 3. Is it available at store? If it is, is it cheaper?

Costs are still same, but sales are lagging. This alone is bad enough for your business, aside from depression that could set in and cause you to be less productive.

So to step aside from that and get your business back to creating type of income that you are used to, even when people just aren't spending as much, here are a few tactics to create instant surges of cash, with very little work.

1. Run a "clearance" sale

This is an easy one. Simply run a special sale on one of your products. Here are a few ideas:

- We're Over-stocked so you can order at 20% off...

- The manufacturer gave us a good deal, so we are passing savings on to you...

- We have a warehouse full of already-opened, but perfectly normal products that we are going to sell for half off..Only 54 units are available...

2. Offer an extra bonus

Here is a simple idea. Create a new, exclusive bonus to offer to everybody who orders within a certain time frame.

This bonus can be an audio interview with a recognized industry expert, a special report, a new gadget, whatever.

Tell them that they can get this special new bonus if they order within 5-15-20 (or however long you want to give them) days from today.

If your bonus is of high value, many people will order your product just to get bonus. Either way, you still get sale.

3. Joint venture to increase value

You can joint venture with a complimentary product owner and offer each others products as a package for same price.

So if I sell a product for say $39, and you sell one for $39, my traffic and your traffic can get both products for $39 if they order within a certain time frame.

This is more drastic, but *definitely* gives you an instant surge of new orders. You can usually get these kinds of deals quickly when JV partner sees instant potential it can have.
