Promoting Your Product and Increasing Sales - 7 Secrets to Know
By Linda Keefe
Do you want to make money with online marketing, but are frustrated because sales are not what you want them to be? You have one or more products, but they're not flying off the shelf. So, the question is, what is the best way to get people to buy?
Here's a seven step system that works. You'll want to use multiple ways to gently, and consistently, introduce your product to those who are interested in what you have to offer.
When you think about it, it's a lot like gardening: you plant a seed (the product) and then nurture and care for it until it blossoms. You don't just walk away from it, letting it fend for itself. People often do that with their products. They put them on the shelf (or on the web) and then leave them, expecting them to sprout revenue all by themselves.
So, get busy and start nurturing your crop of products in these seven places:
* Step #1: Thank You Page. Your first chance to introduce a product is when someone signs up to be in your list. The thank you page that immediately follows the OptIn page and delivers the "free gift" you promised, is a great place to add a small product statement such as, "If you like this, you may also be interested in . . .". Make the last few words a link to your product long letter page.
* Step #2: Auto-responding Message. Once people sign up for your ezine, make sure the initial auto-responding message they receive includes another phrase similar (or identical) to the one above such as, "If you want to move forward quickly, check out this tool". Again, make the final part of the sentence a link to the description page of your product.
* Step #3: A Product Message. Then have a second message that goes out in the auto-responder immediately -- and make it all about your product. Keep it short and to the point. Don't tell everything you know, but rather entice them to click on the link to the long letter that asks them to buy.
* Step #4: An Ezine's Recommend Section. Write a brief paragraph about what your product can do for the reader, emphasizing the benefits. Put it in a special section at the end of the ezine, under a title such as The Maven Recommends or Linda Recommends. Be sure to arouse curiosity, so the reader will want to click on a link to the long letter describing your product. You don't want to succumb to describing the product in the ezine itself.
* Step #5: Free Teleseminar. The best way to sell product is to talk to a prospect in a live situation so you can build trust, respect and excitement. And if you can, do an event. But the next best way to develop relationships, is to offer free teleseminars. People hear your voice, your style, your personality. They are much more inclined to make that decision to buy.
* Step #6: Solo Emails. You use solo emails (single messages to send to your list -- also known as broadcasts) as a way to promote the teleseminar and to follow up after it -- to continue reminding the attendees of the product they can buy from you. Send three to five announcing the teleseminar, with another three to five afterward, spacing them out over a week or two.
* Step #7: Website Listing Products. Once you have people opting into your list, you want them to be able to see all the products you have available. Create a simple website that has links to the long letters for each of the items you offer. Keep posting that web site in the promotions that you send as a credit so that folks can find your stuff easily when they are ready. Remember though, don't send new people to this website, always funnel them through your option page.

FREE and Powerful Way to Promote Your Website Through Link Exchange
By Ivana Katz
What is a Link Exchange?
Link exchange is an extremely powerful marketing strategy whereby a website owner exchanges links and banners with websites that have similar content.
Why should I exchange links?
There are several reasons that you should exchange links with other businesses.
Results in search engines are determined by the material you have presented on your site and by other off-page factors such as how many other sites link to your website. The more links you have pointing to your site from relevant websites, the higher your site will rank.
Exchanging links will drive valuable targeted traffic to your website when visitors follow a link from your link partners.
Your website will become a valuable resource for your visitors, as it will provide information they need. They may return to your site over and over to find more information.
How do I request links?
First, find websites whose business complements yours and add their website to your links/resource page. Rather than just placing a simple link, it's a good idea to also include the business name, brief description and logo if possible.
Once the link is on your website contact the company and ask for a reciprocal link. For example if you are a wedding dress designer, you could contact businesses that sell wedding cakes, jewellery, flowers and also venues, celebrants etc.
Types of link exchanges
1. One-way Links
One way links are links that point to your site from others, but which are not linked to from your website. Google and many other search engines include link popularity as part of the way they evaluate and rank websites. Links are seen as a positive "vote" towards the quality of the website. As such, the more links from other relevant websites to yours, the better.
One way to get great links to your website is to submit articles and PR releases to other websites and article/news directories or use Social Bookmarking and Social Networking websites.
2. Reciprocal Links
Reciprocal links, also known as 'link swaps', 'link exchanges' and 'link partners' are two way links between two websites. They not only drive traffic to your website, but also help with search engine ranking.
It is particularly important to exchange links with websites that have a high Page Rank. Page Rank is a value that Google gives to a web page based on the importance of the page that is determined by the number of incoming links to that web page. You can see your website's Page Rank on the Google Toolbar, which can be downloaded from:
http://toolbar.google.com
3. Triangular OR Three Way Links
Three way link is whereby Website 1 links to Website 2 who links to Website 3 who links to Website 1 and so on. The ultimate goal is to never have two websites link to each other, which is considered reciprocal linking and less effective in boosting search engine rankings.
Link exchanges are very important if you want to drive quality traffic to your website and help rank your website at the top of the search engines. Although it can be time consuming, link exchanging is very powerful. If you have limited time, you can employ the services of a link exchange company. Simply search for "link exchanging" in your favourite search engine.

How to Make a Quick Buck Online
By Roger Haisley
"Make money online" - Type those words in any search engine and millions of search results appear. And is there any wonder? Not only is the prospect of making money from the comfort of your own home extremely appealing but it should also be noted that the internet is a very powerful commercial tool that is available to virtually everyone. There are many ways to make money online, Here I'll highlight the quickest and easiest methods.
Affiliate Marketing
Well this is definitely one of the easiest ways to make some quick cash online. You don't need to have your own product or service, you just find a company that offers a product that is in high demand and focus on selling as an affiliate for that company, it really is quite straight forward. To find which products are of high demand consider using keyword popularity tools such as Wordtracker. Some of the top affiliate networks include Commission Junction, LinkShare & ClickBank (my personal favorite). Affiliate marketing tied in with a well planned pay per click advertising campaign is definitely one of the easiest and most exciting ways to make money online.
Selling Advertising Space
If you already have a website that gets a reasonable amount of visitors per day, this is a great option. You can probably realize why this is easy money, you do no work; you just collect the advertising fees . If you do have a website it may also be wise to consider allowing Google to place ads on your page, this is called AdSense and you earn money every time someone clicks an ad on your website. Now if you happen to have a number of high traffic websites you can actually make a small fortune from AdSense alone.
Paid Surveys
Here's another quick money maker. Of course there are some people who don't favor this method, but if you know what you're doing you can make a good amount of cash by doing paid surveys and it usually won't take up much time. Many people don't make enough use of this method, however I highly recommend it.
Well...what are you waiting for: pick a method and go launch your campaign today!
