Use Online Diaries Instead Of Testimonials

Have your customers publish an online diary instead
of giving you a testimonial. The diary would include
regularly updated entries of how customers are using
your product to improve their life. You could give
customers a free product or a rebate in exchange for
them publishing it online.

Your customers could write diary entries about goals
they have reached using your product, the positive
emotions it's given them, the fears and worries your
product has taken out of their lives, how bad their
lives were before they bought it, how it has helped
other people in their lives, etc.

Your customers could update it daily, weekly or
monthly. It will depend on how often they use your
product. You could publish the diary right in your
ad or link directly to the diary. You could provide
the people with web space for writing the online
diary or have them e-mail you the diary entries for
you to publish.

You can make the online diary extra persuasive by
also including customer's personal profile, pictures,
online video of them using your product, net audio
of them talking about your product, even scanned
handwritten letters, etc.

An online diary would likely outsell the common
testimonial because it's updated on a regular basis
and reveals more personal information. A diary is
considered private which would make people more
curious to read it and believe it's legitimacy.

There are many ways how you can earn with your website (without selling anything). But what if you don't know about SEO and no matter how hard you read articles about it you still don't get what it has to do in increasing your site's traffic. There are some things that are not for you.. Why not leave that to the experts?

There is an SEO company who offers services like designing SEO friendly websites and Pay Per Click Marketing. You can browse through their SEO articles to find out more of their SEO services - the latest news and tips on how to maximize your website's earnings.

This company is based in Leeds. SEO professionals is what they are and they spend their days figuring out what keywords best suit your website. They study thoroughly the keywords that people usually search in. Being on top of the search result (or on the first page of the search result of search engines) means more people can find you. And if people find your website, means more visits, hence traffic.


Increase your traffic without doing anything. If you're in UK or anywhere in the world, just leave your SEO needs in Leeds.

How To Use Bundling To Increase Your Profits And Sales

An effective way to increase your profits and sales is
to bundle many products or services together into one
package. This gives people more reasons to buy your
products and services. People also have come to
believe package deals are a better value. You want
all the products or services to be closely related. For
example: if you're selling a computer you could add in
software, hardware, computer furniture, etc.

There are many ways to go about choosing the right
products or services to bundle into one package. You
could survey your customers and see what products
or services they would like you to offer in the future.
Spy on your competition and see what products and
services they're offering or not offering. If you would
like to, bundle unrelated products or services together,
ask your customers which ones would be of interest
to them.

Bundling can also increase your target markets which
in return would give you a larger audience to sell your
products and services. For example: if you're selling a
baseball magazine you could add a free baseball when
someone buys a subscription. You're now targeting
people who want the baseball magazine and those that
want to play baseball out in the yard. Some people
buy a package deal just to get one of the products.

There are many sources where you can find products
and services to create a package deal. You can buy
them from wholesalers or drop shippers. You can
buy the reproduction/resell rights to other people's
products. Team-up with your competition to create
a package deal. You could joint venture or cross
promotion deal with other businesses. You could also
create your own products and services. Be creative!

How To Increase Your Target Markets

Are your products or services geared towards only one
target market? You can increase sales and profits by
increasing your target markets. Below are some creative
ways to increase your target markets by using your existing
products and services you're selling right now.

REDESIGN

You can increase your target markets by redesigning your
products and services. For example: you're selling a book
called "Internet Marketing Tips For Accountants" You
could rewrite part of your book and call it "Internet
Marketing Tips For Lawyers". You've now increased your
target markets by redesigning your book.

ADD-ON

You can increase your target markets by adding on other
product or service with your main one. For example: if
you're selling a football magazine you could add a free
football when someone buys a subscription. You're now
targeting people who want the football magazine and those
that want to play football out in the yard. Sometimes they
buy stuff just to get the freebies.

TEAM-UP

You can increase your target markets by doing a cross
promotion with a similar non-competeing businesses. For
example: your business sells tennis rackets and you find
another business to cross promote with that sells tennis
balls. You could combine your racket and their balls in
one package. You are now targeting people that need
tennis rackets and balls.

How To Market Products

1. Offer to insert ads into your product package for other businesses.
Just ask, in return that they do the same for your business. You should only trade insert ads with businesses that have the same target audience.

2. Offer a free daily class in your web site's chat room.
The class should be related to the subject of your business or web site. This will get people
to visit your web site everyday.

3. Do you have a product that doesn't sell good?
Offer it as a free bonus for another businesses product or service. You'll get free advertising by
placing your web site or business ad on the free bonus.

4. Place different emotional response ads for the same product or service all over your web site.
One ad may hit their hot button to buy more than another ad.

5. Publish your e-zine in e-book format.
You could offer a larger number of articles per issue. It also allows you to include graphics with your ezine. Your advertising revenue would increase because you could charge businesses for large color ads.

auto responder and downloadable text format.

You can contact other business owners and ask
them if they would like to include their ad in your
ebook. Just ask them in return to advertise your
free ebook on their web site or in their e-zine for
a set period of time. This method will get your
