More Tips and Tricks

This week I bring you 10 tips and tricks to profit from.....

1 Create two versions of your e-zine so people
can choose if they want ads included with it or not.
This'll attract the people who hate ads to subscribe.
You could also charge a subscription fee to the
e-zine without ads. This will make up for the lost
advertising revenue.

2 Create a long-term relationship with your entire
customer base. You can stay in touch with them
through an e-zine, with greeting cards, opt-in lists,
autoresponders, messages boards, chat rooms,
e-mail discussion lists, instant online messages, etc.
When you stay in touch, people don't forget about
your business.

3 When you write and give away a free e-book
you will become known as an expert. This will enable
you to gain people's trust and they will buy your main
product or service quicker. You may get offers
from other people wanting you to speak, consult,
coach, etc.

4 Give your new customers surprise free gifts. This
will increase their loyalty and give you more word-ofmouth
advertising. For example, your customer could
tell your friend, "I just ordered this new advertising
e-book and they gave five other e-books as surprise
bonuses! I really got a great bargain!"

5 Offer free classified ads on your web site that
expire after a particular time period. People will
revisit your web site over and over to resubmit.
You could have other things expire or be updated
so they will revisit, like e-books, articles, links,
software, message board postings, etc.

6 Design your site so it will be worth bookmarking.
Your visitors will bookmark your web site if it's full
of free, original content like articles, e-books, etc. You
could survey your target audience to see which web
sites or what type of sites they visit a lot. Then you
could place those links all in one section of your
web site. You could advertise it as a start page.

7 Give people a free subscription to your e-zine.
Almost everyone is publishing an e-zine nowadays
so it's important to give something extra with the
free subscription. You could offer a weekly
contest for new subscribers. For example, you
could say, "Subscribe And Have A Chance To Win
Our Latest Home Study Course!"

8 Create an extra revenue stream with your web
site's articles or content. Publish the first paragraph
of each article and charge people to read the rest.
You could also allow other authors to submit their
articles to make money. You would just share
the profits!

9 E-mail targeted e-zines and ask them to do a
joint venture with you. Ask them to run your ad and
in exchange they would get a percentage of the profits.
You would just have to get them to join your
affiliate program. To give them more incentive, you
could offer them a higher commission than the rest
of your normal affiliates.

10 Find a niche for your new free e-zine. There
are thousands of free e-zines; your e-zine needs to
be “extra-specialized” to attract new subscribers. It
could be the type of content you offer, like you interviewing
experts, having crosswords or word finds,
reviewing products, having a question/answer section,
etc.


All the best to your online success......
