10 Intriguing Ways To Propel Your Online Sales

Friday, August 5th, 2005

1. Add extra subjects to your web site. Most free

ad sites only allow you to submit your web site to

one category. This’ll allow you to submit it to many.

 

2. Increase the perceived value of your product by

making your offer scarce. You could use limited

time bonuses, low prices, low quantities, etc.

 

3. Find out your competitions’ weakness and use it

as your "Unique Selling Proposition". It’s the reason

why people buy your products and not theirs.

 

4. Sell your products or services to a specific niche

market. For example, instead of selling your fishing

book to all  fisherman, target it toward fly fisherman.

 

5. Test your advertising and marketing. You’ll save

time, money and big headaches promoting the right

offer to the right group of people.

 

6. Persuade visitors to buy your product by telling

them the future. Tell them what’ll happen with their

life in the future if they buy or don’t buy.

 

7. Offer a free trial of your product for a set period

of time. Don’t charge or bill them until they decided

to buy it. This’ll take away any risk they have.

 

8. Create other web sites that draw your initial target

audience. Then you can lead your prospects to your

main web site by linking to your other web sites.

 

9. Inform people about your site or freebie through

e-mail announce lists. You can find them by typing

"e-mail announce lists" in any search engine.

 

10. Tell your visitors what they can avoid by buying

your product or service will motivate them to buy.

They may want to avoid pain, fear, danger, etc.
