100 Outstanding tips you can use to grow your online business TODAY!
TIP 1: How to increase perceived value of your ebook. Ebooks are popping up every where. Many of these ebooks cover similar topics. That is perfectly acceptable since each author is writing from a different view point and may make points that are not brought up by similar ebooks. Even though it is perfectly acceptable to cover a topic already covered, you will need to make your ebook stand out from the crowd. Increasing the perceived value of your ebook is a great way to do this. How can you increase the perceived value? Well, a great way to increase the perceived value is through testimonials/endorsements of your ebook. This way your visitors can see that other marketers are pleased, they will probably be pleased also. It will help let them know that this is an ebook worth buying. It is not difficult to get testimonials for your ebooks. Who do you know online? Ask one of your fellow marketers if they would be willing to review your ebook and give their thoughts on it.Do you participate on discussion boards or groups? Tell the group you are needing testimonials for your new ebook and ask for their help. You will receive offers to review your ebook and they will provide you with testimonials. This is an easy way to get a few testimonials for your ebook. Ask them if they would mind their testimonial being listed on your site. Most will allow you to do so. When you list your testimonial on your site, never forget to offer the testimonial giver a thank you by linking to them. Simply add the testimonial and at the end use their name and URL.
TIP 2: Easy ways to make your article resource box stand out in ezines. If you are writing articles for publication in other ezines- great. I am sure you are aware of the great free advertising that can bring you. Since you are aware of how important your resource box is than you know how important it is to make it stand out in the ezine so that those who just scan over the issue will notice immediatly- right? Most often your resource box is set apart from the actual article by certain symbols that surround it. You can practically use any symbol on your keyboard- but it is important to realize that some symbols are stronger than others. That is to say that they are perceived as bold even if the type is not bold. You may opt to use something like this: ************************************************* So and so is web master of http://anysite.com and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, . *************************************************
Or perhaps: -----------------------------------------------------------------So and so is web master of http://anysite.com and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, .---------------------------------------------------------------But consider these possibilites: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------So and so is web master of http://anysite.com and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Or perhaps: """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' So and so is web master of http://anysite.com and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' Can you see how the second two resource boxes stand out much more? So before you decide on a certain symbol for your resource box- play around a little to come up with a pattern really noticable. :-)
TIP 3: Are you using your signature file? Most email programs will allow you to set up a signature file to be included with each out going email you send. These files are simply an explanation of you and your web site. Just by using a signature file you could be sending out your ad potentially hundreds of times per week. If not, you are missing out on those ads. Since these sig files are an acceptable form of advertising- you should be using them. There are many times you could be sending email that perhaps you are not taking advantage of. Do you submit free ezine ads? If so does the editor send out a confirmation of that ad? If sosend the editor a quick thank you for the ad. You have just indiscreetly also sent him your sig file. Reply to every article that is sent for possible conclusion in your ezine- even if you do not intend to publish it. Send a thank you note to the author. If you enjoyed an issue of an ezine you are subscribed to- let the editor know you enjoyed it.
If take these opportunities and others like them- your sig file will begin to travel fast!
TIP 4: How to turn all of your affiliates into top sellers. The best way to help all of your affilaites ell beter for you is to be creative in their advertising materials. Create a mini membership site for them to locaate which types of marketing materials they wish to use. Go beyond the normal, banners, ebooks, ads, and articles that are often articles (included them also) Try creating a mini private site that they can give away and create the site so they may sell through their affiliate link in the site. TIP 5: How to get more downloads for your free ebook. If you are using a free ebook for your viral marketing campaign, you want to get as many downloads as you can. There are a lot of free ebooks out there, competition is stiff. You will want to add a link to your free ebook on your site. It is also a good idea to list your free ebook at all of the free ebook directories on the net. Since your ebook is technically software, don't forget to list with the download sites. This may not be enough. Just like promoting an ezine or a web site, promoting your ebook takes effort on your part. It is unrealistic to expect people to find your ebook. You are going to have to make your ebook find them. How do you do that? Well here is something you can do to accomplish just that. Ask for help. Ezine editors have already built a strong lasting relationship with their subscribers. Their subscribers may be just the people you are trying to reach. See which ezines you are subscribed to right now. Email the editor explaining to them that you have just finished a great free ebook and ask them if they would be interested in announcing the free ebook to their subscribers. Why should they be interested in announcing your free ebook? Simple, in your email to them, offer to customize the ebook with their special affiliate URL for your affiliate program. I would take this one step further and let them know that you will also include a banner or ad for them on the first page. You win by the ezine announcement, they win by more exposure and possibly commissions from sales of your products. Everybody wins! Not every ezine editor will accept your offer, but you will be surprised at how many of them will.
