Increase Your Target Markets

Today's feature article is:

Increase Your Target Markets
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-21397

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.

Multiply Your Links

Multiply Your Links
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-21397

I feel the most effective way to get people to link to your
web site is by offering web masters the option of giving
away your free stuff. In exchange, they link to your web
site. Why would other web masters want to do this? They
may want give away a freebie to draw traffic to their web
site. They also may not have the time, knowledge or skills
to give away certain types of electronic freebies from their
web site.

Your links will just keep multiplying. When a web master
offers your freebie to his or her visitors. Those visitors may
decide to also give away your freebie. And so on and so
on... The more people that link to your web site the more
traffic you'll get. Below are four of the most popular types
of freebies given away on the internet to increase traffic.

Free Software

Offer free software from your web site. The software could
be freeware, shareware or demos.

Free Online Services

Offer a free online service from your web site. The online
service could be an e-mail account, search engine submission
or e-mail consulting, etc.

Free Information

Offer valuable free information from your web site. The
information could be a report, article, e-book, online audio
recording or e-mail course, etc.

Free Affiliate Program

Offer a free affiliate program from your web site. The
affiliate program could be pay per sale, click through,
two tiered, etc.

Now, I know, there are many other ways to get links
like trading or exchanging links with other web sites or
joining a banner exchange. You can also do joint ventures
or cross promoting. I feel these are not as effective as
multiplying your links. I hope this article can help you
increase traffic to your web site.

How To Use Database Marketing To Skyrocket Your Online Profits

Today's feature article is:

How To Use Database Marketing To
Skyrocket Your Online Profits
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-21397

Database Marketing is the gathering and storing of specific information
about your prospects or customers. This information is usually stored in
a database program on your computer. You would then use the information
to market and advertise to them. It can save you time and money because
you can target your promotional efforts to your best prospects or
customers.

The Types Of Information To Collect

The information will vary depending on the product or service you're
selling. If you're selling a product that costs $2 you wouldn't collect
information about their yearly income. If you're selling web space you
wouldn't collect information about what type of books they read. The
basic information you need would be all their contact information,
purchase history, and birthday. You will need to decide what other
information would benefit your business.

How To Collect This Information Online

It's pretty easy to collect this information online but the hard part is
getting people to give it you. The best way to collect this information
is to give them something FREE in return. Ask them to fill out an e-mail
survey before subscribing to your free e-zine. Tell everyone who visits
your web site they will get a free e-book when they fill out your online
questionnaire form. Ask them this information before they sign up for a
free contest at your web site. Sometimes you have to give a little
something to get a little information online.

Beneficial Uses For Your Database
Find out your customers purchasing habits. Use the information to
improve the design of your web site. Use it to write all your
advertising material more persuasively.

Find out the things they like or dislike about your business. Use the
information to target your best prospects.

Find out how much money your prospects or customers make. Use it to
improve your customer service.

Find out what new products or services they need or want. Use it to test
ideas before launching a total sales campaign.

Find out how to your improve your existing products or services. Use it
to build your customer loyalty.

Find out which benefits or features they like most about your products
or services. Use it to send electronic greeting cards on holidays or on
your customer's birthdays.

The list of beneficial uses are endless. Do you see the importance of
collecting this information? The Internet makes the process of
collecting this information quicker and cheaper than offline methods.
Take advantage of database marketing and watch your online profits
skyrocket.

Quote of the Day:

"Put away the book, the description, the tradition, the
authority, and take the journey of self-discovery. Love,
and don't be caught in opinions and ideas about what love
is or should be. When you love, everything will come right.
Love has its own action. Love, and you will know the
blessings of it. Keep away from the authority who tells you
what love is and what it is not. No authority knows and he
who knows cannot tell. Love, and there is understanding."
-- Krishnamurti

Today's feature article is:

Survey Says
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-21397

Do you have a list of e-mail addresses of your customers or
prospects? Do you have a list of e-zine subscribers? If you
have their permission, send them an e-mail survey to conduct
market research. See if customers are satisfied with your
products or services, or see if they enjoyed their visit at
your web site.

You can learn things you didn't know about your business by
surveying. Maybe your customers buy your main product just
to get the free gifts. Your visitors may think it's to hard to
navigate through your web site. You may find out that most of
your customers make over $100,000 a year. By knowing this
type of important information you can improve your web site,
products/services, advertising, and marketing.

3 Popular Types Online Business Surveys:

Customer Satisfaction Surveys - what did you like or dislike
about our product or service, what can we improve or add,
how satisfied are you with our customer service, etc.

Web Site Feedback Surveys - did you find it to easy navigate
through our site, did you find the information you wanted, what
did you like or dislike about the site, how did you find our
site, etc.

Demographic Surveys - what's your gender, age, income,
occupation, marital status, etc.

Sometimes people don't want to take the time to fill out a
survey. To encourage them to fill out the survey offer them
a freebie if they fill it out. Some ideas are free ebooks, free
advertising, free reports, free internet services or a free
e-zine. Hold a free online contest or sweepstakes and ask
visitors to fill out a survey before they enter.

If you don't yet have an e-mail address list you could post
your survey on appropriate newsgroups, forums and e-mail
discussion lists. You could also upload survey software to
your web site or use a free survey service on the internet.
To find such services just type in the keyword "survey" in
your search engine of choice.

6 Payment Offers That Sell Like Crazy

Today's feature article is:

6 Payment Offers That Sell Like Crazy
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-21397

The way you structure your payment offers can increase your
sales. I'm not talking about the way people pay like credit
cards, digital payments, checks, and cash options. What I'm
taking about is can your customers try before they buy, pay
later, make payments, do they get a rebate, etc. Below are
six payment offers that will sell like your products or services
like crazy:

1. Sample It

Offer your customers a free sample or short version of your
product or service. Your sample should give them only a few
benefits of the full version. This will entice them to purchase
the full version to get the total benefits.

2. Name Your Price

Offer customers a choice of want they can pay for your product
or service. List your original product and price then add another
product with it for a little higher price. Your orders will increase
buy letting the customers choose their price.

3. Free To Try

Offer your customers a free trial of your product or service.
You could offer the free trial for 5 to 30 days. This is showing
them that you have confidence in your product or service and
it will sell itself.

4. Give A Little Back

Offer your customers a cash back rebate after they buy your
product or service. I feel a good rebate would be a least 10%
of their purchase price or higher. This will increase your sales
and, like most of us, they will forget to turn in the rebate.

5. Pay Later

Offer your customers the choice of being billed later for their
purchase. Bill them in a few weeks or a month. This will stop
you from losing customers who can't afford to purchase your
product or service at that time.

6. Little At A Time

Offer your customers the option of paying you a little at a time
for your product or service. You could divide up the purchase
price into bi-weekly or monthly payments. You won't lose
customers that may not be able to pay the full amount at that
time.

How To Use Bartering To Gain An
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-21397

If you have a business on the Internet you should be bartering
goods and services with other businesses. You should always
try to trade for something before you buy it. Barter deals
usually require no money. Although sometimes you may need
money to offset the value of the goods or services being traded.

Bartering will give you many advantages over your competition.
It can save your business money. You can spend the extra
money on a buying paid Internet advertising. It allows you to
offer your products and services at a lower price than your
competition. You can afford to get the higher priced goods and
services to compete on the internet.

There are numerous ways to find barter deals online. Set up a
barter message board or chat room on your web site to get
more barter offers. Note on your web site or e-zine you are
willing to barter for goods and services. Join newsgroups or
e-mail discussion groups that are about bartering. Join an
online barter club to meet other businesses that barter. Find
web sites that barter by looking up the keywords barter, trade,
or swap in your search engine of choice.

There are a few things you should do before bartering. Compile
a list of your goods and services you are willing to barter.
Make a list of goods and services you need or want for your
online business. Know the approximate cash value of the
things you are trying to trade and the value of the things you
are seeking in return. All of this information can help you
negotiate a successful barter deal.

When proposing a barter offer, tell the person the benefits of
the barter deal. Explain to them why it would be a win/win
situation. Give their business many compliments in your
proposal. Prove to them why it would be a fair trade. This
type of proposal can increase your chances off them saying
"Yes, I will barter.

How To Increase Your Online Sales Anytime

Today's feature article is:

How To Increase Your Online Sales Anytime
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-21397

Hold a discount sale on your web site. Use the sale to get
rid of excess inventory, gain new or repeat customers, and
increase your sales. Most businesses pick a theme for their
sale, like a Halloween Sale. Below are six unique sales
themes you could use:

Nobody's Visiting Today Sale

Every online business has low visitor and sales day through
the week. My days are Tuesdays and Thursdays. You
could sell your products or services for cheaper to increase
and sales on your slow days. You could have this advertised
right on your web site.

Time Of The Day Sale

Periodically , pick out a time of the day like 5 to 7 pm to
lower your prices. With online sales you need tell people
the time zone. Announce your scheduled times ahead of
time in your e-zine. This will give people enough time to
plan when they will visit your web site.

Product Or Service Of The Day Sale

Each day offer different product or service at a lower price.
This will draw people back to your web site everyday. This
is a high traffic generating sale. If you don't have a lot of
products and services you may want to run the sale weekly
or monthly.

Niche Group Sale

Hold a sale for a niche groups of people. Students, senior
citizens, single people etc. This really works if your
introducing a new product or service for the first time to a
new target audience. Announce your sale in a targeted
e-zine, e-mail discussion groups, message boards, etc.

Holiday Or Seasonal Sale

Offer lower prices on holidays and during seasonal changes.
These type of sales let your visitors and customers know
your no scrooge. Be creative and go as far as decorating
your web site. You could upload holiday and seasonal
graphics. Change the color of your text to match. Get in the
spirit!

Get More For Your Money Sale

Give customers more products or services for their money.
People relate these kind of sales to getting a bargain or
saving money. You could offer a buy one get one for half
off sale, a buy two get the third one free, two for the price
of one sale, etc.

How To Eliminate Your Competition Without Bloodshed

Today's feature article is:

How To Eliminate Your Competition Without Bloodshed
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-21397

So how do you eliminate your competition without
bloodshed? You must create a niche for your business. A
niche is something that makes your business different
from your competitors. To compete with other businesses
nowadays (especially online) you need something that
nobody else can copy. One of a kind!

First you must know who your competitors are. Is your
business the onlyone of its type? I doubt it. If so, it
won't be for long. Do you know your exact target
audience? If not, you will have to find out this
information before creating any kind of niche. Below
are two ways to come up with a competition eliminating
niche.

1. Just Ask! The first way to come up with a niche is
to think like your target audience or customers. Know
their exact needs, wants, goals, problems and
interests. There're two ways to do this: The first way
is to put yourself in their shoes, think like them. The
second way is to give them polls and surveys to find
out what they're thinking. Pick a niche that none of
your competitors are using. If you can't find one that
your competitors aren't using pick one to improve.

2. Just Think! The second way to come up with a niche
is to use your brain power. Ask yourself questions
like: How can I set myself apart from my competition?
What could I offer that they can't? Imagine or
daydream that your business is on top of all your
competitors. What niche put your business at the top in
your head? Now, if you keep asking these questions your
mind will eventually start shooting out more ideas than
you can handle. One of those ideas may be the niche
you're searching for.

Now that you have your niche that's just half the
battle. You must test it. Does your niche appeal to
your target audience? Will it attract people away from
your competition? If it does, you're done, until your
competition comes up with a better niche. If your niche
doesn't, than
repeat the process above and test a new niche until it
works. If you want to eliminate your competition and be
successful you will use this process several times in
your business life.

Cross Promote Online For Maximum Profits

Today's feature article is:

Cross Promote Online For Maximum Profits
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-21397

Cross promoting is when two or more businesses promote
their products or services together. I try to find businesses
that have the same target audience, but are not in direct
competition with my business. Doing cross promotions
with other businesses increases your profits, sales, and
beat your competition.

You can find businesses to cross promote all over the
Internet. Participate in e-mail discussion groups, online
forums and newsgroups that deal with your target audience.
Subscribe to e-zines that deal with your targeted audience.
Note on your Web site or e-zine that you are interested in
cross promoting your products and services. Search in
your favorite web directories and search engines to find
targeted businesses.

Cross promoting has many benefits. Save money by
sharing the advertising and marketing costs. Save time
when both businesses share the workload. You can offer
your customers new products and services. Get referrals
from the other business' clients. Receive valuable
information from the business.

Once you find a business you would like to cross promote
with simply e-mail them your proposal. Tell the business
owner the benefits of the cross promotion. Explain to him
or her why it would be a win/win situation for both of your
businesses. Give them a lot of compliments about their
business, Web site, products and services. Using all three
methods above will greater your chance for a profitable
cross promotion. Good Luck!

Build A Successful Business By Staying Connected
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-21397

Over the course of your business life you'll come in contact with a
number of other business people. They could be lawyers, business
services, suppliers, customers, etc. These people are important to your
business in more ways than one. If you hired them or they bought your
product or service, you can also gain their business knowledge,
experience, ideas, and advice. How do you do this? Stay Connected!
Network! Networking is when two or more different businesses stay in
contact on a regular basis to build and improve each others business.

Consider all the benefits you'll gain from talking to other business
people:

Knowledge or information that you didn't have before
Advice on how to solve a current business problem
Leads to a new business project or opportunity
Joint ventures and cross promotion deals
Learn important skills that you didn't have before
Constructive criticism that improved your business
Brainstorming that sparks a profitable business idea
Encouraging and motivational statements

There are many ways to meet business people. Join business clubs and
associations. Participate in on-line business-related forums, e-mail
discussion groups, and chat rooms. Go to business expos and trade shows.
Use your creativity to come up with even more ideas.

If you have the time, start your own networking group. You could hold
meetings at a local seminar room, at a park , or at your own business
building. If you want to hold meetings on-line use a private chat room.
Publish a print or e-mail newsletter to keep members informed of meeting
time and dates.

Keep all your business associates' contact information all in one
place. Have it organized by business type or profession for easy
finding. So when you need some advice on a new marketing campaign you
can call that marketing expert you met at that trade show in Ohio a
couple of weeks ago.

Networking is a surefire way to build a successful business. I have
used it countless times and will continue too. I have also met a lot of
business people who are now some of my closest friends.

How To Draw Visitors To Your Web Site By
Holding An Online Contest Or Sweepstakes
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-21397

Holding a contest or sweepstakes can draw a lot of traffic
to your Web site. You can announce your site to hundreds
of Web sites that list free contests and sweepstakes. Send
out a press releases about your contest or sweepstakes.
Ask entrants to your contest or sweepstakes if they would
accept offers from your business in the future by e-mail.

The prizes should be something your target audience would
need or want. Try to be as original as possible with the
prizes you are offering. Always offer more than one prize,
a grand prize and runner-up prizes. Use your products or
services to give away as prizes. Make sure your prizes have
some value, nothing cheap. Give enough information about
all the prizes, so people will be interested in entering.

Make it easy for people to enter your contest or sweeps-
takes. I feel the easiest ways online are from an entry form

you can when they enter your contest or sweepstakes like:

Company Name
First/Last Name
Street Address
City, State, Zip
Day/Evening Phone Number

Web Site Address
Purchasing History
Survey Questions

Give your contest or sweepstakes a professional look and
feel. Provide an "Official Rules" Web page for your contest
or sweepstakes. Include a time period of how long your
contest or sweepstakes will be held. Tell visitors how you
will deliver the prizes. Include pictures of the prizes on your
site. Tell visitors who will judge your contest. Check out

The Secrets Of Chat Room Marketing Exposed

Today's feature article is:

The Secrets Of Chat Room Marketing Exposed
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-21397

Chat Room Marketing is the use of online chat rooms to
promote your product or service. Chat rooms are usually
broken into categories. Find the right chat room where your
targeted audience would gather. Create a chat room profile
with your ad, business info, or signature file in it. Announce
to everyone in the chat room something interesting or free
that's offered on your web site. This will draw visitors to
your web site. Always be aware of chat room rules before
engaging the visitors in a sales pitch that could be considered
SPAM.

Send electronic messages to target people in the chat room
that would be interested in your products or services. Start a
conversation with them. After a few moments indirectly
bring your sales pitch into the conversation. This is a great
way to do one-on-one selling electronically. Do not directly
SPAM them with your messages.

~Marketing With Your Web Site's Chat Room~

Just having a chat room on your Web site can create an
online community and bring visitors to your Web site. Host
a free online seminar in your chat room about a subject of
your expertise. Use a chat room to meet with current
customers if they have any questions or problems. Regularly
schedule free events in your chat room. Schedule experts to
speak in your chat room.

Host other people's chat rooms as an expert. Charge for
doing this to earn extra money or just do it for free to gain
publicity. Make sure your spelling and grammar is correct
when chatting, so people understand what you are typing.
Use some chat room emotions and acronyms to help people
understand you're typing.

Use " :D " to show your laughing

Use " :) " to show you are smiling

Use " BTW " which means "by the way"

Use " FAQ " which means "frequently asked questions"

Use " IMHO " which means "in my humble opinion"

Use " LOL " which means "laughing out loud"

Use " TU " which means "thank you"

Marketing your products or services in chat rooms is a
more personal way to gain new customers. Prospects are
actually communicating with you instead of reading your ad.
You may even make a few friends along the way.

3 Ways To Generate Profitable Business Ideas Anytime
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-21397

All businesses are created first by ideas. Then once you're in
business you need ideas for marketing, advertising, solving
problems, product development etc. The difference between
success or failure could be one just one idea. That's all!
Below are three ways to generate profitable business ideas.

1. Communicating regularly with other business people can
generate many ideas. There are many resources online and
offline to meet new business people lie; seminars, chat
rooms, discussion boards, trade shows etc. Sharing your
knowledge, asking questions, and taking in new information
will stimulate your mind. Your brain will begin to put all this
information together to create profitable business ideas.

2. If you're not much of a communicator, try reading. Reading
can also stimulate your mind. Read business books, magazines,
e-books, web sites, journals, e-zines, newspapers etc. Your
brain will generate profitable ideas by absorbing and
rearranging this information on a regular basis.

3. Don't have a lot of time to read? You could listen to
business audio books, seminars and courses. Listen to
them in the car, while your doing house work, working in
the yard, or exercising. Also, tune in business related radio
stations. This will help you save time and generate
profitable business ideas at the same time.

There are a few extra tips that will help improve these idea
generation strategies. Take short breaks to brainstorm about
the information you absorbed. Keep a notepad and pen
handy to record your ideas so you don't forget them. All
businesses need profitable business ideas to stay ahead of
competition and survive.

business with press releases because of the media all over the
internet. The following is a list of some common press
release writing tips:

- your press release should sound like news, not an ad

- you should only send your press release to the media
related to the topic of your press release

- keep your press release one page in length

- your header, contact information and release date should
be at the top of your press release

- use short sentences and double space in between
sentences

- your header and first few sentences should capture the
readers attention

- you should tell a story and briefly mention your business,
product or service in the body of the press release

- proofread your press release many times. Look for
grammar and spelling mistakes.

Another reason entrepreneurs ignore promoting their online
business with press releases is because they don't know

Reward Your Customers

Today's feature article is:

Reward Your Customers
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-21397

The formula for success for any business is to get your
customers to make repeat purchases. There are a number
of factors involved for getting repeat customers: pricing,
quality of products and services, excellent customer
service etc. One of the best ways is to reward your
customers for their repeat purchases. Here are three
effective customer reward programs you could implement:

Number Of Purchases

This program is based on the number of purchases made
by any customer. You could give away a free product or
service to any customer that makes ten or more purchases.
To make the program more effective you could require a
set time period that all ten purchases must be made by.

Dollar Amount

You can require a certain dollar amount be spent before
the customer receives a reward. Tell customers if they
spend over $50 in one month at your web site they get a
50% discount on their next purchase. You could also just
reward one customer who spends the most every month
with a bigger reward like a vacation.

Points System

Reward customers a point for every one-dollar they spend.
Lets say customers can get a free computer for 300 points.
That means customers will spend $300 dollars on your
products and services to get enough points to get the free
computer. To push slower selling products or services just
offer more points per dollar spent for those particular items.

The kind of rewards you give should depend on what your
business can afford. Cheaper rewards could be gift
certificates, coupons, clothes, or movie passes. Expensive
rewards could be jewelry, vacations, bed and breakfast
gift certificates, electronics or computer equipment.

You may want to invest in a good database program to
keep track of your rewards program. I also recommend
contacting a legal professional for advice, set-up and the
structure of your rewards program. I hope these ideas I've
given you help make your business more successful.

Redecorate Your Web Site To Increase Sales

Today's feature article is:

Redecorate Your Web Site To Increase Sales
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-21397

The use of the right colors on your web site can actually
increase your sales. When people see certain colors they can
change their emotions or they can symbolize things related
to the colors. Here are a list of colors with some emotions
and symbolizations they can cause:

Red - love, excitement, warmth

Pink - romantic, affection, sensuality

White - purity, peace, perfection

Blue - sky, water, travel, freedom, truth

Purple - royalty, dignity

Black - space, night, authority

Green - money, calm, envy, greed

Yellow - light, purity, understanding

Orange - autumn, youthfulness, fire

Brown - wood, comfort, strength

Its very important to know which emotions or symbolizations
will trigger your target audience to buy your product or
service. If your selling a money-making product you should
use green colors to represent money or bring out the emotion
of greed. People also associate comfort and travel with
money so you maybe want ad in some brown and blue
colors on your web site.

The same principle can be applied to graphics or pictures
of your product on your web site. Package your products
with colors that will trigger your audience to buy. If your
selling a book about how to be more romantic, use red
and pink colors on the cover. I hope these simple web
site color techniques will increase your business's sales.

10 Scorching Ways To Heat Up Your Sales
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-21397

1. Email each visitor a satisfaction questionnaire
after they purchase. This will allow you to improve
your order system, customer service, site, etc.

2. Give a percentage of your profits to a cause your
customers would like. It could be a charity, school,
environmental improvements, etc.

3. Take harsh criticism the right way and improve
your online business. Don't get down in the dumps,
improve the situation so it doesn't happen again.

4. Try bartering before you buy services, supplies
and equipment for your business. You can use the
extra money you save on advertising your business.

5. Give away a follow-up email course on an auto-
responder. Include your ad with each lesson. People
will buy quicker when they see your ad repeatedly.

6. Make sure your classified ads don't sound like
an ad. Don't ask people to buy anything or they
won't click, give something away instead.

7. Give your free bonus products extra perceived
value. Don't use the phrase "free bonuses" use the
phrase "you will also get".

8. Keep your visitors on your web site longer. The
longer they stay, the greater chance they will buy.
Just hold a treasure hunt contest on your web site.

9. Make sure you're always creating new products
and services or improving old ones. Most products
or services won't stand the test of time online.

10. Split the cost of online advertising and marketing
by sharing a web site with a similar, non-competing
business. You would both put up half the cost.

http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-21397

1. Use more than one P.S. in your ad copy. It is one
of the most read parts of any ad, so why not use two

something they already know is true. They'll know

expire after a particular time period. People will
revisit your web site over and over to resubmit.

6. Forward interesting emails to your online friends
with your signature file included. They may end up
forwarding it to their friends and so on.

7. Organize your web site into categories. Visitors
won't get frustrated and leave your site because
they can't find what they're looking for.

8. Give your web site visitors a "thank you" email
This'll remind them to revisit. Just get their email
address and permission.

9. Advertise that your online business is for sale.
Try to sell it for 10,000,000 dollars. You'll either
get 10,000,000 dollars or you'll get curious visitors.

10. Try auctioning off your products. Set up the
auction software on your web site. Give customers
the option of paying outright or bidding.

perfection is death, Micko. We're here to learn and change,
and that means making mistakes." -- spoken by William

the universe because the family attitude was, "It was meant
to be." And now we would see what good would come of this
event." -- Bernie S. Siegel, MD

10 Lightening Fast Ways To Escalate Your Sales

10 Lightening Fast Ways To Escalate Your Sales
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-21397

1. Sell an inexpensive product to sell an expensive
product. If people like your inexpensive product,
they'll be persuaded to buy your expensive one.

2. Allow your visitors to decided how much they
want to pay for your product. I only recommend it
for products that don't sell or ones that hardly sell.

3. 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.

4. 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 get a percentage of the profits.

5. Find a tiny 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.

6. Test your ads by using autoresponders. You can
have people e-mail your autoresponders to get more
information and you just check your traffic reports.

7. Create credibility and trust with your visitors by
telling them something they already know. They'll
know for sure you're not lying to them.

8. Make residual income from your customers by
selling back end products. If you don't have any,
you could sign up to related affiliate programs.

9. Use a redirect page to boost your sales. People
think the long affiliate URLs look unprofessional in
e-mail so you could redirect them to a web link.

10. Create an extra income from your web site by
charging for consulting. The consulting should be
related to your web site's theme.

10 Ways To Improve Your Customer Service

Today's feature article is:

10 Ways To Improve Your Customer Service
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-21397

1. Stay in contact with customers on a regular basis. Offer
them a free e-zine subscription. Ask customers if they
want to be updated by e-mail when you make changes to
your Web site. After every sale, follow-up with the
customer to see if they are satisfied with their purchase.

2. Create a customer focus group. Invite ten to twenty of
your most loyal customers to meet regularly. They will give
you ideas and input on how to improve your customer
service. You could pay them, take them out to dinner or
give them free products.

3. Make it easy for your customers to navigate on your
web site. Have a "FAQ" page on your Web site to explain
anything that might confuse your customers. Ask them to
fill out an electronic survey to find out how make your web
site more customer friendly.

4. Resolve your customers complaints quickly and
successfully. Answer all e-mail and phone calls within an
hour. If possible, you the owner of the business, personally
take care of the problem. This will show your customers
you really care about them.

5. Make it easy for your customers to contact you.
Offer as many contact methods as possible. Allow
customers to contact you by e-mail. Hyperlink your e-mail
address so customers won't have to type it. Offer toll free
numbers for phone and fax contacts.

6. Make sure employees know and use your customer
service policy. Give your employees bonuses or incentives
to practice excellent customer service. Tell employees to
be flexible with each individual customer, each one has
different concerns, needs and wants.

7. Give your customers more than they expect. Send thank
you gifts to lifetime customers. E-mail them online greeting
cards on holidays or birthdays. Award bonuses to your
customers who make a big purchase.

8. Always be polite to your customers. Use the words
your welcome, please, and thank you. Be polite to your
customers even if they are being irate with you. Always
apologize to your customers should you make a mistake.
Admit your mistakes quickly and make it up to them in a
big way.

9. Reward customers a point for every one dollar they
spend. Let's say customers can get a free computer for 300
points. That means customers will spend $300 dollars on
your products and services to get enough points to get the
free computer.

10. Build strong relationships with your customers. Invite
them to company meetings, luncheons, workshops or
seminars. Create special events for your customers like
parties, barbecue's, dances etc. This will make them feel
important when you include them in regular business
operations and special events.
