Survey Says

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.

Today's feature article is:

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

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

Today's feature article is:

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
on your Web site or by e-mail. Capture as much info. as
you can when they enter your contest or sweepstakes like:

Company Name
First/Last Name
Street Address
City, State, Zip
Day/Evening Phone Number
E-mail Address
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
other contests and sweepstakes Web sites to get more
ideas.

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.

Quote of the Day:

"It's hard to tell our bad luck from our good luck
sometimes. And most of us have wept copious tears over
someone or something when if we'd understood the situation
better we might have celebrated our good fortune instead."
