Kill your business by doing this...

If you're not gathering leads and names from an autoresponder on your site or blog, you're missing out BIG TIME! These days, people are so inundated with info and offers, they often need to get to know you and see your emails several times before they can trust you and want to do business with you. Auto responders are a great way to do this, yet many sites I visit still don't use them.
Once a visitor clicks away, you've lost them, so why not get their info while they're there (and interested)? Here are a few tips for using auto responders with best results:
1) What's your bribe? The better your offer, the easier it is to get them to sign up. If they want what you're offering, you'll get them so make it good.

2) Don't hide your sign up form. Make it accessible and put it high on your page to increase sign ups. Also, make it attractive and eye-catching. It a key component of your site, so treat it that way.


3) Be careful what you ask for. Don't ask for a life story on the sign up form. Just a name and email is best; if you must have mailing info, tell them why you're asking. Are you sending them something in the mail? If so, tell them. If not, do you really need it? Asking for lots of info will deter sign ups. 
 
4) Overpromise & overdeliver. Promise a lot and give a lot. 'Nuf said. 


5) Say please and say thank you. Be courteous at all time. Your subscribers are valuable. Treat them that way.

The All Powerful PLATFORM for Non-Fiction Writers

Do you have a platform? If you don't know what this is, or don't have one, don't even think about writing your book. This is the advice from publishing big-wigs like Arielle Ford. Of course, this isn't new, but it's now the MUST HAVE marketing for nearly any non-fiction writer who truly desires to make any money with his/her book. As most books don't sell many copies, authors are to rely on back-end deals like speaking engagements and selling other programs to truly rake in the cash. As a writer, the problem exists: Most writers who truly write are not really going to want to get up and speak in front of crowds and hawk their wares (books), right? So how to overcome this? For my money, I'm guessing teleseminars and maybe video seminars could work. Also, developing programs that are pricer that you can upsell to readers who enjoy your topics. In other words, don't be complacent and think as an author you're just going to write books and make m...

Using Squidoo to Generate Traffic--Tips

  One of the best strategies for generating traffic from Squidoo is to:     Choose a topic carefully. You want your Squidoo lenses to be focused around a specific topic, rather than spread out to cover multiple niches.   Once you have traffic flowing into your Squidoo lenses, you can quickly expand your outreach by developing additional lenses on other topics.   Create 10-20 articles on your chosen topic, being careful not to keyword stuff! You want you incorporate relevant keywords into your content but you want to be careful that your material is comprehensive and won’t be penalized in the search engines or deemed inappropriate by Squidoo.   Create a Squidoo lens for each of your articles. Your articles should be between 500-800 words long.
