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.

Everything You Should Know Publishing Package for Wanna Be Top Selling Authors

I got the package and I'm making my way through the videos. My thoughts thus far: 1. Lots of info! I got the Platinum package and so far I'm impressed with the amount of info. 2. As usual, there's sales info for other packages, but so far I've gotten a good amount just from this without buying more (which I'm not apt to do.) 3. Seriously, Mike Koenigs...don't give advice on dressing right now. Your way-too-big blue shirt didn't make you look like a pro; it just made you look silly. If this is the strategy behind "dressing for the everyman" that you take, it seems really, really dumbed down. I think we can all handle you in a well-fitting shirt. (See video #2 for this.) 4. On a good note, Mike: You're a good speaker and easy to listen to. I like the message. Goes double for Arielle. Wish I could still hire Arielle Ford as publicist (could I even afford her?). She knows the biz. Unfortunately (see previous posting), the biz changed...

How to Market: ART - An Artist's Guide to Simple, Cheap and Effective Online Marketing

I've been a marketing "expert" for a while. I use the term expert very loosely, but I know more than the average bear on what it takes to market effectively, affordably and reasonably online. I'm also an artist, so I've put these practices into place. Here's what I've found: -You do NOT need to pay for fancy artist-only sites to host your online  presence -You DO need more than just a Facebook page (come on people, professionals have websites and you should, too) -You do NOT need to pay for online ads, PPC, retargeting, etc. -You DO need some sort of social media presence -You do NOT need to do long-winded blogs posts -You DO need to post somewhere (blog or website) at least 3x per month and be able to share those posts Now, do you need a special domain? YES! Always own your own name. Always, always, always. Plus, you should have a site that is branded. By this I mean if you are a watercolorist special...
