Welcome For
those of you who are new, the free things on my site and in this
newsletter are intended to help you with your affiliate marketing
efforts. If you use them properly, you will easily get over 500 hits per
day to your website. Be sure and check past newsletters and my site for
things that aren't in this newsletter. Notes I
know that I have said this many times before, but if you want to bootstrap
your online business you just can't neglect your local marketing and sales
efforts. One of my local customers is having an engagement party for their
daughter this weekend and ordered over $2,000 worth of candy, cookies,
gourmet foods, wine, and other items from my website. They wanted to have
things that could not be purchased locally. I met this customer standing
in line at the local Safeway store, gave him my card, and it has
been gravy ever since. Can you imagine $2,000 worth of junk food? Can you
imagine the clean up? Until
you raise the money through product sales to be able to sign up for Google
Adsense or some other paid advertising, your local sales efforts will be
your primary source of revenue. The thing is that, with the free
online promotional tools that are available, you are reaching sellers as
opposed to buyers. That is
why it is easy to sign up affiliates with these tools and harder to make
sales. That doesn't mean that they won't buy. Sellers buy too. You do not
have to launch a major campaign with mailings and fliers. Just talk to
people when you go out. The person that you talk to as you hand them your
card is 100 times more likely to buy from you than the person who sees
your website ten times. This number is offset online because you can reach
many more people online than you can offline. Ads The
free ads that I place continue to be solid performers. The click through
rate has inched up over 7% with some of the ads, like the one for Brad
Callen's SEO book, exceeding 19%. It is hard to imagine that anyone would
try to say that these don't work. Books I
have added "Think and Grow Rich" for you to download and
read. Training I
have started through the free audios I received again. The information was
so good that I wanted to make sure that I didn't miss something. These videos are from a weekend
seminar that people paid $3,000 to attend. They cover everything from
offline marketing to email marketing and Adsense. The presenters are all
people who have started at the bottom and become rich. You will be glad
you listened to these. You can unsubscribe to this newsletter anytime by replying to websmith@ewebsmith.com with "remove" in the subject line. |
