Are you an Internet marketing success story? No? Do you want tobe?
If you do, you can't just focus on one aspect of Internetmarketing. What I mean is, don't just think about ad copy orjust about traffic generation. It takes an "all around" approachto succeed.
First, and foremost, you must get your website visitors' emailaddresses. Build your prospect list. Use not only a newsletter,but also use autoresponder ecourses, ebooks and reports. Allshould be given away; the only "payment" being their emailaddress.
Put the signup forms for these ebooks, etc. on your navigationmenu and on the content pages throughout your site. You neverknow which page your visitors will be seeing when they arrive.
Make each signup page a "sales" page. Why should they want theebook or report? What are the benefits to them? Make it good.
Have great customer support. What? They're not customers? Well,not yet, but they could be. Treat each subscriber and contact asif he or she is the best customer in the world and that personwill be more likely to remain your subscriber.
Provide some way for your website visitors to provide feedback.It could be a community blog, forum, or even just a contactform. Just make sure there is some way that your visitors cancommunicate with you. Make sure that the link to your contactform is on every page of your website.
These days, I don't recommend adding your actual email addressto your site because of all the spam bots. They scour your sitefor your email and soon your inbox will fill up with junk.
Does your website look professional? If you just have a sitefull of blinking banners and ads, I don't believe you'll succeedin the long run. You need it to look nice - not fancy - justnice, and have valuable content for visitors. If you do, they'llcome back.
What about popups? You can use popup windows, but don't go crazywith them. Personally, I do not stay on a site that has morethan one popup. I have been on sites where so many windowsappear that you can barely get away from the site. That is justplain rude in my book.
A word about promotion. In my opinion, the best way to promoteyour website is by writing articles. You need articles for yournewsletter and to distribute to article directories and otherpublishers. This is how you get your "name" out incyberspace...to the people who matter...the ones looking forgood content for their own newsletters and websites.
And the most important key to success? Perseverance. Don't giveup at the first problem, or even the second. Find a mentor. Askquestions. Do whatever you have to do...but hang in there! YouWILL have your OWN success story
