10 ELECTRIFYING Ways To Explode Your Orders

1. Persuade visitors to link to your web site. Give them a
freebie in exchange for them linking to your web site. It could
be content, software, etc. Wouldn't you like to recieve
something for free, we all love gifts.
2. Link to web sites that provide useful information or services
for your visitors. If you have many useful links on your site,
they may make it their start page. Think of your homepage, it
has many useful links on it that appeal to you right?
3. Spice-up your web site's wording using plenty of adjectives.
It gives your visitors a clearer vision of what your explaining
or describing to them. Make it easy for them.
4. Don't make your banner ads look like ads. Most people ignore
banner ads. Design them to look like content and have them click
to read the rest. Think...banner ads are like pop ups and theres
a reason why we have pop up blockers. It's a no brainer!
5. Join affiliate programs that go with the theme of your web
site. You'll just be wasting valuable space and time if your
visitors aren't interested in them. Don't just throw clutter on
your site for the heck of it, make it neat and matching.
Everything should revolve around one central idea.
6. Market your web site as a free club instead of a web site.
This'll increase your repeat visitors and sales because people
enjoy belonging to groups. You want people to stick around and
absorb information.
7. Interact with your online customers on a regular basis.
This'll show them you care about them. You could use a chat
room, forum or message system. This is important, no one likes
to be left in the dark, make your customers seem valued and
cared for.
8. Check your web site links regularly. After people click on
one link, and it doesn't work, they usually won't risk wasting
their time clicking on another one. Test it every now and then,
what if your order page was down? You'd be losing money and
customers.
9. Give visitors a positive experience when they're at your web
site. Provide them with original content and free stuff. They'll
tell all of their friends about it. Make a great impression,
word of mouth is a powerful tool.
10. Share customers with other businesses that have the same
target audience. Offer their product to your customers if, in
exchange they do the same for you. You could double your sales
and it's and easy way to get customers.
"Education is not the piling on of learning, information, data,
facts, skills, or abilities--that's training or instruction--but
is rather a making visible what is hidden as a seed... To be
educated, a person doesn't have to know much or be informed, but
he or she does have to have been exposed vulnerably to the
transformative events of an engaged human life... One of the
greatest problems of our time is that many are schooled but few
are educated." -- Thomas Moore
