PC4PEOPLE.com Reviews, Tips & Tricks

It’s important to follow-up with potential online customers. Following up with them can increase your traffic and sales. The more times people see your ad, the greater chance they will buy your product or service.

Before you can follow-up with them you need their e-mail address. You can get their e-mail address by having them subscribe to your e-zine, fill out a web site form, or e-mail your follow-up autoresponder.

Most people won’t give you their e-mail address unless they get something in return. The most effective way is to offer them an internet freebie. Here are some ideas.

Free E-Gifts

It could be free software, guest books, web space, graphics message boards, etc.

Free Internet Services

It could be free e-consulting, search engine submissions, web design, etc.

Free E-Information

It could be a free e-book, e-report, web book, e-course, e-zine, etc.

When you follow-up with the freebie, you can include your ad somewhere on the freebie. If it’s a free service, have your ad in the follow-up e-mail. Make sure you always get their permission before you follow-up with them by e-mail.

1. Participate in chat rooms related to the product

you’re reselling. Start a conversation with a person

without trying to sell to them. Later on, while you

are chatting, mention the product you’re reselling.

2. Create a free e-book with the advertisement and

link of your affiliate web site. The subject of the free

e-book should draw your target audience to down-

load it. Also submit it to some e-book directories.

3. Start your own affiliate program directory. Join

a large number of affiliate programs and list them all

in a directory format on your web site. Then just

advertise your free affiliate program directory.

4. Write your own affiliate program ads. If all the

other affiliates use the same ads you do, that does

not give you an edge over your competition. Use

a different ad to give yourself an advantage over

all the other affiliates.

5. Use a personal endorsement ad. Only use one if

you’ve actually bought the product or service for the

affiliate program. Tell people what kind of benefits

and results you’ve received using the product.

6. Advertise the product you’re reselling in your

signature file. Use an attention getting headline and

a good reason for them to visit your affiliate site.

Make sure your signature file doesn’t go over 5 lines.

7. Join a web ring. It should attract the same type

of people that would be interested in buying the

product you’re reselling. You could also trade links

on your own with other related web sites.

8. Participate on web discussion boards. Post your

comments, answer other people’s questions, and

ask your own questions. Include your affiliate text

link under each message you post.

9. Create a free ezine. Use your ezine to advertise

the affiliate programs you’ve joined. Submit your

ezine to online ezine directories and promote it on

your web site.

10. Start a private web site. Use it as a free bonus

if people buy the product you resell. You could

also allow people to join for free and you could

advertise the affiliate program you’ve joined.
