In this article, I will describe 12 suggestions on how you can boost traffic to your website relatively easily.
- Design your web site to be a targeted resource center. Choose one subject and build on it. You’ll gain repeat visitors that are interested in that topic.
- Offer something that is really free. If people go to your site and what you said was free really isn’t, you’ll lose their trust and they won’t buy anything.
- Add a chat room or message board to your web site. People want to interact with other people that have they same interests as them.
- Entice people to link to your web site by giving them something free in return. This’ll increase your ranking in some search engines.
- Trigger your reader’s emotions in your ad copy. Example, if you sell a book on gambling tips, tell them the feelings they’ll get when they win money.
- Make sure your site looks good in all browsers. You could be losing sales because it looks distorted in some web browsers
- Increase your sales by e-mailing full page ads to your e-zine subscribers. Remember to tell people before they subscribe or they may consider it spam.
- Ask people questions in your ad copy that make them think about their problems. For example: Do you want to be free of your debts?
- Magnify the size of your prospects problem in your ad; show how your product can solve it. The bigger the problem, the more sales you’ll have.
- Invest a percentage of your profits right back into your business. Spend it on marketing, product improvement, customer service, advertising, etc.
- When you make your first sale, follow-up with the customer. You could follow-up with a “thank you” email and include an advertisement for other products you sell. Then from there, you can check in every few months.
- You could upsell to your customers. When they’re at your order page, tell them about a few extra related products you have for sale. They could just add it to their original order.
