Endorsement Marketing Secrets
Joseph Valenzuela


http://www.website.ws/joseph24

Endorsement marketing is having famous or reputable people
recommend your product or service to others. They could be
celebrities, star athletes, musicians, etc. Choose people that
are related to your business and might actually use your
product or service.


Before asking anyone for an endorsement be sure your product
or service gives the results you say it does. They may ask you
to prove it before they will agree to give an endorsement.


Once you find the ideal person to endorse your product or
service simply contact them and ask. When proposing any
endorsement deal make it a win/win situation. Tell them you
would get the endorsement and they would get free publicity.
If they're selling a product or service, you could exchange
endorsements. If they ask for a fee, try to give them a
percentage of the profits instead.


Once you get an endorsement from someone, use it on all your
advertising and marketing material. Put their endorsement and
picture on your Web site. Use their testimonial in your ads.
Include it on your product packages.


An endorsement can increase your sales fast. It gives credibility
to your product or service. People will usually believe a person
that's not related to your business before they will believe you.

Three Clever Ways To Promote Your Online Business
Joseph Valenzuela


http://www.payitforward4profits.com/joseph24

1. Electronic Catalog Marketing

Create a catalog of products or services in e-book or auto
responder form. Give the catalog away for free to your
web site visitors. Ask other web sites, that aren't in direct
competition with your business, if they would like to add
their products or services to the catalog. If they do, just ask
that in return they either link to your web site, run your
promotional ad in their e-zine or place your banner ad on
their web site for a set period of time. You could ask them
to also give away the free catalog because you would
already have your ad(s) in the catalog. Since you created
and compiled the catalog place your ad or sponsor ad at the
top or title page of the catalog. This technique will quickly
multiply your advertising.


2. Donate Your Publishing

Donate to libraries. There are thousands of school, college
and local libraries all over the United States and world.
Millions of people visit libraries everyday. Why not donate
your e-mail newsletter to them. You can find a huge list of
libraries on online yellow page web sites. Contact the library
by mail, phone or e-mail. Tell them you would like to donate
a free subscription of your e-mail newsletter. If they accept
find out if they want it sent by mail in print form or by e-mail
so they can print out the newsletter. You could also donate
your books, audio tapes, video's, booklets, etc. If you have
an e-book you could put it on disk or CD-ROM and donate
it. Just have your business ad included in the material you
donate.


3. Online Community Marketing

Create a popular online discussion board. Reward people
points for every message posted on your discussion board.
Let's say you reward each person 25 points for each
posting. You could give them a free product or service for
500 points which would add up to 20 postings on your board
from that one person. Just keep track of points for each
person that posts on your message board. This could also
work for e-mail discussion lists. Just post your promotional
ad at the top of your discussion board page. Everyone that
visits your discussion board will see your ad.

5 Ways Your Business Can Benefit From Online Auctions
Joseph Valenzuela


http://www.payitforward4profits.com/joseph24

It seems as if everyone is talking about online auctions. And
why not. There are thousands of online auctions on the
internet with more popping up everyday. People love them
because they can usually find great bargains. Businesses are
now also seeing the benefits of online auctions. Below are
five ways your business can benefit from online auctions.


1. Get Rid Of Excess Inventory

You could sell your excess or discontinued products at an
online auction. Your unsold inventory is doing you no good
sitting around, collecting dust. It's an effective way to make
extra income and it won't be a total loss for your business.
You could even get lucky and make a profit depending
on how much people will bid for your excess inventory.


2. Test Pricing For New Products

An easy way to test new product prices is to see what
people will bid for them at an online auction. First, sell your
product at three different online auctions. Next, calculate
the average selling bid from all three auctions and that will
be your selling price for your new product.


3. Sell Your Products

You can get your product in front of a large audience by
selling it at an online auction. Some of the bigger auction
sites draw over millions of hits a year. The key to being
successful is to sell your product at multiple online auctions
at the same time. Let's say you sold one product a day
from just one auction site. If you sell your product at one
hundred online auction sites that would be one hundred sales
a day!


4. Start Your Own Online Auction

Drive traffic to your web site by starting your own online
auction. People will visit your web site to find bargains
and to sell their own products. You will get plenty of
repeat visitors from people rebidding on products and
adding new products to sell. You could also charge other
businesses to advertise on your web site.


5. Lower Your Business Costs

You can find lower prices on business supplies and
equipment at online auctions. I'm not saying all the time, but
before you go pay retail for a new printer try bidding on
one first. A company may be selling them at a lower price
at an online auction because they have excess inventory.

How To Get Free Advertising By Giving Away
Online Content
Joseph Valenzuela


http://www.payitforward4profits.com/joseph24

Giving away content is a powerful way to get free advertising.
For example, give other people permission to use your article
on their web site or in their e-zine. The resource box at the
end of your article acts as an ad. In return, you get free
advertising. It's a win/win situation for both you and the
people that need the extra content.


There are many forms of free content. It could be articles,
reports, news stories, e-books, e-zines, e-mags, virtual e-mail
courses, press releases, web books, etc.

You can take it a step further and make giving away content
an even more powerful way to get free advertising. For
example, give your free e-book to one person and allow them
the rights to also give it away. Do you see what I'm leading
up to? Let's say only 20 people download your e-book. Those
20 people may give away your e-book to 20 more people.
That's a total of 400 people that have seen your ad in the
e-book. And it just keeps multiplying!


If you keep producing free content over a long period of time
it starts building up. Now, take all your free content and
create an online directory. You can use your free content
directory as a web site traffic generator. You can ask people
to add the directory to their web site by linking to yours.


In conclusion, giving away content gives you three powerful
ways to get free advertising. You can submit free content,
allow other people to give away your free content, or have
people link to your web site to give away the free content.
My advice is to take it one step at a time and this system
will bring traffic to your web site over and over for years
to come.

Six Little Used Online Marketing Strategies
Joseph Valenzuela


http://www.payitforward4profits.com/joseph24

1. Utilize Your Knowledge

Offer people free consulting or advice on that subject via
e-mail if in exchange they either link to your web site, run
your promotional ad in their e-zine or place your banner
ad on their web site for a set period of time.


2. Become A Publisher

Publish e-zines for other people for free. In return for your
work in designing, updating and gathering content you
request that your promotional ad be placed at the top of
each issue. Their duties will be to promote and send out
each issue to their subscribers.


3. Persuade Them To Sign

A great way to get e-mail addresses and testimonials for
your online business is to ask people to sign your guest
book. The problem is a lot of people won't take the extra
time to sign your guest book. An effective way to persuade
them to sign your guest book is to give them something
free in return.


4. Create An E-mag

Publish your e-zine in ebook format. You could offer more
articles per issue. You could add graphics with the articles
just like in print magazines. Your advertising revenue would
increase because you could charge businesses for full page
color ads.


5. Tell Them What's Next

Get your visitors excited about revisiting your web site.
Tell them about upcoming articles, prize drawings, free
stuff, etc. If they know what's in store for them, they will
revisit. Tell then to sign up for an e-mail reminder or tell
them to bookmark your web site.


6. Share Your Information

Create a web book that's related to your web site topic.
Give people the option of linking to the web book so they
give it away to their visitors. Put your ad on top of the
title page to get free advertising. This strategy will easily
multiply your advertising exposure.

Increase Your Target Markets
Joseph Valenzuela


http://www.payitforward4profits.com/joseph24

Are your products or services geared towards only one
target market? You can increase sales and profits by
increasing your target markets. Below are some creative
ways to increase your target markets by using your existing
products and services you're selling right now.


REDESIGN

You can increase your target markets by redesigning your
products and services. For example: you're selling a book
called "Internet Marketing Tips For Accountants" You
could rewrite part of your book and call it "Internet
Marketing Tips For Lawyers". You've now increased your
target markets by redesigning your book.


ADD-ON

You can increase your target markets by adding on other
product or service with your main one. For example: if
you're selling a football magazine you could add a free
football when someone buys a subscription. You're now
targeting people who want the football magazine and those
that want to play football out in the yard. Sometimes they
buy stuff just to get the freebies.


TEAM-UP

You can increase your target markets by doing a cross
promotion with a similar non-competeing businesses. For
example: your business sells tennis rackets and you find
another business to cross promote with that sells tennis
balls. You could combine your racket and their balls in
one package. You are now targeting people that need
tennis rackets and balls.

Multiply Your Links
Joseph Valenzuela


http://www.payitforward4profits.com/joseph24

I feel the most effective way to get people to link to your
web site is by offering web masters the option of giving
away your free stuff. In exchange, they link to your web
site. Why would other web masters want to do this? They
may want give away a freebie to draw traffic to their web
site. They also may not have the time, knowledge or skills
to give away certain types of electronic freebies from their
web site.

Your links will just keep multiplying. When a web master
offers your freebie to his or her visitors. Those visitors may
decide to also give away your freebie. And so on and so
on... The more people that link to your web site the more
traffic you'll get. Below are four of the most popular types
of freebies given away on the internet to increase traffic.

Free Software

Offer free software from your web site. The software could
be freeware, shareware or demos.

Free Online Services

Offer a free online service from your web site. The online
service could be an e-mail account, search engine submission
or e-mail consulting, etc.

Free Information

Offer valuable free information from your web site. The
information could be a report, article, e-book, online audio
recording or e-mail course, etc.

Free Affiliate Program

Offer a free affiliate program from your web site. The
affiliate program could be pay per sale, click through,
two tiered, etc.


Now, I know, there are many other ways to get links
like trading or exchanging links with other web sites or
joining a banner exchange. You can also do joint ventures
or cross promoting. I feel these are not as effective as
multiplying your links. I hope this article can help you
increase traffic to your web site.

How To Use Database Marketing To Skyrocket Your Online Profits
Joseph Valenzuela


http://www.payitforward4profits.com/joseph24

Database Marketing is the gathering and storing of specific information
about your prospects or customers. This information is usually stored in
a database program on your computer. You would then use the information
to market and advertise to them. It can save you time and money because
you can target your promotional efforts to your best prospects or
customers.

The Types Of Information To Collect

The information will vary depending on the product or service you're
selling. If you're selling a product that costs $2 you wouldn't collect
information about their yearly income. If you're selling web space you
wouldn't collect information about what type of books they read. The
basic information you need would be all their contact information,
purchase history, and birthday. You will need to decide what other
information would benefit your business.

How To Collect This Information Online

It's pretty easy to collect this information online but the hard part is
getting people to give it you. The best way to collect this information
is to give them something FREE in return. Ask them to fill out an e-mail
survey before subscribing to your free e-zine. Tell everyone who visits
your web site they will get a free e-book when they fill out your online
questionnaire form. Ask them this information before they sign up for a
free contest at your web site. Sometimes you have to give a little
something to get a little information online.

Beneficial Uses For Your Database
Find out your customers purchasing habits. Use the information to
improve the design of your web site. Use it to write all your
advertising material more persuasively.

Find out the things they like or dislike about your business. Use the
information to target your best prospects.

Find out how much money your prospects or customers make. Use it to
improve your customer service.

Find out what new products or services they need or want. Use it to test
ideas before launching a total sales campaign.

Find out how to your improve your existing products or services. Use it
to build your customer loyalty.

Find out which benefits or features they like most about your products
or services. Use it to send electronic greeting cards on holidays or on
your customer's birthdays.

The list of beneficial uses are endless. Do you see the importance of
collecting this information? The Internet makes the process of
collecting this information quicker and cheaper than offline methods.
Take advantage of database marketing and watch your online profits
skyrocket.

Survey Says
Joseph Valenzuela


http://www.payitforward4profits.com/joseph24

Do you have a list of e-mail addresses of your customers or
prospects? Do you have a list of e-zine subscribers? If you
have their permission, send them an e-mail survey to conduct
market research. See if customers are satisfied with your
products or services, or see if they enjoyed their visit at
your web site.


You can learn things you didn't know about your business by
surveying. Maybe your customers buy your main product just
to get the free gifts. Your visitors may think it's to hard to
navigate through your web site. You may find out that most of
your customers make over $100,000 a year. By knowing this
type of important information you can improve your web site,
products/services, advertising, and marketing.


3 Popular Types Online Business Surveys

Customer Satisfaction Surveys - what did you like or dislike
about our product or service, what can we improve or add,
how satisfied are you with our customer service, etc.

Web Site Feedback Surveys - did you find it to easy navigate
through our site, did you find the information you wanted, what
did you like or dislike about the site, how did you find our
site, etc.

Demographic Surveys - what's your gender, age, income,
occupation, marital status, etc.


Sometimes people don't want to take the time to fill out a
survey. To encourage them to fill out the survey offer them
a freebie if they fill it out. Some ideas are free ebooks, free
advertising, free reports, free internet services or a free
e-zine. Hold a free online contest or sweepstakes and ask
visitors to fill out a survey before they enter.


If you don't yet have an e-mail address list you could post
your survey on appropriate newsgroups, forums and e-mail
discussion lists. You could also upload survey software to
your web site or use a free survey service on the internet.
To find such services just type in the keyword "survey" in
your search engine of choice.

6 Payment Offers That Sell Like Crazy
Joseph Valenzuela


http://www.payitforward4profits.com/joseph24

The way you structure your payment offers can increase your
sales. I'm not talking about the way people pay like credit
cards, digital payments, checks, and cash options. What I'm
taking about is can your customers try before they buy, pay
later, make payments, do they get a rebate, etc. Below are
six payment offers that will sell like your products or services
like crazy:


1. Sample It

Offer your customers a free sample or short version of your
product or service. Your sample should give them only a few
benefits of the full version. This will entice them to purchase
the full version to get the total benefits.


2. Name Your Price

Offer customers a choice of want they can pay for your product
or service. List your original product and price then add another
product with it for a little higher price. Your orders will increase
buy letting the customers choose their price.


3. Free To Try

Offer your customers a free trial of your product or service.
You could offer the free trial for 5 to 30 days. This is showing
them that you have confidence in your product or service and
it will sell itself.


4. Give A Little Back

Offer your customers a cash back rebate after they buy your
product or service. I feel a good rebate would be a least 10%
of their purchase price or higher. This will increase your sales
and, like most of us, they will forget to turn in the rebate.


5. Pay Later

Offer your customers the choice of being billed later for their
purchase. Bill them in a few weeks or a month. This will stop
you from losing customers who can't afford to purchase your
product or service at that time.


6. Little At A Time

Offer your customers the option of paying you a little at a time
for your product or service. You could divide up the purchase
price into bi-weekly or monthly payments. You won't lose
customers that may not be able to pay the full amount at that
time.

How To Use Bartering To Gain An Advantage Over Your
Competition
Joseph Valenzuela


http://www.payitforward4profits.com/joseph24

If you have a business on the Internet you should be bartering
goods and services with other businesses. You should always
try to trade for something before you buy it. Barter deals
usually require no money. Although sometimes you may need
money to offset the value of the goods or services being traded.

Bartering will give you many advantages over your competition.
It can save your business money. You can spend the extra
money on a buying paid Internet advertising. It allows you to
offer your products and services at a lower price than your
competition. You can afford to get the higher priced goods and
services to compete on the internet.

There are numerous ways to find barter deals online. Set up a
barter message board or chat room on your web site to get
more barter offers. Note on your web site or e-zine you are
willing to barter for goods and services. Join newsgroups or
e-mail discussion groups that are about bartering. Join an
online barter club to meet other businesses that barter. Find
web sites that barter by looking up the keywords barter, trade,
or swap in your search engine of choice.

There are a few things you should do before bartering. Compile
a list of your goods and services you are willing to barter.
Make a list of goods and services you need or want for your
online business. Know the approximate cash value of the
things you are trying to trade and the value of the things you
are seeking in return. All of this information can help you
negotiate a successful barter deal.

When proposing a barter offer, tell the person the benefits of
the barter deal. Explain to them why it would be a win/win
situation. Give their business many compliments in your
proposal. Prove to them why it would be a fair trade. This
type of proposal can increase your chances off them saying
"Yes, I will barter.

How To Increase Your Online Sales Anytime
Joseph Valenzuela


http://www.payitforward4profits.com/joseph24

Hold a discount sale on your web site. Use the sale to get
rid of excess inventory, gain new or repeat customers, and
increase your sales. Most businesses pick a theme for their
sale, like a Halloween Sale. Below are six unique sales
themes you could use:


Nobody's Visiting Today Sale

Every online business has low visitor and sales day through
the week. My days are Tuesdays and Thursdays.You
could sell your products or services for cheaper to increase
and sales on your slow days. You could have this advertised
right on your web site.


Time Of The Day Sale

Periodically , pick out a time of the day like 5 to 7 pm to
lower your prices. With online sales you need tell people
the time zone. Announce your scheduled times ahead of
time in your e-zine. This will give people enough time to
plan when they will visit your web site.


Product Or Service Of The Day Sale

Each day offer different product or service at a lower price.
This will draw people back to your web site everyday. This
is a high traffic generating sale. If you don't have a lot of
products and services you may want to run the sale weekly
or monthly.


Niche Group Sale

Hold a sale for a niche groups of people. Students, senior
citizens, single people etc. This really works if your
introducing a new product or service for the first time to a
new target audience. Announce your sale in a targeted
e-zine, e-mail discussion groups, message boards, etc.

your no scrooge. Be creative and go as far as decorating
your web site. You could upload holiday and seasonal
graphics. Change the color of your text to match. Get in the
spirit!

How To Eliminate Your Competition Without Bloodshed
Joseph Valenzuela


http://www.payitforward4profits.com/joseph24

So how do you eliminate your competition without bloodshed? You must
create a niche for your business. A niche is something that makes your
business different from your competitors. To compete with other
businesses nowadays (especially online) you need something that nobody
else can copy. One of a kind!

First you must know who your competitors are. Is your business the only
one of its type? I doubt it. If so, it won't be for long. Do you know your
exact target audience? If not, you will have to find out this information
before creating any kind of niche. Below are two ways to come up with a
competition eliminating niche.

1. Just Ask! The first way to come up with a niche is to think like your
target audience or customers. Know their exact needs, wants, goals,
problems and interests. There're two ways to do this: The first way is to
put yourself in their shoes, think like them. The second way is to give them
polls and surveys to find out what they're thinking. Pick a niche that none
of your competitors are using. If you can't find one that your competitors
aren't using pick one to improve.

2. Just Think! The second way to come up with a niche is to use
your brain power. Ask yourself questions like: How can I set myself
apart from my competition? What could I offer that they can't? Imagine
or daydream that your business is on top of all your competitors. What
niche put your business at the top in your head? Now, if you keep asking
these questions your mind will eventually start shooting out more ideas
than you can handle. One of those ideas may be the niche you're
searching for.

Now that you have your niche that's just half the battle. You must test
it. Does your niche appeal to your target audience? Will it attract
people away from your competition? If it does, you're done, until your
competition comes up with a better niche. If your niche doesn't, than
repeat the process above and test a new niche until it works. If you
want to eliminate your competition and be successful you will use this
process several times in your business life.

Cross Promote Online For Maximum Profits
Joseph Valenzuela


http://www.payitforward4profits.com/joseph24

Cross promoting is when two or more businesses promote
their products or services together. I try to find businesses
that have the same target audience, but are not in direct
competition with my business. Doing cross promotions
with other businesses increases your profits, sales, and
beat your competition.


You can find businesses to cross promote all over the
Internet. Participate in e-mail discussion groups, online
forums and newsgroups that deal with your target audience.
Subscribe to e-zines that deal with your targeted audience.
Note on your Web site or e-zine that you are interested in
cross promoting your products and services. Search in
your favorite web directories and search engines to find
targeted businesses.


Cross promoting has many benefits. Save money by
sharing the advertising and marketing costs. Save time
when both businesses share the workload. You can offer
your customers new products and services. Get referrals
from the other business' clients. Receive valuable
information from the business.


Once you find a business you would like to cross promote
with simply e-mail them your proposal. Tell the business
owner the benefits of the cross promotion. Explain to him
or her why it would be a win/win situation for both of your
businesses. Give them a lot of compliments about their
business, Web site, products and services. Using all three
methods above will greater your chance for a profitable
cross promotion. Good Luck!

Build A Successful Business By Staying Connected
Joseph Valenzuela


http://www.payitforward4profits.com/joseph24

Over the course of your business life you'll come in contact with a
number of other business people. They could be lawyers, business
services, suppliers, customers, etc. These people are important to your
business in more ways than one. If you hired them or they bought your
product or service, you can also gain their business knowledge,
experience, ideas, and advice. How do you do this? Stay Connected!
Network! Networking is when two or more different businesses stay in
contact on a regular basis to build and improve each others business.

Consider all the benefits you'll gain from talking to other business
people:

Knowledge or information that you didn't have before
Advice on how to solve a current business problem
Leads to a new business project or opportunity
Joint ventures and cross promotion deals
Learn important skills that you didn't have before
Constructive criticism that improved your business
Brainstorming that sparks a profitable business idea
Encouraging and motivational statements

There are many ways to meet business people. Join business clubs and
associations. Participate in on-line business-related forums, e-mail
discussion groups, and chat rooms. Go to business expos and trade shows.
Use your creativity to come up with even more ideas.

If you have the time, start your own networking group. You could hold
meetings at a local seminar room, at a park , or at your own business
building. If you want to hold meetings on-line use a private chat room.
Publish a print or e-mail newsletter to keep members informed of meeting
time and dates.

Keep all your business associates' contact information all in one
place. Have it organized by business type or profession for easy
finding. So when you need some advice on a new marketing campaign you
can call that marketing expert you met at that trade show in Ohio a
couple of weeks ago.

Networking is a surefire way to build a successful business. I have
used it countless times and will continue too. I have also met a lot of
business people who are now some of my closest friends.

How To Draw Visitors To Your Web Site By
Holding An Online Contest Or Sweepstakes
Joseph Valenzuela


http://www.payitforward4profits.com/joseph24

Holding a contest or sweepstakes can draw a lot of traffic
to your Web site. You can announce your site to hundreds
of Web sites that list free contests and sweepstakes. Send
out a press releases about your contest or sweepstakes.
Ask entrants to your contest or sweepstakes if they would
accept offers from your business in the future by e-mail.


The prizes should be something your target audience would
need or want. Try to be as original as possible with the
prizes you are offering. Always offer more than one prize,
a grand prize and runner-up prizes. Use your products or
services to give away as prizes. Make sure your prizes have
some value, nothing cheap. Give enough information about
all the prizes, so people will be interested in entering.


Make it easy for people to enter your contest or sweeps-
takes. I feel the easiest ways online are from an entry form
on your Web site or by e-mail. Capture as much info. as
you can when they enter your contest or sweepstakes like:

Company Name
First/Last Name
Street Address
City, State, Zip
Day/Evening Phone Number
E-mail Address
Web Site Address
Purchasing History
Survey Questions


Give your contest or sweepstakes a professional look and
feel. Provide an "Official Rules" Web page for your contest

The Secrets Of Chat Room Marketing Exposed
Joseph Valenzuela

http://www.payitforward4profits.com/joseph24

Chat Room Marketing is the use of online chat rooms to
promote your product or service. Chat rooms are usually
broken into categories. Find the right chat room where your
targeted audience would gather. Create a chat room profile
with your ad, business info, or signature file in it. Announce
to everyone in the chat room something interesting or free
that's offered on your web site. This will draw visitors to
your web site. Always be aware of chat room rules before
engaging the visitors in a sales pitch that could be considered
SPAM.


Send electronic messages to target people in the chat room
that would be interested in your products or services. Start a
conversation with them. After a few moments indirectly
bring your sales pitch into the conversation. This is a great
way to do one-on-one selling electronically. Do not directly
SPAM them with your messages.


~Marketing With Your Web Site's Chat Room~

Just having a chat room on your Web site can create an
online community and bring visitors to your Web site. Host
a free online seminar in your chat room about a subject of
your expertise. Use a chat room to meet with current
customers if they have any questions or problems. Regularly
schedule free events in your chat room. Schedule experts to
speak in your chat room.


Host other people's chat rooms as an expert. Charge for
doing this to earn extra money or just do it for free to gain
publicity. Make sure your spelling and grammar is correct
when chatting, so people understand what you are typing.
Use some chat room emotions and acronyms to help people
understand you're typing.

Use " :D " to show your laughing

Use " :) " to show you are smiling

Use " BTW " which means "by the way"

Use " FAQ " which means "frequently asked questions"

Use " IMHO " which means "in my humble opinion"

Use " LOL " which means "laughing out loud"

Use " TU " which means "thank you"


Marketing your products or services in chat rooms is a
more personal way to gain new customers. Prospects are
actually communicating with you instead of reading your ad.
You may even make a few friends along the way.

All businesses are created first by ideas. Then once you're in
business you need ideas for marketing, advertising, solving
problems, product development etc. The difference between

Below are three ways to generate profitable business ideas.

brain will generate profitable ideas by absorbing and
rearranging this information on a regular basis.

Online Business Press Release Writing Tips And Ideas
Joseph Valenzuela


http://www.payitforward4profits.com/joseph24

Press releases are one of the most cost-effective ways to
get promotion for your online business. Many entrepreneurs
ignore this type of promotion because they don't know how
to write a press release. It's important to promote your online
business with press releases because of the media all over the
internet. The following is a list of some common press
release writing tips:


- your press release should sound like news, not an ad

- you should only send your press release to the media
related to the topic of your press release

- keep your press release one page in length

- your header, contact information and release date should
be at the top of your press release

- use short sentences and double space in between
sentences

- your header and first few sentences should capture the
readers attention

- you should tell a story and briefly mention your business,
product or service in the body of the press release


- proofread your press release many times. Look for
grammar and spelling mistakes.


Another reason entrepreneurs ignore promoting their online
business with press releases is because they don't know
what's newsworthy. Here are 16 online business press
release ideas:


- new products or services you're offering on your web site.

- the results of an online survey or poll you've completed

- a virtual trade show or seminar you're hosting.

- a free chat room class you're teaching

- your opening of a new web site

- an online award your business or web site has won

- a free e-mail newsletter you're publishing

- new online products or services you're giving away

- an online business association or club you're starting

- a famous person that's endorsing your business

- a major joint venture you're doing with another business

- a new book or e-book you wrote

Reward Your Customers
Joseph Valenzuela

Reward Your Customers

The formula for success for any business is to get your
customers to make repeat purchases. There are a number
of factors involved for getting repeat customers: pricing,
quality of products and services, excellent customer
service etc. One of the best ways is to reward your
customers for their repeat purchases. Here are three
effective customer reward programs you could implement:


Number Of Purchases

This program is based on the number of purchases made
by any customer. You could give away a free product or
service to any customer that makes ten or more purchases.
To make the program more effective you could require a
set time period that all ten purchases must be made by.



Dollar Amount

You can require a certain dollar amount be spent before
the customer receives a reward. Tell customers if they
spend over $50 in one month at your web site they get a
50% discount on their next purchase. You could also just
reward one customer who spends the most every month
with a bigger reward like a vacation.


Points System

Reward customers a point for every one-dollar they spend.
Lets say customers can get a free computer for 300 points.
That means customers will spend $300 dollars on your
products and services to get enough points to get the free
computer. To push slower selling products or services just
offer more points per dollar spent for those particular items.


The kind of rewards you give should depend on what your
business can afford. Cheaper rewards could be gift
certificates, coupons, clothes, or movie passes. Expensive
rewards could be jewelry, vacations, bed and breakfast
gift certificates, electronics or computer equipment.


You may want to invest in a good database program to
keep track of your rewards program. I also recommend
contacting a legal professional for advice, set-up and the
structure of your rewards program. I hope these ideas I've
given you help make your business more successful.

Redecorate Your Web Site To Increase Sales
Joseph Valenzuela


http://www.payitforward4profits.com/joseph24

The use of the right colors on your web site can actually
increase your sales. When people see certain colors they can
change their emotions or they can symbolize things related
to the colors. Here are a list of colors with some emotions
and symbolizations they can cause:


Red - love, excitement, warmth

Pink - romantic, affection, sensuality

White - purity, peace, perfection

Blue - sky, water, travel, freedom, truth

Purple - royalty, dignity

Black - space, night, authority

Green - money, calm, envy, greed

Yellow - light, purity, understanding

Orange - autumn, youthfulness, fire

Brown - wood, comfort, strength


Its very important to know which emotions or symbolizations
will trigger your target audience to buy your product or
service. If your selling a money-making product you should
use green colors to represent money or bring out the emotion
of greed. People also associate comfort and travel with
money so you maybe want ad in some brown and blue
colors on your web site.


The same principle can be applied to graphics or pictures
of your product on your web site. Package your products
with colors that will trigger your audience to buy. If your
selling a book about how to be more romantic, use red
and pink colors on the cover. I hope these simple web
site color techniques will increase your business's sales.

audience, but are not direct competition with my business.
Here are a few ways to find joint ventures online:

-subscribe and participate in e-mail discussion groups, online
forums and newsgroups that deal with your target audience

-subscribe to e-zines that deal with your targeted audience

Once you find a business simply e-mail them your proposal.
Tell the business owner the benefits of the joint venture.

both of your businesses. Give them a lot of compliments about
their business, Web site, products and services. Using all three
methods above will greater your chance of constructing a
profitable joint venture. Good Luck!

10 Scorching Ways To Heat Up Your Sales
Joseph Valenzuela


http://www.payitforward4profits.com/joseph24

1. Email each visitor a satisfaction questionnaire
after they purchase. This will allow you to improve
your order system, customer service, site, etc.


2. Give a percentage of your profits to a cause your
customers would like. It could be a charity, school,
environmental improvements, etc.


3. Take harsh criticism the right way and improve
your online business. Don't get down in the dumps,
improve the situation so it doesn't happen again.


4. Try bartering before you buy services, supplies
and equipment for your business. You can use the
extra money you save on advertising your business.


5. Give away a follow-up email course on an auto-
responder. Include your ad with each lesson. People
will buy quicker when they see your ad repeatedly.


6. Make sure your classified ads don't sound like
an ad. Don't ask people to buy anything or they
won't click, give something away instead.


7. Give your free bonus products extra perceived
value. Don't use the phrase "free bonuses" use the
phrase "you will also get".


8. Keep your visitors on your web site longer. The
longer they stay, the greater chance they will buy.
Just hold a treasure hunt contest on your web site.


9. Make sure you're always creating new products
and services or improving old ones. Most products
or services won't stand the test of time online.


10. Split the cost of online advertising and marketing
by sharing a web site with a similar, non-competing
business. You would both put up half the cost.
