How To Jump Start Your Profits and Keep Your Profits Rolling

There are so many ways to jump start your prifits and keep your profit rolling. These top 20 ways are essential if you want to run a successful business.

1. Offer to write exclusive articles (that means you only submit them to one place) for high traffic web sites in exchange for a link back to your site.

2. Create a positive online image. Tell your visitors about fundraisers you have sponsored or that you donate a part of your profits to charity.

3. Improve your customer service on a regular basis. Try out new technologies that make it easier to communicate with your customers over the net.

4. Ask your customers what they would like to see offered by your business in the future. This type of information can boost your sales.

5. Make sure your web host isn't losing your sales. If you get an e-mail from someone that told you that they couldn't access your site, it might be your host.

6. Allow your visitors experience to be an enjoyable one at your web site. Provide easy navigation, good content, fast loading graphics, search options, etc.

7. Keep changing or adding freebies to your web site. If people see the same freebie in your ads they will say to themselves, "been there done that".

8. Add a directory to your web site. When visitors submit their web site, e-mail them confirming their link has been added and remind them to revisit.

9. Organize your marketing and advertising into a plan. Create a list of daily, weekly, monthly and all other future promotional plans.

10. Trade links only with web sites that your target audience or yourself would visit. They should offer their visitors valuable content or freebies.

11. Give people a free online utility. When you offer a utility that can solve a person's problem, people will definitely visit your web site.

12. Offer a free affiliate/reseller program. When you offer people a free opportunity to make money they will line up to visit your web site.

13. Supply news stories related to your site. People want current news on the topics they are interested in. You could also include new "how to" articles.

14. Offer your visitors a free community. People like to have a place were they can have discussions with others on a particular subject.

15. Make people feel safe when they order. Explain to them you won't sell their e-mail address and all their personal information will be kept confidential.

16. Offer free samples or trials of your product. This will let people experience your product and attract people to your web site.

17. Make your ad copy attractive. Your ad should lists benefits before the features. Include guarantees and testimonials in your ad.

18. Remind people to come back and visit your site. They usually don't purchase the first time. The more times they visit, the greater the chance they'll buy.

19. Let people know anything about your business history. They'll feel more comfortable if they know who they are buying from.

20. Give people as many ordering options. Accept credit cards, checks, money orders, and other forms of electronic payments.
