1) Analyze all your promotional efforts. Concentrate on the ones that work and drop the ones that don't. Don't waste your valuable time. For example, if you have an affiliate program that hasn't made a sale for two months, drop it or test a different ad. You want all of the real estate' space on your web site making some kind of profit for your business.
1) Increase the perceived value of your product by making your offer scarce. You could use limited time bonuses, low prices, low quantities, etc. One of the best ways is to make your product collectable. You could offer one version of your product with a serial number, then the next version with a different serial number, and so on.
1) Turn your ad into an article. It could be a story, or how-to article. This will lead readers into your ad without them knowing it's an ad. They'll already be interested when they get to your sales pitch. For example, you could start your ad, "Once upon a time" or "Free Report! How to....".
1) Tell your potential customers in your ad copy that you will donate a percentage of their purchase price to a specific charity. This will show them you really care about people. They may just buy your product so their money will go to the charity. For example, you could say, "I will donate .75 cents from each order to the (name) Foundation."
1) Use the word "free" in your ad. People want free incentives before they do business with you. They could be free books, accessories, services, etc. For example, you could say. " Free shipping with every order over $50!" Another example would be, "Order within the next 5 minutes to get 3 extra bonuses free!"
1) Product Discounts
You could offer your visitors a discount on all the products you sell if they subscribe to your free e-zine. For example, you could say, "Subscribe to our free e-zine and get 50% off all our products!" Another example, "Subscribe to our free e-zine and get $8 off our brand new e-book!"
1) Use reward programs to keep people revisiting your web site and buying your products. You could reward them with gifts or discounts for revisiting or buying. For example, you could say "Buy Over ($) Worth Of Products And Get (product) Free!" Another example, "Buy (no.) E-books And Get A 50% Discount!"
1) Promote your products within the content of your web site. If you write and offer free articles, include a mention of the product or service you're selling. You could include it in your resource box or subtly reveal it within your article if it's related.
1) Keep Them Interested
Keep people at your site for as long as possible. Allow them to download free e-books, sign up for contests, use free online services, etc. This will help increase your sales. You could also use pop-up pages, pop-under pages and exit pages too. But be warned, this can annoy some visitors.
1) Provide your web site visitors with content they can't read anywhere else. People will stay longer at your web site to read the original content. You could also allow them to read through your e-zine and archive the back issues on your web site. Or you could charge access to the back issues because it would be original content.
