Internet Marketing Tips

1. Offer a free newsletter that your visitors can sign up for. They will gladly sign up to get fresh and concise information that's really helpful. Make the newsletter personal. Reveal the real person behind the email in their in-box and you'll help your visitors feel personally connected to you and your business.

2. Link to other sites in your field, and ask them to link to yours. Search the web for other sites that are in your field or community but are not direct competitors (Google is my search engine of choice). Put a link to them on your Resources or Links page plus a sentence or two about why you like the site. Then send the webmaster of the site an email, saying that you linked to their site and asking them to return the favor. Some will and some won't, but it never hurts to ask. When other sites start linking to your site, it not only increases your traffic, it helps your page ranking in important search engines like Google.

3. Submit to the search engines Monthly. How to optimize your site for the search engines, how to submit and how much it costs is an entire field in itself. We offer monthly submissions and optimizations for your site. This can range from $105 to over $550 a month.

4. Add a signature line with your web site address on every email you send out, even the personal ones. Be sure it's a working URL that looks like:www.imarketingexpert.com. Include your name, the name of your business, your tag line and your email address. You can also include your phone number(s).

5. Send out a one-time email to everyone in your email address book - friends, family, colleagues, and acquaintances announcing a " Grand Opening" of your new site. Ask them to pass the URL along to anyone they know that might be interested in your products or services. Just good old-fashioned networking. Use a similar email announcement if you do a complete site redesign.

6. Join one or two email discussion lists in your field and post messages to it regularly - with your full signature. Don't market your site, but be helpful to others on the list. Your signature line on your email will speak for itself.

7. Put your web site address on all your print materials - stationary, business cards, and ads in publications, business signs. You need to promote your new site to create a pipeline of sales! At least for the first three months.
