Now what I'm about to give you in this article is the 10 things you can implement in your marketing or business plan, you'll be amazed that changing only a few simple things can have a huge impact on your sales!
1. Build your own credibility.
Yes my friend! Credibility is the heart of your business, why? It's simply because you don't know them and they don't know you, this is why you need to have something that will make your potential customers trust in you. You can show them that you're an expert in your business by creating an articles related to your business and submitting them to e-zines for republishing.
2. You need to find yourself a business partner.
Find some that related to your business and have the same goals. You can do a cross promote using each other safe list, share marketing strategy or info, even sell package deal.
3. You can start an online auction on your website.
Take advantage from auctioneers and bidders that will visit your auction, the type of auction could be related to the theme of your website so you can draw as many targeted traffic as possible to your website. Remember that traffic will never be profitable unless it's targeted to your business.
4. Compare you business model to other successful business model.
Why do you need to compare it? Because there's no such thing as a perfect business model, you need to do a lot of testing and survey. By comparing your business model to other successful business model you can keep on making improvements!
5. Get yourself a paid advertising.
Don't just rely on a free advertising to promote your business, sometimes you have to spend money to get more results. Think about it for a while, if you can profit just by using a free advertising then you can easily double even triple you profit using a paid advertising program.
6. Include these emotional triggers in your adds/advertisements.
Use ones like power, love, guaranteed, safe, health, discover, instant, secrets, etc
7. Brainstorm your marketing plan frequently.
After several weeks you can sit back and take you time to brainstorm, I'm sure by now, you can see what is working and what is not, this way you can focusing on the one that benefit you the most and start searching for a new strategy.
8. Add services to your main products.

9. Ask your visitors to review your web site.
This way you can get a free advices from them that will benefit you in making an improvements to your website. Remember that there is no such thing as a finish website!
10. Out source some part of your project tasks.
When you find some tasks that beyond your expertise, whether it's a web design, web programming, sales letter, etc, by all means don't force yourself in doing that task alone, you have a choice to hire someone else to do it for you. Remember when you want to do something then you better do it right!
