1. You must have credibility and build trust. Name recognition plays a huge part in building lasting relationships with your prospects.
2. Don’t ignore your customers! Give them excellent customer service and you will have a faithful customer for life.
3. Choose a target market, and then find out what your market really wants. The tighter your niche market is, the less competition you’ll have.
4. Choose a market that can afford your product or service.
5. Use the two-step approach to marketing – generate leads and then convert them to sales.
6. Follow-up is critical. Use an autoresponder to deliver pre-written mssages to your prospects on a regular basis.
7. Use emotional direct response marketing to build relationships with your prospects. Talk about what they want or don’t want, and then find or create the products or services that will fill their needs.
8. Get your own domain name.
9. Joint venture with other websites. Find website owners with content that compliments your products, and suggest a joint venture that benefits both of you.
10. Even if you work from your home, always be professional.
11. Offer a freebie that has a high perceived value. This can help you to build your mailing list and your credibility.
12. Learn to write good ad copy and sales letters, or hire someone to do it for you. If you need some help getting started, I recommend “Instant Sales Letters”.
