Got a website? Here's how to make thousands of dollars using simple income generating techniques!
First, every website should allow customers to supply you with their e-mail address. You do this by offering them something for free, be it a sample chapter, newsletter, ebook, or article. Give them something that's hard to resist, and have a form on your site that prompts them to sign up and have the information e-mailed to them.
Once you have their e-mail address, you have the opportunity to give them your offer time and time again. Maybe the first time they saw your offer, they weren't in a buying mood. By repeatedly sending them your proposition, you can hopefully catch them in a buying mood and make the sale.
Use an autoresponder for this. Set it up so that a potential customer will receive an e-mail message from you every week for the next few months. Just make sure to always give them the opportunity to unsubscribe.
Step two of creating a profit powerhouse is to offer multiple products.
Not everyone will need or want your product. Offer them products that give different benefits. For instance, I offer a home business that has very little to do with computers, and lets you work four months a year. This type of business doesn't appeal to everyone, so I also offer a computer business opportunity. They are two completely different programs, and most potential customers will benefit from one or the other.
I also offer other products that compliment my item. Some might be free bonus incentives, others might be add on products to increase a customers initial purchase with me. If I'm selling a book on ice skating, I wouldn't stop there. I might offer ice skates, winter wear, and smaller reports that compliment my main product. I could sell my ice skating by itself, and also offer a combination package that gives them my main book plus the additional reports.
The third step is to offer affiliate services and products that you can't provide on your own. An example is I offer a manual on a home business that would require the customer to use copying service. So, I also recommend an online copy place that gives me a percentage of the sale from each of my referrals.
Step four is to outline benefits for every product or service you offer. Even outline benefits of affiliate programs so that customers will feel the desire to click on the link you provide.
And finally, I offer an affiliate program for my own products. Anyone referring a customer to my sales page gets a 50% cut of the sale. And it cost me very little time or labor to maintain, but adds monthly sales to my bottom line that I wouldn't of made otherwise. You can set up your own affiliate program through as well as sign up to offer other products.
