How To Make Sales Online Even Without A Website
Steve Beck
The other day, I was shopping around for new products for my customers. Now that I've found them, I need to spread the word to my niche, my core group of clients. There are three tools to help me do this - e-mails, a blog, and a website. Learn how to make sales online using the same methods I've developed for success.
An email is by far the easiest way to tell people about what you have to offer. And if you are selling affiliate products, you don't even need a website or a blog. All you have to do is put your affiliate link in your email and when your readers click on the link, they will be taken to the product web page and if they buy, you will get a commission.
You can also use a blog to sell or display your products. You don't need your own website. All you need is a free account (available at
www.blogger.com/. Write your blog posting and use it to showcase your products. Using a free blog, you can sell anything from physical products to information products and even affiliate products.
Finally, you can display your products on a web page. A website gives you flexibility and control over the final look, though this comes at a price. Before you spend your money on a domain name, hosting, and website, consider the following.
Do you know what the MOST profitable web page known to man is? It is the single page web page (sometimes called the Sales Letter). Think about it. You go to the average web page and you are immediately bombarded with 20 different products and dozens of links that divert your attention.
A single-page site focuses on only one thing - your product. Use a single-page website to tell the customer what's in it for him. Talk about the benefits of your product. And don't add a bunch of links and buttons that distract your customers, taking them away from your product.
Confused customers won't buy your product. Give them only two choices - to buy, or not to buy. Once they have arrived on your site (through a web link, portal page, or other method), give them every reason to stay on your site. The longer they stay, the more likely it is that they will buy.
