Stop Losing Money From Your Website

Are you one of the many Internet Marketers (and I include niche-product sellers in this) who is losing money from your website because you are not making the best use of all its potential sales areas?

When you get a visitor to your site, your primary goal is to get their email address. Make sure you have a system to ensure that when they give their email address they are aware you will be contacting them again. In other words, the first email you send them must ask them to opt-in to your list. If you use a reliable autoresponder service such as AWeber this is done automatically for you. Once you have that email address you can contact your visitor over and over again, thereby increasing the possibility they will buy something from you or join your membership or whatever you are promoting.

And once they have agreed to be on your list make sure you give them plenty of opportunities to buy something from you.

So, Let's get to the nitty gritty and I’ll show you 12 more places where you can advertise something which will either make you more money or build your list.

1. Error Pages: you've seen them. You try to access a site and you get a 'Page Not Found' or 'You don't have permission to view this page’ message. Contact your web server and find out how you can set up your own error pages to:

link to your affilate product
link to a page selling your own product
link to a page collecting email addresses
link to a page offering a One Time Offer
link to a page giving away a free ebook or report (in exchange for an email address)

2. Thank You Page: Whenever someone buys from you they have their credit card out or Paypal details ready. They are in buying mode. After they have paid for your product, re-direct them to your sales page for another product to make even more money.

2a. Alternatively place an ad for a related product or affiliate program on the ‘Thank-You’ page, ABOVE the download link for the product they have just bought. This guarantees they see your sales message before they can download their product.

3. Newsletter sign up. Once someone has used your autoresponder webform to sign up for your ezine, have the autoresponder direct him or her to one of your new sales pages, or an affiliate sales page.

4. Newsletter Unsubscribe: Again, use your autoresponder to re-direct your unsubscribers to your sales page. Put a message on the top saying something like "Sorry you're leaving but before you go please let me give you something of tremendous value", such as an ebook in which you have inserted a link or two back to one of your products or services.

5. Leaving your Website: use an Exit Pop Up with your new sales page or email capture form.

6. This Month's Special Offer: Put a link to your new sales page or affiliate sales page on your website as a monthly or weekly special offer.

7. Free Downloads: If you offer anything for free, re-direct your subscriber to your new sales page before giving them the link to download. Put the link to the download at the bottom of the sales page. This might also be a One Time Offer.

8. When you do give them a link to your download page put some products they can buy at the top of the page.

9. Affiliate Promotions: After you have successfully sold an affiliate product, re-direct your buyers to your new sales page. Or offer all the products listed on your new sales page as a discounted bonus.

10. Membership Site sign up: After someone has joined and paid have them re-directed to your new sales page.

11. Emails. Whenever you send out an email to your list give them a link to a new product (or the same product several times).

12. Bonuses. Whether you are giving something away or selling something, once your visitor receives the product ensure you have a bonus file included in their download. Inside the bonus file put a ‘read me’ file explaining that you have some unadvertised bonuses and how they can use them – also direct them to another sales page on your site. Try to include some free ebooks in which you have inserted links to your affiliate programs or sales pages and tell them to feel free to give these away.

I hope I've alerted you to some new sales spaces you have been ignoring and that you will begin to monetize as many of these areas as you can. I'll be happy to hear from you if you think I have left any out.
