They use it as little more than a place to store their office hours, product or service list. A different way has emerged. Now your web site can be used as an effective marketing tool. Used in the right way, it can spear-head many successful marketing campaigns for you in the near future.

Did you know that many of your prospects (even locally) will type your business name or business web site name in Google to see what you offer? Often they are looking to see what you offer compared to your competitor. Recently, Calif. based USC Annenberg School said from 2005 research, 78.6 Americans go online. An almost equally large percentage 72.3 say that the search engines provide whatever information they are looking for.

How to Leverage the Internet for Additional Income - Part 1

Start by identifying your profit centers and passive income sources you plan to develop from your service online. These will center on publications and services that you offer through your website. Your expanded income opportunities may include:

  • Audio Cassettes. If you speak in your field, you could record your speeches. Don’t expect to get wealthy from them. But audio cassettes will permit you to gain extra mileage from your speeches.
  • E-Books. Take chunks of information from your files. Most professionals gather information about their expertise over the years without thinking about it. Whether you are researching to inform yourself and clients or you are in a work field learning and gaining skills in your service area.

Consider compiling this knowledge into an ebook. (Need help compiling your ebook? I recommend my favorite resource: eBook It! Kit http://www.clickeasymarketing.com/ebookit.html

Ebooks can be short 10-70 page books that you write and format using your word-processor software or a desktop publishing program. After formatting, you use the Acrobat program to convert them into a PDF format (Portable Document Format), which allows you to sell and distribute them as downloadable files from your website or as email attachments.

E-books can offer detailed treatment of specific topics in your area of expertise. The quicker you include these additional income opportunities in your thinking, the easier it will be to develop your marketing plan in a way that promotes these opportunities

More Tips

WEB WIT

Sizzle your web site headlines.
Think about this a moment. What makes a reader click over to your website?

Why do we click one article out of a list of ten or twenty? The headline made the difference. It captured our interest in some way. It stands to reason that we must make our headlines and titles powerful and make people want to know more.

Your title may well be 90% of the pulling power for your website. Researchers say you have less than 2 minutes to hook your prospect. An excellent title is short. The top titles are benefit driven.

Don't forget to heat them up with emotion. Use terms your audience can relate to. Use action words and verbs. Quantify change with ways and time limits. A title like, "8 Ways to Make Your Articles Go the Extra Mile" offers change with a few steps.
