When in a bookstore, leave your business card within thefirst 4 pages of books related to your target audience. Ifthey're interested in the book's subject, they'll probablybe intrigued by your business card as well, and visit yourwebsite, call you, email you, etc.Off-line generated prospects are also proven to be morelikely to buy once visiting your website, in comparisonto prospects generated online. Kind of like playing "hardto get" I guess.2. Use an email "header" to immediately remind prospects ofthe benefits you offer. A header is just like a signaturefile, but at the very top of your email.You can use a simple 2-3 line header, stating who themessage is from, and a short one line advertisement for oneof your websites. Place headers in your newsletters/ezines,autoreponder messages, mlm prospecting emails, etc.Note: This can also be a great way to "test" your headlinesand it works like crazy! I mean it.3. Write high-quality, information intense articles for more free publicity. Hey, if you have the time to write them, people almost always have the time to publish them for you and create a storm of free exposure!One article a month from your fingertips could mean an extra $200 a month addition to your bottom-line, or easily more. For the few hours it takes to write and distribute, it's more than worth the work. Like Simon Baxter said "Get your name out there as someone who knows where it at!"4. Impliment a simple form of viral marketing.There's many great ebooks on the Internet that you can getfree, and brand with your website's URL and contact info.This is a phenomenal way to build an opt-in email list fast, and promote your website on the backend.My personal favorite has always been the "TrafficVirus"edition by Jimmy D. Brown - available free at:http://www.roibot.com/w.cgi?R39995_TV35. Barter, trade and partner-up for profits.You could trade for traffic, ezine ads, products, services,etc. Bottom line: You can boost your sales without spendinga penny more. Get creative and exciting things can happen.6. Write your own ad copy for affiliate programs.Spend some time creating your own unique, powerful ad copyin order to "stand out from the crowd". This will leavethe other affiliates in your dust and give you a strongadvantage over your competition.7. Get an inexpensive, custom-made sticker advertisement for your vehicle's rear window. Why not? State your USP (Unique selling position) in BOLD letters with your website address below it. Think about how much driving you do sometimes, and how many people will see that sticker!
