Lots of ways exist to help you increase your website visitors. You can spend time, money and considerable effort getting variable results with many of them. Attempting various methods and studying the results has been a focus of mine. I'll review one of my favorites for you.
Offer something FREE to your visitors.
There is a high perceived value on the part of your visitor if you can provide them with useful information. Information has a high perceived-value and can truly change lives.
The first thing for you to overcome is a huge level of cautious mis-trust on the part of your visitor. Overcoming this hurdle is vital to the success of your venture.
Your approach is to locate, capture and share information of value. Searching on-line for valuable information is the most expedient way to go. It doesn't take much search time before you will be discovering subjects and information that folks want to know. Once you find the topics being sought-for, you will want to spend your time learning and writing about them.
One strategy you can employ is to share the information in the form of a multi-day mini-course that people can receive from you. You will find more success if you spend the time necessary to make this a high-quality gift. Taking time and effort now will pay off many times in the future. It costs much less than you might think to do this.
You will be offering to share this information in exchange for your visitor's name and e-mail address. The most efficient way to capture this information is with a 'squeeze-page' You'll use a basic website as the platform for your squeeze page.
Cost is the least of your considerations in getting quality work done these days. You can get your squeeze page up and running within minutes.
Please feel free to call me if you would like to learn how to get your own squeeze page activated right away. You can move things to auto-pilot function starting with these strategits.
Put some steady effort into these methods and you can end up with a profitablel list. Your efforts can become continually more rewarding all the time for all concerned as you move forward with this venture.
You can reach people around the entire world and provide them with value using your valuable products, services and information. Financial as well as emotional rewards can be yours in this process.
You can provide valuable and needed information for internet visitors before ever mentioning your website to them. You can provide good, free, valuable information with a variety of methods. Useful information presented well should be your focus as you move ahead.
Focus on the fact that your online target audience is seeking information. They are NOT there looking for an opportunity to pull out their credit card for you. No trust is a hurdle you will always have in any business. Giving away free information is a very direct way to establish trust. Valuable information can be found readily on the internet. You also likely have more information and knowledge of your own than you realize. There are many sources of information where you can find topics of interest to huge numbers of people.
The article should inform, educate and even enthuse the reader, but should NOT sell something. If you write a self-serving article that is really a sales promotion, it will be very transparent. You will have done more to alienate and push people away than to pull them close. The nearest you will come to sellling something is your resource box at the end of your articles. It will tell them who you are and give them a website address together what they can expect to gain by visiting it.
There is an amazing program I've seen recently that automates the task of article-writing. Among other features, it utilizes a 30,000 word thesaurus. Each word in the thesaurus is linked to 200 synonyms. Merging tables and blocks of words together with sophisticated software is the backbone behind this powerful tool. Science and industry now have the capacity to produce, publish and distribute articles to thousands of readers.
This is truly an invaluable tool for anyone in the internet marketing business for the long haul. Article writing and publication should be an ongoing part of your strategy. If you want more information on these useful tools (or anything else in this article), just contact me.

Internet Marketers: Will You Quit or Overcome The Obstacles Before You?
Article Presented by:
Copyright © 2008 Bill Platt
There is barely an industry on the Internet who has not been touched by those who quit and those who overcome obstacles to success. "Attrition" is a term that describes the "people who quit." I utilize the term "attrition" most often when I am talking about subscribers who leave a newsletter's member list, while others discuss the term in regards to people who quit business opportunities to pursue greener pastures.
Silly Cows and Three-Year-Old Logic
I grew up in rural America, so I fast caught on to the phrase, "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence." Those silly cows can be in a field full of lush, green grass, but it never fails that many of them will strain against the barbed wire fence to reach out for that brown grass outside their enclosure.
My three-year-old once explained to me, "Cows do not have any brains." I told him that of course cows had brains. He insisted they did not. I asked what made him so sure, and he responded, "Well, they don't know how to talk." Ah, the beauty of a child's logic.
Success Online Begins With Commitment
Far too many people on the Internet have yet to figure out how to succeed online, but they are experts in how to quit, before they ever give themselves a chance to succeed. Someone once told me that in network marketing, 80% of all new sign-ups quit one opportunity and move on to the next one, after only two weeks. That is one heck of an "attrition rate".
Success online begins with the acceptance of one simple word, "commitment". Followed closely by commitment is investment. One must invest their time, their heart and soul, and sometimes their financial resources, in order to find the success they desire for themselves.
When I started my current business in 2001, quitting was not in my vocabulary. I started my business with the commitment to stick to my task until I found the success I desired. In March of 2005, I quit my day job (which required 65 hours most weeks, and 90+ hours per week during December) and risked it all on my own belief that I had laid the foundations that would make me successful in the long run. My revenues last year were three times higher than what they were, in the year that I quit working for other people.
After starting my online business, I kept my job for another three-and-a-half years, and then I went solo. I have been flying solo for just over three years now, and each year since leaving my job, I have been met with sales that continue to climb.
I recently did an analysis of my business' growth over the years since I started it. In four of six calendar years, my business grew by more than 100% in just twelve months. For those of you who are not math-savvy, that means my sales doubled in four of six years - it tripled its sales in its first full year (against a partial-year), and it doubled its sales in its third, fourth and fifth years of operation. My business is in its seventh year of operation. I will have my seventh year anniversary in October of 2008.
Overcoming All Obstacles In Your Path
If I had quit my business opportunity after only two weeks like most people do, I would still be working a job 65 hours per week at a job I mostly hated. But, because I was willing to do what was required to overcome the obstacles in my path, I now work from my home, available to my children when they need me. I was glad to leave the job world behind, especially during the Christmas shopping season when I had been required to work 90+ hours per week.
Even now as I write this article, my five-year-old is sitting behind me in my chair as he is fond of doing, and he is watching Spongebob Squarepants as I type. I listen to Spongebob more than I watch it, but I have to tell you, it is truly a funny cartoon. Spongebob's writers realize that mom and dad watch the show too, so they have been kind enough to include jokes that mom and dad can appreciate too.
Obstacles Fall When You Approach
Commitment, investment and overcoming obstacles will deliver you to success online, but "belief" will carry you forward to greatness. When you begin to believe that certain good things will come your way, the laws of the universe will stand behind you and elevate you to greatness.
The following book titles should be required reading for anyone who strives for greatness in life:
"Think and Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill "The Laws of Success" by Napolean Hill "The Magic of Thinking Big" by David J. Schwartz "Think BIG and Kick Ass in Business and Life" by Donald J. Trump and Bill Zanker "See You At The Top" by Zig Ziglar
Each of these books addresses the concept of creating and possessing a real "belief" in yourself and your potential for success. "The Magic of Thinking Big" is my personal favorite, although the book "Think and Grow Rich" runs a close second place for me.
When you strive for a goal, you can reach it with a lot of hard work. But when you believe that your goal will absolutely be achieved by you, call it "faith" if you will, then there is nothing that could stop you from achieving your hearts' desires.
As you gain levels of success in your business and life, you really should use those successes to strengthen your "belief" in yourself and your capabilities. At first, the "ownership of success" will be hard to accept. But, if you continuously apply your success to the foundations of your belief, you will eventually know in your heart-of-hearts that success is yours to possess.
Do Not Be A Quitter
After two years of failure online, many people will quit this online thing and declare to all of their friends and family that no one can succeed online. The declaration will be made as if to assure the listener that if the speaker could not do it, then no one can.
Let me assure you of one thing. If you try to find success online in the same way that the speaker did, then you too will surely fail. But if you pick a target, commit yourself to reaching for the target, invest yourself fully in achieving your goals, overcome all obstacles that will stand in your way, and finally, believe that success is yours to possess, then you will succeed online as many of us have already done and continue to do today. I will sign-off by swiping a book title from Zig Ziglar, "See you at the top."
