Which tools do the successful internet sites use? Your website is a store; it’s you costumer service center; delivery person, and your marketing group all rolled into one. People do not enter stores when the closed sign is up.

A site will scream “closed” if there has not been anything new or useful added to it. So you must somehow make sure that your store has all the new and relevant stuff needed to keep getting visitors to your site.

Use an automated system so it can do this all on its own. If people think you are at home they will come and check things out and inquire about your business. You absolutely must have a costumer service counter. Have a form where they can fill out the required information. Something that is simple as your news letter subscription or a specific question. Have a “FAQ” section on your site.

You truly need to have an auto responder. An autoresponder will keep you front and center of your costumers that have signed up for your news letter. It can send out the already loaded set of emails that you have programmed and when. After 5 emails the likely hood of making a sales increases steadily.

You might think its spamming but keep in mind they signed up to receive the news letter form you and they can unsubscribe any time they like.

When offering a product make sure you through in its a limited time offer. Get a script to keep your deadlines up to date.

It should look like: OFFER to Expire IN XXXX days, So act now before you lose out on this great opportunity. Pop up Generator- Having a pop up window when a potential costumer is about to leave has been shown to increase sales from your page. With any knowledge what so ever any newbie can add a pop up to your site. Use this generator to help you add a button so your customers can tell their friends about your site.

A good idea after adding some of these to your sites would be to check out some of your competitors and check out what they have. It might be a little overwhelming but well worth the effort.

Having a mentor might be an idea for you as well. It doesn’t hurt to have some one who has been there before.

Cheers to your success.
