Internet Marketing Tip 1
Give your visitors a free membership inside your Members Only web site. Have them sign up to receive a user name and password. You could create a Members Only e-zine to capture their e-mail address and membership updates so they will revisit your web site again and again.
Hold a free contest or sweepstake at your web site. Ask them to give you their contact information to enter. Just get their permission to send them new product offers. You could also announce the winners to them, as well as sending new contest announcements.
Offer your visitors free consulting via e-mail. Have them fill out a web form to e-mail you with their questions. When you answer their questions, include an offer for a product you sell or highly recommend products that could help them. You could join the product’s affiliate program to earn commission if they take your advice.
Hold an interactive poll on your web site. Ask your visitors to e-mail you their vote or opinion. You could send them a "thank you" e-mail and also mention a product you're selling. Tell them to subscribe to your e-zine so they can see the results of the poll.
Ask your visitors to sign up for a chance to get a web site award. Have them e-mail you their contact and web site information. You can e-mail the web- master and tell him/her if they are the winner or not. Include your signature file at the end of your e-mail mentioning a product you sell.
Have visitors fill out a survey on your web site. Give them a free gift as an incentive to complete the form. You can e-mail the results of the survey and offer them a free e-book as a gift for completing your survey. Of course your ad will be in the free e-book.
Trade other forms of advertising with people who link to your web site. You could trade e-zine ads, print ads, autoresponder ads, classified ads, e-book ads, etc. It doesn't always have to be link for link or e-zine ad for e-zine ad. Just make sure it's a fair trade for you.
Give away web space to people for free. Since you are giving it away for free, request they link to your site by placing your ad or banner to the site. Some day you could have hundreds or thousands of web sites advertising your web site for only the cost of your web space.
Join or create a web ring. A web ring is a group of web sites on a similar subject that have agreed to link together. To find a web ring to join, type the keywords "web rings" into your search engine of choice. Just think, everyone who participates in the web ring is linked to your web site.
