When attempting to generate business and attract new clients on the internet, we tend to do things the hard way, subsequently creating more work for ourselves, which is the exact opposite of what we want to achieve! Lets look at some of the ways we can save time and get customers visiting your web site!
Check out http://www.becanda.com for some useful software to place over a thousand classified ads, the majority of them automatically.
For non-automatic classified ads, use the free software available at
http://www.wavget.com/typeitin.htmland fill in the details. Of course, it depends on the market you are trying to reach, but for business purposes it can be very effective.
Combined with auto responders, automatic classified ads can enhance your subscription base significantly. Include details of your newsletter or ezine at the end of the message and activate the auto respond facility prior to delivering your message.
To get unlimited multiple auto responders, which you can also use to run a personalised newsletter check out
http://eb4assist.com. There is a free trial of their service including a shopping cart, help on accepting credit card details and a system to start your own affiliate program.
A great way to add traffic-building responses to your site is using CGI or Common Graphical Interface. Check out
http://willmaster.com for a lot of free scripts, including an excellent script check which confirms whether a link is reciprocated on an adjacent site. It is relatively easy to set up.
A lot of smaller sites like to try and do all of the work themselves, resulting in "a window to the world" that is substandard. If you need graphics or any other computer- specific work done, check out http://elance.com,
an auction web site. You advertise what you need to get done and then interested companies contact you with an estimate via email. I got some outstanding graphics made within a few days of using this service. Highly recommended!
For subscriber sites that require a password, download gator from http://gator.com which will store your passwords for you.
When using the internet, finding what you want quickly can often be a problem. Search engines can either enhance or impede your progress. Consider accessing http://www.Copernic.com for multi-engine search options which run in the background while you are doing something else. Plus it will save your search results until you are ready to look at them. Very convenient!
To keep your customers happy, you need to know what they are saying online. Have a look at their some of their responses at http://karnak.com
Just name the product you're interested in and it will search the net and email you the reply. You can also browse newsgroups for feedback. Try http://www.deja.com/usenet
Your time is valuable so let the computer do the work while you sit back and reap the benefits!
