"378 Internet Marketing Predictions" got all my neurons
frying with new ideas... And now you can also take a
peek inside the Ebook written by the "Nostradamus of
Internet Marketing" by simply visiting this web site:

Smart Promotion Tip
===================================
Here's a new tool that will help you to increase your
online sales -and grow your Ezine (or opt'in list) fast
and easy at the same time.
The name is "Click Magnet"...
You may not have heard about it before, but it's a neat
program that allows you to trick popup blockers.
Don't get me wrong... I also disgust all those annoying
popup windows that appear when you visit a web site,
and keep you clicking the small cross in the corner for
ages until you shut down your system...
But when used right, a popup window is an extremely
vaulable tool for any online marketer who's doing "the
right stuff".
A strategically placed popup window can collect your
web site visitors email addresses, and automatically
build a targeted follow up list... 24/7...
Anyway, since you're reading my stuff for a long time,
you should already know how to market your product
in a decent way... I hope ;-)
"Click Magnet" currently sells at $47.00, but I'm giving
you a copy (with Resell Rights included) for only $10...
Yep, you read that just right... $10 lousy bucks, and
it's all yours...
Order "Click Magnet" today, set up the sales page on
your web host, create an ordering link, and start selling
the program to your own list for a hefty $47.00... and
keep all the profits in YOUR pocket.
Go get your copy today, before I change my mind:

"3 Super-tips To Build, Promote And Profit From Your Website!"
By Steve Nash
Are you happy with your website? (Does your business
even have one?)
Does it 'perform' as well as you'd like?
I'm a professional web designer and I always try to
influence the design of a client site with the following
three so-called super-tips.
If I apply these tips to a new (or existing) site, I always
feel that the site will 'deliver' much more.
So here are three super-tips, to help anyone get the
most from their website:
- Make sure your website has a Most Wanted Response
- Use these six strategies to promote your website
- Build trust in you and your website
Tip 1. Make sure your website has a Most Wanted
Response
"What do you mean by most wanted response?"
Well, do you know what the main purpose of your
website is?
Does your site sell goods? Then which items do
you most want to sell?
Does your site offer content, supported by affiliate
programs? Which affiliate programs do you most
want to promote.
Does your site simply operate a newsletter or ezine?
Then do you make it easy for people to subscribe,
from any page on your website?
What is the 'point' of your website?
Dr Ken Evoy introduced the concept of Most Wanted
Response (MWR) in his ebook called: Make Your Site
Sell. In his words... MWR is what you most want your
visitor to do after reviewing your content.
It should always:
- be reasonable
- be measurable
- be a good fit
- qualify your visitor
Tip 2. Use these six strategies to promote your
website
I think you should employ some (or all) of the
following six strategies if you want to successfully
promote your website:
Strategy 1: SUBMIT to search engines and directories
Strategy 2: BID at pay per click search engines
Strategy 3: SPREAD word of mouth
Strategy 4: PUBLISH a newsletter
Strategy 5: KNOW your visitor
Strategy 6: CONTINUE to learn more...!
I'll explain a little bit more about a few of the strategies
below.
Strategy 1: SUBMIT to search engines and directories
As you may know, you do not need to submit your
site to 10,000 search engines. Simply make sure
you get your site listed on major search engines
like Google. This link contains 'add your site' links
to major search engines like Google. Use it.

Strategy 2: BID at pay per click search engines
You must have heard about pay-per-click search engines
like Overture, Espotting and Google AdWords.
Pay per click search engines can deliver guaranteed
traffic to your site at pennies per click.
To learn more about using pay-per-click search engines
(which ones are worth bothering with, etc.) read my
article called 'Pay Per Click To Guarantee Targeted
Traffic!'
http://www.howipromotemywebsite.com/pay-per-click
Strategy 6: CONTINUE to learn more...!
No groaning, please - it's vital that you keep on learning
about new ways to promote your website. Quite simply,
you must always continue to learn.
These resources can help your 'quest to keep abreast':

Tip 3. Build trust in you and your website
So you want to sell online? Well it isn't that easy, I'm
afraid.
One of the first things you must do online is to get
people to trust you and your online business. And
there are a variety of methods of doing this.
I'll cover one method here:
Offer invaluable (and relevant) information, free, via
repeat contact if at all possible.
Or in other words, offer a free ebook, e-mail course
or article. (a bit like the one you're reading right now ;-)
Here's an example...
http://www.best-digital-cameras.co.uk/buying-guide
This is one of my affiliate mini-sites. Usually visitors
take a quick look at the site and then head off to
the main merchant site (in this case Amazon).
So I offer a brief guide to buying a DVD player online,
in the hope that I can build a little bit of trust in my
site, and collect my site visitors' e-mail addresses
(that I may be able to use in the future, when they
have long since forgotten my mini-site).
When done properly, offering valuable freebies can be
powerful stuff. (Just ask Harvey Segal of Supertips.com,
who bases much of his online business on providing
invaluable freebies like this
http://www.anyonecansellonline.com/supertips.shtml
)
Hopefully, you can use the three super-tips in this
article to boost the performance of your site.
Or I may have given you some extra ideas for your
next (or first) site!
Note: this article is an extract from my ebook: "3
Super-tactics I'd Tell *Anyone* - Yes, Even My Mum!
- To Successfully Build, Promote And Profit From
Their Website!" It contains more examples, more links
and more ideas to help you, and is available, free, by
