Marketing tips to survive online:

• Focus on a particular niche. Do not lump everything together on one website. Each site should focus on that particular market so that your audience is targeted. This may mean a separate web host for each site.
• I’ve found that including testimonials from my LinkedIn profile help people get a better understanding about me, my work ethics and my products. It increases the trust factor of your site. Be sure to get approval from participants for any information used on your website. I created a page that display my websites and include the testimonials here.
• Offer something free to your visitors. I give my GamTrak Software application away for free. It’s a great way to collect a targeted database and earn money by inserting my affiliate tag linking to the iGaming sites. Create an eye-catching autoresponder that will get them to sign up. You have to contact them more than once and this is a good method to do so.
• Place useful information for them to make a decision and close the deal. Gear the content to the specifics of why they should buy from your site without making it sound like a sales pitch. Focus on the important points that will get them see how it will benefit them. Don’t use words like ‘free’ to often because some spam filters will dump emails of that nature.
• Get the right kind of traffic to your site. Un-targeted traffic is no good to you and worthless to the visitor.
