  Old  Selling Yourself Online. How to be Effective!

by: Anthony Jewell

With so many products and solutions out there that you can sell online, finding what works for you can be a tough process. Once you do know what you want to sell you have to then figure out how you want to sell it. The same rules that apply for selling tea cups are a little different then the rules that you will need to follow to sell an automobile online. What you need to do is figure what your major selling item will be and then use other products on your website to focus around it. If you are selling a car then some focus products would be tires, tools, window cleaner ect...

Now after you have figured out your main product as well as some focus products you then have to design your website and promotion around them. You'll have to figure out what features you want to list and which ones to exclude. The important part of this process is to show the product for what it truly is. Now if you are selling brand new items online then you may not have to worry about this. It really depends on your product field that will determine what features you will list, making sure that you include the good and the not so good in the description. Newer products usually cut this out as well as selling e-products. Just make sure you promote the product for what it exactly is and people will be happy. Trust me, if you sell someone a BMW and it is really a Toyota then you are going to be in trouble. This is the same if you are a webhoster and guarantee 99% up time and only have 90% up time.

When promoting your product as well as offering it on your website, don't forget to include bonus offers with to entice a bigger reply when people are viewing your ads/site. This could be "sign up now and get a free domain with you purchase of 3 months of hosting". It also could be "order now and save 10% on the purchase price". This will give customers a reason for going with your company over your competitors.

Finally make sure when you promote your product or site(especially when it comes to software and e-products) make sure to point out that your company will not only save them money but time. This is extremely important as in the world of business, time is a very valuable object. The more time you save, the more money you can make and that is what every businesses is about!

Good article, I always try and entice signups or purchases by using bonus offers or freebies, people always like to think they're getting more than they actually are

If you build it they will come. Well maybe, but if you give something away free they will sign up. Take care.
