It does not matter which plan or internet program you are using, as long as you keep the following 9 steps in mind, you will be successful in your online business.


Step 5 - Use email marketing.

It does not matter if your home based internet business site is getting 300 or 3000 visitors a day, most visitors will read only 1 or 2 pages then disappear forever, so you need to capture their email addresses before they leave.

This can be done by using pops-ups offering a free report when they visit your site or a pop –under when they close your site.

Then you need to stay in constant contact with your visitors to establish a relationship with them.

Email marketing is the most effective way to do this, you can show your subscribers you really know what you are talking about and make them comfortable enough to make a purchase from you.


Step 6 -Sell new products to your existing customer base.

It takes on average four to seven contacts with someone before they will be comfortable enough to purchase something from your home based internet business.

The best way to cement your relationship with your subscribers is to do the following,

· Offer products that complement their original purchase.
· Send out lots of helpful information.
· Include an offer for related products on your thank you page.
· Sell affiliate products that complement your product or service

Step 7 - Write a compelling sales copy.

The sales copy is the most important part of your home based internet business web site, it will be the first contact that that most visitors will have with you.

Writing a compelling sales copy is not hard, all y ou need to do is focus on how your product will solve people’s problems or improve their lives.

· Include a headline and sub-headlines packed with benefits.
· Use Testimonials to build credibility.
· Offer a strong guarantee
· Add bonuses


Step 8 - Have a winning web site to convert visitors.

Remember Rule 1, first find a hungry niche, before you find the product. It is the same with the home based internet website, you should only start building your web site, once you know what you are going to sell and have written your sales copy. That way your site design will facilitate the sales, rather than get in its way.

Keep your site simple, you only have 10 seconds when someone arrives at your web site to grab their attention

Step 9 - The power of affiliate programs.

One of the best ways to grow your home based internet business is to launch your own affiliate program.

Affiliates are people who promote your products on their website for a cut of the selling price, every time they send you a buyer, you pay them a commission.

As your army of affiliates will do the advertising & selling for you, you save all these costs and the best part is that you only pay them when they make a sale.
