Tips and tricks for managing your customer list via newsletters

Today I'd like to share with you some tips about building and managing your customer list. Remember, if you have a website with a customer list, you MUST email your customers to raise your income.The most common way to do it is by writing newsletters.
Newsletters can be a pain to write, but guarantee a very good return on investment. Thanks to my experience, I put together four simple MUST FOLLOW rules that can turn a poor newsletter marketing attempt into a great success. Enjoy!

1: Broadcast Monthly - As a rule I send out at least one message per month just to keep communication lines open. You don't want to constantly barrage your customers with sales pitches every time you communicate with them. So in my monthly broadcasts I usually inform my customers about any new resources that have become available at my site. I often upload free articles that I source from copyright-free places or websites that I partner with. If you can, try and create unique resources of real value - writing articles yourself
is an option if you have knowledge about the industry your business operates in. I inform my customers about what's new and end with a small reminder about our services.10% sales pitch, 90% good content.

2: Offer Discounts - I have a list of people that have yet to become customers, my prospects list. For this list I have an automatic series of responses sent out, first starting weekly, then turning monthly that offers them enticements to join. Once a prospect has been subscribed to my list for a long time I have an
automatic email go out offering them a discount to try my business out. I even cut the price to the point where I don't make a profit just to get the prospect to try the service. I know if they like it they will use it again so often the act of converting them into a customer is the final roadblock that a discount offer removes.

3: Encourage Referrals - One of my favorite techniques is to offer incentives for my present customers to bring in their family and friends. The easiest customers to acquire are from current customers recommending your business. Word of mouth is always the best marketing method so why not encourage it as much as you can?Each current customer is potentially the best salesperson you could ever find and sometimes all it takes is an offer, like a credit for services/discount voucher or even just an email suggesting they tell friends about your business. Happy customers are happy to spread the word, they just sometimes need a little nudge to do it.

4: Market Research - Are you considering launching a new product?Maybe you want to know what your clients think of your customer service? How about gathering statistics about your customer demographics to help with future marketing efforts? All these questions can be answered by sending a survey to your list. Perhaps you can offer incentives to fill out a survey such as discount vouchers, two-for-one deals or free samples. However you do it,your current list is a fantastic store of minable data just waiting to be accessed. Services like SurveyMonkey.com give you the tools to create online surveys easily, which can be linked from
or included in one of your broadcast emails to your list.

25 Tips and tricks for website promotion

In this post i will discuss on great tips and tricks to get the best out of your website promotion. Here I have published a list of 25 MUST-DOs to get the ultimate online success. Enjoy!

1: Let people know about your affiliate program.
Submit it to numerous affiliate program directories, announce it in your newsletter, put it in your signature file, etc.

2: Tell your visitors exactly what you want them to do on your site.
You may want them to order your products or subscribe to your newsletters etc...

3: Focus your site on your visitor's desires, not on yourself.
They want to know what's in it for them!

4: Try not to get caught up in loading your site with technological gizmos and gadgets.
Concentrate on your words, they will do the actual selling.

5: Create your own ad copy; don't copy the basic run of the mill ad copy.
Don't be afraid of trying something different to increase your sales.

6: Change you ads regularly. Your prospects can get bored seeing the same ad all the time.
They usually see the ad 7 times before they actually buy.

7: Lower your negative word of mouth marketing.
You'll always have customers that are dissatisfied.Try to please them as much as possible.

8: Give people a deadline to order.
Tell people if they order by Feb 28, 2011 they'll get a discount or a free bonuses. This creates a sense of urgency so they don't
put off buying.

9: Offer people a money back guarantee.
The longer the guarantee the more effective it will be. It could be a 30 day, 60 day, 1 year
or lifetime guarantee.

10: Have some business cards printed up with your web site address and other business information. 
Pass them out to people you meet or that might be interested in your business.

11: Have a magnetic sign made with your web site address. 
Place it on your car door or roof when you are traveling.

12: Have some flyers printed out with your  web site address.
Keep a few with you to hang on bulletin boards you may come across in your travels.

13: Have some pens imprinted with your web site name.
When you are done filling out your check or signing receipts leave it there for the next person to use or keep.

14: Have some mugs imprinted with your web site address and other business information.
Use them when you have company or give them away to friends as gifts.

15: Write your ad copy like you're talking directly to your visitors.
Use the words "you", "your", and "you're" a lot in your ad copy.

16: Create a free ebook directory on a specific topic on your site.
People will visit your web site to read the free ebooks and may see your product ad.

17:  Place colorful graphs, pie charts and other charts in your ad copy.
Use charts that will grab a persons eye and also support your product claims.

18: Highlight buying incentives like free bonuses and money back guarantees.
You could place them in boxes or in front of a different colored background.

19: Use short sentences or sentence fragments in the body of your ad copy.
A short burst of words can catch a skimmers eye with one quick glance.

20: Highlight all the important keywords and phrases in your ad copy.
You could use bolding, underlining and color to highlight
the important words.

21: Use a headline that catches the attention of your target audience. 
One of the most effective ways is to use a free offer
as your headline.

22: Use attention grabbing adjectives to describe your product.
For example sizzling, high power, killer, eye popping, etc.

23: You could create a new market for your existing product.
For example, if you're selling plastic bottles to a pop company,
you could turn around and sell those bottles to a fruit drink
company.

24: Offer a free trial or sample of your product.
This increases the perceived value because people think you're confident in your product, so it must be good.

25: Package your product with a lot of bonuses.
This increases the perceived value because people feel they are getting more for their money.

Get Instant Feedback When You Publish by Scott Berkun

For months we've been studying how, when and why people publish their posts, and what the common tasks are people perform afterwards. We know many of you immediately want to see what your post looks like, check for typos, and then share your post to social networks.

Starting today you'll see a much improved design for giving you feedback and supporting how you work.

The first thing you'll see, after your browser finishes telling WordPress.com you have a new post, is positive feedback your post was successful. We now notify you as soon as possible that everything went smoothly. At the same time, we're loading your actual post to show you.

 

Once the post loads, which can take a few seconds, you can confirm it looks as you expected. If you find a typo in your post (which can be easier to spot in the published post, than on the edit screen), you can quickly click Edit and switch back into edit mode to fix it.

 

If everything in your post looks good, you'll notice some smart things we've done to both help improve your post, and to inspire you for the future.

The progress bar: we now show a simple progress indicator that helps direct your efforts at a specific target. The goal is automatically set to increments of 5 posts (yes, we are considering allowing this to be customized). An inspiring quotation appears under the bar, as a reward and as motivation for next time. When you reach the goal, you get a nice surprise, and the bar will be reset for next time. Of course posting quality matters as much, or more, than quantity, but research shows having clear goals helps both.

Sharing: if you have the Publicize feature turned on, we show how many people were notified through social networks like Twitter and Facebook, with some of their Gravatars so you can learn more about them. If you don't have Publicize active, you'll see easy to use buttons for manually sharing your post on Twitter, Facebook and Google+.

Tagging: we also know adding tags to your post can make it easier for people to find your work. Based on the content of your post, we use an algorithm to recommend a few tags to add, which you can do with a single click.

We'll continue to study how you post and improve what we do to support how you work. Happy posting.

If you'd prefer the classic experience, you can turn Instant Post Feedback off from your Dashboard, at Settings, Users, Personal Settings.

What is Twitter - is it a social media trend

This is my post on twitter ,i  also blog at technorable.com. Twitter is an information network. Millions of people, organizations, and businesses use it to discover and share new information.

On Twitter, anyone can read, write and share messages of up to 140 characters. These messages, or Tweets, are public and available to anyone interested in them. Twitter users subscribe to your messages by following your account. Followers receive every one of your messages in their timeline, a feed of all the accounts they have subscribed to.

When you combine messages that are quick to write, easy to read, public, opt-in, and accessible anywhere, you have a powerful, real-time way of communicating.

What does Twitter do for businesses?

As a business, you can use Twitter to quickly share information, gather market intelligence and insights, and build relationships with people who care about your company. Often, there is already a conversation about your business happening on Twitter.

 

Why you should get started using Twitter

This guide is designed to help you dive into Twitter’s wealth of information and find what matters most to you. First things first, you might be wondering:  

What's Twitter Anyway?

 

Twitter is an information network made up of 140-character messages called Tweets. It's a new and easy way to discover the latest news (“what’s happening”) related to subjects you care about.

How is it Useful?

 

Twitter contains information you will find valuable. Messages from users you choose to follow will show up on your home page for you to read. It’s like being delivered a newspaper whose headlines you’ll always find interesting – you can discover news as it’s happening, learn more about topics that are important to you, and get the inside scoop in real time.

How to Start Using Twitter:

 

If you remember one thing after perusing this page, it should be this: reading Tweets and discovering new information whenever you check in on your Twitter timeline is where you’ll find the most value on Twitter. Some people find it useful to contribute their own Tweets, but the real magic of Twitter lies in absorbing real-time information that matters to you.

1. DISCOVER SOURCES: find and follow others

 

It’s best to begin your journey by finding and following other interesting Twitter accounts. Look for businesses you love, public service accounts, people you know, celebrities, or news sources you read. (Click here for help finding interesting accounts.) Tip: One great way to find more interesting accounts is see who those you know or admire are following.

2. CHECK IT OFTEN: pay attention to what’s happening

 

Messages from others you follow will show up in a readable stream on your Tweets timeline. Once you've followed a few people, you'll have a new page of information to read each time you log in. Click links in others' Tweets to view: images and videos they have posted, the profiles of users mentioned in their message, or Tweets related to a hashtag (#) keyword they used.

3. TAKE IT WITH YOU: connect your mobile

 

One of the best things about Twitter is that it’s portable. Connect your account to your mobile phone or download a Twitter application to begin reading Tweets on the go. Now you can get updates about traffic problems in the middle of your commute, find out what the players are saying while you’re at the game, or catch up on the buzz about an event you’re about to attend. The possibilities are endless! Tip: Using Twitter via SMS allows you to pick and choose which updates you want from those you follow, so you can get mobile updates from the accounts that matter most to your life on-the-go.

How to Start Tweeting:

 

Many users find it fun or exciting to contribute their own content to Twitter (we call this “tweeting”). If you’re one of them, here are some good ways to get started posting your own Tweets. People you know and people you are interested in what you have to say may follow you and they’ll see all the Tweets you share with them.

1. BUILD A VOICE: Retweet, reply, react

 

Use existing information (other people's Tweets) on Twitter to find your own voice and show others what you care about. Retweet messages you've found and love, or @reply with your reaction to a Tweet you find interesting. Tip: If you're a new user, others are more likely to find your messages if they are Retweets or @replies.

2. MENTION: include others in your content

 

Once you're ready to begin authoring your own messages, consider mentioning other users by their Twitter username (preceded by the @ sign) in your Tweets. This can help you think of what to write, will draw more eyes to your message, and can even start a new conversation. Try posting a message mentioning a celebrity or person you admire – they often respond to fans. You’ll see their response on your Mentions tab. Tip: Can’t think of anything to write? Don’t worry! Like I said, the real magic lies in locating and reading content on Twitter.

3. GET FANCY: explore advanced features

 

As you become more engaged on Twitter, others will begin to find and follow you. Once you're familiar with Twitter basics, consider exploring the site’s more advanced features: lists, direct messages, and favorites. Learn how to include images  or videos in your Tweets, or consider connecting your Twitter account to your your blog, Facebook, or website to show off your updates across the web. Tip: The best way to gain followers on Twitter is to regularly engage and contribute in a meaningful way.

4.Tips and Tricks:

 

Need help finding interesting accounts?

Click Discover at the top of your Twitter page. You can find and follow other accounts in these four ways: 1) browse accounts by category, 2) browse accounts that we think might be of interest to you 3) import your address book contacts to find out which friends are already on Twitter, 4) search one-by-one for people or groups of interest.

Need help using Twitter on your mobile phone?

By linking your Twitter account to your mobile phone number, you can receive and write Tweets via text message. Learn how to get started by clicking here. Or, visit the Mobile Help section of articles.
