Learn how to generate sales like the Pros do

Even if making more sales is your final objective, if you build your website so that it focuses on getting the sale and nothing else, you will lose a lot of potential income and waste a large amount of resources.

In fact only a very small percentage of your website visitors will purchase from you during their first visit. If you can constantly generate one or two sales every 100 first time visitors you should be really satisfied because you have been able to build a website with a good conversion ratio.

But how about the other 98 people? You simply cannot afford to waste all this potential income as you have spent time and money to generate this traffic. So you must offer all these people a reason to come back and the best way to do that is convincing them to subscribe to a mailing list before leaving your site.

Mailing lists are powerful sales generating tools

Once you have their name and email address you can regularly follow up with them and remind them about yourself and your products. Your mailing list will help your website to generate more sales, this time from returning visitors, greatly improving the overall conversion ratio.

But why should people give you their e-mail address?

Because you can offer them something original that they are looking for and want to have it.

And what's that? Useful information that is related to your website topic and your visitors are really interested to receive it.

How to build your mailing list with autoresponders

One of the most effective mailing list building strategies is the use of email courses delivered via autoresponders.

In case you don't know, an autoresponder is a tool to automatically deliver email messages 'on demand' (for example when a user submits a form on your website). Many autoresponders can be configured to deliver not only a single message, but a series of messages (one every a specified number of days)

All you need to do is writing some tips or a series of 'lessons' in your field of expertise and related to your website topic.

Then sign-up for an autoresponder service unless your web hosting provider already offers autoresponders included in your hosting plan.

Setting up autoresponder and a sign up form

Configure your autoresponder to deliver a tip (or a lesson of your email course) at pre-set time intervals, for example one tip/lesson every other day.

These tips don't need to be very long, but they must contain original and useful information on topics your visitors are interested in. Remember that if you don't want to be considered a spammer, you must provide clear instructions on how to unsubscribe from your mailing list in every email message. Offer your subscribers the information they really need and want or they will leave your mailing list.

Autoresponder services usually provide you with the html code to create a sign up form where your visitors can enter their name and email address to subscribe to your mailing list directly from your website.

Use this code to prominently place the sign up form on your website and don't forget to attract your visitors attention to it with a powerful headline. Explain all the benefits they will receive by subscribing to your mailing list and how useful will be for them the information you can offer.

You should also assure your visitors that their email address will never be sold and they will be able to leave your mailing list at any time.

Wait for sales

If you follow these tips you will discover that your website and your autoresponder powered mailing list used together are extremely effective tools to generate more sales.

Every time a new message is delivered via the autoresponder, your subscribers are reminded of your website and the services you offer. With time, if you can produce good quality information, you will be considered an expert in your field and people will be more likely to purchase from you.

If you want to generate more sales never forget this fundamental concept: do not build a website that focuses on selling your products only. 'Sell' your mailing list too and get subscribers, then treat your subscribers well offering them the quality information they need and they will be converted into customers.
