Offer a newsletter in a time frame that will be easy for you to manage.
Although doing a newsletter is a great idea, do not be too quick to jump on the bandwagon. Almost everyone is doing it but not all are doing it well. The newsletter with the greatest frequency can get quite annoying for the recipients unless it is packed full of useful information. Only those that have the relationship with your company will continue to subscribe.

As you may know, Google has it’s very own blogging service called Blogger.com. If you start a blog with them, you’ll have your own page on the blogspot.com domain which is currently ranked number 32 of the most visited domains on the planet according to Alexa. What does this mean to you? If your pages are being linked to by a site with that high of a ranking, it will increase your sites ranking. But that’s merely a side benefit of using this method.

If the headline is what gets them there, then it’s the *proof* that keeps them there. Follow closely…
- A powerful headline is 10% what you say and 90% what you prove.
- Headlines can simultaneously create curiosity and skepticism.
- Until proven otherwise, your headline is an empty promise.
It’s important that you fully understand that the tidal wave of lies and deceit online have created a gap between you and your target market.
Bridge that gap with TRUST!

Did you know that web linkage is responsible for a significant amount of web traffic?
Search engines are still extremely important but many of the most successful e-commerce sites claim that linkage programs offer a tremendous source of web traffic.
It makes sense. The nature of the World Wide Web encourages serious web surfers to navigate from site to site through the links to other related sites and resources “found” on the sites that are visited. People sometimes forget that the name “web” itself is based on an extensive interweaving of sites, similar to links in a chain.
