You don't wantto miss out on this prime selling season! What can you do to make your site or offer even betterto get ready for these people? How can you organizewhat you are doing to become more effective? CHECK YOUR WEB SITEFirst, let's look at your web site. Is it optimizedfor search engines? You MUST be sure to havekeyworded titles for each of your pages and USE themeta-tags for each page. This raises the question, whatkeywords should I use? This can be a tough questionand, in some cases, will so stump the webmaster that theylet these valuable tools go unused! The solution is to use a keyword tool that will tellyou which keywords are the most popular. When youtype in the first word that pops into your mind relating toyour offer, you will get a list of how many times thatword was used in a search and also a list of relatedkeywords and how many times they were used! You caneven use the related words in subsequent inquiriesuntil you have a long list of very popular keywords.Best of all, this tool is totally free!

I have gotten as high as #6 at MSN for acommon search phrase like "targeted email advertising"using World Submitter ALONE! Don't neglect using thiseffective free tool! Assuming you are promoting your offer on a regularbasis, the next most important thing you can do to getready for Fall is to organize your follow-ups. ORGANIZE YOUR FOLLOW-UPSEmail marketing software, of course, would be theeasiest way to accomplish this, but it is certainlynot the least expensive. Here are some free ways tomake your follow-ups easier: 1. Whenever anyone signs up for one of your offers orprograms with an email address, FOLLOW UP, rightaway! Send them a message thanking or welcomingthem and tell them what you think is the best aspect ofwhat they have just purchased or joined. Be sure togive them your contact information. Then SAVE that message in a folder in you email clientand when someone else signs up to that offer orprogram, copy and paste the same meassge to them,right away. This will save you the time of having tothink up your message fresh every time and also givesyou the opportunity to perfect your message by readingit again before you send it and making any changes youfeel necessary. Save and use subsequent follow up messages in the sameway. Send subsequent messages no less than once amonth and no more than once a week to avoid annoyingdownline members and customers. MAIL TO YOUR LIST WITHOUT SOFTWARE2. If you have a mailing list already, here is a trickto make mailing to them without software a lot faster.Open your mailing list in Excel or some otherspreadsheet program. Just let the program open thelist anyway it wants to. (If you don't have a listcompiled, you can paste lists of addresses as plaintext by using the Paste Special feature. Be sure tomake one long column, that will make it easy to sortthe data and check for duplicates.) With each piece of information in it's own cell, youcan delete all the columns that do not contain emailaddresses and save it. Then, using Word or anothertext document program, open the file you just createdin Excel (be sure your "Open" window displays AllDocuments) and you will get a long list of emailaddresses. Go right to the Edit menu and click whereit says Replace. You will get a small window, clickwhere it says More on the bottom right of that smallwindow, then again on Special at the bottom of the nowexpanded small window. From the Special menu selectParagraph Mark (this should go in the Find What field)and replace it with a comma, then click the replacebutton. Let it replace them throughout the entiredocument and you have a long run on sentence of emailaddress separated by commas. SEND AS FAST AS YOU CAN COPY AND PASTENow, copy them in chunks of twenty and insert linebreaks as you mail to your entire list by only copyingand pasting! Even if you have a list of 500, once you have writtenyour message, you can finish your mailing in less than30 minutes! Be sure to save this document and add newaddresses as you collect them. DO IT ONCE AND YOU'RE DONE!Remember, these tips may seem like work, but once youhave done them, you never have to do them again andthe benefits of having them finished can make all thedifference in how quickly you succeed. NOW is the timeto get READY!
