70 Most people want to invest in their future. Tell
your prospects to "invest in your product" instead
of "buy our product". For example, you could say
"It will be the smartest investment you've ever made!"
Another example, "This will be your most profitable
investment of 2002!"
71 Publish your web site in e-book format. Put the
e-book on a disk or CD-ROM then include it
with your direct mail packages. This can increase
the number of people who buy your product or
service. For example, would people open up your
direct mail envelopes right away if they feel a disk
or CD-ROM in them?
72 Most people want the latest and newest things
in life. Use words and phrases in your ad copy like
"New", "Just Released", etc. For example, you
could say, "Just Released: A New Healthy System
For Losing 10 Pounds In 1 Week!" Another
example, "Breaking News! Scientists Have Discovered
A Revolutionary Way To Eliminate Stress!"
73 Most people want to solve their problems. Tell
your prospects what problems they have and how
your product can solve them. For example, you
could say, "Aren't you tired of being in debt? Aren't
you tried of struggling pay check to pay check? Well
now you don't have too. Our product will end your
debt problems forever…"
74 Most people want to make the people around
them happy. Tell your prospects how happy their
friends or family will be if they buy your product.
For example, you could say, "Order before June 23,
2002, and get a second one for a friend. Just imagine
how happy your friend will be when you give them
this incredible product."
75 Most people want to get over obstacles so that
they can achieve their goals. Tell your prospects
which goals they'll achieve by ordering your product.
For example, you could say, "Just imagine getting
back into your prom dress or going out in public without being stared at."
76 Most people want to win over others. Tell your
prospects how their family or friends will admire
them if they buy your product. For example, you
could say, "Imagine how much your girlfriend will
love you when you buy her this stunning diamond
engagement ring!"
77 Most people want to associate with others who
have the same interests. Give your prospects a free
membership to a private chat room just for them.
For example, you could also attract traffic to your
web site by providing a free message board or
chat room.
78 Most people want a clean environment. Tell your
prospects that you'll donate a percentage of your
profits to help clean up the environment. For example,
you could say, "I will donate $1 from every
product I sell to help clean up the environment."
79 Most people want to eat good food. Give your
customers free coupons to a nice restaurant when
they purchase your product. You could contact
a highly recommended restaurant and ask them if they
would like their ad on your web site in exchange
for providing you with coupons to their restaurant.
80 Most people need or want new information to
absorb. Give your customers a free e-book or tip
sheet when they purchase your product. For example,
you could say, "When you buy 2 or more products
at the regular price, I’ll send you an e-book with 1000
recipes for apples."
81 Team up with eight to ten other sites to promote
the same web site. Just include everyone's products
on the web site you are all promoting. You can also
do this with free e-books too. Get others to promote
the free e-book in exchange for an ad in it.
82 Give free e-mail consultations to your customers.
When you e-mail them back your advice, include a
small ad for a back-end product you're selling. For
example, "If you would like to learn more detailed
information about publishing an e-zine, I highly
recommend visiting http://www.(your web or affiliate
site).com".
83 Encourage your customers or visitors to e-mail
you questions about your product or web site. Just
include your sig file with your reply. For example,
here is a sig file
84 Give out free web space on your server. Many
of your visitors may want to publish their own web
site. Just require that they publish your banner ad.
For example, if you gave away 100 free web pages
and got only 1 hit a week off each one, that would
be an extra 5200 visitors a year!
85 Design web sites for other businesses for free.
Just require them to publish your banner or text ad
somewhere on their home page. For example, you
could create web page templates and graphics for
them. Other people will see your work and want
to visit your main web site for more information.
86 Make your potential customers forget about the
competition. Just tell them to forget with a factual
and believable reason why they should. For example,
you could say, "You should just forget about doing
business with our competition, they don't offer free
shipping like we do."
87 Set up a joint venture with your competition
if you can't beat them. You could agree to work
together to beat the other competition then share
the profits. For example, you could create a
product together that you both could promote or
you both could share advertising costs to promote
your businesses together.
88 Visit chat rooms where your potential customers
would gather. You can lurk and do market research
or mention your product to people. For example, you
may read many of the same posts about wanting to
learn more about e-book marketing. So, right there
would be a good product idea.
89 Make your web site “sticky” by building a large
directory of web sites your visitors would enjoy.
It saves them precious time searching for them.
For example, if your target audience is interested
in online greeting cards, create a web site directory
full of links to similar sites.
90 Start a free-to-join business association from
your web site. Just ask all members to place your
association logo and link on their web site. For
example, if you had 1000 members, that would be
1000 people indirectly promoting your web site
without paying them affiliate commissions
