People have been burned too many times on offers that promise the moon, but deliver nothing. Red flags include the words...."amazing" , "shocking", "life changing", opportunity of a lifetime",ect. You will lose people almost immeadiately if you inflate what you are offering.
• Free Giveaways will always get attention, action and response You can build your mailing list quickly in a very short time, which will imporove your profit line. You don't even have to create the giveaway yourself, although doing a 10 page ebook sets you up as an authority in your field. You can use a private label rights (PLR book just as easily)
• Run a contest.Make the prize something desirable and related to your business -- it could be a free gift basket of your products, for instance, or free services.
• Learn to ask for referrals. Ask existing customers, prospects and casual acquaintances. When you get them, follow up on the leads.
• Put videos of your product or service on YouTube and other video-sharing and slide-sharing sites.
