Digg it UP - 21 Simple Ways To Make More Money From Your Current Clients, Part 3
Off shoring, outsourcing, all are terms that are becoming very common in the market place. They are generally also associated with job loss as companies take advantage of more experienced but low cost resources in countries like India, Philippines, Eastern Europe, etc. Large companies have been taking advantage of outsourcing and off shoring for years. Small and mid-sized companies have not yet taken advantage of this phenomenon and perhaps that that is the next big wave to come - once people discover an easy way to do so.Let us look at what outsourcing and off shoring
20. Explain to people that for extra money, they can extend the guarantee or warranty of the product.
This is self explanatory for anyone who has ever been to Sears, Best Buy or Circuit City! Every single purchase you make from those stores comes with an offer of an extended warranty. It is the easiest way to increase your profits by 10% that I know of!
21. Give rewards instead of money for ezine referrals.
There are scripts that you can install that will do this for people who send you referrals for your ezine or site. It tracks the clicks and the subsequent hits by the same person to the thank you page.
Obviously they signed up if they go from the sales page to the thank you pag
Traditionally, business ethics was considered to be a very controversial notion because even nowadays some people believe that it is a cornerstone of any future more or less prospective company’s strategy while others perceive it like an oxymoron. Personally, I think that business ethics have to be developed yet and, unfortunately, it is mainly the question philosophers or social critics are worried about but not those who are in the center of its attention, namely businessmen, managers, employees, etc. As far as I understand, the relations between all participants of a busin
Part Three:
15. Follow-up with your customers to see if they're happy and offer them another product.
Use your autoresponder script or subscription to send a follow up message 2-3 days after they have purchased and make sure they are happy with the product.
Some examples of this type of account or script are: Getresponse or AWeber, for examples of an autoresponder company.
Or a self-installed script like a custom version of QuickPayPro, which has the sequential autoresponders plus the shopping cart etc., or a simpler script like Autoresponders Unlimited if all you need is the autoresponder part and not the full shopping cart.
Another thing to add in the message to make sure they are using the product (Especially an ebook) is to ask how they liked a specific chapter's information. With software, it could be a specific feature or action the software performs.
For example, with an ebook you could say, "So how are you enjoying that tip in chapter 4? Did you save as much money as I did when I used this method?"
They will have to go to the ebook and see - especially if you can add something like the part where I said "did you SAVE as much money as I did?"!
How will they know:
a.) What you did
b.) How much you saved
c.) What the method was
Unless they read the book?
16. Offer people a free sample of your product and tell them they will get a discount if they order now.
For an ebook it could be the first couple of chapters or chapters that don't give away all your "secrets". For software it could be a 30 trial or a version of the software that doesn't have all of the features enabled.
17. Send your customers a "thank you" e-mail with a back end offer attached.
Send this one immediately or 1 day after purchase. Remember the follow up email asking how they like the product/ebook/software/video, etc. will be going out on day 3 or 4.
The offer should optimally be related to an enhancement of the product they just purchased. But not the "new and improved" version of the same product!
More like selling tea pot covers to tea pot buyers, bookmarks to book buyers and video viewing software to video buyers... get it?
18. Offer your customers add-on products like gift wrapping, batteries, imprinting, etc.
Think about complimentary items that enhance your items such as:
* Presentation or looks
* Ease of Use
* Beauty
* Features
* Speed
* Bells and Whistles
* Longevity
* Widen Appeal to larger group of people
* Emotional Attachment (Personalization)
And so on.
19. Allow your customers the option of signing up to your "future product offers list".
I know some online business persons who have a "Early Bird" notice list. Subscribers get notified early of these special members' only deals!
They are basically asking you to tell them when they can buy the next product (or affiliate product / recommendation) from you! Who would want to turn that down?

I was informed yesterday that one of the major shopping outlets this year would stop greeting customers as they walk into their store with the politically correct phrase, "Happy Holidays." Instead, they have instructed their employees to use the politically incorrect phrase of, "Merry Christmas."It seems that every business in the USA has changed their language around this time of the year to be inoffensive to the public by referring to the season as the holidays. We have Holiday parties instead of Christmas parties, we send out Holiday greeting cards instead of Chri

Purveyors of conventional wisdom would have you believe that the very first thing you ought to do when setting up a new business is to create a business plan.It doesn't matter whether you are selling odds and ends on eBay from your living room or something larger and more complex,Business plans are excellent and necessary. Far too few of us self-employed and freelance people use them.They force us to spell out our objectives. We have to assign numbers to our expectations and assign a time-line to our goals. They become our roadmap keeping us on track.

To succeed with your online business you need to understand why customers buy from you. Customers buy online for very specific reasons. Once you have a clear grasp of these reasons you can use them to further grow your online business.Many online entrepreneurs assume that people shop online for the same reasons they shop offline. But this can’t be true for the following reason. People understand that there is more risk while shopping online than there is shopping offline, so if they do decide to purchase online it must be for a compelling reason.As an online bus

Why are there free podcastsPodcasting, unlike other media forms, almost never has charges for services, and the vast majority of feed producers distribute free podcasts. This puts at odds with, say, online radio stations, news sites that offer media to subscribers, or the online music industry general. Even though podcasting has very direct correlations with industries like news and music that have strong business models, podcasting differs. Podcasting does not really have a business model, and hardly anyone is podcasting in order to profit from it.There are

Then it would record the referrer and every month (or quarter, etc.) you can give rewards, bonuses, or commissions to the top 5 or 10 referrers. Don't run it like an affiliate program where everyone gets the reward, you should already have an affiliate program in place. No, run this like a contest to build up the competitiveness of it!
