1. Offer free original content. It's important to give



your visitors information they can't find anywhere

else. If you're the only source, they'll visit your site.

2. Give people free software. Most people like to

find good deals on software for their computers. If

the software is free, that is even better.

3. Hold free contests or sweepstakes. Most people

like to win things. If you can fulfill that need, people

will stop by to visit.

4. Provide a free web directory. Create a directory

of web sites on a popular topic that will attract your

target audience.

5. Offer a free e-zine. Most people love to get free

information that's e-mailed to them regularly. This

saves them time and money.

6. Make your web site look professional. You want

to have your own domain name, easy navigation,

attractive graphics, etc.

7. Let people read your ad before they get to your

freebie. When you use free stuff to lure people to

your web site list it below your ad copy.

8. Attract the target audience that would buy your

product or service. A simple way to do this is to

survey your existing customers.

9. Test and improve your ad copy. There are many

people who write an ad and never change it. Make

sure you get the highest possible response rate.

10. Give people an urgency so they buy now. Many

people are interested in your product but they put

off buying it until later and eventually forget about it.
