Attracting new customers is always an important skill for today's business person. Below I outline 5 good ways to get new customers.

1. Give Away An Electronic Information Product The product could be a simple report posted on your Website or auto responder to a down loadable e-book. The information product should relate to your target audience. Just place your advertisement somewhere on the product. Allow other people to give away the information product to attract even more customers.

2. Offer Free Consulting Via E-mail Allow potential customers to ask you specific questions relating to the subject of your business. Giving away free advice can show your prospects your expertise and give you instant credibility. Another benefit is when you e-mail them back the free advice or information include your signature file to get free advertising.

3. Hold A Free Chat Room Seminar People go to seminars to learn about a particular subject.With chat rooms you don't need to fear public speaking or spend money to rent out a seminar room. You can use your own chat room or hold the seminar in someone Else's.Holding a chat room seminar is an incredible way to get free publicity. Just send a press release to the media announcing your free seminar.

4. Start A Free-To-Join Club Having people join your club is a creative way to attract new customers. People want to belong to something, why not your online club. The club should be related to your product or service. You could give away a free e-mail newsletter for club members only. Have a members only message board, e-mail discussion group or chat room. Post your advertisements on all the club information.

5. Provide Your Product Or Service For Almost Free Tell potential customers you'll accept barter deals for your products or services. You may not be getting money but they will become your customers. If they are satisfied they might pay money the next time they make a purchase. Barter for things to improve your business or your own personal life.

More Links Work!

Every internet marketer need to increase links to their web sites so that they can build their business. There are a number of ways to do this. I do feel the most effective way to get people to link to your web site is by offering web masters the option of giving away your free stuff. In exchange, they link to your website. Why would other web masters want to do this? They may want give away a freebie to draw traffic to their website. They also may not have the time, knowledge or skills to give away certain types of electronic freebies from their web site.

Your links will just keep multiplying. When a web master offers your freebie to his or her visitors. Those visitors may decide to also give away your freebie. And so on and soon... The more people that link to your web site the more traffic you'll get. Below are four of the most popular types of freebies given away on the internet to increase traffic. Free Software Offer free software from your web site. The software could be freeware, shareware or demos. Free Online Services Offer a free online service from your web site. The online service could be an e-mail account, search engine submission or e-mail consulting, etc.

Free Information Offer valuable free information from your web site. The information could be a report, article, e-book, online audio recording or e-mail course, etc. Free Affiliate Program Offer a free affiliate program from your web site. The affiliate program could be pay per sale, click through,two tiered, etc. Now, I know, there are many other ways to get links like trading or exchanging links with other web sites or joining a banner exchange. You can also do joint ventures or cross promoting. I feel these are not as effective as multiplying your links. I hope this article can help you increase traffic to your web site.

SMILE!

Smiling is infectious; you can catch it like the flu

When someone smiled at me today, I started smiling too

I passed around a corner and someone saw my grin

When he smiled I realised Iʼd passed it on to him

I though about that smile then realised itʼs worth

A single smile, just like mine could travel round the earth

So when you feel a smile begin donʼt leave it undetected

Letʼs start an epidemic quick and get the world infected!

Don’t Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile but you have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don’t quit

Life is queer with its twists and turns
As everyone of us at sometimes learns
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won if he’d stuck it out
Don’t give up through the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow

Often the goal is nearer than it seems
To a faint and faltering man
Often the struggle has given up
When he might have captured the victor’s cup
When he learned too late when the night came
How close he was to the golden crown

Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems afar
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit
It’s when things seem worse that you mustn’t quite

Dont Give Up

"Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do."

John Wooden

When the opportunity arises to start a work at home business there are several points to consider before beginning. These points can make a work at home business run more smoothly, save money and bring success. Planning is very important when starting a work at home business.

The first thing to consider is what kind of business to start. What kind of products or services will likely be sold? Is it a product you’re selling for someone else or is it your own invention? Is it a service you will perform yourself or are there others that will do this? Will it be an online program? Finding the right niche is very important and everything will revolve around this.

Second, where will this business be located? It is important to have a space for this purpose and only this purpose. Preferably a separate room with a door that can be closed for quiet and privacy. There needs to be enough room for a desk and any other furniture you desire. Also, if there are products that must be kept in your office, make sure you have the room to store them. If you make your own product, make sure you have a space for this purpose so everything can be organized and streamlined. The worst thing is being unorganized. It wastes time and time is money.

Third is budget. What kind of budget can you work with? With every business, whether it be online or brick and mortar, there comes cost. Cost to make the product, advertising, any kind of monthly fee for programs you are involved with, even the internet connection. Consider any kind of furniture or office supplies that are needed. A monthly budget must be laid out so over spending can be avoided. Do not take on more than can be afforded.

Fourth is advertising. Consider the type of advertising you like. Some may like running ads in newspapers and others may prefer solo ads in online ezines. Whatever you decide, make an advertising plan and stick to it. Make sure it is within the budget you set up though.

Time is the fifth point to consider. If a job is still held outside the home until the home business becomes successful, make sure there is sufficient time to work on the home business. Balancing work, home and children is hard enough. Trying to build a home business on top of all that may be challenging. Set a schedule that is realistic and follow it. Don’t forget to schedule some down time too. You’ll need to relax and spend time with family.

After considering these points you can create a plan and start building your own successful work at home business.
