If you have a website and aren’t making the collecting of visitor emails your primary or secondary goal, you may be making a grave mistake! People who visit your site are unlikely to come back unless you contact them again and remind them who you are and how you can add value to them. Here are some great tips on how to get those website visitor’s email addresses.

14 Ways To Persuade Your Web Site Visitors To
Give You Their Email Address

1. Ask visitors to subscribe to your e-zine. It’s a good idea
to also give them a freebie when they subscribe.

2. Have them sign-up to get access to download a free ebook.
The subject of the ebook should be related to your target
audience.

3. Give your visitors a free membership inside your member’s
only web site. Have them sign-up to receive a user name and
password.

4. Hold a free contest or sweepstakes at your web site. Ask
them to give you their contact information to enter.

5. Offer your visitors free consulting via e-mail. Have them
fill out a web form to e-mail you with their questions.

6. Hold an interactive poll on your web site. Ask your visitors
to e-mail you their vote or opinion.

7. Ask your visitors to sign-up for a chance to get a web site
award. Have them e-mail you their contact and web site
information.

8. Have visitors fill out a survey on your web site. Give them
a free gift as an incentive to complete the form.

9. Offer a free online service from your web site. Have
visitors fill out their contact information to sign-up to the
free service.

10. Ask visitors to sign your guest book. Tell them they will
get a free gift in return.

11. Offer a free affiliate program for your visitors. They will
have to sign-up in order to receive marketing materials and
commissions.

12. Allow visitors to submit a free classified ad on your web
site. Require them to give a valid e-mail address in order to
post an ad.

13. Give people who visit your web site a free course sent via
autoresponder. Just ask them to fill out their contact
information to receive the free course.

14. Offer your visitors free software to download. Have them
sign-up to get an access code to unlock the software.

If you aren’t doing article marketing, you should be. It’s a great way to get more incoming links (and therefore more traffic and better search engine rankings), as well as establish yourself as an authority (and don’t let “I’m-not-an-expert-itis” stop you!) in your field and make sales.

Here are some Article marketing tips to get you started.

And if you’re doing article marketing with great success, please leave a comment and tell me about it!

A lot of the people who visit my site and fill out the survey want to know more about web design. Are you one of them? I have a little secret for you: You don’t need to know web design to have a great looking site that (more importantly) sells well!

There are some great website builders out there that make a knowledge of html completely unnecessary. My favorite is this one: Fast Easy Website Builder.

You can use it to create a great looking site in literally minutes, with no html knowledge necessary. It uses templates so even choosing good looking colors, headings, fonts and themes is a one-click process. (And if you’re really picky, you can tweak it if you want to.)

So don’t let your lack of html proficiency stop you from getting started with your online business. You need your own website if you are going to build a direct sales business online, or if you are an author, entrepreneur, inventor, etc. Get your web presence established now!
