Website promotion can be tricky these days, as everyone is trying to compete for traffic, leads, and overall interest in their products or services. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) can be a lot of hard work, especially for those competing for the top spot with highly popular niches. Thankfully, websites like Wagg.it exist for the purpose of helping others promote their websites and blogs.

Wagg.it is a social networking site that offers article and blog submissions, voting, SEO and marketing advice, commenting, chatting, and group networking. The groups section of Wagg.it is new, and provides opportunities to network with other bloggers and webmasters. Wagg.it’s group section allows everyone to exchange ideas, tips, and advice. There are many groups to join, including a special Digg group in which the members will be allowed to buy, sell, and exchange Diggs as well as other votes.

Other social sites, such as Propeller, are also represented with Wagg.it’s groups. Members can learn a lot about web promotion through social bookmarking in addition to making friends with other bloggers and webmasters.

Another new feature with Wagg.it’s groups allows members to upload their own videos and pictures. This is a great opportunity for those who are trying to increase their Youtube hits. They can embed the code at Wagg.it’s groups section for other members to see. This will be a great way to not only receive more views, but to generate more interest in the website it promotes as well.

Members of Wagg.it’s groups can create their very own page by uploading videos, pictures, information about their services and website, and more. All members will have an RSS feed and a comment section on their page. Just like all other social networking sites, there is a private messaging system for those who wish to speak privately.

I would like to cover a number of strategies that would help every small business owner to make more money during this hot shopping season.

• “The money back guarantee” is the most powerful marketing decision that helps reducing requests for refunds and increase your sales, especially if you sell ebooks

• Set up an affiliate program or referral program and let your existing customers to bring you more sales! here is an example:

• conduct surveys to find qualified leads. If you are in lead generation business, surveys, in fact, the most powerful tool for you. You can offer a reward for those who fill out and return your survey, but usually people like to give their opinions about things. Lucky us, these days there is no need to send out “a well crafted” letter and survey, on most forums you add the “poll” option to your thread and you are done!

• Offer a free report. First of all, there is a magic word here - “free”:). The main goal is to capture email addresses of people who are interested in something like your product/services. We all know, that you can’t sell without the right list. Don’t rent your list to others as it is your most valuable asset.

• Start a “dialogue” with your customers by sending direct mail, and take every step to make it look and feel personal. Here is a little secret: the longer you hold your reader’s attention, the more sales you will generate. Present arguments, give them interesting facts and reasons so that they got emotional. You can’t sell by boring your reader.

• I want you to add your best way to increase sales, leave it in the commenting are and I’ll follow! It’s that simple: you comment, I follow::))
