• Your easiest sales are to people who’ve spent money with you before
  • and they will generally buy larger products or services.

After someone finds they can trust you and have had a previous good experience with you, it doesn’t take much to have them come back.

So for that reason, getting new people to pay you anything at all is really valuable !

In a nutshell, we offered something cool for free as long as they paid $1 to cover the postage. In only a few hours, this got us the email addresses of 34 people who have no problem paying us some money – they are buyers. So now we can offer them more things to buy.

Here’s the page with the offer …

  • Ordered a bulk lot of cool but cheap camping tools.
  • Set up a page offering them for free – just pay the cost of postage.
  • Mentioned the free tool on about 10 Facebook group pages.

As a note, the Google Analytics Real-Time view ( the picture at the top of this post ) is an amazing tool to help you tweak a campaign while it’s running. It shows you which pages people are looking at, as they do it.

And if you combine it with session recording where you can play-back and see what your visitors look at and click on, you can update things and do better next time.
