"The All-Time Champion Business Building Tool"

A Simple Web Promotion Bonanza

Have you become so conditioned to using email for communicating online that you don't think twice about its' effectiveness?

I've got a little secret for you. It's slowing down your progress.

Do you know what's the most overlooked and underused web promotion tool on the web? (Hint: it's the all-time champion business building tool).

"Ring" a bell yet?

Well, just to remind you, it's the old-fashioned telephone!

If you want to make impressive web promotion progress quickly and effectively ... if you want to build your traffic and sales as fast as possible ... if you want to create valuable long-term relationships ... then pick up the telephone. You'll find you often get incredible results in minutes ... not days, weeks or months.

I phoned a well-known marketer a recently about possibly endorsing his product as an affiliate. Thirty minutes later, I had two new linkbacks, some insightful affiliate tips for this new niche product, an offer to write paid-for content for a new site, a Joint Venture project ... and a new friend.

All from a single phone call. Just try getting this done with back-and-forth emails. It won't happen, or at best, will take literally weeks, or longer.

The vast majority of small online business owners seem to think that there is some kind of internet protocol dictating that email is THE communication vehicle for the web. This thinking is most definitely hazardous to your wealth.

People with offline businesses think nothing of calling another company to probe mutually beneficial opportunities. It's an all-day, everyday occurrence. The same should be done to effectively build your online business.

Do you want a particular site to link to you? Do you have a dynamite Joint Venture idea? Could your business benefit from relationships with other webmasters, both large and small?

Well, when you pick up the telephone, believe me, you will be making an impression that puts you head and shoulders above the crowd from the get go. You'll almost always be given an ear because you will be seen as someone who is serious, professional, motivated and successful.

Here's a few examples of reasons to call a web site owner. You'll often find, however, that the conversation will broaden into additional areas of mutual interest.

***** Call to ask for a link back to your site.

***** Call to let them know you're publishing their article in your newsletter.

***** Call because you're so impressed with their product or service that you're thinking about endorsing it as an Affiliate.

***** Call because you've got a great idea for an exclusive, search-engine-friendly article for their site and you want to know what keywords they would like stressed.

***** Call because you are just about to purchase their product or service and you'd like more insight into how to best use it in your particular business.

***** Call because you want to feature them on your blog or website and you want their input.

Get the idea? Put on your creative thinking cap and identify win/win scenerios for the two of you. Then, pick up that telephone to quickly get web promotion results that both impact your business immediately and build crucially important long-term relationships.
