What are the 3 keys to success for an information publishing business?
1 You need to drive traffic to your website
2 You need to capture visitor information (lead capture)
3 You follow up with email marketing and make sales.


Let us look at the 3 aspects of this business model in detail....

The first key step is to drive traffic to your website.

There are a whole range of ways to drive traffic to your website: by blogging, search engine optimisation, co-registration leads, joint venture deals, Pay-per-click Advertising, advertising on the content networks, social marketing and video, newsletter advertising and article marketing. Most of these methods are free, but some you have to pay for.

Next you need to build a relationship with the people who visit your website.

The aim is to get visitors to your site in sufficient numbers to convert them to either buying something immediately, or getting them to sign up to your mailing list, by offering them something relevant and with perceived value - for free.The key to success here is to understand copywriting and produce copy that develops a good rapport and relationship with your visitors, so they trust you and want a relationship with you.


The third step is where you convert them form visitors to customers who will buy from you over and over again. As the relationship develops they will buy from you. If you get the copywriting and relationship-building process right, they will buy from you over and over again.

The basis of this is regular email communication, with information and offers that appeal to them. Your in-house lists of customers are more responsive to your sales promotion, because you have built a relationship with them.

What is the secret to building a relationship with your house list?

Send them information they value. You need to really understand their problems and the things that frustrate them - and you provide solutions.

If you offer useful advice and promote your products to your house list and your list is responsive, (because your writing and targeting is right), your sales and net profits will grow. Rinse and repeat:you can repeat this formula by expanding your own product list, recommending other people's products as an affiliate and going into new niches.
