1. Information:
The number one seller on the Internet is information.
- Have lots of relevant, free information on your site for your visitors to read, and keep adding more and they’ll keep coming back to read it.
2. Top Ten Lists:
Always popular are Top Ten Lists … or Top Seven Lists, or whatever number you can come up with.
- A really good Top List can later be expanded and turned into an e-book.
3. News Articles:
People always like to know what’s the latest and greatest. - Keep them up to date with your company’s activities with a news page or article.
- You can also keep them up to date with other happenings in your industry.
4. Interviews:
- A great way to tell your customers how useful your product or service is, is to have interviews with clients, or experts.
- If there is an article in your local paper at any time about you or your business, it can (with permission) be reproduced on your site.
- Or do an interview yourself, with groups or individuals of interest to your target audience and publish it on your website.
5. Publications:
