Giving away free honest and legitimate information may sound
contradictory, but it is one of the best ways to increase your
product sales. People want legitimate information and they are willing to pay for it.
People will use search engines to find information on topics that
interest them. Search results will produce thousands, even millions of
websites, and the person has the option of scanning all of those
sites in order to find the honest and legitimate information they
are looking for.
However, not many people have the time nor the patience to do that.
In fact,most people do not even take the time to read the entire website
they are visiting, so they simply scan through the pages.
Many people are naturally going to be skeptical and it is healthy to
be skeptical and Christian businesses should encourage skepticism.
If they come across your site, they may be interested in the product
you are offering, but they most likely will wonder if the information is
legitimate and worth the money.
Offering them a bit of free information up front can help ease
their fears. They will get a better understanding of the information
you are offering and decide if they want to buy it from you.
Someone who likes your free information will likely see you as an expert
and they will begin to trust you; most likely becoming your customer.
Say that you created a course that contains both printed and audio
materials about How To Start Christian Businesses From Home. You could
take a sampling of the information and create a mini e-course referencing
back to your main course. You could use an auto-responder service to email
a section of your e-course each day to everyone who subscribes to it.
The point is to just give them enough information to wet their appetite;
and you don't have to answer all their question, but do not deceive them
either. If you leave them wanting more, they most likely will come back.
This also generates a great mailing list of people who are interested in
your products. You need to stay in touch with your mailing list and
continue marketing your product to them.
Don't worry about giving away too much information. It does not matter
what subject your information product is about; there are many
related subjects that you can promote along with it.
Even if the person feels their questions on Starting Christian Businesses
From Home were answered, they may very well be curious about the related
products and make additional purchases.
