”How can I get more hits?”, “I need leads!” These thoughts run
through web designers heads all the time. How can a web designer get
their services in front of people who are actually looking for web
design services? The answer is the web design directory.
What is a Web Design Directory?
These directories are specifically designed to bring together web
designers and showcase their work on one site. The people who visit
these sites are actively looking for web design services, thus they
are all potential clients. Some of the directories categorize sites
by either state, county and/or web specialization. This is a grand
advantage because it allows you to hit your target market more
efficiently than if you were to submit your site to just a general
business directory. What’s even better is that all of the sites I
have listed in this article are absolutely free to post your link.
An auto responder course is a group of
articles or information set up to be sent out separately over a set
period of time by e-mail. People just e-mail your auto responder to
receive the free course and it is sent out automatically over time.
You can find free follow-up auto responders to use by typing it into
any search engine. Below are ten ways to use them to increase your
traffic and sales.
1. Offer your course as a free bonus
for purchasing one of your main products or services. People will
buy your products quicker when you offer a bonus.

course you will become known as an expert. This'll gain people's
trust and they will buy your main product quicker.
