5 Lesser-Known Online Business Ideas
by: Dirk Wagner
1. Ask people to find a hidden link in
your ad copy. If they find the hidden link tell them they will get a
prize or freebie by clicking on it. This will increase the chance that
they will buy your product or service because they will read your whole
ad copy.

2. Start a members only web site. Tell
visitors what's in your members only site and what it costs to get
access. Offer them a free membership, if, in exchange they link to your
web site, post your banner on their home page or agree to advertise your
web site in their e-zine for a set period of time. Usually they will
agree to the free advertising to save money. This is a powerful way to
get free advertising.
3. Want a popular discussion board?
This technique is based on the number of postings made by any one
person. You could give away a free product or service to any person that
posts ten or more messages on your discussion in a month. It could be a
free e-book, report, e-mail consulting etc. Just keep track of
everyone's postings each month. This could also work for e-mail
discussion lists.
4. Give your visitors an instant
article directory. Tell your visitors they can instantly add a free
article directory to their web site by linking to yours. Just place your
ad or banner ad on top of the article directory for your main product or
service. All those links can add up to a large amount of traffic for
your web site.

5. There a millions of web sites on the
internet. Instead of marketing your web site as a web site. Market it as
a free web book. Design your web site with a title page, table of
contents, chapters, etc. Just place your ad or banner for your product
or service on the top of each web page.
