10 Ways to Get Customers Referring Your Business

Author: Fiona Adler

Most businesses know that the best way to get new customers is through word-of-mouth recommendations. Almost all of us base a lot of decisions on recommendations because we tend to believe someone who is not trying to sell to us. (Think about the last few purchasing decisions you made – whether it’s choosing a restaurant, a tradesperson, or a hairdresser, most of us rely on word-of-mouth to some extent.)

But the tricky part about word-of-mouth, is that it’s largely out of your hands. However, there are several things you can do to encourage your customers to recommend you to others.

  1. Make sure customers are happy with your service
    This is literally as simple as asking them what they thought of your service. For some businesses it might mean making it policy to ask how the customer’s meal was, or calling a few days after a service has been completed to make sure everything is ok. If there was any problem, this gives you the opportunity to find out about it.

  2. Ask them to rate you on the web
    For some businesses this sounds scary but if your customers are happy with you, all you need to do is ask if they’d mind posting a rating on the web for your business. Most people love to feel needed and if they’re happy with your service and you’ve developed some level of rapport with them, they’ll be more than happy to help you out. Misty’s Diner has been doing this for several months and at the time of writing has 120 customer ratings in WOMOW.

    Obviously we suggest you use WOMOW.com.au but the key is to have your customer ratings in a public forum run by an objective third party. That’s what makes them believable!

  3. Ask for personal referrals
    At first glance this can look desperate, but all it means is letting your customers know that your business is built on word-of-mouth and if they know anyone that would be interested in your product/service, to point them in your direction. Later, when they’re having dinner with friends, hopefully they’ll remember this simple prompt and it’s amazing how often a referral will come about.

  4. Let them know some inside secrets
    Give customers something interesting to say to other people. It doesn’t have to be particularly ground-breaking stuff either. It could be something about yourself and why you got into this business, the types of clients you deal with, something about a major project you’re working on, really anything that gives them the opportunity to tell someone else something they don’t already know.

    Imagine the difference between saying:-
    "I know a great plumber who might be able to help you out with that"
    and:-
    "I know a great plumber who specialises in grey water solutions. He was just telling me about a job he just finished where…"

  5. Keep in contact
    Your customers could be in a position to give you a recommendation at any time, but if they haven't heard from you in years its not likely they'll remember you. The key is to stay in touch through personal phone calls, mailouts, newsletters, emails, lunches, whatever it takes to make sure that when the opportunity arises and a friend asks "do you know a good accountant around here?", your name will be the first they mention.

    One way to achieve this and combine with point 2 above is to email your clients saying that you'd like their feedback. Let them know that you're using a website to collect feedback and would really appreciate it if they could rate you (if you want to use WOMOW just include a link to your WOMOW page).

  6. Dare to be different
    Another way to ensure your customers remember you is to be different in some way. There's any number of ways you could do this but some businesses I’ve come across that do this use things like bright uniforms, posting a quote of the day, asking customers to pay what they think is a fair price instead of using a price list, use dramatic packaging, provide a mobile service (instead of in an office), or serve each customer a fresh muffin on arrival. Really this is marketing 101 in terms of setting yourself apart from your competitors, but think of it not just as a way of being better, but as a way of being remembered and talked about.

  7. Let everyone know about your ratings
    When people are checking out your website or in the midst of the sales process, let them know what your other customers say about you by showing them customer ratings or testimonials. These could be printed out in your office, a link to you WOMOW listing from your website, or included in your written quotes (eg "See what customers are saying about us here www.womow.com.au/biz/xxxx")

  8. Thank people for their recommendations
    When you do get a recommendation, make sure you thank the person and let them know how much it means to you. This could mean phoning the customer that just sent their colleague to visit you, sending a box of chocolates or bottle of wine. When you get ratings on WOMOW, you can post a comment on their rating thanking them for their rating and for using your service – they’ll be more inclined to give you more recommendations, plus for everyone else reading, it looks like you really care. And unless the rating is anonymous, you can send them a private email too with a personalised thank-you.

  9. Above all, provide great service
    This underpins everything else, but I can’t let it go unmentioned. Sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in the mechanics of the business and forget about the customer experience. Be a customer for a day and put yourself in their shoes. What’s it like to phone your company, walk into the waiting room, email you, visit your website for the first time? Is there anything you could be doing better? Are there any basics that you’re missing? Once you get a few ratings, you’ll soon know what aspects of your business customers value the most.

  10. Go one step extra
    If it's at all possible, make it a policy to do something extra that customers wouldn’t expect. Call the next day to see how everything is working out, remember their order from their last visit (or set up a system that does), give them a coffee / wine / mineral water / chocolate on arrival, set up a TV with relevant DVD's in your waiting room, offer a free fitting service, write to them and offer a free maintenance check, give them a free air-fragrance with your service, or allow them to keep something else associated with your business.

    I know of one car dealership that provides a lifetime of free carwashing to anyone that buys a car from them. Not only does this provide a great talking point, it ensures the customer remembers them next time they’re looking to buy a new car.

    If there's something you can do to really wow your customers, they'll be so grateful, they'll look for opportunities to even the score. As they say, the difference between extraordinary and ordinary is the "extra"!

Once you start regularly implementing just some of these ideas, the referrals will start flooding in. It's a great way to do business!

Biosignia Honored in Business Leader Media’s Healthiest Company Competition

Author: Alison Beckwith

Research Triangle Park, N.C. - BioSignia, a predictive modeling company delivering innovative healthcare solutions, was honored in the 2008 Healthiest Company Competition, sponsored by Rex Healthcare and Business Leader Media. BioSignia’s recognition is due in part to its work in developing Know Your Number®, the first disease-specific risk assessment tool to predict an individual’s risk of developing chronic preventable diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. This revolutionary testing tool isn’t just benefitting BioSignia’s clients, but keeping its employees healthy too.

“We are honored to be recognized as one of the top companies in the area for our healthy-minded practices,” says Tim Smith, president and COO of BioSignia. “Through our work with Know Your Number, our employees live and breathe the message our disease-specific risk assessment tool sends and you can see it when you walk through our offices.”

In 30 minutes or less, the Know Your Number assessment takes an individual’s information such as their weight, blood pressure, family history, lifestyle habits and key blood values. Then, it uses a proprietary technology called Synthesis Analysis™ to produce a detailed report on your risks of developing specific chronic preventable diseases. It’s unlike any other health risk assesment tool because it uses a multi-dimensional approach by isolating individual and aggregate data on a multitude of risk factors.

Smith says each BioSignia employee has taken the Know Your Number test to learn how to reduce their risks of developing chronic preventable diseases -- for some employees it’s been a life-changing experience. BioSignia was one of 24 Triangle companies recently recognized in the Healthiest Company Competition.

“Companies can really help motivate their employees to target their specific disease risks and adopt healthier habits,” adds Smith. “And that’s top on our list at BioSignia.”

Air Purifiers & What You Should Know

If you have ever thought about buying an air purifier, the whole process may have seemed a bit daunting. There are several things that make the air purifier purchasing process more difficult than it has to be, but if you break it down to the essential things that you should know about air purifiers, then the process may become a little easier. Whether you have someone physically show you how an air purifier works or you glean as much information you can from advertisements on the television and elsewhere, you should definitely be able to know that air purifiers take out the
small contaminants from the air to make it healthier and cleaner for you to breathe. You could purchase one for any room in your house or even purchase one for your business.



One of the first things that you should pay attention to when considering purchasing an air purifier is the costs and the many options you can choose from. Since buying an air purifier isn't just like picking out a toothbrush, you want to be certain that you are buying the right one that will suit you and your needs. There are several things, therefore, that you can do to get a feel of the air purifier industry. The first involves using your web searching ability. All sorts of the brands of air purifiers can be found online and you could probably even reach one of the maker's webpages from the internet! Of course this isn't the only option that's available to you. You could consider going to an air purifier presentation or simply browsing around one of your local stores that carry air purifiers. If you go to an air purifier presentation, however, be careful! Salesman in this industry are just what they are: salesman. If they can get you to buy their specific product they will without paying much attention to what you actually need in your home. So pay attention when you go to presentations and make sure you know what you are getting.



Another issue that you need to concern yourself with is the amount of maintenance that the air filter that you will buy needs. There are all sorts of makes and models of air purifiers that will need different things. For example, one air purifier product may just need to be cleaned once in a while, while another one that you are comparing may need to be completely and totally replaced after so many years. Maintenance is something you should care about when concerning an air purifier because it is something that you will actually have to take time and do.



As with all things, a little research and caution before making a large purchase are crucial to make sure that you do not get ripped off and also that you buy one that will be perfect for your home or wherever you are going to install the air purifier. After you have researched all your options you need to take into consideration the cost, benefit, as well as the maintenance of each unit. The more time you spend being cautious about this large purchase, the more you will benefit from the air purifier of your choice!

Know Your Air Purifier Inside and Out! (Air Purifiers)

Whether you are looking to purchase an air purifier for your family or for one of your extended family members, it is always important to know what you are getting. Even though you may be totally absorbed with the cost of the air purifier yourself, the cost is not the only qualifying constant of the unit that needs to be considered. For example, you could buy a high priced air purifier that looks nice and has excellent quality on the outside, but the inner products and parts of that air purifier could be junk. On the other hand, you could easily buy a low costing air purifier that won't need much work and it will run like a charm for all of it's life. But one of the things that you should be concerned with when it comes to buying an air purifier is the type of filter that it comes with. People often do not think of the filter because they assume that it's nothing that they need to be worried about.



But on the contrary, the filter is one of the crucial points of the air purifier itself and needs to be considered when thinking about buying an air purifier. There are several things that you should start off with when examining the different types of air purifiers on the market. Even though many of them use air filters that you will need to replace on a regular basis, there are some air purifiers that are actually filterless and only have a collection disk that needs to be cleaned off on a daily or weekly basis. These types of air purifiers appeal to many people because it doesn't involve going out to buy something brand new, but instead only requires a little routine maintenance now and then. If you are planning on buying an air purifier that requires a filter, then you should be familiar with the types of filters that are used in different air purifiers before you choose an air purifier altogether. This process is almost like picking out a clothes dryer and trying to decide which one has the best lint filter for your clothes. However, the air purifier process is much more difficult and also more important because you are going to be breathing the air that the purifier puts out. With all that being said, there is one type of air purifier's filter that has a strong hold on the air purifier industry. That filter is the HEPA filter and is one of the best, if not the absolute best, on the market. The reason that HEPA is considered the best is because it follows all the strict rules and requirements that the Department of Energy requires of air purifier filters to have. This is the reason that most people view it as the best to have, but there may also be other air filters that are very comparable to the HEPA filter. Even though HEPA filters are more expensive than regular ones, people will sometimes choose HEPA simply because it is the best in the industry and follows all the requirements of the Department of Energy.



However, when taking into consideration the cost of the filter you may also need to know that some of the air filters actually require replacement costs every few years. When trying to decide on an air purifier it would be best to talk with the salesperson or even the air purifier manufacturer to find out all the specifics about the air filter that they present. But the more research and care you put into finding the right air filter, the better off you and your family will be with the perfect air purifier!

Air Purifiers: Is Owning one Crucial to Your Life? (ionic breeze purifiers)

Millions of people each year in the United States and abroad consider buying an air purifier and many of them do. In addition, many people want to buy an air purifier and cannot necessarily afford one. Whatever the case and whatever your reason for buying one or not buying one, if you have ever considered making that air purifier purchase, what have your reasons been? There are many reasons, in fact, that a person may decide that he or she would like to buy an air purifier. The reason may be medical or non-medical or just simply the desire to take a breath of cleaner air.



How do air purifiers work, exactly? You may find yourself asking this question if you have ever thought about buying a large air purifying unit, and the answer is something that is beneficial to you and everyone around you. Air purifiers run with large motors and the whole goal of owning an air purifier is to clean the air that you breathe. Even though this process of cleaning the air may seem a bit unreal, just listen as to how air purifiers work! Most air purifiers usually catch the large and small pieces of dust and micro-particles that float through the air that harm your lungs or the passageways through which you breathe. The air purifiers catch the dust and particles through filters and other tools and the dust clings to them
until it is time to let them go by completely destroying the dust particles.



One reason that you may need an air purifier is if you have allergies. For example, perhaps you are allergic to the specific dust or pollen that is in or is hiding around your house. If that's the case, an air purifier may be just what you need. On the other hand, individuals may need air purifiers in order to prevent the large amounts of cat or dog hair that floats through the air because of your pets! Even though you may love those furry animals, the hair can wreak havoc and certain people's nasal passageways as well as sinuses and, if this is your reason, it is a very good one indeed! Air purifiers will work to clean and refine the air that you come in contact with and get rid of the dog and cat hair and dust that flies around your
house.



Another reason you may want an air purifier is because of your children. Everyone knows that children get illnesses quicker and even faster than most adults. However, if the children are used to clean air and if that is all they ever breathe, in their own home at least, illnesses will not be as prevalent as they used to be. Still another reason that you may want to consider buying an air purifier is if you own a large business or firm with lots of employees. To make the work environment better and cleaner you may decide to install several air filters around the workplace.



Whether or not you deem owning an air purifier absolutely necessary, however, if you only think that you might be inclined to purchase one that it would be a good idea to just go out and get one. Because of the many benefits that you'll be able to see from purchasing an air purifier, it will make the environment around you a whole lot cleaner.

Air Purifiers: Is Owning one Crucial to Your Life? (ionic breeze purifiers)

Millions of people each year in the United States and abroad consider buying an air purifier and many of them do. In addition, many people want to buy an air purifier and cannot necessarily afford one. Whatever the case and whatever your reason for buying one or not buying one, if you have ever considered making that air purifier purchase, what have your reasons been? There are many reasons, in fact, that a person may decide that he or she would like to buy an air purifier. The reason may be medical or non-medical or just simply the desire to take a breath of cleaner air.



How do air purifiers work, exactly? You may find yourself asking this question if you have ever thought about buying a large air purifying unit, and the answer is something that is beneficial to you and everyone around you. Air purifiers run with large motors and the whole goal of owning an air purifier is to clean the air that you breathe. Even though this process of cleaning the air may seem a bit unreal, just listen as to how air purifiers work! Most air purifiers usually catch the large and small pieces of dust and micro-particles that float through the air that harm your lungs or the passageways through which you breathe. The air purifiers catch the dust and particles through filters and other tools and the dust clings to them
until it is time to let them go by completely destroying the dust particles.



One reason that you may need an air purifier is if you have allergies. For example, perhaps you are allergic to the specific dust or pollen that is in or is hiding around your house. If that's the case, an air purifier may be just what you need. On the other hand, individuals may need air purifiers in order to prevent the large amounts of cat or dog hair that floats through the air because of your pets! Even though you may love those furry animals, the hair can wreak havoc and certain people's nasal passageways as well as sinuses and, if this is your reason, it is a very good one indeed!

HTML Help - Font Colour

HTML is not really as hard as it sounds and is the perfect solution to a boring page. Unfortunately, powerpets has limited the use of HTML codes, but here are a few that are allowed.


Font Colour

The basic code for font colour is:

<font colour="colour">The text you want coloured.</font>

You can use most colour names (such as blue, pink, yellow, red, green, etc.) or if you want something more specific, you can use hex codes. Hex codes are useful because computers arent smart enough to recognize lavender as a colour, as nice as it may be.



Here is a great hex code chart. (click on it to enlarge). When you use a hex code, make sure you put a # infront of the number - so the HTML code for it should look like this:


<font colour=#hexcode>The text you want coloured.</font>

More Ways to Earn Pbs

Yes, I know what you're thinking. I have already posted a top ten list for earning Pbs - but ten is not enough for me. There are so many ways out there to make Pbs, you just have to be creative.
First of all, here are some Pb-making don'ts:
  • DONT make a scam website that asks for passwords (or anything as straightforward as that - yes that means emails as well or whatever other ideas you have). Everyone except the absolute newbiest of newbs knows that when someone asks for your password, its usually a scam. Besides, if the newbs are the only ones you can trick why even waste your time - theyre probably poor anyway, thats why they took a risk with your scam.
  • DONT beg for Pbs. It will only make you look like an idiot.
  • DONT waste your money on luck of the draw or any other outlandish schemes.
  • DONT run for mayor. Waste of time + Waste of Pbs = worse than buying scratch cards.


Ok, so now for what you can do to earn Pbs. (If you want the basics check out my Top Ten Powerbuck Making Schemes for some good ideas).
  • Rate Books. You can earn 50 Pbs per book - not much but it adds up.
  • Take Polls in the poll booth - 250 Pbs per poll but you can only vote once (again not much).
  • Design Postcards. If you are creative enough you can earn between 10,000 and 20,000 Pbs. Cards can only be entered once a month. For more info visit the Post Office in Xiang Chung-Shi.
  • One really important choice is between Eurobank and NBIC. Eurobank pays much higher interest but requires a minimum of 100,000 PBs to open an account and to recieve interest. NBIC has no minimum, and also has long term bonds available that have very high interest rates. To see more information on the banks, click here.

Referral Marketing - How To Generate Massive Traffic

Author: Allen Jesson

Referral marketing originated when the Internet first entered the commercial marketplace. By creating a network of similar sites that defer traffic and potential customers upon one another, revenue and customer interest rose for participating sites.

Since then, the process of referral marketing has become a mainstay of web site design. Revenue generated through referral efforts has risen to become a multi-million dollar industry that has penetrated every nation in the world.

To institute a referral marketing campaign on your site, you must first institute a program for providing the materials other designers require in order to initiate a referral exchange. Typically, this constitutes HTML code to insert into a site that creates either a link or banner image that is optionally hosted on your server.

If you choose to provide a banner image, you must consider the pixel size and content of the images to allow for widespread adoption of your referral process.

If you can afford to invest in incentives to provide to potential participants in your referral network, proceed to do so through automated software hosted through the web.

You can choose to reward your referrers through the number of click-throughs they generate or by the number of sales generated through visitors who registered as a result of using your link.

The more attractive the incentive you provide, the more likely it is your fellow web masters will adopt your referral campaign.

You can also benefit from mutual referral exchanges. Providing a site banner for a companion site that sells similar products or services is beneficial so long as they act in kind.

Once mutual referrals begin to flow, you might consider pursuing other opportunities for combination sales and marketing arrangements.

Referral marketing can help to increase web site traffic and sales without causing a major impact on your bottom line. Through the use of a few well placed web site links and banners, customers can spread brand awareness and become incentivized to purchase your products and services.

Actively recruiting other web masters to participate in your referral program is often a painless exercise in good, mutual business relationship building.

Understanding the process of referral marketing is half the battle. Organizing your time and actually spending time on this aspect of internet marketing can really make a huge difference to your website traffic and the sales that follow. Referral marketing is a simple process that spreads the word about your site.

Viral Video Marketing Your Way To Success

Author: Todd Ash

The definition of a viral video is basically a video clip which gains widespread popularity through the process of Internet sharing, typically through e-mail, IM messages, blogs and other media sharing websites. Brick Marketing's viral video marketing is a service that combines the creation of a viral video and online video marketing.

Viral video marketing is a super way to build your online brand, visibility, among a host of other online business benefits. Take some lessons from the big guys about how to use video marketing the right way, it's about more than just traffic.

The amateurs like "Brookers" and "Lonelygirl" publish their video clips for fun and notoriety, and the big corporations like Nike, Warner Bros, and MTV2 produce and publish them in order to drive traffic to their web sites and sell more of their products or services. Because the advertising cost relatively inexpensive. And it produces results.

Todays youth now spend more time online that watching television. It's all about pageviews and favourites and bookmarks and links on blogs. Your YouTube video can assume viral status and be passed on via emails and blogs. Even be spotted on Facebook walls. Since the audience themselves decide whether or not your video is worthy enough to become viral or not. You better make sure it is. That is where StudioX comes in.

This piece also includes a best practices rundown by Justin Kirby, managing director of viral marketing company DMC, who did the planning, seeding and tracking for this campaign. The creative was produced by Maverick Media.

People aren't just watching video online, either. They're taking it with them by downloading video clips to their handheld devices like the video iPod and Sony's video game console, the PlayStation Portable. Now cell phones have the ability to watch YouTube videos.

For the online entrepreneur (the web site owner seeking to make money online) the purpose of your you tube video is to bring traffic to your site. The You tube video site is a phenomenon which has taken the internet by storm and unless you've been off in a far away place, you will not doubt have seen one of the many videos which have been popularized by the site such as Tyson the roller-skating dog. Did you know that You Tube gets twice as much traffic as Google. That means that you tube alone, gets one million hits a day.

Do a video contest because everyone else is. This online-video "contest" fad will continue, and it will become more difficult to activate consumers to promote your product. Do a search for "video contest" on Google and you'll see four or five different ads for contests.

The David Chappelle video contest is a good example of a nice idea with some executional flaws. First, it didn't initially promote the contest on its own website because it wanted to focus people on buying the DVD. Second, it petered out. Contest winners weren't announced and insufficient media budget promoted the contest. To give you an idea of how abused contests are getting, there was a summer promotion for a mayonnaise manufacturer looking for videos about may recipes.

However their are numerous ways to monetize viral videos. From contextual ad programs like Adsense, Yahoo Publishers Network and Chitika to affiliate programs and product sales "revenue sharing is just one aspect of earning money through the use of online video.

Viral video marketing is the gift that keeps on giving. Internet video marketing is going to be the next big thing in SEO. The "on-demand" characteristic of video marketing is another great benefit. Why video marketing is the most powerful and effective method to earn profits The truly simple steps to get setup in a flash and add videos to your web pages Why you're suffering, even if you don't know it, if you're only using other advertising and promotion techniques. The big reasons why video marketing is so effective and how you can capitalize on them and so much more.

Viral videos are those videocam recordings that get spread around the internet like wild fire. Without anyencouragement, people share a video clip with everyone they know. And within days, thousands of people have seen the video clip.

Facebook: Share, share, share. Other ideas include creating an event that announces the video launch and inviting friends, writing a note and tagging friends, or posting the video on Facebook Video with a link back to the original YouTube video.

Look at the evolution from where the internet first started. It started out with everything being free. Natural search was first starting. You could actually go to the top of a natural search engine within a day or two of launching a site and start getting traffic almost immediately.

Kevin Nalts is one of the most-viewed YouTube comedians with more than 650 short online videos seen more than 25 million times. By day he's a Marketing Director at a Fortune 100 company, and he speaks, writes and consults in the area of online marketing and viral video.

Video Marketing To Create Free Website Traffic

Author: Todd Ash

How to get web traffic, especially free web traffic, is always a million dollar question to every Internet marketer and online business owner. After all, no matter how good your products or services that you offer in your site are, they have no buyers if nobody comes to your site. Hence traffic is very crucial for your online business.

There are many ways to use video on the Internet to market your practice. The first is adding video to your exisiting website and the second is building a direct marketing dental video website from scratch.

Videos and video marketing are not just here to stay, they are the future of online marketing. As the larger corporations including TV and movie makers are now using his medium, it makes sense to join the party. Video marketing is one of the fastest growing online tactics with an audience that is hungry for more - so long as it is reasonable good quality and entertaining.

Look at the evolution from where the internet first started. It started out with everything being free. Natural search was first starting. You could actually go to the top of a natural search engine within a day or two of launching a site and start getting traffic almost immediately.

Where you place your video on your website can mean the difference between success and failure. You want to make sure that you put it where it will be seen. It should get prominent placement.

Autousa Has a Write-up on the Oregon Trail Rally

Author: Peter Collins

Ft. Lauderdale, FL - The Oregon Spring Trail is a three-day racing contest held every summer, near Portland, OR. This year’s event, its eleventh, commenced on April 20 at Portland International Raceway.

Crowd favorites

Rally America points leader Travis Pastrana, and his navigator Christian Edstrom were the fan favorites. They drove an Open Class 2007 Subaru Impreza WRX STi. Tanner Foust and co-driver Christine Beavis, another favorite, took an early lead on the first day driving a Rockstar Energy Drink Subaru.

Weather plays truant

The notorious Oregon weather, which produces heavy rain at this time of the year, makes this race a test of endurance as much as of skill. On the second day, due in part to Tanner Foust’s flat tire, Andrew Pinker and teammate, Patrick Walsh, driving a Jack Daniels Subaru took the lead on the slippery surface.

Final result

By the time the rally reached its final stages, only 44 of the 75 racers remained to cross the finish line. The final result showed Pinker on top; Ken Block second and Foust third. All the top three places went to a Subaru.

Soaring popularity

The popularity of this event has reached such a level that the X Games were introduced to it in 2006. Today, these games are broadcast live to millions on ESPN and ABC.

One difference between NASCAR and this is that here, all cars must be street-legal, and Oregon Trail racers are protected by working windshield wipers and headlights and should have license plates.

Xsitepro 2 Review-do You Really Need It?

Author: Mark Myers

Have you ever tried to build a website? Is a Blogger template the best you can hope for? Do you have enough trouble with English, let alone an entirely new HTML language? Do you have any clue what a CSS stylesheet is? Don't worry, it is about to get simple.

Ok, I have a confession. I have put up over 100 websites, and I barely know either. Yes using blogs and free WYSIWYG editors (That's what you see is what you get) I have had to learn some HTML. When I started using Frontpage and Dreamweaver I had to learn way more than I knew. I knew I was relegated to using sorry templates that I could not change forever. So I struggled putting up my first 10 sites. They were all horrible, are still up and barely pay for the hosting and domain names.

I knew to step up my profits, I quickly had to find another solution. I was reading through a free bonus report on web marketing and the author mentioned a product I had never heard of, XSitePro. I surfed around read some reviews, and thought it might be the answer to my prayers, so I bought it and tried it. WOW, it was almost as easy to put up a professional looking site as a my space page!

I started churning out web sites. I could build and publish a professional high ranking optimized site as quick as an article. I was in heaven, my sites were all search engine friendly user friendly, and I could go back to marketing my sites for income. I could keep using XSitePro for two more years if I had to, but there were limitations.

Web 2.0. Video, adsense, music, dynamic pages, interaction. Make no mistake,I do well for myself with my limited sites, and do not have a clue how to do any of these, but I know that is what the future will demand. In steps XSitePro 2. If you can think of any feature you would want a piece of software to do on building a website. It does it. Half of the things listed in the benefits, I do not understand.

What I do know is XSitePro 2 is leading the pack. With all the intuitive features it comes with, I am sure I will be able to double the number of sites I have making me money in six months. If you have never published your first site, or you are a seasoned pro and want to spend more time having fun than writing websites, XSitePro 2 is exactly what the doctor ordered. Construct two sites and call me in the morning!.
