There is the basic rule of every business: you have to sell things to earn money. Salesmanship, or the art of closing a sales, therefore, is of ultimate importance for any business venture. After all, we can’t expect any earnings if we don’t make any sales.
Winning customers is essential for the success of your enterprise. And this is absolutely true for online businesses too. In fact, winning customers online has its pros and cons. The good news is that the entire world is your market, and you could potentially reach more people through the World Wide Web. The disadvantage? The Internet offers a more impersonal channel in our dealings with people, making it more difficult to gain their trust and favor.
So what can you to do then? Fear not, dear friend. As with everything else in life, you should try to accentuate the positives to compensate for the negatives. Here are 5 methods by which you could gain a good number of customers, and keep them for a long and profitable business for you and your family.
1. Always deliver quality goods or services.
There is no better vehicle for our business message than our products themselves. Consistently offering things that are more than worth our customers’ time and money will brand us as enterprises that are committed to quality products and services. This would only serve us well in future dealings with the same clients. Additionally, this would make our clients as advertising vehicles for our business as well, as they would spread the word about the excellence of our service to people belonging to their network.
2. Always try to over-deliver.
People love receiving more than what they paid for. If you consistently give them some extras, their minds would be conditioned to trust your business for future transactions.
3. Provide bonuses.
In addition to the product you’re selling, add some more goods that would perk up the package. Do this in a manner that you will make your customers aware of the value of the bonuses if they were otherwise purchased. This would definitely increase the worth of your product, and such would make it more favorable for a successful sale. Additionally, your bonuses would foster good will with your clients, and this could go a long, long way for future orders.
4. Build relationships.
The importance of building good relationships with your customers cannot be undermined. As we’ve discussed earlier, the Internet is a rather informal venue for personal dealings. So try to humanize your approach so that your customers can relate to you as someone who is more than just a business provider, but also as a friend.
5. Make use of a mailing list.
A mailing list is an Internet marketers number one weapon. By capturing the contact details of people who may not have been interested with their current offer, they will be able to condition the same people for future sales. And this could serve their businesses well for quite a long time, as one successful sale can beget another and another after that. So invest on an excellent autoresponder service and prepare those follow-up messages well. Take good care of your subscriber base, and they will take good care of your business in return.
Winning customers is more than just luck. It entails a lot of strategizing and good planning. Retaining customers involve the same level of commitment as well. In the highly competitive world of online marketing, trust plays an integral role in achieving our goals. Try your best to win your customers’ trust. Take care of it. And for sure, this trust would fuel good business for you for many years to come.
Facebook is the most popular website at workplace. The social networking
site accounted for 6.8% of Web traffic from offices in January-March
2010 period, according to security firm Network Box.
Video-sharing website YouTube consumed 10% of business bandwidth during the period, up 2% from a year ago. Facebook was the second major bandwidth consuming website. The Web traffic data is based on Network Box's analysis of 13 billion URLs during the period.
Top five websites visited from workplace in January-March 2010:
Top five bandwidth consuming websites at workplace in January-March 2010:
Given that most people like to stay logged in to their Gmail and Facebook accounts, the results are not surprising at all. Facebook's dominance as the most used social networking site at workplace can also be attributed to the multitude of applications and games it offers, apart from chat.
The latest findings will deepen network administrators' concerns about use of social networking and video-sharing websites. Apart from increasing risks for the network, they add up to heavy expense for the firm. But one can hardly deny the fact that apart from giving some break to the employee, these social networking sites often serve as a tool for business communication. Choice is between being stingy and promoting use of social networks and Google services as a business expense or tool.

Are you among those who find Gmail's spam mail count an eyesore? It's really helpful that Gmail filters spam and keeps them in a separate folder, but you don't even want to see the number of spams recieved?
Using Gmail's filter feature, you can either choose to hide the count of spam mails by marking them as read or delete them as soon as the are recieved.
Go to Settings -> Filters -> Create a new filter. Alternatively, you can click on the "Create a filter" option near the search button on the top of your inbox.
Create a filter with following parameters:
- Has the words: in:spam
- Do this: Mark as read
- Has the words: in:spam
- Doesn’t have: my name, school, work, other words, etc.
- Do this: Mark as read

Do you dread "inappropriate" content in your Google search results? For example, a kid searched for pussy, expecting to see some cute kittens (four-legged). But Google would return results quite inappropriate for a kid expecting to see cute cats.
If you wish to avoid such a circumstance, you can turn the "Safe Search" option for Google by ging to the Preferences page in Google and choose appropriate options and save. But this option relies on cookies. So whenever the browser's private data is cleaned, you are back to square one. Can't we delete all cookies other than the Google Preferences permanent? Yes we can. There are a few add-on for Firefox Web browser that allow you to manage cookies. Use cookie managers to delete other cookies without harming Google Preferences cookie.
- Install CookieCuller Firefox add-on
- Open Google preferences page, select appropriate options and save
- If you use Google.com as well as other local Google, you will have to save preferences for all Google search sites
- Now open CookieCuller. It should be present under the Tools menu
- Look for a cookie by google.com or by the local Google search address with cookie name "PREF". This is the cookie which contains your Google search preferences.
- Select this cookie and click on "Protect"

Now whenever you need to delete cookies, go to CookieCuller and delete the desired cookies.
The cookie will stay in your browser till you use CookieCuller to delete other cookies. If you choose the browser's option to delete all cookies, the protected cookie will also get deleted. So always use CookieCuller to delete all other cookies, while keeping Google Preferences cookie.
Can't find the Google Preferences cookie? In case you cannot identify the cookie, delete all cookies in the browser. For this, go to Tools -> Clear Private Data and remember to select cookie option before deleting the data. Now go to Google Preferences page and set your preferences. Now when you open CookieCuller, you should find just one cookie. That's google Preferences ccookie. Protect it.
But there is still a problem: the "Safe Search" option won't be valid for searches done in the browser address bar and search bar. This can be solved by making "Safe Search" the default option for searches done in the Firefox address bar and search bar?

Follow these steps to make Firefox use "Safe Search" for all searches done in the browser address bar and search bar:
- Type "about:config" in Firefox address bar.
- Search for "url.keyword"
- Modify its value to http://www.google.com/search?safe=active&q=
(The value can be changed by double-clicking on it or by selecting Modify from the options that appear on right-click.)
Now your Firefox Web browser will only show "Safe Search" results by default.
The basic idea in this method is that change the search URL to "http://www.google.com/search?safe=active&q=". This can be done in other browsers as well. You need to know how to change the value.

Web address: One can immediately go to the address or location bar by pressing Ctrl+L or Alt+D or F6.
To automatically complete .com address, press Ctrl+Enter. Eg: for www.google.com, you just need to type google in address bar and then press Ctrl+Enter.

To complete .org address, use Ctrl+Shift+Enter.Eg: for www.google.net, type google and then press Ctrl+Shift+Enter.
If you need to type www.google.com/adsense, type google/adsense and then press Ctrl+Enter. For www.google.net/adsense, type google/adsense and press Shift+Enter. Press Ctrl+Shift+Enter for www.google.org/adsense. (Google Chrome will only be able to expand .com Web addresses.)
Web search: If you need to do a Web search, pressing Ctrl+K or Ctrl+J will take you to the Web search bar. In Google Chrome, prefixing ? with any query will give you Google search results.
Web search in address bar: To search any word or query with your default search engine, type the query in address bar and press Alt+Enter.

Do you need to use the text in an image of any letter or newspaper or
some document? Optical character recognition (OCR) tools can be used to
convert the text in some image (JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, TIFF or PDF) format
into word/text. But not everyone has an OCR application. That's where
free online OCR tools come to rescue.
There are plenty of good online tools that will read the text in images and give you the output in word format that you can copy and paste to desired place. This involves simple process of uploading the image on the website and then copy-pasting the resultant text. However, it's recommended to go through the text once because the results are not error-free. Some letters or words can be wrongly identified, changing the meaning of the text.
1. Online OCR: This supports all image formats as well as PDF (only the first page of a multi-page document). The text churned out by the OCR tool removes line breaks (not paragraphs), thus saving you the hassle of removing the unwanted line breaks when using the text in some document.

Converting PDF to Word
AnyBizSoft PDF to Word Converter
is a free Windows application for converting PDF files into formatted
Word DOC files on a click, provided you have Microsoft Word
2003/2007/2010 installed on your computer. (It's free only for
non-commercial use.) After installing the application using the
under-7MB Windows installer, you will have to register the product by
getting a key code from their website by giving your name and email.
I personally don't like being forced to get registered for using some free product. If I have to, I use any disposable email such as GuerrillaMail instead of my email address. I hope the product company will get rid of this annoyance in future versions.
The application has a simple interface where one can add (or drag-and-drop) multiple PDF files to be converted into Word documents. If only a few pages of any PDF file needs to be converted, the page numbers can be specified.
The tool can even convert your password-protected PDF files into Word. It shows a padlock icon next to protected PDF files. To unlock the file from the PDF to Word Converter's interface itself, click on the lock icon or right-click on the file and choose unlock option. Enter the password in the pop-up dialogue box. If you don't provide the password, the tool skips the protected file and continues processing other files.
The PDF to Word Converter does a good job in retaining the original format, images, graphics and links. However, it's formatting for tables can deviate from the original, given the complexity of the task. It's a fair deal as a free PDF to Word converting application.
The PDF to Word Converter cannot convert scanned PDF files into Word. If you want to convert scanned images and PDFs into text, use free online OCR tools.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the art of optimizing your website to what search engines (SE) want your website to be to rank higher.
There are many factors that come into play when you want to optimize your website.
Optimizing your website takes a lot of hard work, time, and money. To give you an idea about Optimization we will Sum up the Optimization factors in the following:
1. Link Popularity: The link popularity means that you need to have a lot of related back links to your website, having high page rank, and seen by major SE like Google, Yahoo, and Bing. Starting your back link building with directory submissions is one of many ways to build back links.
2. Optimized Website Content: Content includes everything in your website from website design, text content, images, and internal links.
3. User Friendly Website:This factor is common between visitors and SE in the way that they crawl your website to find internal links, posts, and pages. Make sure that your design is user friendly. If users coming from search engines, referring websites, or e-mail marketing cant navigate through the website easily displaying the content that they want with one click then the website is not user friendly.
4. Fast Load Time: Fast loading websites that are easy to crawl and fast to index. Fast loading encourage visitors to click on another link or two increasing the possibility of converting your website visitors to customers. Optimizing your code and reducing pictures and videos is one of the best ways to gain speed.
5. Optimized Meta Tags: Meta tags are actually what search engines will look at first before exploring your website content. Optimizing your meta tags with your website content is key for ranking.
6. Visitor Interaction: Your website should interact with the outside world through visitor comments and replies, social networks, article submissions, and press releases. This will give a good impression about your website gaining more online respect and visitor traffic.
