On long road trips, we keep our eyes pealed for a nice looking gas station that is close to the highway. The station doesn’t need to do any special advertising to get our business. Their prime location is what will get us to their pumps.

For brick and mortar retail establishments, often the key to success is “location, location, location”. For success on the worldwide web, the key is “information, information, information.”

Because your friends and family know and trust you, making a purchase from you isn’t a scary proposition. Outside your circle of friends, the selling climate changes dramatically.

Preselling is about establishing yourself as an expert and letting the potential customer get to know you. This is crucial to gaining their trust and getting them to buy from you. An easy way to do this is by blogging, participating in online social groups, or article marketing.

You should make your articles work for you more than once. When you write an article for your blog, also post that same article on http://www.ezinearticles.com. You must first register with ezinearticles.com and then your article needs to be approved, which can take a few days. However, the extra exposure and links back to your site make it worth the two or three minutes spent posting your articles there.

Your mentor can help you decide what to include in the “author’s bio” section of your ezinearticles.com articles.
