Jeremy Palmers Black Ink Project: Review of Day 13

This is the thirteenth installment of Jeremy Palmers Black Ink Project series.

In this series, I will be reporting on my participation in Jeremy Palmers Black Ink Project webinar training course.

Background

For those of you that don’t know him, Jeremy Palmer is the author of the(now free)mega-hit ebook called “High Performance Affiliate Marketing“. In this book, he details how he went from barely showing a profit to a super-affiliate.

Today’s Topic: Making Your Site Sticky

Jeremy taught today’s session which focused on things you can do with your site to develop a community of contributors and long-term customers.

Here are the areas covered:

Existing customers = best ROI
Types of on-site promotions
Why update your content?
Creating a publishing schedule
Publishing tools
Pros and cons of using blogs
Blogging software
Pros and cons of user generated content(UGC)
User generated content tools
Pros and cons of creating online communities(UGC)
Online community software(UGC)
Good and bad ways to automate site content(UGC)

Highlights

This session was a great reminder that we need to look at our favorite sites and pay attention to why we like them. Then, we should incorporate these elements into our Black Ink Project sites.

It’s really very basic: anything we can add to our sites that makes visitors feel like they matter or belong will improve the site experience for them and the bottom line for us.

My Top Take-Away

All of the tools necessary to make our sites stickier are available for free. Whether it is online community software(PHPBB), blogging and content management software(WordPress,Drupal) or user generated content scripts(HotScripts,Disqus), all of them are free and the industry standard for their respective categories.

Tomorrow’s Topic: List Building And E-Mail Marketing
