Balkhis - Vision For Success

Attracting more and more visitors

Dear Readers, I would like to thank you for reading this post. I highly value your feedback and would like to know more about my readers. Follow me on Twitter

Alot of people tend to believe online business is much easier then regular business because online clients are easier to find. Well no, it is the same process as any other local business would have. You need to have a good client base. Online business is a place where reputation is a key, and you will see me saying this in almost each and every single post because it is that important for the success of an online business.

You will attract more and more visitors if each client you had was happy with your service. Now the client can be a visitor as well or a user because you have no idea how much these people can do for you. First of all, free mouth to mouth advertising. If they really like your website, they can even add you in their social bookmarks so other people can see it. Now the question becomes how will you attract those users, those clients, those visitors ?? Well read on and i will show you a few tricks.

Under Promise Over Delivery

Now many people get big hits when they make big promises, but when they let their clients down, it doesn’t go well for them because now those clients will not recommend you. You need to start out humble, and say yes it can take this long till i provide this service, or i can offer you all my knowledge, but i dont know if that will be enough for you. Think of the worst possible scenario and then set your deadlines. When i take a design contract:

ME: i tell my client it can take upto 7 – 10 days for us to finish a simple webdesign.

Client: Some clients are like i need it quick can it be faster than that.

ME: Our designing service is based upon your approval, so the better understanding we have in our deal the faster we can produce our product, but it can take upto 7 – 10 days.

Client: OK.


Now basically, my client is ready for that time limit. Now i set that limit because the client can reject a few first tries and such, but if the client likes the first mock design. Then it will only take 4 days. Now i am delivering the design in 4 days which was agreed that it can take up to 7 – 10 days. My client is happy because they wanted it done quick, and now they are even more happy because my design is the one what they wanted.

What will happen next? Your client will have many friends and he will refer each and everyone to you. It has happen alot with me, and i am in the recommendation list of alot of my clients. So now with that one client the service i provided, got me more and more client.

The title of this subsection was inspired from Tyler Dikman – Phenomenal Success Story

Watch it here

Now you can see what i am telling you is not some rubbish because it actually works.

Unique and Desirable

Now we all know that unique products tend to get a little bit more exposure then the others, but i say desirable products can also be successful. A combination of the two is the best one. I am not saying that you need to make a whole new product, but if you can find a one that is very well wanted by the users and add your unique touch in it. You will get more and more visitors.

For instance, i will take blogflux as an example. If it was only a blog directory then i am sure not many people would go to it, but the fact that they combined all the concepts together and add their touch now they are getting good exposure and more and more visitors. Hence why they are recommended in my list ;)

Offer something that no one offers

This is a big time success, but it is very hard to find such things, but if you can then you are on your way. Hypothetical situation this world was full of web directories. Back in time that was the case, and Larry Page comes in and put in Google. There we go. Google is a hit. It is very hard to find these things though. I offer designs, but not other people designs, the designs that are made by me and my group, so now that is something that not many people offer so thats why alot of my users come back to me because they liked my other designs.

Now all this go back to my post Quality vs Quantity. You want to concentrate on quality because if i have first 3 free templates released and they were all good. The user will come back to download the next ones that i release, whereas if i have 100 free templates but neither are that good … users will not come back to download again on my website. Same thing Tyler Dickman mentioned as well that he doesn’t want to have a bigger client base than he can support.

You don’t want to start something that you can’t get around to and work on. In my future posts, i will be discussing on how that could be a downfall for your business.

I completely agree with you on this.
Its always better to take more time from the clients and delivering them before the expiry.

Yes it definitely keeps the clients satisfied and sets you up for a nice little bonus, surprise or promotion!

I definitely agree with Under Promise Over Delivery. I think doing that makes them more satisfied and makes them feel that you did the job better than you were supposed to.
