Why you need to and How to Follow up Your visitor or customer.
Radhika Venkata
The person who comes to your web site seeking products or information is a visitor. A person who bought a product or service of yours is a customer or client.
***Why should you follow up Your VISITORS
Simple...
People tend to forget easily.
After he gone from your web site, he may not remember that he came to your web site. He/She could have some reasons not to buy a product right now. Or he still searching for a product similar to yours. This person is a potential prospect to you. So try to get their email adddress and permission from them to receive emails from you.
How to get their email:
Offer free product with basic feature, later they can upgrade
Offer fully functional demo product that expires after a time
Offer coupons that give discounts on your products
Offer a free ecourse
Offer an ezine
Offer a free ebook
Offer free membership for a certain period
***Why should you follow up Your CUSTOMER
You can ask me... Why should I follow up my customer He already my customer, isnt it
Dont forget the simple psychology of comfort. Once your customer is using your product means, he will have more confidence in you and your service. So he/she will be easily influenced to buy your other products.
***How to follow up Your visitors and customer
The main aim of the following is to do opt-in email marketing.
1. Put email addresses in an follow up autoresponder: You can buy a mailing list software or an autoresponder to send follow up emails. Schedule them every 15 days or so. Or you can send broadcast promotional emails to your customers.

2. Start forums for your products or service: People will join in the forums to ask you presale questions or someother product inquiries. During registration process tell them that they will receive promotional emails once in a while and they can unsubscribe anytime.
3. Offer a free product in exchange for an email address.
4. Offer discount to your present customers. Once they signed up for your membership area means you should have their contact emails. So you can send them coupons, discounts etc.

10 helpful tips to follow when switching web hosts – Domain Name
10 helpful tips to follow when switching web hosts
Russ Mate
Youve made your decision to move from your website from your current web host to a new web host. The following tips will help you make the transition easier and make you aware of some potential pitfalls to avoid.
1 Make sure the new web hosting plan youve chosen offers you the storage capabilities to handle all of your current website storage requirements. If your website is 50MB, you need to make sure your new hosting plan offers that much space, or more. If youre not sure how much space your website is using, ask your current host. You can also usually find this information on your web hosting control panel.
2 How does your current web host determine what your storage amount is used for Find out what your current and new host includes in your plans storage amount. Are your emails and log files counted towards your total storage, or just your web files
3 What operating system does your current hosting plan use Windows or Unix Sometimes this can make no difference, in other cases it can make the difference between a working website and a broken website. If your site is currently on a Windows server and your website uses ASP scripting, youll find it difficult to make things work well on a Unix server, as ASP is a Windows based programming language. Find out ahead of time whether your current hosting plan is on a Unix or Windows server.
4 Does your site currently use FrontPage Find out if your new host supports FrontPage. And make sure your new host supports the same version of FrontPage you currently use.
5 Find out if your new hosting plan offers you the same amount of bandwidth that your current host offers. You dont want to be surprised by unexpected overage charges at the end of the month.
6 Does your new web hosting plan give you the same amount of email accounts, autoresponders and mail forwards that you currently use
7 Does your site use a shopping cart that your current hosting plan provides Can you move the cart to your new host If not, does your new host have a suitable shopping cart replacement
8 If you are using any scripts on your website, make sure that your new hosting plan supports all of your scripts. Find out in advance if youll need to make any modifications to your scripts to get them working on the new server.
9 Make sure to set up your existing email accounts on your new server before transferring your domain name to the new server. At MateMedia www.matemediainc.com we see this overlooked quite often.
10 Do you know how to upload your website files to the new server If you dont, youll need to find out if your new web host will upload your files for you. Some hosts will do this at no charge, some will do it for a fee, yet other hosts wont do it all because of liability issues.
Once all your files are uploaded to the new server, youll want to double check that the site looks and functions properly on the new server. Most hosts can provide a preview link for you to see how your site looks before the domain name is transferred over. If your host does not provide a method for you to preview your site, you can modify your hosts file to preview your site. The host file tells your computer where to go to look for sites that are listed in that file. This works with any version of Windows. The file name is the same, the location can change. Heres how to modify your hosts file:
The file HOSTS should be in the c:windowssystem32driversetc You might only find a file named HOSTS.SAM as in SAMPLE. That is OK; we can modify the HOSTS.SAM file as well and do a SAVE AS HOSTS.
In either case, double click on the HOSTS file to open it. You will be prompted by Windows to select an Application Program to use to VIEW the file.
Scroll the list and select Notepad. Click the OK button. The NOTEPAD program will now open, displaying the file HOSTS. You will see examples listed The # symbol is used to comment out line or remarks., the format is this. IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx SPACE name
So, to tell your computer that www.yourwebsite.com is at the address replace with your real IP 12.345.678.90 add the following entry to the bottom of the hosts file:
12.345.678.90 www.yourdomain.com As in the example.
Click on FILE, slide down and click on SAVE AS.
In the Save As Type field, select ALL FILES. Ensure that no .SAM is shown after the filename HOSTS. Click SAVE. You may be warned that the file already exists; this is fine, click YES.
Close Notepad, by clicking on FILE, slide down to EXIT, and click.
Now when you open your web browser, or try to ping the site, your system will go to the IP address you typed in the HOSTS file.
Remember to undo this when finished testing or your machine will always want to go to that IP address whenever you want to go to that site.
After youre satisfied that your site looks ok and functions ok, you can go to your registrar the company where your domain name is registered and modify the nameservers associated with your domain name to your new web hosts nameservers. If you dont know your new hosts nameservers, ask them. Most hosts have that information listed somewhere on their website or in the email you first get after signing up for an account.
Once the dns modification is completed itll be 24-48 hours before youll see your site on the new server.
Most whois utilities will display the nameservers of the current host. A good one is at http://whois.sc. Check your domain name and see if the nameservers you added are listed. If so, you have completed the website transfer to your new web host. Only after youve confirmed this is it ok to cancel your old web hosting account.
