Converting Newsletter Readers Into Website Explorers


All the experts agree, if you want visitors to explore your
website, you have to give them a reason; without one, they'll
click away from your site. If you publish an email newsletter
and own a website, here's an interesting way to promote viewing
of your website's pages among your newsletter readers.

Sprinkle (actually, "hide") trivia tidbits throughout the
pages on your website. They can be in body copy, image
captions, advertiser copy... anywhere. Then run a quiz in
your newsletter, letting your readers know the that all of
the answers are somewhere on your site. Offer a prize to the
first person to email you with all the correct answers.

You may freely repost the sample quiz without any resource
box. I would appreciate, however, some sort of a link to my
website Bison Creek Author Services
in your newsletter or on your site. If you need ad copy
lines for a newsletter link
