Boost your sales with Web Marketing Today Premium Edition

Issue 44, May 1, 1998


Dr. Ralph F. Wilson, e-commerce consultant Welcome to Issue 44 which goes out to 39,042 subscribers throughout the world.

I just got a call from the owner of a gift collectibles site. "What can I do to get more people to visit my site?" Sarah asks.

I refer her to my article, The Web Marketing Checklist: 23 Ways to Promote Your Website. It's a pretty comprehensive digest of approaches.

"I just don't have time to do everything I need to," she says.

"Just keep on doing what you can, day in and day out," I advise. With Web marketing, persistence counts. I understand better than some how there's not enough time. But to all my Web marketing friends around the world, I want to send some gentle encouragement. Don't give up. Keep on what you've been doing right, and try to add one more promising approach this season. Hang in there, my friend.
Dr. Ralph F. Wilson, Editor

Odds 'n' Ends

I'll be a speaker at Das Medienforum NRW 1998, June 14-17, 1998 in Cologne, Germany, sponsored by Forschungsinstitut für Telekommunikation Dortmund, a German e-commerce firm. If you live anywhere near Cologne, why don't you let me know. Maybe several of us can get together for coffee Sunday night, June 14 in Cologne. How about it?
