Add Personality To Your Site.
Do not be ashamed to add a little something about your self to your site. Your customers are coming to your site, to meet a real person with real solutions to their needs or problems.
Include a picture, your name, your personal email address, and eventually a phone number. Give them hard fact about your knowledge and a reason why they should listen at you.

Sell Quality Products
Quality is a relative term. What is quality to you is not necessarily quality to an other. What is important to your business is however, that you do not try to sell products, that you do not personally find to be valuable.

You are trying to operate in the Internet, so pay attention to the fact, that an satisfied customer is able to tell not only friends about a bad experience, but 1000′s of people in a mater of just hours.
Never try to sell something that you would not be satisfied spending money on your self. If you would not buy the product, why should your prospects?
Add An Unexpected Bonus
Make sure the product your try to sell adds value to the customer, but try also to add some kind of bonus. Try find a supplementary product. It could be someone else’s product that you have bought Master Resell Rights to, but do a brainstorm and I’m sure you will come up with ideas your self. Email the customers, or if you have a phone number, call the customers to ask if they have any questions, if they are satisfied, or if they need anything else.
