Good Deed

MAKE IT EASY TO READ

Make it easy for people to read your news -- don't make them all PDFs unless you really have to. If you feel you must create your releases in PDFs instead of a simple web page, make sure you put a note on the download page that tells them the documents are PDFs. You don't want to surprise your visitors by giving them a download if they think they're clicking a link to a page.

PUT PHOTOS ON THE PAGE

Make sure you have some great photos of your website on this page, with a comment stating higher quality images are available to use in print publications.

TONS OF BENEFITS!

You will feel great about doing a good deed for a worthy group or individual, and the benefits will keep coming back to you over time. This technique has really worked for me. I contacted two art groups on opposite sides of the world and offered my services to build their websites for them -- for free. It made me feel great to be able to help nn-profit groups I was interested in, and they were thrilled to have a better internet presence.

By doing this I was able to put a link to my own website on their websites. That has brought many website visitors over the past few years, and has resulted in clients I wouldn't normally have been able to reach.

Don't forget to let me know if this tip works for you!
