: WELCOME FROM THE PUBLISHER:
:=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Welcome Everyone to the Premier Edition of the
"Freebie Informer". It's here AT LAST!

I can't tell you how excited I am about this publication
and about the opening of Freebie Central at
http://freebiecentral.com. Work on both projects has
been going on for several months to fine-tune and perfect
them. Both the "Freebie Informer" and the Freebie Central
website are filled with valuable information that will benefit
Everyone!

As usual there is opposition in all things that are for
good and the official launch of Freebie Central has been
no different. The Official Launch for Freebie Central is
today, however, I experienced a major problem with my
web design software yesterday evening as I was putting the
finishing touches on the main design of the site and
then started adding the content. Therefore the site doesn't
have all it's content filled in yet. Fortunately the problem
was fixed today and the basic site with some information
is up. All the tips, tools, services, resources, and fun
stuff should be all included by this time next week. So
enjoy what's been so far and keep checking back.

As for the "Freebie Informer" it will be published Every
Thursday. In each issue of this publication you will be
informed about the newest, best, and most useful freebies
I've found while surfing the net. Also in each issue you
will find useful tips and an informative Business Building
Article to help you build your business on the internet.

It is my hope that this publication will benefit everyone
who is watching their expenses while building a business
on the internet. I will also throw in Freebies that are just
for fun to give you all a break.

Enjoy your subscription.

Sincerely,

Linda 'Rusty' Jenkins

If you haven't heard of the Gator yet, then you're
in for a real treat. I have been using this Free
software for several months now and am still
amazed as to how much time and headaches this
software saves me every day. The Gator is a free
online tool that eliminates frustrating web chores
like filling out forms and remembering passwords.
It also remembers your credit card numbers for
those all important purchases online. No more
digging for your card just when you're ready to
buy something. Gator safely stores your personal
data in an encrypted file on your hard drive. When
you hit a web page that has a form or requires a
login ID, account number or password, Gator
surfaces and provides the exact information
needed with NO TYPING! Gator is your smart online
companion. The best thing about it is that it's
FREE! http://freebiecentral.com/download/thegator/

: Your Free Business Building Report
:=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Is Your Website 'Visitor Ready'?
(c) 1999 Lee Benson

There are a lot of misconceptions related to website
design -=- the most common one being 'anything goes'.

However, nothing could be further from the truth.
A properly designed website that's been planned
and tested can mean the difference failure and
success.

If your website is just a mess of HTML code, with
no real plan and no real means of easy navigation,
then now's the time to start learning HOW you should
go about creating your website.

I've created a list of points that you should ALWAYS
follow when creating a business website.

* 1) Remember What Your Website Is For
----------------------------------------------------------------
This is a key point. Chances are that your business
website has been put on the web to do one thing:
Sell your products or services.

So always keep this goal in mind. It's surprising how
many website designers seem to forget that their
goal is to sell.

A personal website can get away with all the cute little
animated gifs, and the multi-colored text, but with a
business site, it's a whole new ball game.

So don't overload your site with slow-loading technology,
'cause people just aren't prepared to wait.

* 2) What's All This HTML Stuff?
----------------------------------------------------------------
Don't worry, you don't need to be a master HTML
programmer to create a website. But you DO need to
know the basics.

There are a lot of good 'What You See Is What You Get'
website building programs out there, so shop around
and pick one that you feel comfortable with.

Check out http://www.softseek.com and do a search
for web building programs. You can download the
software for free on a try-before-you-buy evaluation
period.

You don't want your website visitors to feel as if
they're in the hands of an amateur, so give the
right impression by learning the basics of HTML.

* 3) Create An Easy Navigational System
----------------------------------------------------------------
Don't make a site that needs a rocket scientist to
figure out how to get from one page to another.
Your website should be easy to navigate at all
times.

An important thing to remember is that not all of
your visitors will arrive at the main page. So,
what options will you give them to navigate your
site?

Don't force your website into a linear navigational
pattern. By this, I mean don't force people to
visit certain links. They should be free to visit
any page they want, so remember to provide text
or graphical links to every page.

If you're creating a big website with lots of page,
a site map or index page wouldn't be a bad idea.

* 4) Give Your Site A Constant 'Look & Feel'
----------------------------------------------------------------
When someone clicks on a link to another one of
your pages, you want them to know they're still
on the same website.

Therefore, maintain a constant look and feel to
your website. This can be as easy as creating
a HTML template, and just filling in the blanks
for each page.

This way, your visitors soon become aware of how
to navigate your website with ease, which your
visitors will love you for.

* 5) Fresh Content Is The Key To Repeat Visitors
----------------------------------------------------------------
Update your website as often as possible.
By constantly updating your pages, you're giving
a reason for visitors to return to your site.

If someone returns to your site, and notices that
your pages have been updated, there's a good chance
that they'll continue to browse through your site.

If they see your site hasn't been updated since
their last visit two months ago, then you can
guarantee they'll be gone with the click of
a mouse button -=- probably never to return again.

Why not add a 'What's New' section to your website?
This way, people can see 'at a glance' exactly
what's new.

* 6) Grab Their Attention FAST!
----------------------------------------------------------------
Within a few seconds of visiting your website,
your visitors need to know the benefits you'll
be providing for them, otherwise they're just
likely to continue surfing somewhere else.

The best way to do this is with your headlines.
Near the top of your main pages, add a powerful
headline that will catch the attention of the
visitor.

If they're interesting, then chances are they'll
continue exploring -=- or at least bookmark
your site for a later visit.

* 7) Providing Contact Information Is a MUST!
----------------------------------------------------------------
It surprises me to see how many websites are missing
out their contact information.

It's vital that you provide it! How can you expect
your visitor to trust you into selling your
product or service to them, if they don't even
know who you are!?

Put up your mailing address, your phone number,
fax, email addresses etc -=- The more contact
options, the better.

* 8) Do Something To Capture Your Visitors' Details
----------------------------------------------------------------
How many times have you let your visitors slip away
without knowing who they are?

The best way to generate repeat visitors and capture
their email address is by offering an opt-in
subscription to some kind of publication.

What, you mean you don't have your own newsletter?
This is a must! Starting your own opt-in mailing
list is one of the most powerful marketing concepts
ever created.

At the very minimum, you should publish a periodic
newsletter to inform visitors of new product updates
or website changes.

If you're a beginner when it comes to publishing
newsletters, I suggest you start off with a free
mailing list provide like OneList at http://www.onelist.com

* 9) Allow Your Visitors To Provide Feedback
----------------------------------------------------------------
How do you know if your visitors like your website?
How can you improve your site? What do your visitors
want to see from you?

All of these questions and more can by answered by simply
providing a feedback form.

Visitors are twice as likely to fill in a feedback
form than they are to click on an email link and
send you a message.

You don't need to be an expert programmer to provide
a feedback form. Free services such as FreedBack at
http://www.freedback.com have been set up to offer
you a FREE feedback form for your website.

It's easy!

* 10) Most Importantly, Offer Content That's Worthwhile!
----------------------------------------------------------------
No matter what traffic building tools you add to your
website or what marketing methods you employ, they're
not worth squat if your website is full of rubbish.

No-one is going to spend their time reading rubbish.
Therefore, do everything you can to provide your visitor
with worthwhile information.

Even better -=- Make sure you provide something for free.
Freebies are a great way to spark up extra interest,
so offer what you can.

It is said that at least 50 percent of your website content
needs to be related to providing your visitor with something
free.

In fact, my website at http://www.cyberprosper.com offers
at least 95 percent of free content -- and I can tell you that
this sure helps your sales.

Resources
----------------------------------------------------------------
At a conclusion to all of the above, I've compiled a list
of useful resources that will enable you to get a firmer
grasp on the idea of web design.
