    To make things really interesting (and profitable), you need to offer your clients additional items. This can generate an entire new source of income for you. It’s called back-end marketing.

Remember, if you were in their shoes, what else might interest you? Hey, you can always ask them with an informal survey…

    So make sure you keep a list of all your customers. Compile this list in a database of some sort and guard it with your life. Lists are often-times considered the most valuable assets a business can have.

    Then send out follow-up/thank-you info to keep the number of refunds down. You can also use this database to send out more offers to your group of clients. Just be sure you send out offers for items related to the product they already purchased.

This works especially well if you are providing ebooks, online courses or downloadable software since these have no overhead cost.
