You can program your auto-responder to send information every 14 days for example, and create good quality content, and submit to your list for the next 6 months.
Email Newsletters. Creating a newsletter is a great way to encourage repeat and new visitors to your site. Not every email needs to a sales pitch, necessarily. Industry and company news are always good things to include, and you can also use this opportunity to find other websites that are similar to yours and link to them, both in your newsletter and on your site. Keep your newsletter short and to the point, and consider including fun facts and interesting trivia as well.
Many companies and websites find success with the use of affiliate programs, which allow people to sign up as an affiliate on your website, promoting your product from their own site, and vice versa, and splitting the commission from any sales. You can opt to sign up with an affiliate program site, or set up your own affiliate system, which is cheaper but takes more time to manage. Remember, the higher the commission that you offer, the more incentive others will have to become affiliates.

Whatever it was, take this opportunity to learn from others mistakes and make sure that your website is clean, easy to navigate, and is frequently updated with fresh content, links, and features. - 16747
