Traffic! Traffic! Traffic! It’s the most important formula to your business. If you don’t drive traffic to your website, you don’t make sales, and if you don’t make sales you don’t make money.
What are 3 great ways to drive traffic?…
#1 – Viral Marketing – If not one of the most biggest traffic driving method. All the big companies like yahoo, myspace, youtube use it. It’s the reason they are so successful, there able to multiply efforts of other people easily.
You can apply this to your business. Imagine being able to create a simple website with a simple purpose but it runs itself, it virally duplicates over and over again, just think of the possibilites in sales, signups, subscribers etc you can pull just from that alone.
Here’s a easy way to implement this, it’s called the giveaway approach. Here’s how it works… You simply find a hot demand product or service that people simply cannot pass up and create a minisite where they can download it.
You want to make sure that you use a opt-in form from your autoresponder so that you can capture information. It’s a win-win, they get a download, you get to follow up with them again. But here’s the twist… Once they fill out the opt-in form you don’t leave it at that.
What you do is get a tell-a-friend script that will be in place of the thank you page, and offer another demandable product, preferrably with a higher value and give them the option to tell 3 – 5 friends and get that other bonus free.
Now, the other bonus has to be a mystery, don’t reveal what it is yet, you want to cause curiosity so that they anxiously tell 3 friends, once they do that, the viral power starts, those 3 friends will come and do the exact same thing telling 3 of their friends.
Do you see how POWERFUL this is… You can simply find a free tell a friend script through google search with keywords like “tell a friend script” or “free tell a friend script” or better yet, to have full control – Mike Filsaimes Viral Friend Generator will get the job done.
#2 – Viral Video – If you’ve been paying attention to the trends on the internet, you already know that video plays a big part. The fact is, video isn’t anything new, but video has made a SERIOUS comeback. Websites like Youtube and Break are great examples.
Human behavior doesn’t change much, but the demand for certain things do, and video happens to be that outlet. Video is a power tool for advertisers, it brought a new avenue for internet media such as news, funny videos, commercials/ads and just about anything.
You would be surprised at what you can get away with videos. And you would also be surprised at how much TRAFFIC videos can bring you. If you can post a 30 second – 3 minute video – you can drive 100’s to 1,000’s of visitors to your websites.
You don’t have to be a professional video editor, you don’t have to have advanced software, all you need is a webcam and some creativity. There are little 1 minute videos on youtube that are getting over 100,000 views.
Unless you’ve been under a rock, that is a LOT of traffic, imagine if you directed it to your website how much sales, signups, and subscribers you could pull. It’s free to upload, and it’s giving space for the little guy to broadcast to a broad audience like big companies do, it’s anyones game.
Let’s say you have an affiliate program your trying to promote. You can make a simple video about what it can do for other marketers, or you can have someone else make it for you and split the profits, think about it.
#3 – Text Link Advertising – This is one that most marketers don’t utilize. It’s unlike PPC where you have to pay per click with high keyword bids and lot’s of competition.
The key is to seek out HIGH traffic websites that are targeted to your offer, but not in direct competition. You won’t want to advertise Vonage on Verizons website, it just won’t happen.
Text link advertising varies in price, it could be from $10 – $100+ and from a duration of 1 day – 1 year. You can find these gems by googling your websites target market.
When you find a website that is targeted to what you offer and has a high rank, you should investigate it, alexa has a cool little toolbar that will let you see the traffic rank which you can download at alexa.com.
If you don’t want to do all the labor yourself, they are websites that will do it for you such as adbrite.com and text-link-ads.com … Text-link-ads.com has an ad professional that will match websites that are targeted to yours for free, giving you the exact price and traffic you can expect.
Text link advertising gives your marketing flexibility, imagine spending a one time $50 on a 30 day ad that drives 1000’s of visitors to your website. With that kind of potential, depending on your offer, it can bring you back 1000’s and all you did was spend $50, it all varies in price and duration on your ad.
I’ve shared with you the MOST important methods for getting traffic, each one of these tactics is guaranteed to pull in swarms of traffic like a magnet, but you have to put them to use. I’ll let you in on a EXPLOSIVE website that will show you how to start driving 1000’s of visitors RIGHT now!
