it the right way. Continue reading if you want to know how.
I've outlined 5 ways to reach your target. But, please keep in
mind that these are not the only ways that you can do to
increase your traffic. There are hundreds of techniques to
increase traffic. But these one are the proven one. I've used it
personally. More importantly, these techniques can get you FREE
traffic. You're money is saved in your pocket. Let's go to the
first one.
1: Linking strategy
Linking strategy is the easiest way to get free traffic. When I
say "the easiest way" it does not mean that you can ask
everybody to link to your site and do nothing after that.
Compared to other techniques that you'll discover, this one will
take less time to do.
Here's how to do it. First select the site in your niche market.
Be selective. Choose one that has a high traffic. Usually a high
traffic site is pretty stingy to put link to your site. So, the
key here is to be persistent. Ask them how many visitors do they
received per month and if they could link to your site. If they
don't answer your request, email them the second time.
Be persistent. If they don't want to link to your site, ask them
to trade link instead (reciprocal link). This is the last resort
you want to have.
Word of warning: Don't crowd your site with too many links. Only
accept link trading if it's really worth it.
2: Offer Free eBooks or submit articles
You'll fall in love with this technique if you see what it can
do to your site. This technique can create an excellent'Viral
marketing' effect. It can multiply the no of visitors to your
site in a matter of days. This most important thing about this
technique is that to offer something that is really useful to
your visitor. So useful that they can only get that information
from you!
You need to the 'wants' in your need market. What problems do
they encounter? Solve these problems and you have a killer
articles or e-book that you can give away for free. Remember,
don't sell it. Give it away for free. If you feel really
reluctant to give your article or e-book for free, you can give
your visitors a partial of it. But, make sure it's really
useful. Don't forget to put your name and your contact
information in this article or e-book. Usually, if you write an
article, you need to include your resource box at the very
bottom of your article.
The most important task in this technique is to offer a reprint
right to your visitors. What this mean is that your visitors can
publish your articles or e-book to anyone in any medium; email,
Ezine, website or anything. But please state your condition:
Include your contact information or resource box. This will
create viral effect to your visitors.
Before I forgot, there is one particular e-book compiler that is
good in doing this kind of task. The name of this e-book
compiler is 'E-book Edit Pro'. With this compiler, you can offer
your visitors a customizable e-book. This is a great incentive
for them to distribute your article or e-book since they can put
their name and information in it.
3: Classified Ad
This is the most time consuming technique compared to all 5.
While it is time consuming, it is really worth it.
Tips - This technique should be used together with the above
technique. Let me explain:
First, you need to write an e-book or article that you can give
it away for free. Then, you need have an autoresponder. If you
don't have an autoresponder (your hosting company should provide
this service for free), you can get one for free. Just type
'free autoresponder' in your search engine and you'll get
hundred of sites that provided free autoresponder.
Enough talking. Let's continue.
After you have your own autoresponder, place your free article
in this autoresponder. Now, you need to advertise your
autoresponder address in the classified ad website. Don't put
your email address but your autoresponder address. The best part
with this technique is that you can capture you visitor's email.
You can contact them again and again if you have any offer in
the future.
4: Deliver informational pack Ezine/Newsletter
People surf the net to look for information. Out of 100, only 3
people surf the net to buy something. But others are doing some
research or try to find something informational.
With this keep in mind, you can attract people to come to your
site if you can deliver them timely information. By producing
timely information, you glued these visitors to your site
preventing them from going elsewhere. This can be done by giving
them free newsletter or Ezine.
This is not an easy task because there is abundance of free
information on the net. You need to give them something
different from these 'free' stuff. Try to provide something
unique in your Ezine. For example, if you're publishing music
Ezine, try to make a deal with music label so that you can give
special price to your subscriber. Make sure your subscriber
cannot get this of kind if deal in other place. If you can
create this unique proposition, you're already on top of the
world. Your Ezine will spread like fire. More people will come
to your site to subscribe your unique newsletter.
5: Offer affiliate program
This is the greatest FREE traffic generator technique out there.
With this technique both parties win; you and your affiliate
program participant. You get more traffic and sales, they get
more money from referral commission.
This topic is really a large topic. I can write a whole e-book
about how to create a successful affiliate program. But, I'll
discuss the basic thing about affiliate program in here.
Basically, to create an effective affiliate program, you need to
create an interest for your visitor's to join your affiliate
program. You can do this by giving them high referral fees and
marketing tools for them to use. Above all, you need to make
them easy to promote your product or service. Don't make them do
all the hard work. It is your job.
The next thing you need to do is to motivate them to spread the
word about you. Contact them in a timely manner. Don't forget
them after they've joined your program. Make them feel special.
In fact, they are special since they are the one who will do the
promotion and advertising. A well designed affiliate program can
increase your website traffic and sales by unimaginable amount.
But again, you need to devote all you effort in this technique
if you want to have a successful affiliate program. Don't do it
half way. Even if you've to work 18 hours a day to create your
own affiliate program, it's really worth it in the future. The
payoff is going to be thousand times your initial effort.
All of these techniques are free. You don't have to spend a dime
on them. Try it on your site. I've tried all these techniques.
And they work!
