You made a website with love and posted it online on the World Wide Web. Now, all you have to do is wait and see who is visiting.
Okay?
No!
You have to do something to get people to your website.
There are many ways you can generate traffic towards your website, but I will focus on only 3 of them; which usually produce very fast results (if not immediately).
The three tracks are:
1. Buy Traffic for your website
2. Send offers and information to people on your mailing list
3. Ask for synchronized links/approvals
1. BUY TRAFFIC FOR YOUR Website
As the name suggests, this strategy may require you to spend money!
You can place ads for your website on other websites similar to yours or you can place your website ads on search engines. This way, when someone is looking for a product similar to the one you are selling / advertising, an ad for your website will appear in front of them. Therefore, you will be able to identify people from your niche, and these "targeted" people have the highest potential to buy your product because they already wanted it.
You only have to pay for the ad when they click on the link. Such ads are known as Pay Per Click (PPC) ads. Some of the most highly recommended PPC advertising sites are:
Google Ads
Yahoo! Search Marketing
Viva (formerly found.com)
Go click
If you choose PPC, make sure it provides tracking software that helps you find out how useful it is for you. This way you will be able to choose the ones that are most profitable and discard the ones that are not.
2. SEND THE OFFER TO THE LIST OF KINGS
Brian Campbell (a successful Internet Marketing Guru and best-selling author) states that the Internet Marketing Commandment states: "You can not promote anything online unless you first capture the email address of your website visitors."
He says, "You should not try to get one visitor to your website unless you have a way to capture the name and email address of the website visitors who visit your website."
You need to capture most of your incoming traffic emails because they may not be buying anything for you on their first visit to your website, and they may never come back! To prevent that from happening, you are giving them something they would like to sign up for (like other FREE information and VERY IMPORTANT to deliver what you promise!). Then you save their attention by sending them additional free content, as well as advertising discounts for sandwiches in between. One email from you will return most of them to your website!
Warning here: DO NOT overwhelm your email list clients with too many promotional offers, you will lose your credibility. You should send them free essentials in between offers, so they want to read your emails.
3. REQUEST CONNECTION / CONNECTIONS
There are thousands of websites selling products similar to yours. Instead of thinking of them as your competitors, instead, think of them as your potential friends; Ask them to advertise your product just as you advertise theirs. These website owners can help you in several ways:
They can put links and banners on your website, instead of putting their own on your website. Or, they can just add your link to their website, and you can pay them a pre-agreed commission when they make a sale for you.
Or; they can email to their email list, and approve and advertise your product while doing the same for you.
Such "deals" are known as Joint Ventures (JV deals) and these are some powerful strategies you can use to send more traffic to your website.
Try these tricks for your websites. Better results are produced when all three marketing strategies are used together. You may want to try these and see which one works best for you and focus on that. These three strategies, combined with other marketing strategies, can make your website famous and marketable and make you the happiest person in online business.
