8 FREE Traffic Sources

Every online entrepreneur wants more traffic for their site.

FREE traffic is ideal.

Unfortunately, most people get confused, misguided and overwhelmed when it comes to traffic generation.

It is called Information Overload.

Why? It seems every ‘guru’ has their own way of generating traffic in their online marketing efforts.

How do you know who to follow?

My recommendation is to pick one or two people you respect and unplug from everyone else.

The fact is… most of free traffic sources work if… you do.

And is where the breakdown begins for most people.

People get seduced by the next shiny objection (easy traffic and lead generation method )then they go running off in that direction.

The problem is they never get good at, let alone master a free traffic source.

Do you know any one like that?  Hmm…?

Generating free traffic is very doable but you must be consistent with it.

I see it all the time, I’ve done it myself.  A person starts to blog once a week then they disappear for a couple of weeks with no content added to their blog.

Who is going to follow them?

Or they are on Facebook interacting with friend and then they disappear.

Have you seen this too?

The key to get a steady flow of free traffic is being disciplined with yourself so you can produce valuable content and constant interaction with your followers.

In the video below I share the 8 free traffic sources that you can use to create a flow of new traffic to your sites.

One of my favorite bloggers online is Kim Roach over at BuzzBlogger.com.

Kim is one of those rare finds in the IM space that consistently provides tremendous value in everything she does.

She’s a country gal at heart but don’t let that fool you…

She’s been beating out many of the big-name gurus with her southern belle charm.

In fact, many refer to her as the ‘Traffic Queen’. Which from what I’ve seen is certainly a worthy title.

At the ripe ‘ol age of 25 she’s managed to unlock the secrets to massive traffic…testing and tweaking new traffic strategies… plus adding her own little twists and tricks.

And unlike most other marketers, she spends most of her time in the trenches, locked up in the marketing laboratory – cookin’ up more juicy traffic goodness.

But every once in a while she surfaces back up into the real world to share her latest findings.

If you’d like to see what she’s been cookin’ up in the lab lately go now to:

The Traffic Dashboard

Kim’s has unlocked her very best traffic strategies in her latest product called ‘The Traffic Dashboard’.

It’s a complete training center that contains over 20 of Kim’s top traffic getting methods.

These traffic techniques are really quite unique as you can see for yourself by taking a look inside the member’s area…

Traffic Dashboard – a sneak peek inside…

Inside ‘The Traffic Dashboard’ Kim shows you how to go from nothing to over 3,000+ subscribers in just 30 days. (all in step-by-step detail).

You literally point and click your way to increased traffic with Kim’s unique dashboard design. (as seen above)

You have to actually TRY to mess this one up! Because the point-and-click learning system forces you to take action.

Here’s a sneak peak at what you’ll find inside…

An underground tool for extracting exactly where your competitor’s website traffic is coming from. This is like being given the keys to the kingdom. (I’m really surprised Kim is sharing this little gem)

(If you thought Alexa was cool imagine knowing EXACTLY how much traffic your competitors were getting each day and knowing exactly where that traffic was coming from.)

“James Bond” tactics for spying on your competitors and forcing them to hand over all of their hard-earned, battle-tested, profit-busting strategies.

A super simple method for cramming your opt-in list with 200-400 subscribers in a single day… (and NO this has nothing to do with ad swaps)

A really cool strategy that shows you how to get 10x MORE traffic from EVERY article you write.

As many of you probably already know, traditional article marketing is becoming less and less effective. What worked in 2004 simply doesn’t cut it anymore.

So Kim show’s you 10 different ways to re-purpose your content for additional traffic and exposure. Use just a couple of the strategies in this video and you’ll have no excuse for not getting AT LEAST a couple hundred visitors for every article you publish.

… and that’s just the tip of the iceberg!

This thing is packed with over 8 hours of juicy traffic goodness… NO fluff… NO filler.

With over 8 hours of step-by-step video and enough how-to information to DESTROY literally every question, worry and problem you’ve ever had in regards to traffic.

A Word of Warning: There’s just ONE caveat to this product. In fact, these traffic methods will NOT work in all situations. In order for these traffic strategies to reap their full power – you MUST be creating HIGH QUALITY CONTENT! (not some auto-generated content that not even your momma would be proud of…)

If you think you’re going to slap together some useless crap, throw up some auto-generated sites and have thousands of visitors pouring in…This course is NOT for you.

This training course was created specifically for people who are looking to build REAL businesses online… People who are dedicated to providing top-notch value for their visitors, subscribers, and customers.

This is something Kim stresses a lot, and I agree. If you’re not willing to take the time and effort to put together some really good content and offer real value, then don’t bother with ‘The Traffic Dashboard’. It will just be a waste of time for you if you don’t have good content in place.

But…

If you are dedicated to building a REAL business online and providing your visitors with REAL VALUE then ‘The Traffic
Dashboard’ will help you to grow your business 10x faster.

Plus, at an affordable price to boot!

PS   I will be offering some crazy bonuses at the end of this webinar…don’t miss them!

If you are a network marketing leader or would like to be one then you know a KEY ingredient for your success is your ability to teach and duplicate methods that create sales and sign ups.

Simple enough to understand.  Not so easy to implement.

In today’s competitive market place, online marketing knowledge will either put you on the fast track if you embrace it or if you fear it, will keep you in the dark ages.

Traditionally, many MLM and network marketing leaders have told their teams to build a list of 100 names. You know the old “who do you know list”.

Sadly, this is what they called “Marketing”.

In this day and age, most people find that approach less than appealing.  While some folks do very well at this, most including me have a resistance to it.

What’s the answer?

In my opinion, you must learn how to market like a professional. It is not rocket science, it is just what serious businesses do.

It is not hard but, it does require time to learn and implement properly. And most importantly  you need a coach to teach you and to help you stay on track to maximize your performance.

Social Media is the hottest thing since sliced bread (if you are aware of this then read my previous post and watch those videos on Social Media trends), tons of people think they are marketing online when in reality they have a bad case of verbal diarrhea.   They spam people with unwanted information about their products and their business.

This is what gives our awesome industry a bad name.

In the video below you will learn about a system that will teach you  how to market online and even better, how you can earn income off your prospects that do not join your business…how sweet would that be?

Now, let’s take a deeper look into the 7 figure networker system.

I’ll review several of the pre-written and tested landing pages that your prospects will go to without you ever understanding any HTML code, pay for any web site hosting  or any of the technical stuff of web site development.

You can take this system for a test drive for 7 days for only $1.

The truth is…in a 7 day period you can get $1000s of worth of training for a measly buck!

You can build your list simply by writing articles, whether you have thought of it or not.

Quite simply, you write and submit your articles on your topic of expertise or business nature to popular article directories where eZine publishers and readers are looking for the information you provide.

Leveraging your viral marketing efforts on article writing can be rewarding, if done right. In the real sense, you are actually proving your worth and demonstrating your expertise about your business through the articles you write.

So, how can this method in effect build your mailing list? The answer: the resource box you attach to your articles. In your resource box (also known as bio box), you include a brief detail about yourself and your business site together with its URL.

It is strongly suggested that your resource box URL links to your mailing list’s landing page where you can get your visitor’s name and email address, which will in turn help you build your mailing list at no cost.

If your articles are found worth sharing, eZine publishers will republish your articles together with your resource box for their readers and subscribers. The wonderful result: viral marketing without effort on your part!

You can start by writing and submitting your articles to trusted article submitter sites such as http://www.articlemarketer.com/ and begin your article marketing journey today.

Demonstrate how to use your products
A video can be a great way to show how to use a product that may be a new idea or something that people may wonder how to use. It gives the consumer a look at how easy it is to operate and how well it works.

Give a complete and accurate picture of what you are selling
Make sure that you cover every aspect of your product in your video. Also make sure to include important points, like how to order, guarantees and other important information that the consumer should know.

Convey how important the customer is to you
Make the customer feel important. Use phrases that say you care about the customer and that you are selling them this product because you know it will benefit them and help them.

Demonstrate the unique qualities of your product
You want to highlight why your product is better than other similar products on the market. You need to highlight the unique features and aspects of your product. This is standard marketing, but something easily forgotten in the process of creating a sales video.

Put testimonials in your video
Testimonials are very effective, especially when a consumer can actually see the person giving the testimonial. This is a great way to boost the consumer’s confidence in you and your product.

Back up your printed information with the video
Make sure that your video and your written sales pitch match up. Your video should be a good guide to what you have written on your sales page. It should not contradict it or add in information.

Use every aspect of video
Video gives you the ability to really reach out to a consumer. You get the ability to speak to them and appeal to them in a personal manner. Make sure to take advantage of being able to let the consumer hear and see what your product is all about.

Make it compelling
It goes without saying that in marketing you can’t sell anything unless you grab attention. With video there is more than just grabbing the consumer’s attention, though. You have to engage them and make them want to sit and watch the whole video.

Think hard about how your video is presented
You need to consider things like how big the screen is and how loud the sound is. You also should consider if the video with automatically play or if the consumer needs to initiate it. These can be important factors in how successful your video marketing is.

Reuse old video to make something new
Do not throw out old video footage. Save everything you do. You may be able to revamp it into a whole new video that turns into an amazing sales tool.

Keep your video professional
Nothing does more to turn off a consumer than a bad quality video. You want to present your video in a professional way that tells the consumer that you are a professional and not some novice trying to sell junk. Your video is representative of you and your product, so keep it professional.

Do not overwhelm the consumer
While you want to provide a good overview of your product, you do not want to throw so much information at the consumer that they tune it out. Keep it simple and stick to the basic facts for the best presentation that won’t chase away the consumer.

Tailor the video to your target market
You need to always keep the consumer in mind when creating your video. Do not use complex language that your target market would not understand. At the same time do not talk down to them or otherwise treat them in a way that is not appropriate for the market you are in.

Get creative
While you want to keep your video simple, you still want it to be exciting. Get creative and come up with ideas and slants that will sell your product in a compelling way. You want to present a video that is going to be fun to watch. Think outside of the box.

Place it wisely
Where you place your video on your website can mean the difference between success and failure. You want to make sure that you put it where it will be seen. It should get prominent placement.

Stick with one basic message
You want to make the video very precise. You need to find a message and create the video around that one message. Nothing will confuse the consumer more than a video with multiple messages. You can make other videos with different messages, but it is important that each video has only one message.

Do not forget to edit
I am sure that anything you write gets edited. The same needs to be done with video. You need to watch it and make sure it flows and makes sense. You need to make sure that it comes across the way you wanted and that it is overall a good video that people would want to watch.

Test your video
You want to try out your video and keep tabs on how well it is doing. You will need to come up with testing methods that allow you to see if consumers are watching it all the way through, getting enough information from it, enjoying it and most importantly, that it is influencing sales.

Give options to the consumer
The consumer should be able to fast forward, rewind and adjust the sound on the video. You want to give the consumer these options so they can feel somewhat in control. Additionally, you want the consumer to be able to replay the video and adjust the sound so they can hear it good.

Change your video on occasion
You should have a few different videos to present. You want to try out different videos by changing them from time to time. You may find that one video out performs the others by doing this.

Choose the images and people in your video carefully
You have to always keep in mind that this video is representing you and your company. Make sure that images and people you use are pleasant and professional. Also you want pleasant images and people because that is what people will be most interested in watching.

Get ideas from commercials
Television commercials are amazing sales tools. You can use ideas form these creative advertising spots to help you develop a good video. You can get some amazing ideas that other company’s pay top dollar to advertising executives to create.

Try to keep costs low
Creating a video has gotten more cost efficient with all the tools available to the average business person, but you still need to be careful. It is easy to get carried away and end up blowing your whole marketing budget on making a video.

Scope out other internet videos
You can get a lot of ideas online from others who are using videos to sell their products. Look at top ranked websites and see what they are doing to drive in sales.

Understand the power of video
Video is a very powerful tool that has the ability to really boost your traffic and sales. Make sure that you see everything that video is capable of doing for you.

Use emotion
One of the greatest things about video is you can finally convey emotion to your consumer. Part of selling is a passion for the product and you can really get this across in video.

Take full advantage of all the attention you get
When you add a video to your website you will be getting more traffic and you need to capitalize on it. Make sure you website is up to par and can turn visitors into sales.

Keep it simple
Keep everything simple and do not abandon everything you already know about creating online content. Follow the same rules you did when creating your website.

Don’t over sell
You do not want to push customers away by being too much of a sales person. Avoid the desire to yell out about the great price and to tell the consumer they must buy. Don’t be pushy, be persuasive.

Show, not tell
One of the best things about video is you can show the consumer why they should buy instead of telling them. There is a lot of power behind showing instead of telling.

I hope these tips help you in your video marketing efforsts!

You have a choice so, make it a better than terrific day!

To succeed in an online business, you need many elements:

-    Domain Name
-    Dedicated Web Hosting
-    Reliable Autoresponders
-    A Consistent Flow Of Traffic
-    Convincing Sales Copy
-    Etc.

Regarding the traffic element mentioned above, this is critically important to your online success.  Without traffic coming to your website, it won’t matter if you have any or all of the other elements, as no one will know about your website and learn of your product offer.

However, there is a specific type of traffic that will greatly increase your chances at online success, and that type of traffic is known as “targeted traffic.”

Targeted traffic is where the traffic that comes to your web page is interested in your product offer from the moment he/she arrives at your web page.  Conversely, “untargeted traffic” is where the traffic that comes to your web page is not interested in your product offer from the time he/she arrives at your web page.

Naturally, it will be much easier to convert targeted traffic into buyers than it would converting untargeted traffic into buyers.  Targeted traffic will have an initial interest in a product or service you are offering; they may even have come to your website because they were specifically looking for something similar to what you are offering.

Untargeted traffic will likely have just stumbled onto your website by accident, perhaps confusing your domain name with something else they were looking for or thinking your website would be about something else.  When they get to your web page, they will likely leave just as quickly because the subject matter you are dealing with does not interest them.

Web Traffic The term web traffic refers to the amount of data being sent and being received by a web site. Web Traffic is directly proportional to the number of visitors that visit that website and how many pages of the website they visit. To know which sites are popular and what pages on a particular site are viewed more number of times, web tracking is used. By using web tracking, many trends and surfing habits of the users are also known. There are numerous techniques used to collect this data which is then used to provide structure to sites. It can also indicate where the security problems lie. Every website wants increased web traffic and they use several methods to increase the web traffic including Search Engine Optimization or SEO. When a visitor comes to a site, it is counted as one hit. On more useful clicks made by the visitor and opening more pages, the number of hits increases. 'Hits per second' is a very useful measure of web traffic. Every web server automatically generates a list of all web pages served by it and keeps them in a server log file. Another technique for measuring web traffic is called packet sniffing. While monitoring web traffic, two things are measured; the number of visitors coming to the site and the number of pages accessed while still being in the same web site. Also measure is the average duration of visit on every page, most and least popular pages, timings when the web traffic is least and most, the paths through which the visitors reach the website and more. By having the knowledge of the sites that act as referrers to the website, marketing efforts can be targeted and also commissions can be paid to those sites accordingly. To increase web traffic, a website has to be placed in search engines through advertising, including bulk e-mail, pop-up ads and in-page advertisements. Non-internet based advertising can also be used for increasing the web traffic. These days SEO has become a necessity. Almost everyone uses Google, Yahoo or some other search engine to find what they are looking for. What are the pages that we usually click on? These are the pages that come on the first page of the search results. What about thousands or millions of other pages that the search engine lists for us? They go unnoticed. Through unpaid engines, the traffic that reaches a website is called 'organic traffic'. There are some guidelines that need to be followed, use of certain keywords that give your website a good listing. Major search engines provide the facility for the websites to register with them and while this is a good way to improve your listing position, there is a lot of competition. These websites use crawlers or spiders-programs that 'crawl' through your entire website, once you are registered. They traverse through all the internal links available in your web site, collect all the information about what your website is all about and then store it appropriately in their database. This is how we get the results sorted by relevance when we search for any word. There is also some natural traffic that comes to a website due to its very obvious name. Examples are shoes.com, porn.com, flowers.com, eloans.com etc. These names are so easy to remember that they do not need search engine to be highlighted. Therefore they are also sold for huge amounts. Many people have registered common names and have sold them later in exchange of big profits. Directing web traffic to your site is almost an art form and if properly done, can generate enormous revenue for your business.
