Introduction

If you want to stand out in the affiliate marketplace, maximize your income quickly while building a list of ultra-targeted, insanely loyal customers, then you will want to read every word in this special report. You see, many new affiliate marketers get it all wrong. They complicate the process of turning prospects into customers by failing to connect, entice, and funnel their traffic in a way that converts.

And that’s what it’s all about, right? As an affiliate marketer, your main objective is to warm up a customer base and turn those prospects into buyers. And not just buyers who will purchase products through your affiliate links, but customers who will turn to you time and time again, when making the decision to purchase.

The great news is that it’s easier to do than you may think.

There are a couple of incredibly powerful strategies that can change the way you promote products so that you are instantly maximizing not only your outreach, but your bottom line. Doing this will catapult your efforts, and land you at the top of the affiliate leaderboards.

And that’s what this report was designed to do – it will teach you exactly how to go from new (or even intermediate) affiliate marketer to super affiliate in just a matter of a few short days.

So, without further delay, let me show you how you can break through the prospect-to-customer barrier and generate unstoppable sales, 24-7 – all without having to spend a lot of time, or money building sustainable affiliate campaigns.

Are you ready to absolutely dominate the leaderboards and see your name at the very top?

Good! Then let’s get started!

Connect, Entice, Convert

When it comes to turning a prospect into a customer, there are 3 important steps in the process:

Connect, Entice and Convert.

Here’s exactly what I mean:

Connecting with your target audience means much more than simply getting them onto your mailing list, or funneling them to your website or sales system. It also requires more than just a couple of quick emails sent out through an autoresponder sequence.

The top affiliate marketers – every one of them – all have one thing in common: they know exactly how to connect with their audience on a personal level, and they’re willing to go the extra distance – further than the competition does.

That doesn’t mean they spend hours of their time crafting personalized emails, or doing the back-breaking work of one-on-one conditioning. You can still easily connect with your target audience in a way that demonstrates your commitment to them without having to sacrifice every second of your spare time catering to individuals with a thousand questions or concerns.

It all begins with how you meet your prospect. This means that every element in your sales system needs to be tweaked so that it speaks directly to your target audience and demonstrates clear value.

From your landing page, squeeze page, sales page (if you sell products yourself), to your email campaigns, you need to know who your demographic is so that you can create compelling content that not only is share-worthy, but speaks to your market as though you are a friend guiding them every step of the way through every purchase decision they make.

You see, positioning yourself as someone who is looking out for your customer will set you head and shoulders above the competition. You know the kind of affiliates I’m talking about – the ones who shovel dozens of emails into the faces of their audiences with little regard to whether the products or services they are promoting will ever improve the lives of their prospects.

You’ve probably been on several lists of affiliates just like that, and if you’re anything like me, you couldn’t get off those email lists fast enough.

They come across as hard sellers, rugged marketers who are only looking out for one person: themselves. And this becomes crystal clear to anyone who follows their methods long enough. That’s why they have to work so hard to constantly recruit new customers! Because they quickly burn their lists out and are forced to rebuild time and time again.

Even brand new customers who may not be as savvy with Internet Marketing tactics will quickly discover that these affiliate marketers don’t have their back and will ultimately abandon them.

Don’t be that kind of affiliate marketer. Instead, look for ways to design your emails and landing pages around what best serves your prospects. Speak their language, touch down on what’s most important to them and above all else, offer them incredible value. Earn their trust, and you’ll earn their loyalty.

And that’s the ultimate connection that you want to make.

Enticing your prospect involves knowing what makes them tick, what their most interested in, and what they are looking for. Offer that to them and you’ll break through all barriers and earn that commission time and time again. We’ll talk more about the easiest ways of enticing prospects and winning that sale in just a few minutes.

Converting a prospect into a customer happens automatically when you’ve connected and enticed. If you’ve done your job at earning trust, and persuading that prospect that you have exactly what they need to improve their life in some way, you’ll see an immediate increase in conversion rates across the board.

Bribe Your Way To The Bank

When we talk about bribing prospects, we don’t mean that you offer something that’s too good to be true and then fail to deliver. We also aren’t talking about compensating them for purchasing through your affiliate link in a way that takes money out of your pocket.

On the contrary, we are talking about “ethical bribery”, where you offer your prospects additional value – for free – just for purchasing through your link.

So, what kind of ethical bribes will work for your market?

It all comes down to the kind of products you are promoting, and how you can best tie your bonus product into an existing sales funnel. For example, if you are promoting a course that teaches people how to build mailing lists, you could create a series of squeeze page templates that are offered as a bonus product. This kind of bonus ultimately extends the value of their purchase, provides a done-for-you template that eliminates their workload, and simplifies the process.

It’s a direct tie-in to the main product you are promoting without taking away from what that product offers.

This also means that you never want to create a component that is already part of the main package that you’re promoting. Always strive to offer something not already included, as well as a bonus item that enhances the value.

You want the benefit to be clear to anyone who is considering purchasing through your links, letting them know why they’re making a smart decision by buying through you.

Your bonus offer should always be exclusive to your own marketing and limited in nature, meaning that you offer it only to the audience you are targeting for each individual product. While you could offer the same bonus to multiple groups of people, it’ll decrease its perceived value if you have any sort of cross-over within segments of your audience.

This means that if you want to repurpose the bonus package so that you can offer it within multiple campaigns, you should consider adding something different to the offer so that it isn’t exactly the same. Make it unique in some way – whether that comes from adding a bit more value, an extra report or template, or a component that isn’t included anywhere else, the idea is to create high-value bonus offers that your audience doesn’t already have, and won’t see from another affiliate marketer.

That way, if you end up promoting the same bonus to someone who has already received it from a previous purchase, they are still getting something new that they haven’t already received from you. In the next chapter, we’ll look at the kinds of bonuses you should consider when working on your promotional campaign, and what is best suited for different markets.

Creating Killer Bonus Content

The one thing that many new affiliate marketers struggle with is exactly what kind of bonus content will entice and convert prospects into becoming customers.

The truth is, the better you know your market, the easier it will be to create bonus products that appeal to the masses. There’s no getting around it; you should know what they are most interested in so you can capitalize on that when creating your bonus or auxiliary components. So, begin by researching your niche. Look for what kind of products are actively being sold, and are still in demand, and then create a bonus package around that medium.

Scour niche-related forums, explore social media, as well as your favorite online marketplaces (primarily the ones you plan to use within your affiliate marketing campaigns) such as JVZoo.com or ClickBank.com.

For example, if you are in the weight loss niche and are promoting a fitness membership site that provides videos, work-outs and healthy eating meal plans, consider creating a short recipe booklet that offers additional recipes for that specific crowd (low-carb, LCHF, keto, etc.). The key is to ensure your bonus offer extends the value of the product you are promoting, while not competing with it.

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Coupons

In today’s economy, everyone is looking to save money and snag a great deal. Consider offering coupons on other products or services in your niche. And you don’t have to offer them to everyone. Instead, consider creating special coupons for early birds or fast-action takers. Not only will this reward those who act quickly, but it will implement a sense of urgency into your offer.

Loyalty Program

Some of the top affiliate marketers have created loyalty programs that acknowledges repeat customers and rewards them for their continued business. You could easily set something like this up within your

affiliate marketing campaigns easily just by keeping a database of customers who have proven to have purchased via your links in the past. Send them out an email after so many purchases and offer them something special and unique to the program.

Introduction

Imagine how much money you could make if you could set up a fullystocked e-commerce store that features thousands of products without having to invest any money upfront, worry about inventory, or shipping?

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, then drop shipping is exactly what you’ve been looking for.

With drop shipping, most of the heavy-lifting has been done for you. In fact, not only is it one of the easiest business formats to get involved in, but it’s also one of the lowest-cost startup solutions you’ll ever find. With drop shipping:

1. You don’t need to invest any money upfront for inventory. Your customer pays you for their order, and then you submit that request to the drop shipper who takes care of everything else!

2. You don’t have to worry about tedious, time-consuming paperwork like you do when buying wholesale. Most wholesalers require you to have paperwork such as articles of incorporation, a business license, and/or a tax ID number, but drop shippers do not.

3. You don’t need to take up space in your home or office, or invest in warehouse space to store your inventory because you’ll never have to worry about any of that! Your drop shipper handles everything.

4. You don’t have to worry about packing and shipping products, because none of that is your responsibility! You simply forward the orders received and the rest is out of your hands.

Of course, like anything, drop shipping can have a few downsides, as well. For example, you must depend on the drop shipping company to send out the correct item, package it carefully, send it quickly, and make sure the customer is satisfied.

Fortunately, there are ways to mitigate, and in many cases, eliminate most of these issues, and that is exactly what we are going to focus on in this special report.

So, let’s get started!

Avoiding Scams

Before we dive into some of the important components of becoming a successful drop shipper, let’s talk about a few things you need to be aware of so you can avoid becoming a victim of a drop shipping scam. Upfront payments or monthly fees:

You’ll want to avoid any drop shipping company or opportunity that requires monthly fees or any upfront payment. These opportunities typically provide little value because they rely on the incoming monthly payments as their main source of income rather than focusing on helping you connect customers with high-quality products. Profit Margins:

Pay attention to how your drop shipper determines product pricing. In order to make money you’ll want to look for products that are priced much lower than retail value otherwise you’ll struggle to generate enough of a profit for it to be worth your while.

Consider their return policy:

Make sure that you thoroughly research any drop shipping company you are considering and pay special attention to their return policy. You want to be sure that the company you choose allows for product returns because otherwise, you’ll be responsible for handling those return requests.

There’s a very-detailed article on how to choose a professional drop ship company that will work best for you at:

https://dropshippulse.com/drop-shipping-business-model-right-foryou/ I suggest you take a few minutes to read the information found on Drop Ship Pulse and bookmark it for future reference. They offer a ton of free information on getting started in drop shipping, including a list of drop ship directories and aggregators so you can get started quickly. Here’s the link to their main page: https://www.DropShipPulse.com

Reducing Returns

Returns are probably the biggest problem you will ever face with drop shipping, because many drop shippers either don’t accept returns, take a long time to ship items, or require you to pay for another item to ship to the customer instead of accepting the item back and then sending out a replacement.

There are a few ways to combat this, and we’re going to talk about some of the best methods for reducing returns.

What Causes Returns

There are three main reasons people return items. There may be occasional situations that fall outside these three main areas, but these situations will likely be quite rare, so we are going to focus only on the most common causes.

Dropshipping Speed Bumps: Special Report 11

1. Buyer error. This happens when buyers don’t read the description properly, choose the wrong size or color, etc. Your supplier probably won’t accept refunds due to buyer error, so it’s important to have a clear policy in place for situations such as these.

It’s a good idea to accept all returns, because this will create loyal buyers, but you may want to charge your customer for the return shipping on the item since it wasn’t your fault they made a mistake.

2. Description error. If there is an error in the description, it is ultimately your fault. Even if the description came straight from the supplier, it is up to you as the owner of your website to check all descriptions for accuracy before publishing an item for sale. So if a buyer receives the wrong item, always accept responsibility, even if you feel it isn’t your fault.

3. Damaged or defective item. Most suppliers will accept returns for damaged or defective merchandise. If they don’t, you shouldn’t be working with them. When you receive a complaint about damaged or defective merchandise, don’t ask the customer to pay any sort of shipping fees, and make the return as easy as you possibly can.

Returns are going to happen, no matter what steps you take. They’re just a fact of doing business. But there are ways to reduce returns, and the key is looking at the three reasons people typically return merchandise, and how to mitigate those as much as possible. Now, let’s move on to the next section, which is where we will start looking at simple ways to reduce returns.

Choosing the Right Supplier

It’s especially important to choose the right drop shipping company right from the start in order to make everything go as smoothly as possible. So, let’s talk about some ways to choose the best supplier for your needs. Choosing the right company is probably the single most important thing you can do to make your business run as smoothly as possible, especially when it comes to returns.

First, always use a supplier in your home country, if possible. There may be times when this isn’t a possibility, because the suppliers in your company may be overpriced, have certain restrictions, won’t ship to other countries, or there may not be a supplier that has what you need in your country.

If you use a supplier in China, for example, shipping times will be longer and there may be more mistakes in the ordering process. But Chinese companies often have drastically lower prices than other suppliers, which can often outweigh those occasional issues.

If you must use an overseas supplier, be sure they have a good reputation, have reasonable shipping costs to the countries you want to do business in, and have a good return policy.

If you cannot find information about a company online, be sure to place a few test orders and have them sent to your address to be certain the orders are fulfilled correctly, that shipping costs aren’t too high, and that your order arrives in a timely fashion.

Recharge Your Body: How to Overcome Fatigue and Get Your Life Back

Many people are walking around, driving, going to work and living their lives in a permanent state of fatigue. Sometimes people are tired for unexplained health reasons, but often there are very typical reasons for fatigue which include lack of regular sleep, poor diet, and not getting enough exercise. Fatigue can be very frustrating and even disabling due to feeling as if you cannot get things done or enjoy your downtime.

In this report, we’re going to look at different ways to combat and overcome fatigue so that you can get your life back. There is no reason to be tired all the time. It’s not a normal state of being in healthy people. If you use all these ideas there is no doubt that you’re going to be on your way to not just getting over fatigue, but also becoming an energetic, happy, recharged individual who can accomplish more than you ever thought you could.

Why You Feel Exhausted Even on Your Best Days

Before we get into the meat of getting recharged, let’s address the fact that sometimes medical issues will play an important role in your energy levels. These can drag you down no matter how well you do on any given day.

If you are suffering from unexplained exhaustion, it’s important that you seek medical answers first. Go to your doctor and ask him/her to give you a complete blood work-up to check all your vitamin and hormone levels, plus test you for common diseases that cause exhaustion like sleep apnea. Alternatively, you may be taking medication for an illness and one of the side effects is tiredness. If you feel tired after taking the medication for two weeks, ask your doctor if there are alternatives.

The following conditions can easily be tested for and acknowledged by your primary care doctor through typical blood tests.

Anemia

This medical condition is characterized by paleness, fatigue, racing heart, and sometimes even upper left quadrant abdominal pain. If a person has anemia their red blood cell count (known as hemoglobin) is too low. If hemoglobin gets too low, it can cause severe fatigue and other problems as well. For men, hemoglobin levels less than 13.5 grams per 100 ml and for women, hemoglobin less than 12.0 grams per 100 ml is too low.

Other Vitamin Deficiencies

Besides low iron, if you are short on vitamins D3 or B12 you may feel severely fatigued and even anxious, which can cause you to lose sleep - thus making you feel even more tired all day long. Even though you can buy D3 and B12 (with folate) to help with this issue, it is still best to get a blood test to rule out anything serious before starting with treatment.

Thyroid Disease

Whether you’re hypothyroid (slow) or hyperthyroid (fast), you will suffer from fatigue. Having said that, hypothyroidism tends to cause you to feel tired, sluggish, and even depressed, while hyperthyroidism tends to make people feel anxious, restless, irritable and then contribute to fatigue due to lack of sleep. If you are feeling tired even if you have bursts of energy, ask your doctor to test your thyroid levels to be on the safe side.

Diabetes

One of the biggest first indications of diabetes is fatigue. Even though most people think diabetes only affects overweight people, many people who appear healthy still wind up with type II diabetes.

If you already know you have diabetes since birth and are often tired, talk to your doctor about this. Today, even older people are being diagnosed with type I diabetes, so the old rules don’t fit anymore. You can feel fatigued whether your blood sugar is high or low; if it’s off you will feel the effects. That’s why it’s so important to talk to your doctor to try to manage your disease through medication, diet, exercise, and regular sleep.

Depression and Anxiety

While there can be underlying causes of depression and anxiety such as anemia and other vitamin and mineral deficiencies, sometimes people have these conditions for other or even unknown reasons. If you’ve checked everything and nothing shows up, talk to a professional about whether you suffer from depression or anxiety (or both). Anxiety causes fatigue by preventing a good night’s rest, and depression sometimes has the effect of making you want to sleep away your problems regardless of how much sleep you get.

Google Plus Money Making Tactics

How to Uncover A Profitable Market and Keywords

To start creating your Google Cash Site the very first thing you will need to do is to choose a market or niche to target and then we will need to find a keyword that can be monetized and most importantly profit from.

Our Google Cash Site will be based around a single long tailed keyword. By long tailed keyword I mean a phrase that someone would type into the Google search engine that contains at least 3 or more words and no less.

The main reason our site is going to rank on the 1st page of Google for that search term is because our well written website will be laser targeted around that keyword.

And remember with the coming methods you will know exactly how many people are searching for that exact keyword.

How to Uncover a Profitable Market/Niche you can monetize

There are a number of ways to find a profitable Market or Niche that is easy to monetize.

The best way to do this is to put yourself in the shoes of the potential searcher. For example: When you want to buy a TV or Computer you would probably go to your local store but if you were searching for a way to fix a sexual issue or a personal issue most people would be too shy to go to their local store and ask for a solution so they then turn to the internet to search for an answer to their problem. These markets are going to be the best ones to try and target.

One tried and tested method to find a good market is to look on sites like yahoo answers and ask.com both of these plus many others are great sources to find markets to target. Just look at the common questions that people are asking and list some of these down, this will show you what people are searching for online and most importantly what they are obviously having trouble finding the answers or solutions they require.

Sometimes the best way is to target a market or niche that interests you or you have experience in.

Some good Niches I have targeted that have been profitable for me are:

Cell Spying Reverse number look up Dating Relationships Weight Loss Wedding planning Sexual issues Personal Development
These are just a handful of niches that I have used in the past to help get your brain ticking over. Try to think outside the box and really get yourself lost in the shoes of others as there are thousands and thousands of different Niches you can target.

How to Find a Product to Promote

After you establish what niche you wish to target you will need to be sure there are products in that niche that you can promote.

Most people will tell you to go straight to Clickbank and although Clickbank is great I find with everyone using this service the potential keywords have been all but used. I will use Clickbank though if I can’t find a product to promote anywhere else only after I have exhausted the other options below.

I prefer to use a few different places to search for products. If you type affiliate programs into the Google search bar you will notice there are a heap of different market places for you to choose from. I personally have tried quite a number of different affiliate networks but the main two that I use are called Avangate and Plimus, you can get to Plimus by going to www.plimus.com and to get to Avangate go to www.avangate.com. There are others I use like www.paydot.com , www.amazon.com for physical products and www.tbtrack.com as well as www.clicksure.com but never forget the good old www.clickbank.com.

All of the above programs are free to join and I will show you how to do this in video 1. Most just require you to fill in a simple registration form to get started. I will also show you how to choose a good product that converts well. If you choose a product that has a low conversion rate you once again will waste a lot of time and effort creating a site that may rank in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd position on Google and get a lot of targeted visitors but in the end, you will get zero sales.

Rule of thumb – After you check out the products sales page make sure if you were looking for a similar product, would you buy it? If after checking it out and you personally feel you wouldn’t buy it then don’t promote it.

Introduction:

Welcome and thank you for purchasing the Easy List Hacks. This is a guide filled with tips and tricks for optimizing and squeezing the most out of your email list. I’ll assume, you already have an email list of some sort. It doesn’t matter the size or the niche of your list, this guide will show you some simple tips and tricks as well as advance methods to bring out more money in your email list.

Before we get started, I want to say that I am just like most of you. I have failed and have given up on list building/email marketing many times. But one can only fail so many times before realizing the missing ingredients to finally succeeding and making money with email marketing.

Even with just a few thousand subscribers, I am now making a comfortable living by sending out promo offers to my email list. If you can grow a quality email list of 2000+ subscribers, you can certainly make a nice monthly income from your email list.

You see… when someone is on your list, you can continue to promote to this person over and over again. Let’s say in the span of 1 year, you send out over 200 email blasts to your list, and the average subscriber only buys 1 product from you at $5 each. Not everyone on your list will buy, but some may buy multiple times and even 5+ times in a year. But anyways, so you’re making an average of $5 per subscriber for a year. That’s about $10,000/year with just a list of 2000 subscribers, assuming you’ll lose some and gain some new subscribers along the way.

The Easy List Hacks you are about to learn are a compilation of tips and tricks from my years of email marketing failures and successes. One last thing, I use GetResponse (email marketing & autoresponder service), and so all of the screenshots of my email dashboards are from GetResponse.

ENJOY!

Hack #1: Fortune Favors The Brave!

One of the biggest mistakes I’ve learned after all these years of failing at email marketing is the fact that… I didn’t actually sell enough to my list. In other words, I was afraid to sell to them.

I didn’t want to come off as someone that just only spam my email list with affiliate offers from all over the place. I wanted to be the nice guy and build a good relationship, giving out free offers and tips almost all of the time.

With all of the focus on building a good relationship and giving away free tips, I never really tried hard enough to send out affiliate offers. Therefore, my list hardly made me any money. Then soon after, I would mail less and less, and finally just give up on my email list.

So here’s the main idea I want you to understand from my Hack #1 – Be Brave. The sole purpose of building an email list is to make money from your list. If you want to make money from your list, then you got to be brave and send out those promo emails. And you got to send out a LOT of promo emails to make you the big money!

I try to send out 5+ promo emails before sending out free tips or a free report of some sort. You want to spend most of your time and effort on crafting good promo emails to make you money rather than creating free reports all of the time to give out to your list at no charge.

I send out emails every 1-2 days. I want my list to be familiar with me. You do not want to mail once a week or once every few days, you will soon be forgotten to your subscribers this way.

You’re probably wondering… wouldn’t sending out too many promo emails cause the unsubscribe rate to go up?... Well of course, if you spam the heck out of your list with crappy irrelevant products all of the time, then you will lose a lot of subscribers.

But, if you promote relevant quality products to your list, they would actually be okay with it. Just trust me on this! Unsubscribe rate is just a part of email marketing.

My idea of promoting an offer to my list is that I am simply recommending something that can be useful to them. I don’t use the word “buy” or try to sound to aggressive in getting people to buy the product.

I simply recommend by saying something like this, “Hey, I came across ABC, it’s a brilliant way to XYZ, if you are interested, learn more here…”.

Below is a copy of one of my promo emails, this particular promotion made me a whopping $500+ in affiliate commission.

Hello, Out of the blue, a fellow warrior name Jonathan, just sent me a review copy of his $2000/day WSO called Elite Landing Page. At first, I didn't think much of it, since I’ve always built my own LP anyways. But then I was in for quite a surprise! The quality of the landing pages and the techniques used to drastically improve the conversion rates were absolutely astounding. NO KIDDING! Check Out John's Beautiful Salespage Here and You'll Instantly See Why His Landing Pages Converts Like Hot Cakes: ==> https://www.howtowebmaster.com/promo/elitelp.php The Entire Elite LP Course Contains: - 3 Ebooks covering different ways to use dynamic landing pages (PPC, PPV, Media Buying) - 3 Videos (step by step) - 3 Case studies (3 complete landing pages with dynamic scripts for each paid advertising venue) - Dynamic Landing Page checklist - 85 Landing pages - 25 squeeze pages If you're doing PPC, or use any kind of paid traffic, and want to take it to the next level with quality built landing pages, this is a very good LP course with case studies you can model after. ==> https://www.howtowebmaster.com/promo/elitelp.php Regards, -Leon Tran Look at how I simply just recommend this product and not trying too hard to sell anything. I didn’t tell my subscribers to click the link and buy, I told them to go check out the landing page and see how brilliantly it was created.

Lastly, I told

my readers to go view this product only if they are indeed interested. Again, this is so I don’t come off as selling too aggressively. Overall, always try to recommend quality products to your email list. This way, everyone wins: you make money, the seller is happy, and your subscriber is happy with purchasing a quality product. Be BRAVE! My fellow internet marketers! Do not be afraid of your list and send out those promo emails!

Introduction

Of all the things a successful online business owner needs, traffic is at the very top of the list.

But not just any traffic. What you’ll need in order to achieve success is targeted traffic. That means people who are seriously interested in whatever information, product, or service you happen to be promoting.

Fortunately, there are numerous ways in which to generate traffic. Some good. Some not so good. But if you handle them properly, any and all methods of gaining additional traffic can be beneficial.

For example, pay per click advertising is an excellent source of attracting highly and specifically targeted viewers. And the more you step up your pay per click campaigns, the more traffic you’ll receive.

In fact, there’s no end to the amount of traffic - laser targeted traffic - you can ultimately generate. Just keep picking the right keywords and funding the account.
On the free side of traffic generation, you have search engine optimization at the top of the list. It’s the most popular and widely used free method which can bring in hoards of viewers or a mere trickle, depending on the keyword or keywords chosen for web page optimization.

But when it comes to keyword SEO, quantity doesn’t always beat out quality. That mere trickle of viewers who respond to a certain “obscure” or less than competitive keyword might not be large in numbers but they’ll be extremely large with regard to how targeted they are.

Conceivably, you could get much better results from the 100-a-month trickle viewers than you would from 1000 viewers responding to some other keyword.

The point is, any targeted traffic - which means any viewer who is specifically interested in what you’re offering - will provide solid and positive results. Whether that equates to more subscribers signing up for your mailing list or more people purchasing your products or services, it still spells success.

Of course, pay per click and keyword SEO aren’t the only super stars in traffic generation. Another very effective method of gaining traffic is to write and distribute your own articles.

Just pick a topic, one that relates to what you’re promoting while at the same time is associated with a targeted keyword. Then write an article around that topic and include links that funnel people to the page or pages that contain information about any product or offer you mentioned in the article.

Other methods of traffic generation include…
·link popularity
·starting your own affiliate program
·posting on discussion boards
·posting comments on blogs
·creating and distributing free ebooks and software
·creating and distributing software utilities
·forming alliances with other business or product owners
·offering product testimonials and endorsements
·distributing a syndicated column
·making your blog or website content available through RSS

The list goes on and on. Just use your imagination, either to improvise on already established methods or to come up with your own creative ways of generating more traffic.

Of course, the best traffic methods are the ones you can set in motion once and still receive good results over an extended period of time… for weeks, months, or even years to come.

For example…

If you place a post on a discussion board, it will remain there indefinitely. Along with your signature file and/or reference to a specific URL address.

If you write an article and submit it to directories, it will be available for as long as those directories are in existence. Along with a link back to whatever page or pages you’ve chosen to mention within the article and resource box.

If you create a free distribution ebook or software utility, it can be distributed and passed around for as long as there’s a perceivable value. Along with advertising messages and links that lead to whatever you’re promoting as well as your primary website.

If you start your own affiliate program, you could have hundreds - if not thousands - of people promoting your products or services for you. Along with links back to a page on your main website.

And of course, each and every one of these methods would be driving targeted traffic on a regular and continuous basis. All because you set something in motion once.
Regardless of what methods you use, it’s always a good idea to implement the most powerful ones first. That would include keyword SEO, pay per click advertising, and writing and distributing your own articles.

Once you have those types of traffic generating methods solidly in place, start implementing the other methods. As many as you feel comfortable with.

But don’t stop at any point and time. Whenever you have the time to do so, keep adding traffic generation methods as well as increasing the volume of those that are already in place.
