Driving Red Hot Targeted Traffic To Your Website In 10 Days
By admin | July 30, 2007
Over the next coming days, I am going to detail how to drive Red Hot TARGETED traffic to your website in 10 days, all for less that $200. You can of course use these strategies for your network marketing website or any other online business that you have.
Day 1: Business Plan and The Importance of Targeted Traffic
It has been said many times.
Those who fail to plan, plan to fail.
Making a good and detailed outline of the steps that should be taken, the order in which they should be taken and the expected cost of each is the way to get from Point A (zero traffic) to Point B (a lot of red hot traffic).
Some people will tell you that any traffic is good traffic but they are the ones who are most likely trying to sell you something you don’t need. The fact is that just any old kind of traffic is just about useless.
The only good traffic is targeted traffic. The kind of traffic that you need on your website is the people who have their credit cards at the ready and are actually looking to buy what you are selling.
Traffic that passes through your website while on the way to something totally unrelated to the topic of your website or those who just happen to surf by aren’t going to be making a purchase. They aren’t even going to be opting in to your mailing list. It’s better to have 10 potential customers visit your website than a 1000 people who are not the least bit interested in what you are selling.
Therefore: The plan that you will be making is for the purpose of getting TARGETED traffic to your website… not just traffic. You want this traffic to actually be looking for products like yours to buy. You don’t want people who are looking for free similar products and you aren’t looking for people who aren’t interested in or can’t use your product.
So how exactly are you going to go after this targeted traffic? Once you are ready to start actually going after the traffic, you will need to locate the people who are your very best potential product buyer prospects. So you get the attention of these people by:
1. Posting advertisements for your product where potential customers can find the ads.
2. Writing articles about how your product can make your potential customer’s lives better, solve their problems, make them feel better, look better, have more fun, or provide the information that they are looking for.
3. Finding the blogs and forums where your best prospects are gathered and are discussing a subject that is related to the whatchamacallits that you are selling.
4. Making it really easy for these potential customers to find you and your website by having links appear in as many places on the Internet as you can possibly find.
5. Capturing names and addresses of customers and potential customers who do visit your website so that you can entice them to make return visits and do so very often.
6. Using the list that you build to your greatest advantage!
Okay those are excellent goals and they are certainly aimed at the traffic that you most want to attract to your website. You still need, however, a detailed plan of just how you are going to accomplish these targeted traffic goals that you have set for yourself.
Step 1: Make a plan. That is what you are doing right now.
Step 2: The next step is to get an autoresponder and get opt-in boxes set up on your website. Without an autoresponder you have no way of capturing the names and email addresses of your website visitors. You will also have to offer enough of an incentive to encourage people to sign into your mailing list. This isn’t all that easy. People do not readily give up their information, so the incentive that you offer must be very enticing. We will discuss this in more depth later. The cost of an autoresponder is about $20 and the cost of the incentive varies but let’s say you can get one for $20. We’ve got $160 left.
Step 3: You will write and submit articles to article banks so that they can be reproduced by other website owners and E-zine publishers. Cost for this is $0.
Step 4: Write and place PPC advertisements. (Google, Yahoo, etc.) Cost $80 (you will set a $8 per day limit)
Step 5: Register with Clickbank and submit an affiliate program for your product. Cost $49 ( We still have $31 left.)
Step 6: Find blogs and forums that are related to your product and start posting. Cost $0
Step 7: Place E-zine advertisements. Cost $30. (Hey…you have a dollar left!)
Step 8: Find link exchange partners. Cost $0
Step 9: Do a press release announcing your product. Cost $0
Step 10: Make a plan for continuing to grow and thrive. Cost $0
By employing the methods that have been outlined above, you will be building targeted traffic for your website. You will be placing advertisements where your best prospects will see them and even be putting yourself in direct communication with them.
As another advantage, which you most likely haven’t even thought of, you are going to begin establishing yourself as an expert…a guru…in your field and that is absolutely invaluable in the world of Internet marketing in whatever form the marketing takes. You will also be increasing your value as a joint venture partner in the eyes of other marketers.
Remember that you are going after targeted traffic…not just garden variety traffic. You want the people to visit your website who are planning on buying what you are selling from somebody and you want that somebody to be you.
We are not going to take any ill-advised shortcuts and we are going to work hard but in ten days you are going to see a dramatic improvement in the targeted traffic on your website. All of the steps that we are going to take may not come to fruition in 10 days but they will be out there waiting to come to fruition. You will have laid a solid foundation that will product red-hot targeted traffic…and it won’t just last for a brief time. By continuing to use the methods and techniques that you will learn, you will continue to drive this targeted traffic to your website for years to come.
In day 2, I am going to discuss Autoresponders and finding incentives for Opt-In Lists.
