It is very
common among the online marketers to hear the statement: Money is in the list.
The best way to get this list is to generate enough traffic, capture this
traffic through your website and make sure you turn the members of this list to
your customers. This of course, is the simple way to make money online. There
are many way to generate free website traffic but many of them are not really
available to the average lesser known marketers.
Joint
ventures are an excellent way to get tons of others to send you their traffic.
However, joint venture hangs upon relationships/ connections, and many of the
people with the most traffic have tons of the products to promote. Those who
own large lists are also approached about joint venture so often that they may
have commitments that extend out past six months.
If you do
have a large list, getting immediate traffic to your website can be as simple
as sending a compelling email list. It also takes time to build strong
relationships and trust with your list members.
Another one
of my favorite way to generate lots of free traffic is by creating inexpensive
products and then allowing others to sell it and keep 100% of the profit.
However, that does require a product on a really hot topic and you still have
to recruit affiliates.
You are also
giving away 100% of the money on the sales (sacrificing early profits), and your
goal here is not so much traffic but to build list. I do often do this by using
a script called Rapid Actions Profits, which deposits proceeds from the sale,
directly into my affiliates Paypal account while adding the new subscribers to
my list automatically.
However, for
generating traffic that is free, fast, and even long- term, I recommend
creating lots of content and putting it in the path of the search engines. In
fact, I often do this when I’m launching a new affiliate product. Here are the
down and dirty steps that I take. Read this Steps in Part 2.
