Marketing on the internet is something that a lot of newbies don’t know how to do. They become clueless about how to get their message spread across the internet, and they have no idea of how to get traffic. But luckily in today’s lesson, I’m going to show you some simple and easy ways that you can start getting more website traffic in a short period of time.
Getting website traffic is one of those subjects where it’s easy to get confused. One day you may hear about a traffic strategy that is the best, then another day you will hear somebody say they have the latest and greatest new traffic method, and then you will see some people promote a software tool that can get you incredible amounts of traffic and sales overnight. Personally, I don’t listen to any of this mess.
The best thing you can do for yourself when it comes to getting traffic is to make out a list of strategies to do, and implement them each and everyday. This way you’ll diversify your traffic, and will be getting people visiting your website from all corners of the earth. You should focus on traffic, and then provide a product or service to these people that will help you to monetize your website.
I want to share with you some of my favorite traffic strategies that you can put into use in your business today. In fact, here’s the first strategy that I have for you:
1) Podcasts
Podcasting is one of those strategies like video marketing. You can even start your own podcast blog with a free tool called “Feedburner”. But podcasts are nothing but MP3 audio files that delivers information on a particular topic. You will want to submit your podcasts to all of the major podcast directories online – especially iTunes.
iTunes is the largest and most familiar podcast directory. All of the celebrities submit their podcasts there. In your podcast, you will want to state your website information at the beginning of the podcast, and also at the end. In between the promotion time, you will want to deliver some excellent information that will make people want to come back for more.
But podcasts aren’t the only free traffic strategy that you can use. Here’s another one:
2) Joint ventures
A joint venture is an alliance of 2 companies who come together to help each other make money. Joint ventures are typically profitable, but if you have an affiliate program, you will want to offer a higher commission to your joint venture partner. It’s the least that you can do if they’re giving you access to their list or their product.
Joint ventures happen all the time online, and there are even special websites designed for people who are looking to strike up a JV deal. You should find these special websites and join them… you never know who will be a match for your product, service, or list.
