Today I’m going to share with you how I Get Traffic To My Site. There are many ways to do this, and I have tried a whole bunch of them. You can use article marketing. This is where you write articles about something that is related to your site, and you put a bio and a link to your site in the resource box at the end of the article. If it is good and catchy, you will get more hits. Social Network Sites are a good form of traffic. There are way too many of those to mention, but some of the more popular ones are MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter. Email Marketing is a really good way to get traffic. Traffic Exchanges is a fast way to get your site in front of lots of people. Is how they work is by you looking at other peoples sites, they in turn look at yours. I think it depends on what your site is about, on whether or not an exchange would work for you or not. Text Sites, Safelists, and many more. Getting Backlinks is an excellent way to improve your traffic. There are many programs that have taught me how to Get Traffic To My Site, and was an awesome training.
Today I want to give you some tips about “How to make money online fast”. There are many ways to make money online, but to make it fast is a whole different arena. There are many (Paid To Click) PTC, and (Paid To Read) PTR programs. They claim to make you money imediately, and of course they do, like about a penny or two. So, that probably would not be what most of you would be interested in. There is a whole bunch of information online about it, just do a search for what you would be interested in and expand from there. I know a good book, (that is free) about “How to make money online fast” I really got excited about the information is this one, and it has proved to be a good resource for me. When you do find a good source for making money, then you will need Traffic. We all do “social networking”. Does MySpace or Facebook pay you? Well This “Social Network” does.
You don’t need to have a website to make money on the Internet. Here is a proven strategy to make money online without a website.
Steps
- Find Affiliate Product
- Find a product to promote where you make good commission on each sale. Generally, you will get the biggest commissions on digital products. Digital products are defined as something that is downloaded directly to a customer’s computer after purchasing, like electronic books or software. Since there is no extra cost per unit, no inventory and no shipping, the commissions are much greater than on regular “physical” goods. The most common commission on digital products is 50%.
- Sign up for an affiliate membership site. This will allow you to build a residual income and the retention rate is much higher than just selling a product once and getting paid.
- Sign up as a reseller (also called affiliate) for a product that looks the most appealing to you. After you sign up, you will get a unique affiliate link where you need to send people to purchase the product. Your affiliate link will have a special code that will tell the product owner that it’s you who referred the customer. The affiliate link code will allow your commissions to be tracked correctly and assigned to you.
- Get Domain Name
- Get a domain name to redirect to your affiliate link. A domain name is a .COM. You can get it for under $9 at GoDaddy.com. GoDaddy.com will allow you to redirect your domain name to your affiliate link at no extra cost. It’s important to note that unlike having your own website you don’t have to pay for hosting which is usually more expensive than buying and registering a domain name. Domain forwarding allows you to have a legitimate presence in the world of online affiliate marketing for only a few dollars! Some affiliates offer mentoring and training to assist you in your pursuit of making money online.
- So when someone types in your .COM domain in their browser, it will go to your affiliate link. The visitor will see the website with the product you promote, and the commissions will be tracked correctly.
- The reason why you need a domain name is that it’s memorable and it makes you look more trustworthy. Affiliate links tend to be too long and arouse suspicion. For example, most people would rather click on the link bestwidgets.com as opposed to abcwidgets.com?reseller=john
- A domain name will make your affiliate link look like it’s your own website. So basically, you will have a product to promote and a website to send people to and get commissions – without really having your own website.
- Get Traffic
- In order to make sales, you need to get visitors to your domain name (which will forward them to the website of the product that you resell). You can pay for advertising and hope that your profit will be greater than advertising cost, or you can use free ways to generate traffic.
- The most effective way to get free targeted visitors to your domain name is by writing and submitting articles. You can write short articles on the topic related to the product that you promote. At the end of the article, you include your author bio and your domain name link.
- You will then submit your articles to various websites, and allow them to publish your articles as long as your link is included. Your articles will get published in many places on the Internet, and will be advertising your affiliate link at no cost to you whatsoever. People will read your articles, like what you have to say and click on your domain name link ready to buy.
- Once you start getting regular sales from your articles, you can go back to step 1 and find another product to promote using this strategy. After a while, you will build up a nice source of Internet income – without even having a website.
