Blogs Capture The Attention Of Free Traffic

The Internet has made it exceedingly easy for anyone to start a web log (blog) and use it to capture attention. Even teenagers and Fortune 500 companies have discovered the magic of writing a blog to attract attention and generate a consistent readership. 

Blogs are excellent vehicles for communicating news, keeping in touch with many people at one time, highlight your expertise, act as an introduction to a larger website, and keep fresh content constantly available to the search engines and everyone visiting your blog.

Familiarize Yourself With Blogs

If you've never actually done a blog, you will be surprised at how easy it is to set up an account. You can use any of the blogging portals out there like Wordpress.com or Blogger.com. They allow you to set up a free account and put up a blog simply by registering with them. They offer design templates that you can choose by clicking on your favorite design. 

They give you an administration panel that makes it easy to add features or remove them. It really is one of the simplest ways to start getting a web presence out there completely free! You don't pay for the account, the storage, or anything else.  In return, the site might put up some advertising on your blog, but when you're ready to take it up a notch, you can always pay to get that removed.

So, don't be intimidated by a lack of knowledge of computers or the Internet. You don't have to be technically talented at all to start a blog! Later, as you continue to use the blog, you may want to add pictures and videos, and that may take some learning, but it still is nothing to break out in a heavy sweat over.

Write Great Content

At first, all you will need to do to start generating traffic is to make sure that you have great content on your blog. Your blog should have a specific niche that you've researched and that can be sure to draw crowds. Many first-time bloggers make the mistake of using the blog as a personal diary, with random posts on various subjects. 

This may prove interesting to a few people, but it's not sufficient to draw traffic from the major search engines that like targeted content better. So, pick a niche, and develop interesting content around that niche.

Good informative content on your blog that provides beneficial solutions your readers can use and ideally see imediate positive results from using will do as much to build your traffic as all the SEO tricks in the book.  The key is not just getting them there but keeping them there and spreading the word that you are an expert in the niche.  Best of all, word of mouth generated traffic is free and the best kind of traffic you can get. 

So make sure you install and interface like AddTo http://www.addtobookmarks.com/ so your readers can easily add your blog to their favorit Social Bookmarking site. Those links are another powerful way to generate more free traffic.

Try to review your posts before publishing to make sure they are relatively free of misspellings and grammatical errors. Try to include titles, subheadings, bulleted lists, and white space to make the copy easy on the eye. Many readers do not want to come into a blog and see a single paragraph written in poor English, no matter how interesting the subject. It's just too hard to read.

Are You Brave Enough For A Litte Website Traffic Promotion?

You’ve applied all the usual rules of website traffic promotion, and you’re getting respectable results… But there’s a product launch (your first) you’ve got looming towards you, a couple of weeks or so from now. 

What you’d really like to do is create some buzz, and have people sitting up, ears attuned, when they hear your name or see your face.

You want them to know who you are. In fact, your whole campaign depends upon it!

If you’re outgoing to begin with, and don’t mind making a noisy splash, there’s one strategy you might enjoy trying…

You Don’t Have To Fall Out Of Your Limo

When comedienne Kathy Griffin arrived in England, nobody there knew her at all. She was quite aware of this, and came up with several strategies to change this, in advance.

So what did she do (after making sure the press would be there to see her arrive at her hotel?)  

She fell out of her limo – and reporters rushed to snap the newsworthy sight! 

I’m still not sure if she copied it from a movie, or TV – or if they copied her!  But the point is, for Griffin, this strategy work.  Newspapers and tabloids loved the shot, and the chance to poke fun at a celebrity – and by the time her first gig came around, she had:

Something to open with and talk about
Recognition and acceptance as a celebrity from most of the members of her audience

Now, you don’t have to fall out of your limo… but you can incite attention-getting buzz by thinking up an equally public way to guarantee you get your name in lights. (Exactly how, I’ll leave up to creative, outgoing you!)

Just make sure you pay attention to one crucial detail, and you can reap results as spectacular as Kathy Griffin did, on that occasion. 

And, depending what media-grabbing stunt you decide on, it can get you attention on:

  Twitter 
  YouTube
  Facebook
  Social Networking forums
  Your affiliate sites

Just make very sure your website and USP are firmly connected to it – and you’re sure to set your name in internet marketing lights!

4 Website Promotion Tips You Can Customize To Your Market

You’re always looking for website promotion tips to help you increase interest in – and visitors to – your website.

Here are 4 great website promotion tips you may not yet have tried…

1.  Create your own calendar of significant days coming up in your niche – and be sure to include offline events, as well as trade shows, marketing conferences and anniversaries.  Add these events to your sales funnel, and think up promotions, posts or social media campaigns you can initiate, at the perfect point in advance. 

For example, if everyone is going to Florida for the Big Bust-Out Bonanza conference, with 52 mega-stars from your industry scheduled to attend and present, set up interviews with as many of the mega-stars as you can. (Even if only one or two say “yes”, you can play it up to your list, social networks and forum buddies, telling them to spread the word.

2. Add that calendar in plain sight on your actual main blog or website – and people will get in the habit of visiting to cross-check dates and information, too. 

3. Add mini-press releases – ones about twice the size of a Twitter Post – in a Text Widget in your Sidebar… and keep them coming back for juicy news titbits too. (You can be your own personal Reuters service, on steroids!)

4. Give your updates and calendar watch a catchy, punchy title. 

Tweet about it and talk it up in casual Facebook conversations.  

Remember to create a buzz… so they’ll create buzz for you.

Follow it up, when the next Big Event Calendar day approaches, by announcing a related Product Launch – or give a Special Discount off products you’ve already created.

The truth is, you can not only increase site traffic with visitors who develop the habit of regularly dropping at your website – even if it’s only for your handy “market pulse” calendar – you can increase your sales, and web credibility too. 

It will get you in the habit of constantly thinking about promotion opportunities you can create. And doing that is the best website promotion tip I could give you!

What you need to succeed

We all want the best in life, but not all of us have the means or the direction to achieve this.Whether you want to supplement income, make a few extra dollars or are seriously looking for a way to create a fully supporting income of your own, the online income
concept is something everyone thinks about.

"Make millions while you sleep!”"Make $3,361 on auto pilot everyday!"“I earned $247,917 my first year online and so can you!”Sounds enticing, doesn't it? The internet is filled with sites making these promises to an audience eager to harness online income and make their living off the world wide web. Of course, contrary to the hype, the "road to success" requires work, perseverance and determination. 

But if you're willing to invest the time, this book is for you.While the internet is filled with ideas and suggestions (many of which are made to sound simple) I am focusing on a tried and true method that requires minimal time to grasp, minimal time to get operational and minimal money out of your pocket.The main ingredient I find missing in every book or newsletter I have ever read is the lack of informing the reader that, without an audience, you really haven't a prayer of success. Build it and they will come only works if they see you have built it.

For that reason and the numerous emails received on a daily basis I have written this book.This guide will start you almost immediately in obtaining a cash flow in record time.These are the same steps used by many successful marketers that never seem to remember how it all began or do not wish to divulge the information because if you"KNOW HOW," you don't need them, their products or services.

No matter whether you have a niche, product or service in mind I will guide you on a path that can have you earning and learning almost instantly. Many will tell you about the critical areas that are needed, but they never seem to set a plan that is effective in getting you there. I cover them all with a step by step system that will have you earning an online income.If you should choose at any time to change your niche or services, it doesn’t matter.This basic approach will build you any audience and the system will earn you money from your efforts - period.Let us look at some fact about the internet.

World Internet User Statistics average over 12 years, new online users:

Yearly = 178,709,864
Monthly = 14,892,488
Weekly = 3,436,728
Daily = 489,616

Statistics show us that on average 178+ million people come online as new internet users on an annual basis. That makes for 14+ million a month, 3+ million a week or a better example is almost 500 thousand a day. And according to a good many sources, more than 90% of all internet business start-ups end in failure within the first 3 months. 

And that number is all too accurate!

Yes of course, success is still seriously possible. There is the other 10% of people that do succeed. For them, success isn't by accident. 

And success isn’t just by chance. Success happens because of some very important actions in their approach.For that 10% success, happens because they learn about internet marketing and how it works. They have no expectation to get rich quick or be able to make a killing overnight and retire with all of the big expensive toys, or live in lavish surroundings in a matter of weeks. It simply does not happen in that way.

Here are some of the wrong ideas about the Internet:Most people seem to think that being a successful internet marketer is as easy as getting a website built and getting their own domain name or joining in on one of the ‘all done for you’ programs, and they could not be farther from reality. And what about the right mindset! 

The word “attitude” is important when thinking about internet marketing as a business. A good attitude or a good mindset does not always guarantee you success, but a bad attitude or a bad mindset can nearly always guarantee you failure.

Ways you can increase your possibility of success:

1. Working online is exactly that - work. You will need to research and learn, not only about marketing, but web design, traffic generation, SEO and more. Remember,the world wide web is information based, and anything you want answers to is available as long as you are willing to invest your time to learn. Yes, you can pay people to do many of these tasks for you, but if you do not have at least a basic understanding, then how do you know if you are getting what you are paying for?

2. Expect to work to achieve your goals. Never expect things to be as easy as set it and forget it. Most of the time things, are not as easy as they appear. Each successive step will require its own work, time and patience. As it happens, things don’t go right on the first try. Be willing to keep going again and again until you succeed.In the words of Thomas Edison:"Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time".

3. Do not fall for the get-rich-quick schemes or the ever popular "we do it all for you" pitches. The path through the internet is full of those who prey upon the ones who are looking for quick and easy ways to become rich. Most of these programs are simply ways for the other person to get rich quick from your money and all the effort you put into your own success.

The Audience
Before you can make any money online, you will need an audience. Why do I refer to subscribers as an audience? Easy - that is what selling is. Now I am not saying you are to portray yourself or your product or services as something deceitful. Quite the contrary - a good actor becomes the part. They live it, they not only see the truth of the character but are a part of it, and that is what makes them successful.You need to have value in what you offer and who you are, and show the value of the product or service. If you do it right, you will have that audience for life. I do want to dispel one myth. Remember the right attitude? No one has success if they think they must compete to succeed. The statistics clearly show that the supply of new marketers is abundant and equally available for all, so always approach with the idea of value and not competition.Below is a list of the tools you will need to start collecting this audience right away - today, tomorrow and beyond.

The Tools
Remember The Right Mindset?No one works online for free, and the right mindset is important. Look at everyday life...You require a roof over your head, food to eat, electricity, water, transportation and internet, just to name some. These are all tools we require for our way of life. So are the tools you will need to create an income online.The services that provide free hosting or free websites or free auto-responders are not free. They use all of your creative and promotional effort to promote their own agenda of income. This leads to not only driving away your business growth, but drowning your professional presence. You do not have to spend a fortune here, either. I will suggest quality services that do not deplete your bank account.

Domain
First step, get your own domain name. If you can secure 'your name,' you should .For example, I was able to register DavidRailey.com. You should see if you can get your 'own name' for a domain name. If not your name, then get the name of your business. Remember, this is how people will get to know 'you,' so choose your domain wisely. With the addition of so many extensions these days, you can also get very creative by playing off the extension. For example, a .info extension working off a folder could easily look like "YOURURLNAME.INFO/RMATION", "YOURURLNAMEIS.MOBI/LE" or something like "SUPER.NINJA/PRODUCTS." Just use your imagination for domain extensions and folder names. The cost is roughly about 10 dollars per year.If you do not have a domain, you can find suggested sites to purchase one from on the resources page.

Hosting
The second step is your own hosting account. When you are starting, you do NOT need a massive dedicated server, but you do need your own hosting account. A shared server will do perfectly, and you can grab a solid shared server for a little under 10 dollars a month.Why do you need your own host?A few reasons, but one of the big ones is flexibility. You will be able to, at some point, create your own sales pages for your products, squeeze pages, host your own blog, develop your own web site, host your download pages and store your digital products for delivery. Basically, you will have an online presence on your own domain name.If you do not have hosting, you can find suggested sites to purchase one from on the resources page.

Auto-responder
When you hear the broken record speech about how the money is in the list, guess what - it's repeated because it's true.All smart internet marketers and list owners know that the money is in the list. And I know you are one of them, too! Therefore, every marketer who firmly believes in how much business, influential power and wealth a mailing list can bring is doing just about any and every thing possible to build their mailing list.My original list building efforts that started years ago still contain many of those same subscribers from day one. Products and programs can come and go, but your list can stay with you forever (if you treat them right).So why is having an auto responder critical? It's your bread and butter. It’s the first must-have tool because it's the starting point of any successful online business. And the better you treat that list, the more money you will make. It's that simple.

Auto responders are a powerful tool because they ONLY focus on mailing. Your autoresponder service should be spending 100% of its time getting your email into your subscribers’ inbox.Do not make the mistake of choosing a 'free to join' auto-responder. Those services are constant bombardment of advertising to your subscribers and can easily drive them off, as well as create an unprofessional appearance for you.Require a double opt-in for your visitors. This will help to prevent phony details being keyed into your sign-up form by freebie seekers who also want to take a step
further in getting you into trouble for spam issues. By requiring visitors to confirm their subscription from valid email addresses, you can cut your risks of spam reports tremendously.If you do not have an auto-responder, you can find suggested sites to purchase one from on the resources page.

Creating campaigns
Each auto-responder company differs in their approach to setting up campaigns. Check the help or how to page on your auto-responders sites for information on campaign set up.Create a campaign for every niche you choose to promote. Putting subscribers not interested in SEO into a list for e-book creation may only serve to receive a lot of unsubscribes due to promoting a product they’re not interested in. Be sure and send a concise thank you letter with the download of the requested product. 

I do not recommend attempting to sell them on another product at this point, because you really need to build a relationship. Many a marketer fails at this point in the relationship for that very reason. 

Add value to your list by setting a couple of follow up letters to share some relevant information, free product, or even a little humor with them. Everyone likes to be treated as an individual, not just a funnel for money.
