If you can’t get the traffic you need on your own, get bundled in with someone else’s promotion. Let them drive all the traffic, and you just slip in a high quality item of your own for free.
Now, there ARE dangers to this. You need the full endorsement of the party whose package you’re included in, or your stuff may be seen as just some free filler junk.
But when this is done correctly – Oh. Boy. The traffic is unstoppable because first, you’re in front of an audience of known buyers.
This tip is goes really well with a tip I got from Jimmy D. Brown, which is to focus more of your affiliate marketing efforts on membership sites that pay you a commission every month.
If I was starting over with an online business, I would have built my empire every differently, in anticipation of the days when I would be unable to work.
First, I would have built a better membership than the one I have now, more like the one I used to have.
An affiliate marketer, is, of course, a person who makes the majority of their income marketing other people’s products.
As someone who sells my own products, I give affiliates incentives to sell my products by calculating how much I would spend to get a new lead to buy a given product, and passing that income on to my affiliates.
Sometimes that’s up to 50%, so on a $100, an affiliate would incur none of the cost of creating the product, paying for professional graphics, sales copy, hosting, etc.
First, let’s define the term Explosive Results for our usage.
When you visualize something exploding, you think about a burst of energy, often associated with fire for some reason – probably the fault of our favorite action pictures.
I love to see things blow up as long as I know no one really got hurt – not just in movies but in website promotion. And an intelligent social media strategy won’t just get you several thousand links from various social sites. It can bring you premium web visibility, more targeted visitors, and bring you closer to your existing audience.
The video above is some of StumbleUpon traffic, specifically the traffic I drove using su.pr. In the example above, the numbers average to about 5000 Stumbles a week, and I’m not a Power Stumbler by any stretch.
That’s not even traffic I got for myself, it’s for other people.
I normally use Tweetmeme and BackType Connect to follow social media conversations about my site. But these were worth a mention, as I love anything that will link back to my blog when someone’s tweeted about me.
I just finished totally re-vamping the Evergreen Traffic System based on a mixture of feedback, market changes and the urge to make it better. I wanted to make a system that would show everyone how to get to 1000 visitors a day now that I’ve shown everyone how to get to 100 visitors a day.
We’re just about to launch the new product at midnight with a special exclusive test promotion before we open it up to a group of JV partners. And I just realized.
