Marketing Tips 101
Getting That Big Bad Traffic To Your Site
The first thing we all learn in NetMarketing is the fact that traffic, hits to your websites, is critical to your success. Traffic is the single most important thing in the NetMarketing business; without it there is simply no business - period. A respected NetMarketing expert has said that one should spend about 70% of her/his time at the computer getting traffic. And from personal experience, I can tell you that he is 100% correct. Many new NetMarketers go overboard working on content. Content is important, but the general tendency in the beginning is to go overboard. So hold off. Don't try to upload everything in a few days. Start getting that traffic as soon as possible, brand yourself and you business - start making a name for yourself.
So how does one go about getting that Big Bad Traffic? First of all commit the following quote to memory: "The Secret to your success is found in your daily routine." Got that? Because that's what building a business really is - a daily habit of work. Getting traffic is not the most fun thing you'll ever do. There's no magic or secret formula (no matter what some "experts" tell you), rather persistence, consistency, patience and budgeting - time and money as well as time vs money.
The most tried and true method of getting traffic are Traffic Exchanges, where you earn credits for hits in exchange for viewing others' web sites. No two traffic exchanges are the same; there are always advantages and disadvantages at any exchange. You can always join as a free member, but like everything else in life, you get what you pay for...
However, here are a few tips for whichever type of membership you choose:
1) Before you start your day's work on traffic exchanges, set a goal for the number of hits you want to earn. Having a specific number in mind helps dull the monotony of clicking - imagine all the surfers viewing your site!
2) As soon as you can budget it, upgrade. You'll still have to surf, but you'll earn hits at a higher rate and save time surfing. Many exchanges give upgraded members' sites a higher priority and referrals, members that you can email.
3) If you're really pressed for time and can budget it, consider buying a given number of credits every month.
4) It's usually best to advertise Splash Pages, simple, fast-loading (light graphics) pages that make the surfer want to click the link and learn more.
5) Vey Important Put a text link on your splash page to open that same splash page in a new window. People often just want to surf continuously, clicking to open a page in a new window, bookmark, and view later.
To your success,
