Visitors to your site are critical – getting them there automatically is even better. Here’s how…

Before we begin

Keyword research is really the first step in getting traffic to your website. Why? Because you have to target these keywords if you are to have any hope of actually generating traffic for them. This means it’s critical to select your keywords properly.

Here are the important considerations for your research:

• Are the keywords you’re interested in attainable? Take a look at the “strength” of others websites (and how many) are already targeting these keywords.
• Are these “buying” keywords? If you don’t do your research you’ll end up with a lot of traffic that doesn’t buy from you. This is not what you’re looking for.
• Another thing to think about is affiliates. Nothing brings more buyers like an army of affiliates. So make sure you are also targeting keywords to attract affiliates.

Although this is an essential step, doing it all by hand can take a very long time. Experts are expensive and don’t guarantee results. The upside is that these two factors keep most everyone from even doing their keyword research. What I recommend is using website traffic software to save the time of doing it yourself and the money of hiring someone else. This way you get this critical step done fast and done well.

OK, now we can talk about traffic…

Only after doing your keyword research correctly can you start targeting these keywords to get you traffic.

• Here are a couple of clever ways to do this…
• Most people overlook the power of Surveys!
• “Help” Websites
• Video Sharing Sites

Surveys

The truth is that people really enjoy taking surveys and finding out what other people think. And if you make it interesting, other people will post your survey on their website. And when they put your survey on their site, they will include a link back to your website. The beauty of this is that it generates  website visitors for you with no work on your part. Most people think surveys are just for collecting data, but in this case you don’t even care about the answers. Just make the question interesting enough that people will want to share it with their own visitors.

“Traffic Traps”

These sites, like answers.yahoo.com are filled with people asking and answering questions for each other. Once again, the main reason for this site is not the reason you’re interested. What you want to do is use these sites to generate traffic and leads for your business. Now, you can do this all by hand – visit a classified ads or answers site and one by one copy and paste contact info. The good news is that it’s easy to find website traffic software that can do this automatically. This allows you to do the things in your business that can’t be automated and let the software just give you the leads.

Video Sharing Sites

Another great resource is video sharing sites like YouTube. YouTube is one of the most highly traffic and search websites on the entire internet! So don’t miss out of this incredible source of free website traffic.

And don’t worry if you don’t have any idea of how to make a video. It’s really easy to just start with an article or something you’ve already written. Then just do a screen capture of yourself going through it. You can even get software that will automatically do this for you.

Summary

Figuring out how to get some visitors to your site is not hard at all. It just takes a little time and some ingenuity. And today there are tons of options for software tools that can help with every part of this process.

Don’t waste any more time:

• Step 1 is researching your keywords
• Set up some viral surveys
• Make sure to use the “answer” sites
• And definitely include video sharing sites

 Affiliate Marketing Secrets

One of the easiest and fastest way to generate income online is through affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing means that all you do is sendtraffic to someone else’s website, they make the sale and deliver the product, and you get paid 50% or more

These are a some of the benefits

1.  You’re able to start almost instantly without having to make a product, set up a website and sales page, design the website, develop marketing materials, or get a merchant account and CRM.
2. There’s no time investment from you because they handle the billing, support, maintenance, etc.
3. Your efforts are risk-free, because the product owner has already done all the research , development and testing. So if you send visitors you will get paid.

Obviously affiliate marketing makes sense – these benefits make it a clear winner!

OK, but it’s not all rosy…

After all your hard work of generating traffic to the sales page, you will never see any of those visitors again. Unfortunately, the majority of those visitors (at least 90%) will not buy on their first visit. The 10% or less that make a purchase now belong to the product owner. She can sell them additional products, but you can never sell to them again.

How can you avoid this pitfall?

What you need to do is capture the contact info of your visitors before sending them to the product website. This way you can follow up with them and keep sending them back to the sales page to increase your chances of making the sale. And if you’re really on top of your game, you’ll then send to a content mini-site in between.

Here are the benefits of doing affiliate marketing like this:

• Owning a list of potential buyers gives you the ability to market additional products at the push of a button.
• You’re generating good will by giving them high-quality content. This way, they are much more likely to make a purchase when you send them to the sales page.

In order to set a system like this up, you will need the following

• A lead capture page, preferably with video
• At least a few pages of great content
• At least a 5-Part Email Followup Series

Instead of sending visitors directly to the product sales page, you’ll send them to your lead capture page first. It captures the name and email of your visitors and puts them into your autoresponder, which then begins sending out the 5-part email series. Then it redirects them to your content pages after they subscribe to your email series.

The content pages provide valuable information for your visitors and make them more receptive to the sales message that you’ll link to from inside the content. While they’re reading the content you’ve provided, your email system is already following up with them to send them back to the product website again and again.

All of this together increases your chances of making the sale by up to 500% so it’s well worth the effort of setting it up. After setting it up, you simply send visitors to your squeeze page instead of the sales page. And the rest runs on auto-pilot.

If you don’t have the time or expertise to set it all up yourself, you can use something like a Services like this to design the entire system (the video, the video squeeze page, the email series, the content pages, etc). The benefit is that it’s much less expensive then you could do it yourself, and it’s instantly set up. One negative is that there will be other people using this same affiliate marketing system  However, the odds of you and them both finding the same visitor are so small, that it doesn’t really matter.

Another way to accomplish this is to hire “outsourcers” through a website like Elance to build and put your system together for you. The important thing is that you start using affiliate tools like the ones described here right now! Otherwise, you’re wasting your time and money.

I have been seeing more and more WSO’s ( Warrior Special Offers) showing up in my inbox lately.

I am going to guess you have as well.

Ever wonder why that is?

Well there are a few good reason, but before I get into them lets take a look at what a WSO is.

A WSO is a Warrior Special Offer, or a special offer made just for members of the warrior forum.

If you are not familiar with the warrior forum, it is an extremely active forum about internet marketing, that has been around since 1997.

I personally have been a member there since 2006 though not always very active.

I always saw WSO’s as where someone could offer a discount to a service or product they were selling to drum up some extra business.

That has changed though and now there are more and more members that are creating products to be released soley as WSO’s.

If you take a look at this screen shot it’s easy to see why

Savvy members realized that providing a WSO could not only boost current products or services but that they could used to create an income.

So how do you get your paice of that $14 Million Pie?

Realy there is two ways, you can create your own special offer on the warrior forum, or you can promote other WSO’s as an affiliate.

Creating your own offer is actually much easier than you would think, I am actually going to be finishing up one I’m working on after posting this.

If you think this is something that might interest you then there is a WSO (imagine that) that you should check out.

Ken Sar, has put together an awesome video course that walks you through everything you need to know.

Everything from how to actually create a product, or how you can have others create it for you, to how you go about getting it listed and promoted.  I grabbed this the other day and wish I would have had it avialable earlier.

As I mentioned I am working on creating my own WSO and well, it would have been already done if I would have watched these videos first.

If you want to create your own Warrior Special Offer than check out Ken Sar’s  Product Creation and WSO Video Course

Now if product creation isn’t for you or your just not ready yet and maybe want to get your feet wet a bit first then you can also promote warriorforum special offers as an affiliate.

This is a bit different than promoting a lot of other products though.

It’s not more difficult, by any means and conversions actually tend to be much higher, the first one I ever promoted converted at an amazing 20% which is way higher than any clickbank offers I have promoted over the past year.

One of the great things about WSO’s is there is instant social proof, if a product is good the members will let you know if they aren’t well people will be sure to point that out as well, so you have product reviews by the customers right there listed along side the sales copy and that goes a long way.

Of course that only works if you promote something that is actually good and has good comments, but really why would you want to promote a product that wasn’t any good anyway.

Anwesh Rath has put together another awesome WSO for anyone that is looking to promote products that are featured as WSO’s as affiliates.

It was following his guide that I got that 20% conversion I mentioned.

If you are at all interested in promoting as an affiliate then you should grab Anwesh Rath’s WSO Commission Booster Report

Another great thing to mention about these warrior special offers is the value. If you niticed from the screen shot above the average price of those sold is $14.53 this is way under the bloated prices you will find anywhere else, but don’t mistake that for them being less valuable.

The warrior forum is huge and full of marketers from all around the world. Some one that wants to get their name out there in front of all these other warrior forum marketers wants to make an impression.

So they tend to over deliver.

That means not only are you getting products, services and/or training for rock bottom prices but you are usually getting a lot more than you would expect if you were buying  something similar elsewhere.

Check out a few for yourself and see what I mean and if you want to cash in on this WSO phenomenon then check out the links above and discover how to create your own or promote some one elses.

There are two tools I use everyday to help me mange my traffic credits, the first is covered in this TE Command Post Video

The second is Viral Mail Profits. THis is not just a viral mailer, it is also an excellent management and organizational tool, which if you know me , you know I can use all the help I can get to stay organized.

If you are a member of more than one safelist or viral mailer then you probably know how its easy to forget which ones you can mail when you can mail them , or even keep track of what you have mailed before.

Well thats where Viral Mail Profits comes in and.. well here’s a video that explains what it does

Managing Mailers With Viral Mail Profits

If you are looking to get a better handle on your safelists and viral mailers then Viral Mail Profits can help you out.

Today I want to tell you about a new email solution that I completely fell in love with: ViralinBox! This platform is an all-in-one email, list building and marketing solution, which means that it will not only serve you as an email solution but also as a way to build a list and market your products (or affiliate products).

I can hear you… You already have an email account and access to programs that allow you to build a list and promote and advertise all sorts of products. Well, ViralinBox is very different from what you currently have because it will also help you dramatically increase your work productivity and give you massive, targeted exposure!

Here are a few of the main reasons why you should join ViralinBox:

- You can create a unique email address for each contact you make and list you join

With a single Viralinbox account, you can have multiple email addresses, which is great if you want to manage your personal and business emails from a single place, or have multiple business email addresses on the same email account. You can forget about having to create a new email account every time you need a new email address…

With ViralinBox, you can now create 30, 60, 100 or even an unlimited number from a single account (depending on your membership level)! The best part is… You can create them using nothing else than ‘mind control’! When you give someone an email address that doesn’t exist, the system automatically creates a new box when an email is sent to that address. With an upgraded account you can even use your own domain name!

- With ViralinBox you can permanently stop spam and clean your inbox with the push of a button, even if you don’t have an opt-out link!

You can also say ‘goodbye’ to all the spam you keep receiving and don’t seem to be able to stop. ViralinBox allows you to permanently stop spam with the push of a button! With a ViralinBox account, you can create multiple boxes, with a unique email address each, and you can of course close any of them whenever you want.

Every time you make a new contact or join a list, you should create a new email address, and if they start spamming you, you can close the box and you will never receive any more emails from that source! You could also simply unsubscribe from the list but unfortunately too many don’t play by the rules in our industry!

- You can get massive, highly targeted exposure with the mailing and advertising tools

ViralinBox also comes with a powerful system mailer that allows you to email up to 120,000 random members every single month! As a Platinum Member, you receive 1,000 mailing credits every day, and as a Diamond Member you receive 2,000 mailing credits every day. There’s even a system that makes you earn credits for actions you already perform every day, like clicking on links in an email you read!

There is also an advertising program, and every time you see an ad on a page, you earn advertising credits that you can then use to create your own ads and advertise your products! Simply using the system will be enable to send more emails to random members, show your ads within the members area and much, much more…

- You can build a list and get up to 55% commissions on upgraded referrals

ViralinBox also comes with a list builder that allows you to build a 5 to 8 levels deep downline, and make up to 55% commissions on upgraded referrals. Even as a Free Member you can make some nice commissions and earn a recurring income. Does your current email solution offer you all these features and benefits? ViralinBox does…

In all honesty, I think this email solution is the most advanced email platform for online business owners and marketers. It is actually the one and only platform designed with internet marketers in mind. It will help you increase your productivity by managing ALL your emails from a single dashboard.

Make sure you read the one-time offer at sign up because it gives you a great opportunity to score an upgraded membership (with which you can for example email at least 1,000 random members every days) at an insanely cheap price!
