  • 3 Main Ways to get Instant Traffic


    Build on existing traffic strategies

    We have seen in our previous topic, how to increase your website traffic. In some circumstances, you may need to increase your traffic immediately or to boost it in order to spread a new product or an offer or or simply to implement your viral marketing. Well there are 3 easy ways to accomplish this and we will discuss them in this article.

    They entail:

    • Buying targeted traffic to your site!
    • Emailing to your list; and…
    • Making a Joint Venture(JV).

    To buy fast and immediate traffic, you will need to go to Google or one of the other alternatives like overture from yahoo…

    You may need to know how to use Google Adwords first, there is excellent ebooks on this subject, that will save you a lot of money, and avoid your ad being deactivated. That type of advertising is called Pay Per Click advertising. You will set a daily budget for your campaign, and you will only pay when some one makes a click on your link. You will be able to see your ad on the right table of the page, when you search for specific keywords.

    Emailing to your list

    For example, you can buy 3 different advertising sources, pay the same price for each, then track with a software which advertising gives you more results. Then go on, like that you will save your money.

    The second way is to email to your list. You must understand the sale process. In a nutshell, visitors are surfing they fall on your site, but they probably won’ t come back except if you offer them an incentive, or newsletter, something that will bring them back: You can send a promotional email, twice a month or once Send valuable information between the promotional offer.

    The joint venture strategy

    The last tip for immediate traffic is Joint Venture. You have to get other websites to send email to their list, place your link on their website, and you will pay them only when they process a sale.

    Pay them 50% or more. And make the sale easy for them, prepare for them the subject and body of the emails, prepare the affiliate link they will put on their websites, and any other material you can use. And who knows, you will probably find some good friends out there.

     

  • My Web Marketing Basics

    To start with

    Digital & Electronic Products – Unbeatable in Quality and Price!

    Web Marketing has become a sophisticated and creative way to promote (and sell) a product or service to the largest number of potential buyers, regardless of the physical location of your (brick and mortar) store. In fact, depending on the product or service you’re selling, you may not even need a brick and mortar store or “offline” establishment because marketing on the Web requires neither.

    You can literally begin doing business on the Web with just a few simple tools which I refer to as Web marketing basics. First you’ll need a website or blog. Second, you’ll need web hosting in order to get your website or blog on the Web (Internet). And third you’ll need traffic (or visitors) to your website or blog so that your product/service can be exposed to potential buyers.

    What & how to promote

    The Web marketing basics mentioned above apply to would-be web marketers who already have a product or service to sell but need Web exposure. However, if you do not already have your own product or service but still wish to start your own Web marketing career, you’ll need to add a fourth step. Promote and sell other people’s products/services. You can do this by joining affiliate networks such as Amazon.com, clickBank, LinkShare, Covert Commissions and other similar affiliate networks.

    Once you have your basics, it is time to start promoting and competing against other web marketers (and there are many), so a big part of your new job/career as a Web marketer is learning (getting training, tutoring, etc.), optimizing your website/blog, tweaking your message (adding content to your website/blog), and advertising your business (product/service) which is necessary to drive more traffic to it.

    Startup costs

    So what will it cost (you knew there would be a cost, right?) to get your business up and running with just a few Web marketing basics? The answer is: Not much, if you use the right sources. Creating the website or blog cost nothing if you have some knowledge of HTML. Web hosting cost less then $10.00 per month for 4 websites if you deal with the right Web Host.

    Traffic to your website/blog – although the most costly of the basics – could be less than $100.00 if you are willing to work hard and learn a little more about SEO (Search Engine Optimization), and prepare (optimize) your website/blog so that it appeals to the search engines (Google, Bing, etc.).

    A lesser cost startup

    Let’s face it, even if you have to shell out $100.00 to start a new career in web marketing, it’s a lot less than starting a brick and mortar business in your local business district which could run in the $Thousands or $Tens-of-Thousands.

  • Tips for Closing That Consulting Deal

    Get the contract

    There are several reasons why consultants ultimately lose deals they should have been able to close. Unless a client’s portfolio is poor, many consultants lose contracts because they either did not listen or they failed to speak effectively when attempting to convey what services they could offer that would help the client reach his/her goals.

    Every consultant feels that the one thing they are able do well is talking the talk; but effective speaking is more of an art than a science, because if an individual – especially one who represents his/herself as a professional consultant – can’t effectively convey how his/her services are going to help the client, s/he won’t get the contract. It’s as simple as that.

    Making the sale

    Reflect Before You React –

    Is it human nature to say the first thing that comes to our mind when we’re asked a question? Take a moment to think of what answer is best for the client. It will show that you put enough thought into your work and don’t just plow ahead. Your clients will appreciate that, because your best reaction is not always your first reaction.

    Keep It Simple Superstar –

    Just because you know the ins and outs of your business doesn’t mean that your client will. Speak to them on their level, not yours. Keep the conversation simple and get straight to the point. If your client understands what you can do for them, they are more likely to hire you. If you try and dazzle them with industry speak, you’ll lose them, and lose the contract.

    You may have heard the saying that if you are speaking to a perspective client on the phone, you should stand up. Here’s why some motivational speakers highlight this technique: For many people, standing makes them get straight to the point.

    Let the Client Talk –

    If you want to learn how to best position yourself, find out exactly what the client wants and ask questions to home in on what their needs are. By asking questions, you gain a better understanding of how you can help the client, and the client feels that they are part of the solution. This gives you a chance to reflect on what you can offer your prospective client.

    A Little Enthusiasm Goes A Long Way –

    Your client feels passionate about what they do, and if you show that you are passionate and enthusiastic about providing them the solution they want, you’ll get the client onboard. Enthusiasm will open many doors for you.

    Getting personal

    It takes experience and a watchful eye, when you think about it, if you show your client that they are more than just another big deal for your portfolio, and you will learn how to best work with them. Treat all clients the same way, and you will find your schedule empty of projects. Remember that clients say things for a reason.

    If they volunteer that they can’t talk right now because they are getting ready for Bobby’s birthday party on Saturday, on your follow up call, ask them casually how the party went. Don’t pry, and don’t send balloons. By casually asking about the party, you show that you pay attention to details. Knowing how successful the party was will prepare you on how to approach the conversation.

    Remember that you need to sell to the customer’s needs, not your skills. Master this and you will have a long career as a consultant.
