Step1
Join the world and start a blog!
Blogging is the craze of this internet generation. A blog is online
diary that can be easily updated. Your readers can even leave comments or answer polls. By just setting
one up you create another link into your site. People love blogs and love to read what others have to
say. By creating a blog on a subject related to your website you already have targeted visitors who
won’t hesitate to click onto your website if they want to learn more information.
Setting one up is extremely easy and most blog websites are free. I recommend trying out Blogger.com
as it’s operated by Google. Also, by setting up a blog on Blogger.com you can almost guarantee you’ll
be picked up by Google spiders quicker than if you manually submitted your website to them.
Although there are great advantages to posting to a Blogger site you always want to have a blog hosted
on your own site. Blogger will take down sites and sometimes for no apparent reason. You can lose all
your data and traffic in seconds. Apart from blogger, I have personnally used wordpress successfully.
The first time I opened up my word press blog, I made two sales that day. And these were highly priced
items. The unfortunate thing is that I got this blog deleted or removed by word press for reasons I did
not even know.
I cannot access it now. May be it is my computer. it was located at
http://www.softerdreams.wordpress.com If it is still there, you can send me an email to tell me.
Make forums related to your niche, your daily destination.
There are people talking about your niche
on any number of forums and groups. Join several and provide accurate content rich answers to their
questions. Be seen as a helper, someone who is truly interested in the topic and the people. Do not
spam. Do not advertise but place your site in your signature line. You'll be pleasantly surprised at the
number of good customers you'll receive. If people are motivated enough to join a forum or group to
discuss their issue then they most likely are motivated to find good information. The other advantage is
that your will also gain a lot of knowledge from the experts in your niche. All the gurus in your niche
usually hang out in forums. So if you need to rub shoulders with them, it is good you go there.
*Important though * Remember you also have to give the impression of an expert in your niche when
answering questions. So you should not openl
Step2
Have you seen the next thing to blogging?
I do not know what to call it, but it is called a lense. You
simply open up a lense,and post any message relating to your topic or business. Provided you update it
every day, people will visit this lense even from places you never expected. At your lens, you only post
little information about your product or website and then point the reader to your product webpage. In
other words, a lens is just a starting point for surfers, not the finishing point. So your offer is the
finishing point.
Lenses rank really highly in google, often #1 for non-competitive search terms, and tags help your lens
come up for SPECIFIC search terms.
What you have to keep in mind is your probable visitor's mind before he/she finds your lense. What
might a person new to your subject search for? Might they type a QUESTION into google?
For example, someone might type: Vitamin booster? If you had this as a tag on your vitamin booster
lens then you would probably come up quite high!
Do you have a lens about camera memory cards? Maybe this would be a good tag: what memory cards
work with cameraX. Not everybody is going to search google for that, but those who do will probably
find you.
So you have to think foward.Will anyone in your target audience type a QUESTION into google? What
might they type? Think of some examples, and add them as tags!
You can start up your own lens at Squidoo in only five minutes and it is free. Plus check out my own

Bum Market to get targeted traffic.
Well,bum marketing is a very wide topic that has recently taken
trend. It so wide that I cannot discuss it in this volume. But briefly, bum marketing is article marketing
to earn money.What you do is to do research on keywords, I recommend keyword elite. Then you
identify the key words with little competition ( not above 15000) but some good searches performed on
it in a recent month. Then you go to click bank, choose a product related to that topic, write and article
about it. Then in your resource box on the article, you include a link to that product. You then submit
your article to three recommended article directories which google loves so much. These article
directories are Ezinearticles.com, Goartcles.com and searchwarp.com
With a few weeks, your article will show up on google fo
Step3
Viral marketing has a mystique about it.
The first site that accidentally took real advantage of this
method was Interview With God. The owner of the site published a public domain poem on the net just
a couple of months before 9/11. His site was ?discovered' by many people who took solace from the
poetry and began sending the site to all of their friends. The rest was history. The essence of viral
marketing is sharing information with people you know. There are several avenues open to you and
even more if you use your imagination. You can take advantage of social networking sites and social
bookmarking sites where you can share your information with all of your new ?friends'. Tell a friend
scripts on your site can encourage your current visitors to tell their friends. You'll find that people will
tell their friends if your site is funny, touching or if you offer incentive. Another technique is to offer
free information through ebooks with links back to your site.
Article marketing.
This is different from the bum marketing method I have talked about above. With
bum marketing, you are basically tarketing low competitive keyword. But here I mean geting traffic for
even those highly competitive keywords such as mine which is Make money only and internet
marketing. Article marketing has been a topic of conversation for several years now. People seem to
attempt this particular avenue and get discouraged easily. Although this type of marketing will
economically generate targeted customers it is a time consuming job. The best technique to use is to
post at least three to four articles per week to two or three of the top article directories. It's not
necessary to post to 300 directories, just the ones with high page ranks like ezinearticles.com. These
article postings do three things. You have back links from a site with a high page rank; you have access
to publishers and your content will be found on organic searches based on the keywords and phrases
you enter when you post to the directory.
Step4
Do you have expert knowledge on a particular subject that relates to your website and business? You
not only can share that knowledge in groups and forums but also by using answer sites through Yahoo
Answers or eHow.com. In these arenas people post questions and others post answers. People who read
the answers rate them. Your site gets traffic when people perceive that you are giving high quality
answers.
Step5
MySpace.com Traffic
Using MySpace.com to advertise your website has become a new way to increase your traffic. This
site is mainly a “people meeting” site but you can list your website and create friendships with
thousands of people in a very short time.
You simply need to mention your website URL when you send a message to the community bulletin
board. This can create a tremendous flood of traffic to your website as there are over 35,000,000
subscribers to MySpace.com.
You have the knowledge to drive traffic to your site. This may not be the flood of traffic that dreams
are made of but they are targeted customers, the most important kind of traffic. As your skill using
these techniques improves so will the number of buying customers visiting your site. And isn't that the
point? By spending a little time and using some creativity, promoting your website doesn’t have to
drain your bank account. Take some time to check out these opportunities and you’ll find yourself with
a steady stream of website traffic in no time.
