7 Things You Must Do If You Want To Increase Your Traffic by Jo Han Mok
Gary Halbert once said that the ONLY advantage he
wanted when it came to selling burgers was not a
better sauce, or better grade of beef, but a STARVING
CROWD.
It' s a simple concept, but not many people get it.
#1. Find and Know Your Starving Crowd
You can have the greatest product in the world, but
still sell squat if no one wants to buy your product.
Who are your potential buyers? Do you know them like
the back of your hand? KNOW your buyers. Head down
to http://www.Overture.com, type in your keywords and
take furious notes!
#2. Power Position Yourself
Understand that people online are looking for
information. They don't want information from just
anyone. They want good, solid information from people
who have been there, done that. If you can provide
valuable advice to your prospects, you can be sure
that they'll begin to trust you and develop a
RELATIONSHIP with you. And just how do you position
yourself as an expert? Easy, Become one.
Once you develop a reputation as an expert, the
traffic will come in flocks. People NEED help. Help
from experts. Are you an expert? : - )
#3. Create an Epidemic
Imagine this. What if you could get a super salesman
to spend 24 hours everyday, 7 days every week, 52
weeks every year, for the rest of your life... a
salesman who never gets sick or tired and all he does
is direct hordes and hordes of targeted traffic to
your site?
Don't even try to estimate the astounding value
someone like this would bring to your business.
It is possible, and it's called viral marketing. It's
the most powerful concept on the Internet. Many have
tried using it and many have failed miserably.
People have this misconception that as long as they
have an ebook that is "brandable", it constitutes a
viral marketing campaign.
They are dead wrong.
#4. Steal Traffic from Someone Else
Got you. Of course, there are ethical ways to do that.
The most powerful way, is through a JV or Joint
Venture. A JV does not mean shooting an email to
someone in your field of high repute saying "Hey,
wanna do business with me?"
You're in for a big disappointment if you think that's
gonna work. Your potential JV partner is a human as
well, and chances are, he/she is a SOMEBODY in your
field. So make your JV proposal as benefit laden, and
"hands free" for your potential partner as possible.
Recognize your JV partner's accomplishments, be
generous with your praise and above all, be sincere.
But never be afraid to ASK. If you don't A-S-K, you
will never G-E-T.
#5. Become A Marketing PI
Here's Industrial Espionage 101. The magic word?
Forums.
Forums will show you exactly what your target market
is unhappy about and the problems they have. Lurk
around forums. LISTEN. Forget about YOUR problems and
listen to other people's problems. Solve those
problems. I guarantee you'll become rich. Zig Ziglar
said, the way to achieve success is to help others get
what they want.
#6. Expired Domains Do More Than Expire
You can always use expired domain names as a great
source of traffic. Search the expired domain
databases, look on EBay. Some web hosts now allow
multiple domains to park on a single account. Take
advantage of that.
#7. Transform Words into Traffic
Articles are the best "Traffic Machines" that work for
ANYONE- no matter what product, service, or
information they're selling.
You get 100% targeted traffic, FREE! And, they
position you as an expert, and improve your link
popularity. Plus, articles are really easy to write as
well.
If you have never written an article, go try writing
one NOW!
All 7 steps above seem really easy. It's one thing to
read and go "ahh" and another thing to read those
steps and actually take solid action. Nothing will
happen until you take action. No action equals no
traffic, equals no sales, equals no money to pay the
rent.
