I don’t know anyone that has all the traffic they need. Even the gurus that have thousands of visitors a day are always looking for ways to drive hot, targeted traffic to their websites. Could you use a little more targeted traffic to your site? Of course you could, I don’t know a marketer that couldn’t so lets dive on in.
Here are several quick and easy ways to get traffic to your site in record time.
Method 1 - Take a shot at article marketing. It’s not hat hard if you have an understanding of you product or service. Simply write 400-700 words on your topic and make it interesting. Out some passion and value added content in there and the next thing you know, people will want to know more about you and your expertise. That;’s when you send them to your site link using the resource box at the bottom of this article.
Method 2 - Do a quick video for YouTube. This doesn’t need to be an elaborate production but just something that tells the viewer about your product. Here’s the video marketing formula. Short Introduction, Present a problem, offer solution, and strong call to action. Write a headline that someone looking for your product would type into a search engine. Keep it simple.
Method 3 - Add your website link to your email signature. yo may already be doing this but is it enticing and attractive. Try offering a free special offer for clicking or something shocking or of value to quickly grab attention. Occasionally people will click on an old boring link but more often they want to know what’s in in for them . Give it to them!
Method 4 - Write a short downloadable e-book to give away. This doesn’t need to be a novel. Typically 8 to 12 pages of hard hitting information on your topic. Don’t give away the farm, but keep them interested and wanting more. This also positions you as an expert in the field which goes along way in customer retention.
Method 5 - Post tiny classified ads on Craigslist. This is a quick way to get things going immediately. If you’ve never used this method before you’ll find that it can result in some pretty fast, targeted traffic in no time. There are several little strategies to explode your traffic using this method but one is the use of a catchy value driven headline. For example: Drive Floods of Traffic To Any Website Using Craigslist…Guaranteed!
All of these methods work f you work them and the best thing is they are all absolutely 100% free. In terms of the learning curve and effectiveness of all these methods, I would probably start with Craigslist followed by article marketing.
With these key strategies under our belt, I suggest you waste no time getting started as there is traffic waiting for you. Don;t overwhelm your self by trying to tackle everything. Choose one or two and get going. Stay focused, good luck and happy marketing.
