Before your get started learning and executing all these proven ways to increase traffic to
your website you might want to stop and think if you are even focusing on the right niche.
There are some niches which do not attract much interest and therefore not much profit.
Really analyze what niche you are promoting and see if you might not have some expertise
in another area which could bring in more visitors and sales and maybe have less
competition.
If I had a knack for video games, doing make up videos, fitness and/or , extreme fishing
or if I could pull of promoting myself boxing Jake Paul I probably would get more traffic
without knowing much at all about all these marketing techniques.
More people are interested in watching Jake Paul beat up some retired MMA star than
learning about the intricacies of seo and traffic generation.
However, I am already making money with digital marketing, I like it, so I persist.
But if you really have not invested fully in your niche yet.
Definitely look carefully at your niche. The “make money from home” niche is one that
attracts quite a few people initially. And you CAN make money with this niche. I have.
However, it also is not the best because 99% of the people who are in this niche quit.
Say you wanted to wanted to start making money online and you were an expert bass
fisherman.
You might consider creating an online course about your fishing expertise and passion
rather than going after some make money quick scheme.
You could study digital marketing and apply your expertise to a niche which interests
more people (including you), and one that has less competition.
Because with the digital marketing niche you are competing with black belts in
marketing. Other fisherman most likely are not expert digital marketers.
Food for thought!
Miles Beckler is a very well respected marketer with close to 200,000 subscribers to his
YouTube channel he has produced an excellent video on how to find a profitable niche. I
suggest subscribing to his YouTube channel.
2. Create a Memorable Brand
Think carefully about your brand. Do you have a name which is easy to remember and let’s
people know exactly what you are about?
Do you have to spell your domain name or can you just tell somebody the name of your
website and they immediately remember it?
Google does not have to spend money on advertising. Their name and brand alone has
invaded the conciousness of everyone in the planet.
They are typing into Google search “Free Ad Forum” or “The Free Ad Forum.” They are
typing in my actual brand name into Google.
Having all the website traffic in the world will do you no good at all if your offer is not 1st
rate. Conversely if your offer is top notch and gives your customers great value then
you do not need as much traffic to convert this traffic into sales.
One of the criteria Google uses to judge your site is how long people stay on your site and
if they visit other pages on your website.
4. Write Amazing Headlines
The headline is the first part of your ad copy that anybody sees. If your headline does not
grab the attention of your reader immediately and get them to read your content your
message will never be seen
This goes for blog posts, classified ads, videos or press releases. The first thing your
prospect sees is your headline. If it does not grab them and get them to click they will never
see your offer!
Here is a blog post which can give you ideas on how to improve your headlines: “7 Ruthlessly
Manipulative Techniques Grifters Use to Get You to Click On ANY Headline.”
5. Become A Skilled Copywriter
This is similar to tip #3 “Have a Great Offer.” Not only do you have to have a great offer
you have to SELL it. Learning to become a great copywriter will convert more visitors to
sales or to take action.
Enticing your reader to take action is the goal of having more website traffic.
Having compelling ad copy will also make your content more shareable on social media
giving you additional traffic. Great headlines and copy maximize the potential of each visitor.
Here is an excellent article on copy writing by respected Digital Marketer and Copywriter Neil
Patel.
12 Ad Copy Strategies That’ll Double Your CTR and Increase Your ROI
You can put links to your websites and social media channels in the descriptions. Below
is a description from one of my YouTube videos.
I try to embed a video on all of my blog posts and most of my web pages. Web pages with
videos get ranked favorably and quickly in Google. You are missing out on massive
amounts of traffic by neglecting video marketing.
This increases my views and subscribers on YouTube which in turn brings me more
traffic and better rankings on YouTube which in turn brings me more traffic.
Combining Email Marketing With YouTube Marketing is a
Effective Way to Build Momentum For Your Brand
I put links to my newsletter and affiliate program sign up forms conspicuously in the
descriptions of my videos. This brings me more newsletter sign ups.
You can even “stick” a comment and link to your own videos so that it stays at the top of
your comments section. I use this to ask people to join my newsletter.
7. YouTube Ads
The cost of YouTube ads is based on views. Each view can cost between $0.10 and $0.30
Keywords are less expensive on YouTube than on with Google Adwords pay per click
advertising.
Traditional Google Adwords ppc averages between $1-$2. per click on your ad.
Video Discovery Ads– Video Discovery YouTube ads are displayed on the YouTube
homepage, search results pages and as related videos.
Advertisers only pay when viewers watch at least 30 seconds and/or interact with the video
ad by clicking a call to action button.
Non-Skippable In-Stream Ads– These YouTube video ads play before, during or after
another video. Viewers cannot skip the ad. The video needs to be between 5-15 seconds and
they must view the entire message.
8. TikTok Advertising
TikTok is known as a platform especially popular with kids the network is reaching a larger
and larger demographic. TikTok has surpassed 1 billion users. The adult audience over 18
is now over 825 million people worldwide.
If you are advertising to younger adults, and in particular women TikTok could be a good
match for your campaign.
Tik Tok’s biggest audience is the United States with over 120 million people. TikTok is
also very popular in the Middle East and Asia.
If you still think TikTok is just for kids, you’re missing out on an important social media
advertising option for your brand.
9. Find High Traffic YouTube Videos
and Offer to Pay for a Link in The
Description
Many, maybe even most people make YouTube videos for fun and to share information.
They are really not focused on making money. Some of these videos will have huge
amounts of views.
You can direct message the owners of these channels and offer to pay them for a link. Up
to you to be creative with this one.
http://zzzJOHNCRESTANIzzz.j1r2c.hop.clickbank.net/
You create audiences based on Google Analytics and you can market people who have
shown some interest but most likely have not purchased yet.
Actually 98% of people who visit your site probably have not purchased. This is the
average! Often re-marketing is less expensive and more rewarding than targeting cold
prospects.
Here is an excellent article by Neil Patel on Re-Targeting Ads: Remarketing Made Simple: A
Step-by-Step Guide
I suggest getting an email follow up system like Aweber and start putting up sign up forms
all over your websites and blogs.
As an incentive for people to join your list you can offer an email course, free software
and/or a free ebook. I consider having your own email newsletter one of the best ways to
increase traffic to your website.
You can follow up with specials, and sending links to relevant and timely articles and
videos. This will in turn increase views and subscribers to your YouTube videos and other
social media.
Here are some articles on email marketing to help you get started.
12. Safelists
Safelists are lists of people who have agreed to receive each others email offers. It is kind
of like a circular firing squad!
If you have a product or service that appeals to other marketers you can actually get some
leads from safelists. Here is a video review of one safelist that I have used with success.
One advantage of safelists is that they are quick, easy and cheap. Just sign up, confirm your
emails, then send out your ad.
You cannot just rely on this traffic generation technique but it just one more tool in your
traffic generation arsenal.
Here are some safelists that I have personally used:
European Safelist
Herculist
Email-Hog
Safelist members have both a contact email and an email which is used to receive the
offers from the safelist mailings.
Sending a solo email to an actual contact list is generally more effective than sending out
emails to safelist but it is a bit more expensive.
Why not use that error page to get some more subscribers. This video explains how.
15. Exchange Solo Ads With
Synergistic Businesses
One of the great advantages of building your own mailing list is that you can cross promote
with similar businesses.
You both have similar audiences but somewhat different non competing products. If
they products are good why not cross promote and build each other’s audience?
You do a promotion for them and they do a promotion for you. Win Win!
16. Email Signatures
Getting traffic does not have to be complicated. How many personal emails do you send
out per day?
Why not include an email signature with a concise description and a link to your website in
all your outgoing personal emails?
If you send out 10 normal personal emails per day that comes to 300 per month.
If you send out 100 personal emails per day like me then that comes to an extra 3000
emails per month! Do you think this might get you some more traffic?
Are you selling an advertising related product or a service which would appeal somebody
who is already spending money and time advertising?
Then you can often get their attention by responding to their ads. There is even software
called Omni-Reply that will do this for you.
Here is a list of classified ad sites that allow posting of affiliate offers and business
opportunities.
The problem with manually posted ads is that it is time consuming and tedious. Fortunately
there are solutions. There is software which automatically will post your ads for you.
20. Use Automatic Ad Posting
Software to Post 1000’s of
Classified Ads
Osclass Submitter is one of the best automatic ad submission software. It posts to 26 high
traffic classified ad sites on autopilot. Learn more about Osclass Submitter here.
There is also free ad submission software available. This software has some limitations
when compared to Osclass Submitter but you can still submit quite a few ads and it is way
better than posting ads manually.

Running my own affiliate programs I have been a huge winner for me. I pay out $1000’s
in commissions each month on 3 affiliate programs that I run.
Having an army of affiliates working for you 24/7 for commission only is a extremely
effective technique for generating cost effective traffic. You only pay if your affiliates make
sales.
You will need either affiliate management software that you host on your own web server or
you will need to register your product or services with an affiliate network.
Imagine Having An Army of Affiliates Working
For You 24/7 Promoting Your Products For
Commission Only!
I use Amember software to manage billing and affiliate commissions. Amember is first
class and does a superb job of managing recurring affiliate commissions.
I highly recommend this software if you want to run any type of membership website
and/or you want to run your own affiliate program.
Amemberpro is also very cost effective. It only costs $149. one time fee for a lifetime
license of the software and $80. per year optional upgrades.
If you know how much if costs to custom program software these prices are incredible!
So basically you would need 2 wordpress plugins to do what Amember does already,
membership and affiliate management.
To run either Amemberpro or S2member + AffiliateWP you would need a LInux VPS
server. You can get one here.
I prefer the above solutions because all the above software are open source and have one
time payment options rather than monthly fees. I like to control my software and data.
Another simpler option to running your own affiliate program is to use an affiliate network
like Clickbank.
Clickbank will handle payments and payouts to your affiliates. This is much easier and
simpler for you but you have less control.
You also have the advantage of having your product listed in their marketplace. This can
attract some affiliates.
However, just being listed in the Marketplace is not enough. I find you need to recruit your
own affiliates.
I have chosen to manage my own affiliate program with my own software. The advantage
is that I have control over my affiliate database and that I can incorporate multiple billing
options.
PPV Traffic stands for pay per view traffic. You simply pay for traffic from an established
traffic network.
Usually how this works is that traffic network companies give away software or manage
websites with 1000’s of visitors. You are paying for full page views of your website on their
network.
There is usually some kind of keyword targeting available. However, this keyword targeting
will not be quite as accurate as Google Adwords.
The advantage is that pay per view traffic is way less expensive than PPC traffic from
Google.
The traffic often can be keyword targeted but you will not get the same level of targeting
from ppv traffic then you will from large networks like Google and Facebook.
The advantage of pay per view traffic is that it is way less expensive the pay per click
traffic on the major networks. You get many more times at bat.
You can pay as little as 1 cent per full page view of your site.
To give you an idea, a niche such as personal injury attorneys pay as much as $200. per
click on their Google Adwords ad! There still are no guarantees of conversions.
Personal Injury Attorneys Pay Up to $200. For 1 Click
From PPC Traffic. Pay Per View Traffic can give up to
20,000 visits for $200!
A typical pay per view traffic campaign could give you up to 20,000 visits for the same
price as one click on Google Adwords.
If you have a great page that converts and the targeting does not have to be as laser
targeted as on Google Adwords this might be a cost effective strategy.
In addition simply getting traffic to your website can help your search engine rankings.
Dead sites with no traffic usually get lost in Google.
I have websites where I have not done much SEO work that are highly ranked in Google
simply because of the traffic.
Even if the traffic does not directly convert it can help your site start to get noticed in
the search engines which in turn can lead to high quality search traffic as your site gets
ranked higher in Google.
Most people think, of course, of Google as their first advertising choice. However, smart
marketers might want to take a look at Bing.
Bing Has 23% of Search Market, Less Advertising Competition and Cost per click is 33%-42%
less than Adwords
Bing Advertising works on the same pay per click principle as Google Adwords. If your
keywords are very competitive then you will pay more.
The advantage to Bing Advertising is that your competition for the same keywords is much
less than Google Adwords.
Also, Bing runs your ads on Yahoo and Aol networks. Unless you are promoting a very
obscure niche which is not getting very many impressions on Bing there is almost no
reason to prefer Bing over Google.
The traffic is the same quality and the costs are substantially less. Here is an excellent
article on advertising on Bing for beginners.
26% of users make purchases after clicking a Facebook ad. Mobile ads were 94% of
Facebook’s advertising revenue. So make sure you include mobile ads as a major part of
your campaign.
Here is a tutorial from Santrell Marketing- FACEBOOK ADS [Complete Tutorial for
Beginners] – From Start to Finish.
Here is a blog post from Hootsuite: How to Advertise on Facebook: Complete Facebook
Ads Guide for 2021
27. Twitter Advertising
While TikTok is having explosive growth with young adults Twitter is dominating
conversation reaching the 30-49 year old demographic. Twitter had over 187 million
active daily user accounts.
Promoted Accounts and Follower Ads- This type of advertising promotes your entire
account as opposed to a specific Tweet.
Promoted Tweets- These tweets show up in search results, timelines and user profiles.
Linkedin audience is targeted to business professionals. It is especially suited for B2B sales.
You should ask yourself the question “Would a professional with a regular 9-5 job be
interested in my service or product?
Sponsored Content– These are similar to Facebook feed ads. They show up in Linkedin
feeds.
Almost 30% of users discover new brands, products and services through paid
advertising on social networks
Instagram reaches a staggering 1.2 billion people. This translates to 20% of the world’s
population over the age of 13.
Instagram ads are similar to Facebook ads that the ads appear throughout the app and in
the user’s feeds Explore, and Stories.
They resemble regular organic posts, however, they always have a “sponsored” tag to
indicate that the post is actually advertising.
These paid posts will also have call to action buttons, links and even product catalogs.
Make sure to completely fill out your profiles on all these platforms with well written
keyword rich description and links, wherever possible, back to your websites.
32.Use Social Media Share Buttons
Include social media share buttons on your websites and blogs. Make it's easy for
people to share your content. Sharethis is a site that I use for social media share buttons.
You can use these buttons on regular html websites or blogs.
They will get notifications and will come back to your content and will be more likely to
share your content. If they believe they have some sort of relationship with you they will also
be more likely to open your emails.
34. Create List Posts
Blogging is an excellent long term strategy to increase traffic to your website. You can
also use blogging in conjunction with other types of traffic generation techniques such
as video and email marketing.
I find that if I have a video embedded into my blog post that it seems to get ranked more
favorably in Google and Google video search.
Also, YouTube embeds are another metric YouTube uses to rank your YouTube video on
YouTube. Combining all these traffic generation methods creates momentum and synergy.
Consider doing list posts as well. Readers love them! This is a list post “57 Ways to
Increase Traffic to Your Website,” 7 Ways to Do This,” “11 Ways to do That.” You get the
idea.
List posts are easy for people to understand. It organizes the content in easy to digest
bullet points.
Here is an excellent article from CopyBlogger “7 Reasons List Posts Will Always Work”
35. Re-Produce The Most Popular
Content in Your Industry Using
Multiple Sources- Skyscraper
Technique.
The Skyscraper Technique is a technique invented by Brian Dean of Backlinko for increasing
traffic to your website. It works as follows:
1. Find a highly popular blog post or video in your niche.
2. Create and even BETTER version of this content
3. Promote the content.
I am using the Skyscraper Technique with this post. I found a very popular blog post on
ways to increase traffic to your website.
Then I found a number other high quality blog posts on the same subject of increasing
website traffic. If included my own ideas and experiences as well.
I cherry picked the best ideas and content I could find from the top experts on increasing
traffic and along with my own ideas I created a blog post which is actually better than any
of the blog posts that I had used for research.
You will start to become an expert on the topic. One of the best ways to learn is to
teach.
Review Influencers in your niche- Write a Blog Post Featuring Influencers and Their Advice
(Expert Roundups)
I am not talking about hanging out in front of their house. I am suggesting making a list of
the top influencers in your industry. Then immerse yourself in their material.
You can even take some of their top blog posts and review them with your own blog
post, video or podcast. If they suggest certain techniques, do them yourself and report on
the results.
If the top influencers have products or services review them and let the influencer know
about the review. Just using their names in the your text and headlines can attract
targeted visitors.
There is a technique called the Roundup Technique. This is where you interview top
experts in your industry, usually asking them similar questions, and then you report on
the responses.
37. Answer And Ask Questions
Using Quora
Quora is a question an answer site. You can post questions and answers. You can look for
topics that relate to your niche. You can includes links and even videos in your answers.
For example, I could look for Quora topics on how to get traffic to your website and
include some tips from this blog post. I could then include a link back to this blog post
for more tips.
The idea is first to offer value then at then end include a relevant link or video.
Here is an excellent video by John Crestani on How to Advertise on Quora:
It is not about postIng ads. So your content has to be original and informative.
If you have your own blog with original content you can syndicate your content on Medium.
The advantage of having your content on Medium is that it tends to rank well on Google
because the domain is of a very high quality.
You can put these hashtags at the beginning middle or at the end of your social media
post.
People search topics by actual hashtags and this can help searchers find your post
according to the hashtag topic.
Here is a screenshot of the above video by John Crestani which shows his use of
hashtags:
Notice he created hashtags according to the topic of his YouTube video. He also make a
hashtag out of his own name since many people are using the search term: John Crestani
I find it interesting that he put the hashtags and the end of the post. The idea is to help
with search engine rankings so it makes sense to put actual links that people click on at
the top of his description and SEO stuff and the bottom.
It would be much easier to rank for that string of keywords than simply “Miami Personal
Injury Attorney.”
Most likely you could write one article, or create one YouTube video with that exact title
and come up first that search every time simply because there are less people
competing for those keywords.
However, if you are a Brazilian Personal Injury Attorney near Coral Gables specializing in
motorcycle accidents then the clients you would find through this search would be every
bit as valuable as the competitive alternatives.
Most likely your clients are searching for long tail keywords related to your business. You
can find long tail keywords related to your business by using Neil Patel’s UberSuggest Tool
here.
Once you find the long tail keywords that relate to your content then you can create content
around these long tail keywords.
You will have an easier time ranking for those keywords plus the traffic will be ultra
targeted.
If you are using pay per click advertising your ppc costs will be less because these terms
are much less competitive.
There is software called “Expired Tumblr Hunter” that you can use to find expired Tumblr
blogs that are ranked for your keywords.
You can join this newsletter here and you will be able to download the software for free.
This can only help bring more traffic to your blog or website. Here is my “Traffic
Generation” category on wordpress.
Imagine having all your categories with keyword rich descriptions.This could only help
generate more targeted quality traffic to your website.
This is a great way to revive relevant content and attract new traffic to your website!
What if you created the ultimate FAQ section for your industry on your website.
Then every time somebody would search for an answer to a question regarding your
industry they will come upon your knowledgeable answers!
It is easier than you think to create a FAQ section using Google Answer Box and “People
Also Ask” sections of Google.
You probably have already seen this when you typed in a question into Google. It looks like
this:
You can keep opening up more questions and answers by clicking the little down
arrows. This should give you plenty of material. If you run out look at the FAQ sections of
your top competitors.
This is a valuable resource for followers in your niche and can easily get ranked in Google
for the various keywords associated with your services and resources. Here is the resources
page I created.
Here is a service that I have personally used which will not only create an infographic for you
but will submit it to many image hosting sites.
49. Write Reviews and Testimonials
of Products in Your Niche Let The
Website Know They Can Link Back
If you have products or services that you use all the time why not do an in depth video
review of these services?
This can attract even more traffic to your website including giving you more credibility.
Be sure to let the owners of the products and services know about the review. Perhaps
they can even link back in their resources sections.
Viral Marketing
50. Give Away Free Software
I have built a list of over 30,000 using just this technique. I created a suite of marketing
software and I give it away free as an incentive to join my newsletter.
In addition my landing page is written as a sales page not just as a simple landing page.
You can my sales/landing page here.
Also, within the software itself there is a splash page which opens up to another simpler
opt in page. My brand,Coolmarketingsoftware.com, is also prominently noted in the software
itself. People share the software and I get more subscribers that way as well.
So not only do I use the software as an incentive for people to join my list but the software
itself promotes my brand and brings me more traffic as people share the software.
Even if you are not a programmer you have have very talented developers to develop all
kinds of software at Freelancer.com.
They key is to know exactly what you want so that you can explain it to the programmers
who often are not native English speakers.
I have posted 100’s of projects on sites like Freelancer.com with great success.
If you can think of a problem that can be solved with software most likely it can be made
and you can use this software to bring you more traffic to your website.
I give my affiliates the ability to re-brand the ebook with their own affiliate links. You can
find them here. and here.
The affiliates give away the valuable ebook for free and if anybody clicks on the affiliate
links within the book then they get credit for the sale.
I will turn it into a re-brandable ebook and give it to my affiliates as an effective tool to
promote several of my affiliate programs: Classifiedsubmissions.com, ,Realppvtraffic.com,
and Coolmarketingsoftware.com
I use a php script called Easy Viral Pdf Rebrander. Even if you do not run your own
affiliate program you set up the ebook so that people can re-brand it with their own social
media links or websites.
Then they promote your valuable ebook which of course will promote your brand and
website.
Can you somehow incorporate the latest trends with your business somehow? Big
companies do it all the time with their virtue signaling.
Well if it is good enough for them why not get some action for yourself. See what is trending
and see if you can bring this together with your business.
53. Create or Participate in a 30-Day
Challenge
Here is an article on how to create our own 30 day challenge.
Are you ready to do something outrageous? Here are some publicity stunts that actually
worked.
These events generally get written up in articles in major local publications and these
highly ranked media stay live for years.
This can be a great credibility builder as well as traffic generation technique. Keep your
eyes open for opportunities.
56. Referral Marketing
Referral marketing is simply asking customers to refer you without offering a specific
commission.
Ask people if they “Do you know anybody who might need xxx product or service?”
Ask potential referrers for “their opinion” about your products. Then follow up by asking if
they know anybody who might benefit from your services.
Reviews. Ask your current customers to review you on Google and other directories.
You can also install a Tell a Friend Script on Your Website.
Do you know what works even better than SEO? Offering both free and paid online tools
and services.
Here is a video from Mega SEO guru Neil Patel who explains that his free/paid keyword
tool UberSuggest is his number 1 traffic source!
And this guy is one of the top SEO experts in the world!
I have done this myself offering free/paid advertising through my many classified ad
sites.
They generate 1000’s of organic visitors who then can in turn opt in to my newsletters
and purchase my other products and services.
There is a wonderful site called Codencanyon. This sites hosts software offers from a
multitude of quality publishers. Many offer so called ” businesses in a box” php scripts.
These are pre-made Software As A Service Businesses (SAAS.) From as little as $50 you
can purchase scripts that would cost you $1000’s to have coded.
These scripts are ready to start taking orders and generating traffic.
I have purchased many php scripts from Code Canyon and I have been very happy. All
you will need is a vps server for hosting and you can have a traffic and money generating
machine for less than $200 usually.
Incredible value for the create entrepreneur. Check out the video from Neil Patel and below
I have some ideas on SAAS businesses you can start for next to nothing that could
potentially drive 1000’s of evergreen visitors to your offers.
57. Create Your Own Business
Directory
Depending on your business model you can create your own business directory in your
niche.
For example if you were a personal injury attorney you could create a directory of
personal injury attorneys.
Yes, you would be advertising your competition but you can put your ad as the featured #1
personal injury attorney in your area.
The other listings from your competition will be there and will be improving the ranking
of your site. This is because there are searchers actually putting in the name of your
competition in Google.
When they do.YOUR directory will appear featuring your ad at the top as the number 1
ranked personal injury lawyer in your area.
You can do this for almost any niche. Creating authority sites in your niche can deliver
long term highly targeted traffic and bring awareness to your brand.
Here is a list of wordpress plugins that will allow you to quickly create your own business
directory.
There are preset scripts already created that you can set up and start your own traffic
exchange.
People come to your site to exchange traffic and they can see your offers when they do.
Also this can be a great business on it’s own and a way to build up your own email list.
Here are some traffic exchange scripts that are already created and ready to install
However, this can become a valuable property that you could even sell eventually on a
site like Flippa.
The most popular forum software is Vbulletin. This is paid software. However, there is a free
forum software called PHPBB forum software which is very popular.
Often readers are incentivized to click on links and will credits towards getting traffic to
their links by clicking the links of others.
You can charge monthly membership fees and for various upgrades.
There are pre-existing php scripts that you can install on your server to run the software.
You will probably need a vps server. You can get one here.
Have you ever used sites like bit.ly or tinyurl.com? These sites take long urls and
shortens them. Often affiliate links are long and cumbersome like:
https://www.classifiedsubmissions.com/a/aff/go/yourusername .
Well, services like bit.ly will shorten the url to this: https://bit.ly/3MtSWr9
A shorter url is more “friendly” to promote. Well, you can offer your own url shortening
service. Here is a script on CodeCanyon, which for $45. will run your own url shortening
service.
You could easily spend several thousand dollars hiring a programmer to code this for you.
It is amazing that you can get this software business in a box (Known as “Software As A
Service AKA SAAS) for just $45.
You will need a domain name and hosting preferably a vps server which you can get here.
I use this very script to give me customers to track traffic for Classifiedsubmissions.com and
Realppvtraffic.com.
These types of services attract lots of users. You can ask each to join your email list!
When their links expire you can re-direct the links to your own opt in landing page.
There are many such SAAS businesses that you can get for a song at Code Canyon. For
the creative entrepreneur there really are some opportunities there.
SMS/Text Marketing- Everybody has a phone and everybody reads their text messages.
The open rates for text messages and much higher than that of email.
Incorporating SMS marketing is an effective yet under used ways of increasing website
traffic.
Here is an article by Neil Patel on How to Effectively Use SMS/Text Marketing:SMS
Marketing Doesn’t Suck: Here’s How to Use it To Generate Revenue
You will need a SMS/Text Marketing service to manage your SMS campaign. Please visit
Slicktext to learn more.
63. Niche and Local Directory
Listings
Directories Especially for Local Businesses- If you are a local business the absolute
most important directory you NEED to be listed in is Google My Business.
These listings appear at the top Google Searches for local products and services.
Claim your profile and make sure you completely fill out all the information requested.
Include as many pictures and videos as possible.
Also, this is where your customers can review you. Make sure you get your customers to
review you on Google My Business.
Even in the description of your YouTube videos you should make sure your NAP is
exactly as on Google My Business.
Having many citations can help rank your Google My Business Page even better.
There are also many other local business directories where you can list your local
business. Here is a huge list of local business directories.
Incentivized Traffic
The people looking at your website are getting some form of compensation for viewing
your website.
Usually they are either getting paid money or they are given credits to get traffic to their
website.
If my offer is fantastic and grabs my viewers attention I have a very good chance of
converting this incentivized viewer into a sale.
I have generated many leads and sales through incentivized traffic. I have also
purchased products and services through incentivized traffic!
The main keys to converting incentivized traffic is knowing your audience and having
the right offer.
I sell mainly marketing tools. Most of the people looking at ads with incentivized systems
are fellow marketers.
This is actually a targeted audience for me so I am getting targeted traffic for dirt cheap.
I use a simple page with everything above the fold. My goal is simply to get them to
subscribe to my email newsletter which will follow up with automated emails every 4 days.
The next issue is my offer. It cannot be the same as everybody else’s offer. Usually I offer
something over the top for free which appeal to marketers. Right now it is usually free
software or a free ebook.
I use a simple page with everything above the fold. My goal is simply to get them to
subscribe to my email newsletter which will follow up with automated emails every 4 days.
Traffic Exchanges– There are both Manual and automated traffic exchanges. Manual
traffic exchanges operate on the principle that you get credits for viewing other people’s
websites.
Then you can use these credits for the other members to view your website.
Automated traffic exchanges are simply bots that you run on your computer to get
credits.
Almost nobody will see your ad.This type of traffic is just to boost the metrics of your
site. Here is a list of The 20 Best Traffic Exchanges for 2022.
Credit Safelists- With credit based safelists you join a list'and everybody emails each other
their offer. You earn credits by actually clicking on thecredit links in the emails.
The safelists I recommend in the safelist section all have a credit/incentivized component.
Members actually get credits every time they click on the credit link in the safelist email.
The clickers are real people on real computers so technically the visitors are 100% real.
Traffic and website activity are definitely factors that search engines look at when ranking
your website for your keywords.
This type of traffic can potentially take a dead site with no traffic and start to get it noticed
in the search listings.
I am able to monetize incentivized traffic when other marketers are viewing the ads
because my tools, software and services appeal to other marketers.
You can even sign up as a professional clicker and earn some money clicking yourself.
Searchseo.io is an example of a site which provides Crowd Sources Incentivized SEO
Traffic.
SEO Bot Traffic– There are services available where you actually pay for bots to visit your
website.
The goal of these services is to mimic actual visitors coming to your website and clicking
on various pages.
With these services you can choose keywords, different browsers, which countries the ips
are coming from, bounce rates and more.
Traffic does seem to be a factor in SEO. Websites with very little traffic generally do not
rank well for their keywords.
Webinars are a very effective way to generate traffic, opt ins and sales. Here is an article from
Pat Flynn and Smartpassiveincome.com on how to organize a webinar
If you have an angle maybe you can approach them about being interviewed?
If you do this enough eventually people will be seeking YOU out for interviews and you will
begin to make a name for yourself.
70. Create a Free Online Course
Online education is hot! You can learn almost anything online. I recently purchased a
course on how to program in Python.
Do you know how to do something? Create an online course and charge people to teach
them. Having proper online course will give you authority in your industry.
Many people who are looking to “make money online” get into the “make money online”
niche. However, you might do better simply creating a course about something you are
really good at already and that you are passionate about.
Are you good at fishing, fostering kittens, skin care, fitness, poker, camping etc? Here is
one gentleman who has created an entire online community around living in a van!
Your secret to riches may simply be teaching others how to do what you already love
to do!
Here is a tutorial on how to create and sell an online course. How to Create and Sell an
Online Course: The Ultimate Guide by Pat Flynn.
