7 Traffic Techniques for Network Marketers
By Amber
Barth
Network
marketing is a numbers game. The more people you introduce to your
opportunity, the more money you’ll make. To start generating a
steady stream of traffic to your site, try these 7 creative
techniques:
-
Write
and Distribute Articles, Reports and Ebooks. Internet users are
all interested in one thing – information. Use this to promote
your business by creating high quality content and allowing others
to reprint it for you. One great way to do this is to distribute a
brandable ebook or special report. This is one that a website or
list owner can change to include a reference to their website.
This doesn’t mean that it looks like they are the publisher,
it’s just a way for them to include information on where the
ebook was downloaded from and (if applicable) to include their
affiliate link for your products and services.
-
Participate
in Newsgroups, Forums, and Mailing Lists. There are hundreds of
forums online and you can find one for almost any topic
imaginable. Most allow you to include a signature line that will
be attached to every message. This is a chance for you to
advertise your site. Visiting these forums to post thoughtful
questions and offer your expertise will mean your signature is
viewed by others and will bring you free, targeted traffic. Of
course how much traffic you get depends on how often you post and
whether your signature makes people want to visit your site. A
good approach is to use an ad you’ve had success with elsewhere
as your signature.
-
Join
Networking Sites to Build your Personal Network. Networking sites
are designed to make it easy for people to meet others in their
industry and to advertise their products and service. Similar to
offline networking events where lots of people come together for
the sole purpose of meeting people, online networking sites work
the same way.
-
Use
Classified Sites and Traffic Exchanges. Classified ad sites and
traffic exchanges have gotten a bad reputation, but they really do
work if you know how to use them. If you’re promoting a product
or service that advertisers can benefit from then they’re a
great place to get traffic. Although not very many consumers visit
this type of advertising sites, lots of website owners do in order
to make sure their ad appears on the site. While there they
can’t help but notice other ads and if one catches their
attention you’re likely to get a visitor.
-
Run
a Contest. People love the prospect of winning something –
that’s why a contest can be a great traffic generator. The key
is to choose a prize that will attract people from your target
audience. If you make the grand prize a new laptop you’ll get
entries from everyone who would like to win a new laptop (which is
basically every computer user in the world!). Get more targeted
traffic by choosing something that your target audience is
interested in but wouldn’t mean much to other people. To start
promoting your contest do a search in Google for “Contest
Directories” and you’ll find lots of places to list your
contest for free.
-
Include
a Powerful Signature on all Outgoing Email. Every time you send a
piece of mail you have the potential to get a visitor to your
site. Simply create a “signature” that is automatically added
to every outgoing message. Use the signature to briefly explain
what you do, give your USP or slogan and add a hyperlink to your
site. Once it’s set up you don’t have to think about it again!
-
Try
Newsletter Classified Ads. There are lots of newsletter publishers
who give classified ads to new subscribers. Although these don’t
typically bring a huge response, they can generate some traffic if
you offer something with a high perceived value but low price tag.
They’re also a great way to test new ads to see which ones get
the best response. Once you’ve found a winner use it in a PPC
campaign, make it your new email signature, run it as a top
sponsor newsletter ad or use it as your forum signature.
