Creating Profits OnLine - Marketing Yourself First

I’d explain that the primary benefits of the concept of “increase targeted website traffic” for free by saying this…

Since you already operate some type of online business, you have a global opportunity at your fingertips to cut your monthly advertising expenses dramatically, and start creating profits online fast….

You can integrate Squidoo lenses into your overall marketing campaign to not only increase free targeted website traffic, but increase sales too….and, remember, the targeted traffic is free forever.

I recently read an article by Dereck Gehl that answers a question I get asked almost daily:

• - How do I get free traffic to my website?
• - How do I get better results from search engines?

He says it better than I ever can –

Here is a brief excerpt from his article:  

“… because you’re SEVEN TIMES more likely to get a visitor through the organic (free) search engines than through a pay-per-click ad!

You can’t afford NOT to spend as much time as possible improving your site’s overall search engine performance.

With that in mind, here are my TOP THREE recommendations for improving your free traffic using the search engines…”

OVER 2.5 YEARS AGO:

I recently discovered an article written by Steve Pavlina over 2.5 years ago, thats an eternity in the internet world, talking about how to build a high-traffic website or blog that starts with the following quote…..

“Since posting my 2005 traffic figures recently, I’ve received many questions about how I was able to start this web site from scratch and build its traffic to over 700,000 visitors per month (Jan 2006 projection) in about 15 months — without spending any money on marketing or promotion.  Building a high-traffic web site was my intention from the very beginning, so I don’t think this result was accidental. My traffic-building strategy isn’t based on tricks or techniques that will go out of style.”  …..Steve Pavlina, Jan 24, 2006

He went on to outline ten (10) suggestions for building a high-traffic website

- Create valuable, original, timeless content (3)

- Treat visitors like humans, write for them, be your real self, help people first (4)

- Know your [WHY], what your truth is, and live with consequences (2)

- Keep money in proper place (1)

To summarize, I believe he said: Be true to yourself, provide real value,help others through your writings, and by understanding your own uniquenes, the rest will follow.
OVER 2.5 DAYS AGO

I also suffered through the onslaught of hype online recently promoting the latest launch of website traffic building products or courses such as Traffic Secrets 2.0, and Traffic Manifesto 2.0 - both of which are excellent products by the way…..both focus on how to get more and better traffic to your website, through regular quality content distribution, as well as covering all the latest ‘technological” methods using Web 2.0 social sites, and more.

They each have their own marketing strategy, and distinctive price points, $397, and $37 respectively, and both are selling extremely well according to the buzz online…

OVER 2.5 MINUTES AGO

I remembered, we can all benefit from studying and applying what other successful people teach, but we must not lose sight of our own very real [WHY]….

Do you remember what your [WHY] is?

Read the rest of Steve’s article and maybe you will realize [WHY] that  [WHY] is so critical to your own personal development and success…….

The more things change, the more they remain the same…..

There is so much stuff bombarding our email inbox every day we often lose “perspective” to what our “lists”are seeing from us….Do they really need another email from us  as we “piggy back” somebody elses product launch….

After all the “program owners” are  just “hiring” as many affiliates as possible to advertize, and market their product for them for lets say 50-75% of the sale..and the affiliate is footing the big expenses….  and they all create massive emailings to all their lists………hence a another wave of emails pushing the same $97, $197, $997, $4997 product

Here is a comment I got in email yesterday from Jack, after he realized he had unsubscribed from one of my lists by mistake…

 Comments:
“I think i just made a mistake but am frustrated by too
much email. It was automatic and is getting more common
with me when I see anything that asks me for money.”….Jack McFarley

A blunt reminder, about whats going on currently in internet marketing…and by the way it was the first email I had sent that list in 3 weeks……so there must be some balance out there……but nevertheless, my list suffered from being bombarded by others offers……….the list member is just like us………..they have a DELETE button too…

So how do you differentiate yourself from the herds of “experts” flooding the inboxes of the world….

I specialize in “unbundling” those large all encompassing fits all sizes product offerings into small bite sized reports about very specific services that are actually needed by people out there trying to solve a specific problem or fill a specific users desire in their special are of interest.

I actually learned in my previous life that “small specific services” always prove to be more cost effective than what the industry experts package together to market to us as the all encompassing magic potion for all our wants…

Take 2-3 hours  and discover “the top 5 ways to boost your web site profits this weekend”  is the jist of  one of these small digestable reports… Take a look and see if it fits the description

So much for my rambling…let me know what you think…..vote with your comments or delete!!

Have a great weekend!! 

Every website could benefit from an additional 100, 200… even 500 visitors a day - especially if you didn’t have to pay through the nose for them!

Those extra visitors translate into spendable cash… and I get excited about that.

However, if you’re like most others including myself, you’re not a search engine expert and you don’t have an bottomless advertising budget.

Also, you know that traffic schemes like “safe lists”, FFA links pages, and “exit traffic” exchanges simply don’t work. You have probably tried them at some time too

So what do you do? (more…)

Step 1 - Getting Started - Create Profits On-Line Fast!

Are you like a lot of network marketers… you have a dream, you want more for yourself and your family, and you truly believe in the concept of network marketing, but you just are not making enough money again this month.

You have tried a few more than one or two companies over the past couple years, and once again you find yourself with the same old problem. You are spending more than you are making, its taking too much time, your spouse is not impressed, and you are frustrated.

You have made your list of everybody you know since you were conceived, you have bought a zillion leads, mailed emails seems like forever.

You have done everything your up line has taught you, but you just do not have enough people who really want to talk to you about your product or opportunity.

So how can you turn this around this time? (more…)

Most online business owners, internet marketers and network marketers, tend to shy away from the concept of article marketing because they perceive it as too much work, or they often do not feel they can write well enough, or simply do not understand it. (more…)

For anyone new to online business, finding those website visitors, and customers can be extremely difficult .

Do you really want to spend hours upon hours of frustration caused by trying everything you can imagine to get traffic flowing into your site, because you are really not sure what you should be doing. (more…)
