When you first start out in Internet Marketing, one of the biggest questions you probably have is how to generate traffic to your website.
Some things you can start with are:
- Classified ads – visit Affiliate Referral Sources for a list of popular sites.
- Blogging – get your own blog and write articles to generate traffic to your site. If you do not have your own blog yet, visit the Website Managers Blog Hosting page.
- Article syndication – write unique articles and post them on places like EzineArticles.com, ArticleAlley and ArticlesFactory.com. While using programs like Instant Article Wizard can help you generate articles for your blog, the articles you write for the article directories must be unique and will be rejected if any of the content appears to be duplicated.
- Comment on other blogs linking back to your site
- Participate in discussion forums. You will have an option to put an small add and link in your signature that shows up whenever you post a response or ask a question.
- Record a video and post it to YouTube using popular keywords for the tags. It can be any type of video. Funny and instructional videos are usually most popular. When you create the video, use a program like Camtasia Studio to display your website URL on the movie.
- Join Yahoo! Answers, add links in your profile and answer questions. When you do, there is a box where you can link to your resource for the answer. This will usually be back to your site. Be careful here though, because entering an link unrelated to the question can get you in trouble.
As you can see, marketing online is not an easy task. It takes patience and focus to get the job done. Once you get it going on a schedule, the traffic will continue to grow.
Just make sure you are leading people back to a lead capture page to get their contact information.
