7 Things You Must Do If You Want To Increase Your Traffic By Jo Han Mok Gary Halbert once said that
ONLY advantage he wanted when it came to selling burgers was not a better sauce, or better grade of beef, but a STARVING CROWD. Simple concept, but not many get it.
1. Find and Know Your Starving Crowd
You can have greatest product in world, but still sell squat if no one wants to buy your product. Who are your potential buyers? Do you know them like back of your hand? KNOW your buyers. Head down to http://www.Overture.com, type in your keywords and take furious notes!
2. Power Position Yourself
Understand that people online are looking for information. They don't want information from just anyone. They want good, solid information from people who have been there, done that. If you can provide valuable advice to your prospects, you can be sure that they'll begin to trust you and develop a RELATIONSHIP with you. And just how do you position yourself as an expert? Easy, Become one.
Once you develop a reputation as an expert, traffic will come in flocks. People NEED help. Help from experts. Are you an expert? : - )
3. Create an Epidemic
Imagine this. What if you could get a super salesman to spend 24 hours everyday, 7 days every week, 52 weeks every year, for rest of your life... a salesman who never gets sick or tired and all he does is direct hordes and hordes of targeted traffic to your site?
Don't even try to estimate astounding value someone like this would bring to your business.
It is possible, and it's called viral marketing. It's most powerful concept on Internet. Many have tried using it and many have failed miserably.
People have this misconception that as long as they have an ebook that is "brandable", it constitutes a viral marketing campaign.
They are dead wrong.
4. Steal Traffic from Someone Else
Got you. Of course, there are ethical ways to do that. The most powerful way, is through a JV or Joint Venture. A JV does not mean shooting an email to someone in your field of high repute saying "Hey, wanna do business with me?"
You're in for a big disappointment if you think that's gonna work. Your potential JV partner is a human as well, and chances are, he/she is a SOMEBODY in your field. So make your JV proposal as benefit laden, and "hands free" for your potential partner as possible. Recognize your JV partner's accomplishments, be generous with your praise and above all, be sincere.
