I’m sure you have been through this confusion. You built a website in order to promote it and make money from internet, you spend money and time sitting hours and hours and one day after few months when you didn’t make a single dollar you realize that all this internet business and online marketing staff is hype. Right?

WRONG!

What you’ve done wrong is tools and promotion techniques you used. And let me be more specific:

1) Remember services promising 10.000 visitors to your site for 20-30 dollars? They also promise that they’re unique real and targeted visitors. They ensure that they have unique IP addresses! To be honest they do bring these amounts of traffic to your site but what they don’t tell you is that you won’t have a single sale! Why? Because most of them use software, traffic robot scripts or traffic exchange programs. The outcome is that no one is going to buy anything from you or even subscribe to your newsletter. After all this kind of traffic is not targeted. So I suggest you avoid these services.

2) Another case is free traffic programs (you know, you click your browser you see a website and you get your site viewed by another user), or even more you have automated hits programs where you sign to 5-10 these kind of programs, you sit and wait for huge traffic to load. The truth is that you get traffic, you watch your counter stats exploding but when it comes to sales, not even one! Why? Because if you think you are only one who thought about signing to multiple traffic programs and do at same time something else you are mistaken. Other internet users thought that too! So don't! It’s a waste of time.

L.A.F.S. stands for Little Ads For Success - specifically, business cards. Most people's idea of a business card is more of a calling card. It has their name, their company's name, their phone number, and maybe their address or their website address. Typical card. I'm not talking about using your typical card, either.

Think of your Internet marketing techniques. Aren't they all designed to either get someone to your website or get them on your list? That's purpose of L.A.F.S. Just like your ads on Web, these little ads exist only to get someone to your website.

But how?

You could offer a special incentive on your card, like a discount that only card-holders can get at your site. People always like to get a great deal.

You could offer a free gift that only card-holders get just for visiting your site. This gift needs to have a high perceived value, so that your prospect will remember that he wants to visit your site to get that special gift. Put a code on card that enables them to get this gift, and you will also be able to track results of your L.A.F.S. Put a different code on each design, so you know which ones work best.

You could also make them curious about your site. For example, one of my L.A.F.S. simply asks:
