So you've created the world's next big product which you're deadly sure is going to blow everyone away. You've put your website online, you've set up your payment system, and you wait for the sales to start rolling in.
...But nothing happens.
Why? You're missing one thing - It's what I like to call the "Traffic Ultimatum" concept.
Traffic is the lifeblood of a business - both online and offline - and without it, you might as well have not even created a product, because nobody will ever see it! But where do you start?
Here's a list of the top 3 secret traffic sources to get you started...
1) Article Marketing
Writing articles is possibly THE best way to not only show your audience that you're the authority in your niche - but also to generate a boat-load of traffic. After all, value is based on perception, so if they perceive your articles to be well written and read-worthy, they'll consider you to be respectable and therefore the authority, often resulting in a visit to your website.
So how does it work?
It's simple - just write an article on a small subject area of your choice within your niche, and give the reader some value they can take away and use instantly. This way, they'll remember you for being helpful, too. Don't forget to put a link to your website in the resource box at the end of the article, also stating the benefits they'll get for visiting your site.
The biggest myth about article marketing is that you should only submit them to EzineArticles.com, but that is not the case. You should always diversify your marketing, which is especially the case for article marketing.
Distribute them to several different article directories with varied titles, as the duplicate content rule mostly does not apply here (but only as long as you have the same author name on each website), and some article directories will get you more traffic than others based on the article's content.
2) Email Marketing
Fancy getting traffic at the push of a button? Let that button be the 'send' button!
Email marketing is the fastest and most long-term method of generating constant and repeatable traffic, often resulting in profits which are higher than average.
In fact, it's a simple process. Just send your traffic to a squeeze page which contains an opt-in form linking to your email service (AWeber is usually best), stating a benefit for the visitor to enter their details. Then you're free to market to them through email - but act responsibly!
For example, for the latest launch of George Brown's Traffic Ultimatum, email marketing will allow me to broadcast an email message to my subscribers and notify them of the launch.
3) Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
"Search Engine whatta-what?"
Search Engine Optimization is both the art and science of getting high rankings in the search engines, primarily the major ones such as Google, Yahoo!, and Bing.
Although many factors contribute to a long-standing position on the first page of Google for a keyword phrase (preferably with a high amount of traffic), the most important thing is relevancy. If your website isn't even relative to the subject you're trying to get ranked for (some people call this "on-page SEO"), you have very little chance of succeeding.
After you've "optimized" your webpages (technical jargon for "making them awesome"), you need to consider off-page SEO factors, such as how many websites link to you, how popular they are, and more. The general rule here is to get high-authority websites to link to you, often resulting in a higher search ranking for yourself, too.
4) Conclusion
So put these traffic strategies into action right now, and watch your website's popularity grow.
