Joseph’s Internet Marketing Tips

You need to drive traffic through multiple sources in order to succeed in your business. I believe wholeheartedly in media placement. But, you have to know where to place it in the first place. So this article is intended to let the readers know the top 10 traffic sources available.

Remember that each form of media you place builds upon itself and is like planting little seeds to create the whole. Or in other words drive traffic to your pages and ultimately build your business and make money!

1.) Search Engines- It goes without saying that the search engines or, in this case, organic traffic plays a significant role in driving traffic to your site.

2.) Writing Articles- Of course how do you get that organic traffic? One of the best ways is by writing articles and submitting them to article directories.

3.) Press Releases- Create a press release from out of your article and submit it to press release sites. There are free services and paid services. I recommend to start small and invest in a paid press release after you start seeing some response to the free ones you´ve placed.

4.) Joint Venture Traffic- Join forces with other marketers and cross promote each others product or services.

5.) Pay-Per-Click- Start ad campaigns with the major search engines. Test your and keep a close eye on your accounts so that you stay within your budget.

6.) Cost-Per-Action- Basically another form of Pay-Per-Click. Do your search on the internet and find the different networks available for this form of driving traffic.

7.) Cost-Per-View- Same as above except that you search for CPV networks.

8.) Video Traffic- You have already created an article and press release, turn these things into a video. Ten minutes or less is all it takes. Upload it on as many video sites you can.

9.) Podcast Traffic- Same as above except that you submit it to podcast directories

10.) Web 2.0 Traffic- Unless you have been living under a rock I am sure you have all heard about web 2.0. Link your video, or podcast. Socialize and invite people to read your articles and write reviews or comments.

That completes the top 10 ways to drive massive traffic to your business.

But as a bonus for reading this article I will give you two more.

1.) Social Bookmarking Traffic- What good does it do you to do all this work and have your article or post takes what seems like an eternity for the search engines to notice. By doing this you will create links and the more relevant links you have pointed to your site the higher your page ranking will be.

2.) Ezine Solo Ad Traffic- Invest a little money and get a solo ad. By doing this you can have the ezine ad companies direct your ads to as many potential prospects as you are willing to pay for. They have many different packages available. Find the one that fits your budget.

So now you have twelve powerful ways of driving traffic to your business. Get started. Do as many as you possibly can. Do them all at your own pace. Soon you will start seeing results and you´ll be glad you did!

In today’s article I decided to put steps seven and eight together because they relate to one another so closely.

Steps seven and eight in creating massive success in your business, are create a blog and a Squidoo/Hub page.

Blogs and Social Media pages are so valuable to your success. I can´t stress that enough.

Through these media you are creating more fresh content that the search engines lust after. And in the case of blog, 250 to 350 words is more than enough. Many blogs rank high in the search engines without being anything more than basically a conversation. Information about what people are doing. You, of course, would put a spin on it and talk about what you are doing in your business.

The real beauty of creating these pages is that you can use all the other media you have already created and embed them directly into them. In the case of your blog you can even have links directed to your site without any conflict of interest.

Now, I do not recommend that you overwhelm your readers with advertisements for your business. Your readers are there for information. If your blog starts looking more like a sales page you will only drive people away. So provide more than a sales pitch. Provide solutions to their problems.

These are very popular sites because they work! If you are trying to drive traffic to your sites, then I urge you not to wait on these steps.

Do a search online and find out how to create a free blog. You will want get a hosting account and many hosting companies offer programs that will literally set up your blog with just a few clicks of your mouse.

Setup accounts with Squidoo and Hubpages. Follow their instructions and viola, you now have three more forms of media to get your information out there to the masses. All of which can be linked back to your site.

Not only that, but by adding your video onto these sites, your page rank and relevancy go up exponentially.

Back links are obviously an advantage in using these forms of media placement. As you create your post, lenses, and pages. Be sure to ping them accordingly. This is nothing more than letting the different search engines know that you have provided fresh new content.

There is one other thing I will touch on in relation to these types of media.

You will soon be establishing your presence online. You will be offering insight as to who you are and forming relationships with potential prospects.

I almost forgot. Do yourself a favor and put an optin box on your blog to gather information. You will want to get the name and email address at a bare minimum.

This way, you will always be able to contact your prospects when you have some new information or product you would like to pass on to your readers. If they are already fans of your post/lenses, you can be sure that they will eagerly open up your emails when you contact them.

Well that´s it. There is only one more step to massive success in your business.

Now that we have submitted our video to video submission sites, what do you do next in your quest for massive success in your business?

If you have been following my articles, then you probably already know the answer. If not then let me tell you and save you the suspense.

Rework and turn your Article/Video into and audio broadcast and submit it.

That´s it! This is exactly what the so called “gurus” do. They take one form of media and reprocess it into different forms of media. In other words just repackage it and sell it again.

There are literally millions of ipod users out there that are tuned into and waiting for exactly what you have to offer.

This is convenient for lots of people if for no other reason that it is so portable as opposed to video. (Even that is changing rapidly with the access of video on cell phones.)

But the best thing about this step is that there is so little work involved. If you already have your article and video then you can literally read and record the article or take the sound file from the video.

All that is left now is to submit it. Again this is not rocket science. Go online and search for tutorials on uploading podcast. As is my habit, I have provided a link for a video tutorial on my blog.

You can click on my link in the resource box and go directly to my blog. Look for the link for uploading a podcast.

Now of course you can always hire someone to record it for you and if you like they can even write a script to your satisfaction. If I were you, I would try to do it myself first. There is nothing like learning and experiencing it for yourself.

However, if you really are uncomfortable doing such things and you have a little money to invest, then by all means hire professional voice talent. There is the advantage of saving time. Believe me I know how it is. Maybe you have a job and family and your time is limited. Rather than release a sub-par recording, pay a little and make it the best it can be.

In the end, prospects have to get the sense that you are trust worthy and can help solve their problem. Whatever it is.

Audio is a wonderful and unique tool in your campaign to massive success. Don´t put it to the side because of lack of confidence or time.

I can remember as I was getting started in the business of internet marketing. I had no idea which direction to go in or what program I should become a part of. A lot of times the determining factor was hearing the voice of someone that made all the difference in the world. Perhaps you have experienced that as well.

So I hope that has helped alleviate some of your fears.   If you want to build success in your business feel free to contact me. You will find my email address on my blog as well. I will be glad to help you in any way I can.

Look forward to you checking out the next step to achieving massive success in your business!

What are the top secret SEO tips?  The truth is there is no secret.  There are only true facts on how you should optimize your blogs, articles, ads or whatever.

Most important is the content.  Content is your best vehicle for driving traffic to your pages.  Quality content will keep traffic flooding to your door.

Research your material.  Find an authoritative voice to learn from and always provide unique content to your readers.

Makes sure you use links.  Back links add value to your site for the search engines.  But don´t just stuff any links into you content.  Be sure that they are related to your subject and are helpful to your audience.  You disperse them in your content or provide a helpful resource box with all your links in it.

While we are on the subject of links, use text links on your website.  When you use image links then don´t give them a name in your alt tags instead give them a number like”jpg 1″.  This way when the image is not relevant the search engines will not count them as ”relevant” to your website. 

Remember that rating number one is not neccessarily the best place to be in the search engines.  When you are placed at the top you typically get a lot of “tire kickers”.  Aim to be somewhere around 3rd or 4th.  the people who tend to look further down the page tend to be more targeted traffic.

One way to rise in the rankings however is to provide fresh content on a regular basis.  Search engines love new content and you will tend to rank higher with quality fresh content supplied on a regular basis.

Go for keyword phrases and not just single keywords.  Again more targeted traffic tends to search for keyword phrases than just one word.

These are just a few of my top secret SEO tips.  If you would like to learn more then visit my blog at:
