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!

So let´s bring this series to a close. Our nine steps to massive success in your business has by now put you on the right track.

This last step will tie everything up so to speak.

Our last step is to Bookmark your Links. That applies to your video links and your article links. This is a tried and true method used by many successful online marketers.

By using this tool you will create more links thus ultimately boosting your ranks in the search engines.

What is the advantage of using a book marking site? Well, it two fold.

1.) This tool allows you to save your bookmarks online. That way you can visit them from any computer.

2.) It allows you to move in the direction of automating your business. You see, you could manually create links, but, it is much faster and more effective in the end to use these social bookmarks.

Every time you submit an article, video, or blog post you should then bookmark them. By doing so it notifies these sites that you have new content. They in turn put it out on RSS feed to all there members and sites interested in your content.

So again, do some research online for bookmark sites. Once you have found a few you need to follow the instructions to create an account login and password. Enter the link and create a description based on the content you are submitting.

I suggest that you place the keywords appropriately in your discription and most importantly your call to action. Now all this may seem a little complicated but it isn´t. The sites literally lead you through the necessary steps. And in no time at all you will have completed one and you can move on to the next.

It is also important to consider outsourcing this step on your road to massive success in your business. As I already stated, it´s not hard but it can be time consuming.

It is also important to note that there are normal bookmarking sites and video bookmarking sites. Some do both. Be sure to submit to both types of bookmarking sites.

Now that you have all these powerful steps, you might want to consider other forms of media placement.

You should be open to all forms and see what works best for you and your business.

By trying as many forms of media placement as possible you will not only learn the best forms of marketing for your business, but you will also create momentum. Once the ball gets rolling there is no stopping it because you will know how to keep it rolling.

Other forms of media placement include, but not limited to, Classified ads, direct mailing, email marketing, pay per click, business cards, word of mouth, and many , many more.

Whatever you do to promote your business, track it to see what works and what does not. If it works repeat it on a bigger scale. If it doesn´t work get rid of it and put your efforts and investments toward things that are getting you results.

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.

So now you know what to do when using Yahoo Answers, what are some of the things you should not do?

First and foremost make sure that your weblink is related DIRECTLY to the question.
I mean really, don´t you get frustrated when you click on a link and the site has nothing to do with what you are searching for?

A good example of this is quoted by Tracey Edwards of http://www.answerstraffic.com: If someone ask you a question about exercise that does not mean that you can send them to your diet pills website.

They are both a part of the losing weight niche but they are not related.
You don´t want to be labeled a spammer.

Next make sure that your answers are unique to the questions ask. Don´t give out a carbon copy answer to every question related to your subject.

Give detailed answers. Naturally you want to drive people to your link, but if you just add a link saying for more info “click here”, people will see it as a sales ploy. In fact the more you make prospects click around, the more likely they are to get frustrated and look somewhere else.
