As well as driving more traffic to your site, your ultimate goal here is to build your list. I have no doubt that you have already considered how to encourage people to join your list and have some kind of freebie or incentive for them to sign up with you. The issue is therefore getting the traffic in order to get the sign ups – right?
So here I am going to cover some really quick ways to build your list which you can then use to leverage extra traffic. It’s very difficult when you are starting out in this industry as you are trying to draw people in before you have anything to offer. One of the techniques that we are going to discuss is how to work with others to generate some amazing traffic. But before you can do that you need to have a list – even a relatively small one.
Now, every other technique that I have used so far has been completely free. So if you have implemented them and started to see some traffic, hopefully you have started to see some success that you can draw from to get yourself a little advertising budget. Once you have that budget I strongly recommend that you spend it on solo ads.
Solo ads can be one of the most cost effective advertising options out there. The price does vary depending on the number of people your ad is going out to, however for around $200 you should be able to drive enough traffic to add a good number of subscribers to your list. Do this a couple of times and you will be in a position to really be able to use your list as leverage.
If you have the budget to run two solo ads then you could develop a list big enough for our next technique in less than 30 days. But do take your time to do your research and make sure that you are only running solo ads with people who have received good feedback from others. There are lots of places where you can search for options but a good place to start is at The Directory of Ezines - directoryofezines.com.
Before you go ahead and follow this technique I really recommend that you complete some in-depth training on getting the best results from using solo ads. You don’t after all want to waste any of the small advertising budget that you may have.
I have no doubt that there will be a good amount of training freely available out there if you look for it. Just take the time to verify that the training is from a credible source and it not quickly put together rubbish only to suck you in to buying another product.
If you are not already member of a community out there I highly recommend that you join one. There are lots of membership sites that you can join. Although this means paying a monthly fee, you can gain access to not only a huge number of hints tips and ideas; you can also access some incredible, thorough training that is regularly updated.
The fact that it is regularly updated is very important as this industry changes so quickly. A technique or strategy that worked amazingly well one month can produce very little success the next. You also have sites out there that regularly change their approach or rules towards the content that you can post with them meaning a strategy from an older training document or guide that you implement could end up getting you banned from that site. A great example of this is Youtube. They have very recently tightened up their approach in terms of the content you are able to post resulting in thousands of Youtube accounts being shut down with no opportunity available to open another. Yet there are still any number of Youtube training guides, books and courses out there that although were giving valuable content a year or two ago are now teaching you to do nothing other than get your Youtube channel closed down!
By being a member of a community you can be assured that you are getting honest, reliable and up to date information and training regularly. Another additional benefit and probably the number one reason that people join such a community is that they often offer something even more valuable. I am a member of a community that not only gives me some of the best training, updates and support that I could ever need, it also provides me with an amazing lead generation system that operates completely on autopilot. Therefore it is helping me to develop myself, my ability and my expert status while pulling me in lead after lead after lead for free!
If you want to learn more about this and how it could massively benefit your business then head over to my blog and select the tab ‘My Lead Generation System’. That will give you all the information you need. I would love for you to join us and connect with me in our community.
