Now before we jump into the various avenues for marketing and advertising your website, there’s one step we must take in order to put success on our side.

Doing this one simple step can easily save you countless hours of frustration and thousands of dollars from being flushed down the drain.

Step one in getting targeting traffic to your site is …

#1. Understanding your target market:

Before we do anything, it’s really important for you to take the time to know and understand who your target market is and what emotional hot buttons to push in order to get them to take action.

Knowing your market like the back of your hand will greatly help you stay fresh and interesting. Which helps to keep their attention on you and increase your sales and recruiting efforts.

Please don’t underestimate the importance of this first step in your overall marketing strategy and gameplan because done right, it will greatly influence how you market and what you say in your marketing.

With that said, let’s talk about specific marketing tactics you can use starting right now to drive traffic to your site.

#2. Article Writing:

Writing brief articles with good, original content that is of interest to your audience can be one of the most effective marketing tactics you can use.

A good article does a whole lot more than just drive quality traffic to your site. It can:

• Position you as the leader your prospects are looking for.
• Pre-sell your prospects on giving your products a try.
• Pre-sell your prospects on joining your team.
• And more!

Once you’ve written your article, simply post it to the various article directories found across the net (Article submission software if very handy for this chore).

TIP: Don’t forget your resource box! Be sure to write your bio (keep it short) at the end and direct readers to your site (use your website url)!

#3. One Way Links:

A simple way of getting your site noticed by the search engines is to get quality (and relevant) sites to link back to your site.

Getting links to your site is actually much easier than it sounds. For example, when you write an article and include your resource box at the end.

Sites like Squidoo, Hubpages and WordPress can be a great source of links (and traffic) to your site when done properly.

Regularly participating and commenting in forums and blogs that are relevant to your business (don’t forget to set up a link in your signature) – can also drive a steady stream of quality prospects to your site.

Just be sure to think before you comment or post!

I hope this article was helpful.

Please don’t be shy in asking me any questions or sharing your thoughts with us.

Yours for more profits.

The 3 sites are:

- scribd.com
- docstoc.com
- slideshare.com

So what’s so exciting about these sites you ask?

#1. They’re free to use. Which is great for those who have a tight marketing budget.

#2. Hardly any networkers know or use these sites – so that gives you a huge leg up on your competition.

#3. You can upload just about any document you want and it will be automatically converted into a PDF file and instantly available for viewing and downloading.

This is VERY EXCITING because not only will people read your article, they’ll also download your documents and share them with their friends – thereby helping you spread the word about your business, and before you know it, you’ll start getting people who have never heard of you or seen any of your ads start visiting your site in droves!

In case you still don’t “get it” – these sites give you the ability to create a viral marketing monster and explode your business practically overnight!

And finally …

#4. All of these sites allow you to track the downloads and see which documents are the most popular!

Now do you see why I’m so excited to share these sites with you?

But before you go off and start posting just anything, let me share with you two simple tips to help you get the maximum value from these sites:

Tip #1. Don’t post rehashed or poor quality content.

People go to these sites for quality information. So post quality information. Remember, whatever you put online is a direct reflection of you and your business philosophies whether you realize it or not.

Do you want to project a successful and professional image or a sloppy and unprofessional image? Post accordingly to your answer.

Tip #2. Keep it short, sweet, simple and to the point. Your post and “freebie” shouldn’t be the next War and Peace.

You want to give people the meat and potatoes quickly. But you also want to tease them a little in order to get them to visit your website.

It’s a fine line to walk because on one hand, you want to give away great information, but on the other, you want to hold back a little in order to encourage and entice them to visit your website and opt-in.

A great “trick” is to offer an extra bonus secret or gift at the end of the report, all they have to do to get it is visit your website and opt-in.

Hope this helps.

Yours for more profits.
