You may be a Blogger, an affiliate marketer or a webmaster . Driving Traffic to your pages would definitely be at the top of your agenda. Today I’ll talk about some really powerful methods through which you can drive an instant rush of traffic to your desired web pages.

1- Offering Free E-Courses

People spend 1000s of dollars on self-education and learning material, so if you can provide this for free they’ll simply love you for it. You can prepare a set of videos or text modules in advance and password protect it. Just provide the login details to only those people who subscribe to your RSS feed or those who take the pain to at least go through your web pages. This method is extremely powerful and can bring in huge traffic especially when your courses are highly desirable. Additionally, you’ll work on setting up the course material only once and then reap the benefits forever.


2- FREE EBOOKS

Just like E-Courses, people love e-Books. So if you have a weight-loss blog – you can try publishing a 15 page .pdf report on weight-loss tips. You’ll definitely attract lots of attention. It is very important to get review copies of your e-books from reliable sources and create hype around your offering. It is necessary that your readers perceive it as a valuable gift in order to achieve best results.

Additionally, you can consider distributing the ebook with free ‘Private Label Rights’, this means that the people you distribute the ebook to will able to resell it or give it away for free by re-branding it. This will allow your ebook to go viral and become an automatic lead generation machine!


3- Guest Posting on Popular Blogs

Guest Posting is a very popular phenomenon these days. You write a detailed article (high quality) and then request the top blogs in your niche to publish it as a Guest Post with a link to your web page/s (usually in the Byline). This way the blogger gets high quality content for free and you get a powerful Backlink and lots of visitors. Always remember the higher the quality of your guest post, the more readers you will attract.


4- Distributing DVDs with Promotional Videos

This method can be expensive but extremely POWERFUL. It is more appropriate for promoting high payout affiliate products than promoting your SITE or your BLOG. The idea is that you create a DVD with video advertisement and promotional material and then use a DVD duplication service to replicate 100s of copies and mail them out for free to interested people. This method has real high conversions. The cost per DVD + shipping is usually around the $2.5 .


5- Local Newspaper Ads

Advertisements in your local newspapers can both be extremely effective yet very cheap. The ad should ideally be a one liner with your URL in bold letters. Try to make it as interesting and informative as possible.


6- Forum Posting:

This is the easiest method of all. Just sign up with the top forums in your niche and start as many in-depth discussions as possible. Also note that debatable topics attract the most attention on forums. Don’t forget to include your link in the signature – because this is where you’ll get the visitors from. You have to realize that people will only click on your link if they like what you say – spamming won’t help.


7- Leveraging Notice Boards

This is the oldest form of advertisement I could think of. It needs no explanation at all.  Create interesting and comprehensive ads on Ms.Word and print them out. Then simply put them up on all accessible notice boards (colleges, universities, etc…)

increase-subscribersBlogging is one of the new innovations of the Internet world. It is the new instrument or method for the general online population to convey their thoughts, ideas, products and services to the community at large.

Blogging, interestingly can be viewed in the same mould as cake baking. When the cake tastes good but is not attractive – smudged, no fancy decorations and designs, the cake will inadversely be passed off. Without the physical attraction of the cake, no one would know that the cake tastes good. The design of a blog can be viewed the same way. Without a good design, the visitors and subscribers will be kept at a minimal level.

Below are some handy tips to maximize your blog subscribers:

  1. Make it short and simple
    This is one of the best ways on how you can capture readers’ attention. Write descriptive headings for your blog post. Your content should be relevant and very timely. When posting articles, it should be within 1000 words because the more text you enter, it is possible that your visitors will be turned off. The keywords should be relevant and more usable to what is being conveyed to the readers.
  2. Comments and Suggestions should be encouraged
    A well written blog or post requires comments or suggestion as this will help to maximize the visitors. They will be interested in subscribing to your blog if it is an interactive blog that they can interact with you. Suggestions from the readers are also important because you will be able to connect with them and they can share their ideas and opinions about your blog.
  3. Catch readers’ attention
    When you post topics on your blog it is important that you create a catchy topic. It is akin having a conversation with a friend. Use only simple and understandable language so that the readers will not be bored reading when they find words that are alien to them. Do not use jargons or big, deep words.
  4. Build rapport with your readers
    You must create a rapport or build trust with your readers. For example, if the readers leave comments on your blog, it is important that you reply them. By doing so, you are creating an online community. This is important to maintain and maximize subscribers to the blog.

These are among some of the tips that you should bear in mind when you want to increase the number of your subscribers and visitors. There are hundreds and thousands of blogs that are born all over the world everyday. The most important thing is that you must make a difference and show your readers that they are important. Constructive criticisms and feedbacks should be welcomed with opened arms. Use it to correct the flaws on the blog. With all these mentioned, you will be on your way to maximizing your blog subscribers.

Promote Affiliate Programs Through Your Own Google Adwords Campaign

Did you know that Forbes magazine has reported that pay per click ad sales are expected to increase to at least an astounding $8 billion by the year 2008? Pay per click though still unfamiliar to many, will be around for a very long time. One of the search engine giants to capture a lion’s share of this market is Google through its Google Adwords service. A few ebooks like Google Cash and The Definitive Guide To Google AdWords provide basic and advance knowledge on releasing the incredible power of pay per click campaigns especially as this applies to businesses and affiliates around the world. Big businesses are still the largest group to benefit from incorporating pay per click in their advertising budgets but, home-based businesses and affiliate program promoters can benefit too if they understand how to use this tool.

Pay per click search engines provide a way for you to basically buy your way to the top of search results for any keyword you wish. Pay per click advertising works thru a bidding process, and your ads appear in the results pages of search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Ask Jeeves. With Google Adwords you bid on the keywords you want to focus your ad on. For example if someone were searching on “gourmet coffee”, if you’re the highest bidder for “gourmet coffee” you receive top placement for that phrase and depending on the search engine, the top 3-5 bidders for that phrase also receive placement on the first page of unpaid search results.

With Google Adwords the “ad campaign” is everything. When you sign up with Google Adwords you have unlimited campaigns at your disposal. I enjoy promoting affiliate programs and in the past I spent a lot of time deciding which keywords I would bid on to attract buyers to my affiliate programs. The only tool I use right now is Ad Word Analyzer which saves tremendously on time and gives me an overview of my keyword and/or keyword phrase as it was searched on the top two pay per click search engines Google and Overture (now called Yahoo Search Marketing).

Now that you’ve done your research and you’ve collected your keywords and/or keyword phrases, you’ll need to open an Adwords account.

1. To do this go to https://adwords.google.com/. There is a one time sign up fee of $5 and your username and password are emailed to you.

2. Now you can log into the system and select “create a new campaign”. Give your campaign a name that will also allow you to create multiple campaigns.

3. Before creating your first ad, I recommend that you print out Google’s set of guidelines, ebooks such as Google Cash cover this area as well. Since most of you are probably promoting affiliate programs, it’s important that you notify Google of this by simply adding “aff” at the end of your ad text.

A few tips to keep in mind:

a. To keep your ad targeted, make sure your keyword or keyword phrase is in the headline.

b. Put your keyword or keyword phrase in the text of your ad.

c. In promoting your affiliate program, make sure you’re linked directly to the owner’s website thru your affiliate link so that you’ll get the credit and the cash!

Now you can submit your ad and start tracking your campaign over the next few days. If you’re not happy with your ad’s performance you can make changes such as targeting other keywords or increasing your bid a little at a time. Adwords is flexible in allowing you to make changes within Google guidelines of course, to make your ad campaigns successful.

Pay per click is here to stay and it offers a high level of assurance that your ad is reaching your targeted audience. With the proper management and a clear vision, pay per click specifically Google Adwords, can provide you with well targeted and economical advertising on the internet.

As mentioned earlier pay per click ad sales are expected to increase to at least $8 billion by 2008, with Google Adwords, the right resources and a little effort on your part, you can also benefit from this increase and find yourself with a significant supplemental income each month or a fulltime “leave my 9-5 job” income. The sky is truly the limit with pay per click.

Starting Your First Blog And Getting Revenue For It
EngIhab

Mar 2009

Do you want to start a new online business? Do you know about blogs? Blogs are one of the best – cheap ways to get publicity for your business just in days. Its very easy and really cheap. You only need a niche, some content, and webhosting (or just can use some free blog hosting like blogger.com)

Ok, blogs.. blogs.. do you know that you can start it today? And that you can get huge traffic for this blog?

You can start your online business in just minutes by creating blogs. A blog is an instant advertise solution for your own – online business. You can create it today and start adding new content to it (called “entries” or “posts”). When you create a new post for your blog, most “blog scripts” ping major “ping services” for you at the same time that you post the entry. Ping Is a free service to “send your blog entry notice” to search engines and lot of websites that use this service to know when a new blog is online, or just when a blog is updated. WordPress or Blogger (and more providers) ping your blog after you post a new entry.

Every day, thousands of new “webmasters” create new blogs, and use this blogs to get real income, using for example Google Adsense. Do you know that lot of “bloggers” earn thousands of dollars every month with blogs? Just search Google, you will find lot of articles and comments about bloggers` incomes!

You can start your blog / online business today:

1) You need to create the blog, you can use www.blogger.com as free blog hosting, or just get a new hosting in some good Hosting Provider and install your own Blog, using WodPress for example, get latest version  here: www.wordpress.org . If you selected last option, you will need a domain name, you can get one for low price, go to Godaddy (www.godaddy.com) domain names starting from $5.95. If you don’t want to spend money, just select blogger.com, its free, and you will get a new “subdomain blog” like (yourblognam.blogspot.com) Remember, blogger.com is owned by Google, so you will get indexed faster :)

2) Select the name for your blog, and most important, select your Niche. Don’t create a new “general blog” where you will post info about internet business, webhosting, domain names, and more, if you select a niche, your blog will get “visitors” that only want to read this niche, and also, you will get more targeted and relevant Google Adsense ads in your blog.

3) Get content to post, just go to some Article Directory, and find the best articles, take it and post to your blog. Remember, don’t delete any info, or copyright of this article, you can take it only if you don’t modify it. I prefer write own content, to avoid that people read always the same info, and also the “Duplicate Content Penalty” that Google and other may apply if find that your site Is 100% similar to others.

4) After you created your blog, posted some fresh content and designed it (or just use some template, its most common) you need to “monetize it”. Its very easy, you only need to go to Google Adsense (www.google.com/adsense/) and join for a free account. Be sure of enter your correct info, because if you are new “adsenser”, Google will check your blog and after it will decide: Approve / Reject (only one day) After Google approved it, you just need to go to Google Adsense Home Page, login and copy & paste your Adsense Code where you want that Ads be displayed.

5) Promoting Your Blog: After all above points, you need to promote your blog, just submit it to all niche-related or general blog directories. They will send you a lot of real traffic. You also can submit your RSS feeds to all RSS directory found. Submit your blog to Google, Yahoo and MSN. Contact more bloggers about your niche and offer link exchange, post in other blogs and forums related and use your link in your signature and much more. Just use your mind, you can get lot of visitors free day after day to your blog, and with more visits, more Adsense income :)

Remember: you will need to post every two / three days a new post to get more fresh content, be original, write it, don’t just copy & paste. After two weeks you will see that your blog was approved in most “Blog directories” where you submitted it, that people is visiting your blog and sometimes they post comments or send feedback, and most important you will see like your Google Adsense Stats get impressions, clicks and $$$

Blogs are only one way to get online revenue, there are many other ways. If you want to see latest articles and resources for online business, just go to my own blog http://www.waysofmakemoney.com and you will find lot of fresh content about Online Business and also updated list of directories, rss directories, and more great tools for your business. You also can join to my Free Newsletter to get latest info directly to your email every week.
