We all know that generating traffic to your site is creating a
flow of visitors, but what is targeted traffic? Targeted traffic
simply refers to visitors who are actually interested in the
topic of your product or service. Targeted traffic will greatly
out produce non-targeted traffic in terms of open rate, click
through rate, and sales conversions rates.
I'd rather have 10,000-targeted leads than 1,000,000
non-targeted leads. Emailing a bunch of people who don't care
about what you have to offer is a waste of your time and theirs.
This technique is now commonly referred to as Spamming. Spamming
can get you in trouble and cause you to loose your ISP.
There is absolutely no excuse for Spamming these days. There are
many other legit methods for marketing your products or
services. Email marketing is still one of the most cost
effective forms of advertising on the Internet, but it must be
permission based or opt-in email marketing. Opt-in email
marketing will produce much greater results than unsolicited
email or Spam.
Building your own list is an intimidating task for many people,
but it is very easy to do. Basically you must capture the email
addresses of people who visit you site. This can be done by
offering them a bonus and getting them to subscribe to your
newsletter. The second step is to stay in contact with your list
by providing them good information through a weekly newsletter
or monthly bulletin. Make sure you provide your list with good,
valuable content.
By building a list of subscribers, you will be building a
targeted group of potential customers that you can use to offer
your own products or affiliate products to. You can also use
your list as leverage to participate in joint venture with other
ezine owners and Webmasters. Your list is a powerful thing.
Another great way to build your list and actually make money at
the same time is to sell your prospects information and then add
them to your list. This list will be superior to your freebee
list because it will be made up of customers who have already
proven themselves to be buyers and are interested in the types
of products that you are offering. You will also want to stay in
contact with this list as you would any other one, by providing
a newsletter or bulleting.
One very important thing here that I must note; in order to sell
information as you build your list you must be able to generate
the targeted leads to advertise to. I have found an excellent
system for generating over 2,000 fresh leads a day. These are
not just any old leads either; these are real people who are
active Internet marketers. How do I know? They are in the
process of posting ads when they agree to receive email from me.
For the information that I sell, these are the most targeted
leads that you could ever find.
This technique of producing targeted traffic in known as reverse
marketing and it is very effective. I have a coordinated
portfolio of FFA networks that produce these active leads for me
every single day. The way that everything is setup allows me to
easily and quickly collect my email leads everyday. I also have
everything setup so that I earn a nice residual income from the
same companies that help produce the leads.
You couldn't ask for a sweeter combination here. Income and
email leads that you actually need. There is one source that
will teach you everything that I have mentioned here in much
greater detail than I can get into here. This source will
explain to you all the techniques and resources that are needed
in order to for you to generate all the traffic you can handle
and build income at the same time. If this sounds like what you
are looking for then don't waste anytime, start learning now.
