The lifeblood of your website (or marketing efforts) is targeted traffic to your product. When you write blog posts, articles for publication in electronic magazines and electronic reports, you can also place them on your website and in other places on the web, such as Facebook and LinkedIn. In this way, you are putting breadcrumbs on the Internet, a path to your site/product.
By locating online publications that are already targeting your target customers and putting up your guest posts, articles or free reports with them, you are mining a well of prospects who are already leaning in your direction.
That way, you’ll find your prospect market stream and tap into a stream of prospects who are already there, rather than using a scattershot approach to find those who are already interested in what you have to offer.
When using article writing for targeted traffic, you’ll want to try to write a minimum of 2 articles per week, at least 300-600 words in length, but if you could squeeze in 4 or 5 articles per week consistently, you’d end up with 208+ to 260 articles of fresh information in just one year.
And if you put those articles on, say, just 3 three sites like e-zine sites, a Facebook page, or LinkedIn, in a year you’ll have your presence in over 700 locations on the Internet.
By writing consistently every week and keeping your articles going, you can generate up to 100 targeted readers for your site in a day. Perhaps more so if you provide information that is really valuable to your potential customer.
Other sources of targeted traffic you’d like to include in your marketing arsenal:
interest (where you create ‘pins’ that link to your site or affiliate product),
search engine optimization (that you will make part of any written articles, web pages, blog posts, etc. so that people looking for your content will find it),
Facebook (putting “like” and “share” buttons on your site, linking posts on your Facebook page to your site, Facebook ads, etc.)
Twitter (a micro blog platform that allows 140 characters, you can put a twitter button on your site to get twitter traffic)
your own blog (having your blog is one of the best ways to get consistent web traffic, plus you can put your articles on your blog as posts as well as on your facebook page and ezine sites)
marketing forums (get involved in forums related to your niche, google “your niche” forum – “weight loss forum” or “golf forum” for example and get involved by answering questions, there are other considerations like making sure they allow your link in your profile for them, but we’ll get into more at a later time.
These are just a few of the many sources of traffic for your website/affiliate marketing that are also covered at https://JosephsMarketing.com/traffic.
Keep in mind that statistically you should expect only 1 in 100 people to buy your product or service. If with your email sequences and writing guest blog posts and articles, Pinterest and Facebook efforts, etc., you can generate, say, 1,000 targeted visitors to your website per day, you could expect to make more than 10 sales per day. And all with traffic that costs you just a few hours a week.
