How To Generate A FLOOD Of Free Website Traffic

When I look back on my 12 years of being "an Internet marketer" one topic has earned me more money, and caused more online marketers incredible frustration, than any other.
That topic is actually getting visitors to your website and converting those visitors into customers.

The great fact is that without website visitors you really AREN'T in business.

This whole traffic generation "thing" is incredibly simple though. You just need to identify where a LOT of your ideal customers are, and then you need to be highly visible there.

Your website visitors, and future customers, find you by following links sprinkled across the web. So, the secret is to get your links in all the right places.

Since time is the most limited resource that most of us have, although some of us think that it's money, you have to do things in the most efficient manner. You need to get the greatest ROI on your time, and this is where a large percentage of marketers do things wrong. They spend all of their time doing things that produce very poor results.

The facts are:

1) Only a few search engines generate the majority of search engine traffic. So if you can get prominent front-page listings on those search engines you'll get your share of search engine traffic. If you can get numerous top-10 listings on the top search engines, your traffic from the search engines goes up exponentially.

Imagine for a second owning the top 10 positions at Google for your keyword. A random visitor searching on your keyword would have a hard time NOT clicking on one of your links.

2) Only a few top video sharing sites get the majority of traffic in most niches. That tells me that you need to focus on the top 20-30 sites when submitting videos.

3) Only a few top article sites generate lots of high quality traffic. This has proven true for me, and for many of my friends who generate six-figures per year JUST from "article marketing."

4) The major search engines give "extra points" to news sites, and things that they consider "news." That's why you'll often see the news sites at the top of the listing for your keywords.

That's also why you absolutely MUST be submitting press releases to those news sites.

Another reason is that your "clueless" competitors aren't noticing that the press releases and news sites often show up before the other search results.

The way to actually generate a flood of free, highly targeted, website traffic is to submit a lot of articles, press releases, videos, and podcasts to a lot of top-ranked sites. You want to submit so many, that when someone searches on your keywords it hard NOT to find an article, video, press release or MP3 podcast that's YOURS.

In case you haven't noticed, when you do a search at Google, and the other major search engines, the results are often a mixture of all of the above media. Google no longer returns just static html webpages in the organic search results. They know that traffic to video sharing sites is growing faster than about anywhere else, so they constantly crawl and index the video sharing sites.

You had noticed that - hadn't you?

The secret is that you need to submit a lot of content to all of these places in a high concentration. That's how you dominate the search results.

However, it's almost impossible to do that by hand.

Even if all you did all day long was visit article directories, or video submission sites, you could only submit to a few places in a day. It's just too tedious, which is why I personally use software to do it.

More correctly, I use an automated submission site.

I've used about 2-dozen different sites for submitting my videos, podcasts, articles, and press releases in the past. Today, I do 99 percent of my submissions through one site because it's cheaper, more efficient, and gets us the "concentrated firepower" that we need.

I use a site called "Easy Pushbutton Traffic." There are others out there. However, none of the others allow me to submit all four media (videos, audios, articles and press releases) in one place.

I don't have the inclination to learn numerous different interfaces, pay for numerous site memberships, and visit DOZENS of sites. Remember, time is our most limited resource.

Prior to discovering Easy Push Button Traffic, I actually HIRED people to submit my articles, videos, press releases, and podcasts. I'd create a video for example, and then I'd pass it to an assistant, and have him upload it to 20-30 sites (using an automated submission service that was just too confusing for me to figure out).

Today (as in this day), I'll submit several videos, several articles, several press releases, and several audios. I'll do it myself because I've set aside part of today just for doing that, but also because it's become FUN creating and submitting content, and then watching the increase in my search engine rankings that often happen in just a few hours.

Anyway, the secret to an amazing amount of free website traffic is "volume." You want to submit a lot of content in multiple mediums (since different people prefer their information in different formats) and it needs to be submitted in a high enough "concentration" to break through the clutter.

Now that you've confirmed the secret, a secret that you already knew intuitively, the only remaining question is "now what are you going to do with the information?" If you want to start seeing a lot of traffic, you'll take massive action TODAY, while you competitors aren't paying attention.

The MOST Powerful Marketing and Advertising on the Planet!

The MOST Powerful Marketing and Advertising on the Planet!by Matthew Hesser It sounds too simple to be true, but it really is... A well-targeted and timely PRESS RELEASE to the media is the most powerful form of marketing and advertising on the planet! A high quality press release, with the proper targeting and distribution to reach the correct media members, could have many businesses sailing on a sea of new sales and profits. Just one feature or a mention in a popular or targeted business publication has the potential to cause some business's phones to literally be ringing off the hook! The next big question that arises, "How do you go about writing a quality press release that will grab the attention of the media and your particular audience?" Here are some tips to help you succeed: Pick a "Newsworthy" Angle. Press releases are not an advertisement. Do not try to sell your product or service. Do not use "hype" in press releases. Instead give the media what they want and they will give you what you want. Now, what the press and media really want is a story! Just provide the Who, What, When, Where and How with regards to the uses of your products and/or services in a story format. Show examples of ways that people have used your products and services to their benefit. If you can include some emotions in your story all the better. Ask yourself: "Would this be something that I might read in a newspaper?" Get a Good Start. The headline and the first few sentences of the first paragraph are the absolutely most important part of the press release. If you don't catch the reader's interest here you will lose your audience. The best way to do this is to use your most hard-hitting information FIRST rather than build to a climax. This may be opposite to what you would normally do when writing other material - but it does work! What follows in your press release are the details that SUPPORT your story or theme. Write to the Media. Remember, a journalist, editor or reporter, not necessarily a client, is reading your press release. It's not your job to sell them your product or service. It IS your job to give them an interesting story or piece of news that they will be happy to share and announce to their audience. Keep your release short and to the point. It should contain no more than about 500 words and no more than two pages. Include your contact information. Provide full contact name, company name, full address, phone number, email address and Web site URL. The contact name should be someone who is knowledgeable and available to answer any questions by media members such as editors, reporters and journalists. Targeted press releases to the media have helped thousands of companies succeed. They are the most powerful form of marketing and advertising on the planet! Remember: One article is all it takes!

Finding Your Home Business Niche

Finding Your Home Business Niche
by Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy

When some folks begin to think about a business of their own, they know in that very moment what kind they are going to start. Then, there are the rest of us...
Knowing that we want to have a business of our own is not enough. Many of us have struggled with the important question of what type of enterprise we would like to start.

Franchises offer a simple pre-packaged money making idea, but the cost of a franchise often makes it a prohibitive option to most folks who contemplate going out on their own.

For those who do not have a million dollars to buy a McDonalds franchise, we must look to other ideas for our own business.

There are literally hundreds of lucrative home business ideas for you to choose from, which will suit every type of personality and all levels of financing. From selling information on the Internet as a infopreneur, to growing delicious gourmet mushrooms for sale to restaurants and catering companies; there is a pile of money to be made by filling a need, for these and a host of other necessary services.

Of course, actually liking what you do, will have a lot to do with the success of your new venture, so be sure to pick a home business that you'll enjoy running and that will keep you motivated.

For example, if you're a math whiz, an accounting or income tax service might be the ideal home business for you to start. Perhaps writing is your forte and you'd like to start your own home based copywriting service or advertising agency. Each of these businesses can be run successfully--and profitably from the comfort of your own home.

Academia might not be your cup of tea, but maybe you are good with your hands --- having a creative genius where crafts are concerned. Craft items are red-hot sellers at swap meets, country fairs and world wide over the Internet, and they can provide you with solid profits. If crafts don't interest you, then why not start a laundry service with pick-up and delivery, or a shopping service for shut-in's--even a companion service or granny sitter or a doctor shuttle service; any of which, could be much in demand, in and around your neighborhood or community.

When brainstorming new ideas for your future home business, keep in mind the soul of any successful endeavor is providing a product or service that others will actually purchase in quantities. Satisfy the needs of your target market, and your target market will keep you and your home based business healthy, happy and profitable.

Below are some suggestions for home business ideas that might help you decide on a suitable venture in which to invest.

Multi-level-marketing (mlm), floral/plant service for offices and hospitals, pooper-scooper service, dog walking service, answering service, vending machine service, gift basket service, homemade soap maker, mobile windshield repair service, mobile tire repair service, income tax specialist, researcher, freelance writer, business card and letterhead designer, courier, shut-in/shuttle service, landscaping service, tree trimming service, wood crafter, carpenter, crafts and crafting supplies, pool cleaning service, plants/nursery starts, growing herbs, growing mushrooms, garage sale and swap meet vendor, proofreader, private investigator, typing service, interior decorator/designer, website design, wedding consultant, hot lunch/snack vendor at local courthouses, pet sitting service, pet grooming service, Internet entrepreneur, paralegal, gourmet catering service, new media production, mobile cosmetic technician, mobile nail technician, mobile hair stylist, aerobics instructor, personal fitness trainer, advertising consultant, companion service, small printing service.

Ideas, ideas; hopefully the above ideas will give you some fresh ideas of your own to mull over. A spring board if you will, on which to dive into your own chosen home business.

When you work from home, any business you start has the potential to explode into a perpetual gold mine! It just depends on how much your home business is in demand around your community or on the Internet. Your home business might start slow and steady, regularly picking up clients as you become more established. On the other hand, your chosen home business may take off like wildfire, quickly becoming too hot for you to handle by yourself (well done!). This is the time to enlist the help of willing family members to help you out in your time of need, which will make your business into a friendly, family concern. This will also help family members better understand your business and get a grasp on the mechanics of profit.

Good luck in all your decisions and have fun with your home business, which ever one you choose, and don't forget to enjoy your newfound freedom!
