Marketing, Linking Without Spending Your Hard Earned Cash




By Steven Jones

Getting quality visitors to your website and getting them to trust in what you are selling must be the hardest challenge I believe on the internet. I know because in my first year of internet marketing I have lost $100's of money I dont have on marketing. When I first started out I thought you just buy say 10,000 visitors from a quality traffic site and people would sign up to my programs. Boy was I wrong.

I could not understand why my program was not selling. I thought it must be the program I am involved with so I went on to another affiliate program. Same thing happened again, no sign ups. I then asked my sponsors, "what is the secret". I would get told that it just takes time to become established. I now believe that is nonsense.

I have recently stumbled on a program written by Joel Brought on & Paul Birdsall. After going through a 21 day step by step course, I now believe I know what to do to be successful. Internet marketing is about duplication. Like Mcdonalds keep selling burgers you need to keep selling your business, but not through cold selling, why?,

Because You need to create trust. People need to know that they wont get left in the cold once they join. Good ways to do this is through forums. If you consistantly contribute to high traffic forums you build up a following. This is great because it is free and if you have a URL in your signature file of your site, then people will want to see what program you are involved with giving you exposure and ultimately sign ups.

Another great free way to get visitors and again gaining trust is to blog, Why publish a blog? Publishing a blog allows you to instantly create new content-rich web pages. These new pages can be linked to from the home page of your current website and/or promoted separately. By creating additional content-rich website pages and promoting them from your home page or through other means, you will be accomplishing two important things:

1) You'll provide more value for your website visitors. This increases the "stickiness" of your website making people stick around longer and ultimately trust you more. On the Internet, trust translate to profits!

2) Search engines LOVE fresh content created through blogs. By publishing your own blog and adding fresh content to it on a regular basis, you'll attract the attention of the major search engines who will list your website in their directories for FREE. That's right! As soon as you have pages of your blog in the search engines, you'll start attracting free qualified traffic to your site without paying a dime for it. Remember, Google Adwords? Imagine running a large and comprehensive Google Adwords campaign without paying anything for it... That's exactly what you can accomplish by publishing your own blog! These are just a few ways to attract high quality visitors for FREE.

3) Linking to high traffic sites is a natural and cheap way to get visitors. I highly recommend http://www.link2me.com/. You really need to get qulity inbound links to your site from highly visited websites. Remember to check the Google PR and Alexa rating, especially the amount of visitors the site gets. Also make sure it relates to the content of your website. You can sign up for FREE and link up to to 5 high traffic and ranking sites a day. Here you will be able to check actual Alexa ratings.

Be warned, Google PR (Page Rank) does not reflect the amount of real visitors a site gets. Use Alexa for this. If you need any help just contact me at the top of this page and I will answer your questions to the best of my experiance. I hope unsuccessful or new Home Business owners find this useful and give you hope. It can be a lonely business and hard to find trust. For a superb insight into successful marketing then please take a look now on my second page for great marketing knowledge and an in depth interview that I am personally still learning from by an author called Corey Rudl.
