Quick Traffic Tips To Get Your First 1000 Visitors

This is a follow-up from my last post: Quick Affiliate Marketing Tips That Don’t Cost A Penny.

In my last post we discussed how you can pick a niche product on Clickbank and generate some quick affiliate commissions.

The response to that post was great, so I thought I’d share a little more with you guys

This time I want to show you some tips to generate your first 1000 visitors … for free!

The Importance Of “Digging”

One of the tips I gave when searching for keywords was to “dig down” into a niche to find easier keywords to rank for.

Even though they may have a lower search volume, they also have much less competition, which makes them ideal for getting some quick traffic.

If you’re still relatively new to this, the key to your success is going after smaller, less competitive niche markets, rather than trying to compete for terms like “internet marketing” or “make money”.

It’s SOOOO much easier to get traffic with 10 low volume, low competition keywords than it is to focus on one high volume, high competition one.

So if you’re looking to make some quick affiliate commissions, you MUST stick to niche markets.

Using Multimedia For Instant Targeted Traffic

In the last post, I suggested creating a Squidoo lens (page) to create your affiliate product review.

This method is useful because (a) it’s free and (b) Squidoo pages rank very high by themselves.

Now we need to drive traffic to that Squidoo lens.

Step #1 - Articles

This is the cornerstone of most of my marketing strategies. I gave you a list of places to submit to in the previous post, but we are going to do a LOT more with them this time.

If you want to submit to more than 10 different places I would suggest rewriting the articles to make them unique.

This can be done either by creating new ones from scratch (which is a lot of work) or using a free service like www.JetSpinner.com to create hundreds of unique versions easily and quickly.

You can then post unique versions to different directories and other “web 2.0″ content sites.

(For a large list of web 2.0 sites, visit: http://www.go2web20.net/)

Step #2 - Videos

Video sites like YouTube and Google Video get enormous amounts of traffic (and also rank highly in the search engines).

You can easily create a video by turning your article into a powerpoint presentation and then recording your screen as you talk through the article.

If you don’t have MS Office to create a powerpoint, try a free alternative at OpenOffice.org and if you don’t have Camtasia, grab a free alternative at CamStudio.org

Take your video and submit it to multiple video directories (for free) using the service at TubeMogul.com

Don’t forget to put your keywords in the title and also put the URL of your Squidoo page in the description box.

Step #3 - Submit Your Slide Show

You can take your powerpoint presentation you created and submit it to SlideShare.net

Be sure to include a link to your Squidoo page in the presentation and a call to action at the end to get people to visit.

Step #4 - Audio and Podcasts

You can take the audio from your video recording and upload it to different podcast sites like PodcastDirectory.org, PodcastingNews.com, PodcastAlley.com

Step #5 - Bookmark Your Submissions

As well as bookmarking your articles and Squidoo pages as discussed last time, you should also use SocialMarker.com to bookmark some of your videos, podcasts and powerpoint presentations

Step #6 - RSS Aggregators

Your Squidoo lens also comes with an RSS feed - the format is:

http://www.squidoo.com/xml/syndicate_lens/your_lens_name_here

For example, if your lens is:
http://www.squidoo.com/olivegardenrecipes

Your RSS Feed is:
http://www.squidoo.com/xml/syndicate_lens/olivegardenrecipes

You can submit your RSS Feed to places like:

Feedagg.com
Feedage.com
FeedsFarm.com
Feeds4All.com
Feed-Directory.com

Submitting your feed can get you more backlinks and help your pages rank higher in the search engines, as well as getting indexed faster.

The important thing to remember is that all of this content should be based around your chosen keywords for your niche affiliate product.

All of the above steps can be done with little work, and all from one “base” article.

If you research your niche keywords correctly, and use them in all of your content pieces, then very soon you will start to see traffic and sales at your site.
