How To Get More Traffic to Your Website

Wow, where to start?
Firstly, no one ever gets enough traffic, that is a given.
Traffic comes basically in 3 different ways.
1. Paid
2. Free
3. Viral
When looking at paid traffic sources, the first one that comes to mind is PPC (Pay Per Click). The leader in search engine traffic is Google, by a long shot. There are many other search engines which receive a bunch of traffic, but if you can master the art of advertising on google adwords and making a profit, you are better than most marketers. I have made a ton of money with google in the past, but it does not appear to be so easy and so straight forward ....which is where you can pay for courses, membership sites, or a coach who will help you all the way. If you are looking at a good latter resource, I do recommend http://tinyurl.com/coach4PPC
The free videos alone are worth a visit.
Free comes in all shapes and forms, writing articles, press releases, twitter, youtube, Back Page (Automate your postings with this tool), craigslist, podcasts, forums....etc
Whichever method you choose, you should maintain a level of activity to prove to your audience you are for real and not a fly by night. Repetition makes perfect and will build your list.
Viral. When others like what they see, they will share it. Some of the social netowrking sites include: Digg, Technorati, Facebook, Twitter but there are so many more. You can add a bookmark and share link to your website/blog by going to : http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php and http://www.twitthis.com/ and click on tools.
The Biggest Mistake Networkers make:
This will be revealed in the next post.
Hope this helps

ಠ_ಠ ► Good News / Bad News?

We have heard it all...
Bad news travels further and faster, and no news is good news.
Negative advertising works? Or does it?
So which one is true?
I decided to post a whole bunch of ads, to see once and for all, which ads had the most opens and then the most clicks, leading to the most optins. Would the "Bad News", negative ads out produce the "Good News", positive feeling ads? All the popular reasoning would point to that direction.
Well after 400 ads a piece, the conclusion my little experiment came to, was that actually the good news, feel-good, postively spun ads actually did a tad better than their negative counterparts, both in opens, clicks and optins.
But the real news is, that the ads who mentioned MONEY, $ amounts, and incomes, out performed both good and bad news subject lines by a lot. The number of clicks leading to verified optins more than tripled over the other two groups. However, the more "real" and attainable the potential incomes were, the better the results.
Maybe that result was to be expected in today's economy.
This was not a scientifically held experiment, just my findings after 1200 ads, but for me at least, I will continue using headlines which work, for me.
Hope this helps you.

What is a Feeder Program?

Most home based businesses offer a low start up option to get started in a business, where you can work your way up, to a higher status within the company and so get to reap the larger commission rewards.
Geberally a feeder program is unrelated to the primary program, which is generally really inexpensive to join and produces a viable income producing revenue source, enabling the client to save up their commissions in order to "get in" to the main program at a higher level and so earn the larger commissions.
With regards to Platinum One Destinations, yes you can join with only $49 and become an affiliate, but you will need to pass up 5 sales in order to become a Silver EMA.
Theoretically every sale would be worth at least $500 to you. Currently you can join at the Silver level for $1200, pass up one sale and become Silver EMA qualified. Yes it costs more to get started, but you will be in an earning postion sooner.
I know you are asking, so get to the point, which feeder program do I recommend to make money from home?...I highly recommend the following no cheat affiliate program http://www.852k.com/ with just about $60, a one time cost for the entire first year, you could be earning $100 commissions (on each $60 sale) over and over again. Currently I am making at least 1-2 sales per day, some days much more, which translates into most of our main monthly expenses being paid with a program which cost me the same as an ordinary dinner out with the family.
The beauty of the system, is that I will make your websites at no cost if you join with me, and I will also make the sites for your clients (yes I am great, but I also have a software program which makes the sites within minutes)...and the product is incredible...you will love it and use it for many other reasons not just for this program.
Go to the site and check out the video proof of real earnings. You could be earning, $6K/month, $16K a month and the video shows even $50K being earned in a month.
If you need to add a program to your earning basket, this one should not be missed.
I have spent $thousands on CD's, mastermind groups, mentoring newsletters, membership site programs which were supposed to teach me how to make a bundle from home, yet this little program has given me more in return than any of the others. This was the best $60 I ever spent.
Hope this helps

Are All Your Egggs In One Basket?

Hello
with the economy on shakey ground, a lot can be said about NOT placing all your eggs in one basket.
Dallas where I live, has taken steps since the 1980's when it was heavily hit with the savings and loan scandals. It now is a hub for finances, arts, telecom, small business, manufacture and a lot more. It is difficult to say what Dallas does not have a market share in.
Should your home based business be doing the same?
I learned the hard way, when I thought I needed to do one thing and do it really well. When the company I worked for became no longer viable I was without income for a few months, and did not know what to do with myself.
I now market a few products, from hands off automated systems, to higher ticket items and my own products and a number in between.
My checks come from a variety of sources, so if one dissolves or is slower at paying, the others will make up for the slack.
It has taken me years to come to this point in my online marketing career, but you do not have to take all the losses and long learning curve as I did.
Things are so different now a days. I have some of my favorites on
Maria Porter Recommends .
I am a full time marketer, so please do not hesitate in calling or emailing me with any advise you need.

Dominate Your Local Market With Cheap Local Online Flat Rate Advertising

One thing that is not synonymous with online targeted traffic is affordable or cheap.

I know if you like me, you have probably spent more money than you care to admit on Pay per Click only to owe more than you have earned at the end of the month.

I have to say, I was more than excited when I came across the Local Ad Link network where I could place my ads in the local market utilizing highly sought after keywords at an affordable price.

One of the most difficult parts of having a home based business is getting enough traffic to your website on a consistent basis at a reasonable cost.

I am sure you recognize the names below:


There is also a lucrative earning opportunity associated with Local ad Links...a great way to share this economical advertising system with your team members.

Anyway, I am really excited about this company, the opportunity to get stock options, plus an affordable way to promote my amazing Platinum One Destinations business in the local market which is being heavily hit with lay offs. .

I highly recommend this service if you wish to advertise locally.

To visit the main site please go to:

or if you are interested in sharing the opportunity with others, please go to:

Wishing you much success,

Cheers

Travel Business Owners - Are You Forgetting to Target Your Market Effectively?

The travel consumer market is larger than the home based travel business market. Over $7 trillion dollars per year is reportedly being spent on travel and the number is expected to increase every year.

It appears that the majority of home based travel business owners spend the majority of their marketing efforts targeting potential home based business prospects, many of whom may not even have an interest in travel.

It is not the easiest task to market a product you have not fallen in love with, use on a regular basis or have an interest in.

The idea is not so novel, but by preaching to the choir you have a captive audience.

If your target market includes travel lovers, and they own time shares or like to vacation in places other than Grandma's house and you can clearly demonstrate how your product or service will save them money every time they travel would that not be an easy sale?

Add to the honey pot an earning opportunity where they can make money by sharing the product they love with others, either by directly being involved with the business or by being paid a referral fee, a winning combination emerges.

Where to find these people would be the next task in hand?

Travel lovers, seek out travel deals on the internet, craigslist, travel forums, travel magazines and you can even find mailing lists of avid travelers. Targeting travel lovers who wish to save on travel and or wish to make money from home is an all too often missing marketing tactic for the home based travel business builder.

Sometimes the art of creating a better marketing strategy is based on the simplest principle, knowing who is your best and most receptive audience.
