How to generate traffic

The 3 most important ones to start with are:

Website: a website is a must for an online business. You can either build a simple mini site, or a full blown theme content website. It will all depend on the type of business you are in.

Autoresponder: an autoresponder will handle all your list building needs. It will automatically put people who subscribe from your web form on your list and will also handle those who unsubscribe. You can send messages to your list; either with one mail out or sequenced ones.

Free newsletter: always offer a free newsletter to your visitors. This allows you to capture email addresses with an opt in list. You can also include a couple of ads for your products or services in the newsletter.

Once these tools are set up you can then proceed to drive traffic to your website. There are many ways to do this but one of the best is article marketing. Article marketing will cover more than one promotion and bring many targeted visitors to your site.

4 ways to generate traffic with Article marketing:

1. Blogging: small 300 word articles will be used for this purpose. Small informative articles will link back to your website and draw targeted visitors to your products and articles. Remember to use blogger.com which is owned by Google. When you do this you will find the Google bots will follow your links to your website content and index it within 48 hours.
2. Website content: 400 to 500 word articles (optimized). For these articles you will need to use 1 keyword phrase and build your article around it. In order to be acceptable for the search engines you will need them to have around 3% keyword density. You can submit each page to the search engines. You can then link your blog to the new content for quick indexing. Do not submit too much content at a time to the engines, or they will consider that you are spamming them. A couple of pages a week will be sufficient.
3. Article distribution: 500 word articles. These can be a variety of interesting articles about your product or service and anything related to your business field. You can also do reviews and promotional articles. You can use a distribution service or submit them to the directories yourself.
4. Newsletter: 500 plus word articles. These will usually be informative with how to articles that will keep your subscribers coming back for more. The better quality your newsletter content is the more likely your subscribers will be to stay on your list.

To make article marketing effective you can write or have written a certain number of articles per month. Bear in mind that blogging should be done on a daily basis and content should be added at least once a week in small amounts. Newsletters can be published weekly, every 2 weeks or once a month. Once you have your articles ready you can just allocate them when and where you want them to go.
