Use This Simple Free eBook Marketing Strategy And Produce More Traffic, Optins & Sales

April 9th, 2009

This is a very simple way of generating traffic, optins and sales… FAST and FREE, for a little effort.

I wanted to test this simple method from the perspective of someone marketing with no current list.

That means you can use this immediately even if you have no list, no affiliates, no products and no online friends… SO NO EXCUSES!

In my quick testing of this I was able to generate 8,483 unique visitors, 10,202 raw visitors, 101 optins, 75 sales and $2,356.80 in extra cash.

While the visitor-to-optin ratio is disappointingly low, the part of this test that I like most is the extraordinary optins-to-sales conversion.

Out of 101 optins, 75 of them converted into buyers, for $2,356.80 in revenue… that’s right around a 75% sales conversion!

Download Your FREE eBay Traffic Generation Checklist (Part 8 of 21)

March 17th, 2009

We are now just 1/3 of the way through our 21 day traffic generation series.

If you are applying any of the traffic methods provided so far, then without question you should be generating more traffic, if you apply them consistently then you will experience an overwhelming amount of traffic.

Now, one of the best ways to quickly monetize traffic is to send it to offers already proven to convert.

Many offers proven to convert can be found at Clickbank.com, ShareASale.com or PayDotCom.com. There are actually thousands of sites that offer affiliate products, however these three are a great starting point.

Once you start generating traffic you need to quickly monetize it. One of the worst things that can be done with good traffic is to throw bad offers in front of it. That is a formula for failure.

So always look to test different offers to your traffic.

In a later post we will explore the different ways to monetize all of this traffic you will be generating. So stick with me here.

Also, so that you and I are on the same page here… what we are covering in this 21 day traffic generation series are what I consider to be the tried and true traffic fundamentals.

As the internet matures and grows there are all kinds of exotic traffic methods that are born. And while I’m an advocate of testing everything, it shouldn’t be at the expense of building or sustaining a strong traffic foundation with proven fundamentals.

Also, with the fundamentals, while truly effective, they can also get to be truly boring and repetitive. And once you get that bored and tired feeling, you then open yourself up to be seduced by stuff that looks more exciting, but is either unproven or it’s a fad that will have a short shelf life.

Chase the exciting shining fads if you’d like… just please don’t do it at the expense of the fundamentals, okay?

Good.

It’s a very solid, long lasting, sustainable traffic foundation that I’m really hoping to help you to build here.

With that said, let’s turn our attention to generating traffic from eBay.

eBay is a great place to sell your products (not ebooks), and we have found it to be an even better place to generate targeted traffic and leads.

And while there are various ways to go about using eBay for traffic generation. You can click here now to download your eBay Traffic Generation Checklist and get a few proven ideas that you can test.

That’s it for today. If you’ve posted questions over the last few days, please go back and check for my response later today.

While you’re here be sure to TalkBack to me. Let me know what you think about this 21 day traffic generation series. Is it helpful at all? Do you have any questions. Whether you have questions, comments or feedback. I welcome it. So I’m listening… TalkBack to me.

Get Your FREE Craigslist Traffic Generation Checklist (Part 5 of 21)

March 14th, 2009

Today we will start generating some traffic from classified ads on Craigslist.

Before we get started, let me state here that while Craigslist still represents the apex of traffic generation classified ad sites… posting ads to Backpage Kijiji, USFreeAds and others are extremely effective.

And for that reason I’ll be posting a “Classified Ads Traffic Generation Checklist” that will cover the universe of classified ad sites that exist outside of the world of Craig and his list.

Now, there’s classified ad traffic…

…and…

There’s Craigslist classified ad traffic!

Some of the best free traffic on the internet from classified ads can be generated from Craigslist.

In some ways, Craiglist is like eBay.

eBay is a huge marketplace with two distinct groups of people… BUYERS and SELLERS.

In similar fashion, Craigslist is a huge marketplace of two distinct groups of people… SHOPPERS and PROVIDERS.

Shoppers are seeking jobs, products and services.
Providers are providing jobs, products and services.

What makes this dude Craig and his list so popular is of little importance. What is important are the stats.

It’s reported that…

+40 million people use Craigslist every month.
Craigslist gets 10 billion page views a month.
And Craigslist is currently serving 567 cities in 55 countries.

Seems like there’s just one big international party taking place over at Craigs joint.

His party list has gotten mighty big… and guess what?

YOU are invited to the party…so put on your dancing shoes!

If you are looking for a way to crank up your traffic, leads and sales then I highly recommend you test some free ads on Craigslist.

From my experience, there are three things that will really turn Craigslist into a traffic workhorse for you.

A great free offer.
Great graphical ads.
A large volume of ads.

When it comes to #3, you will want to consider outsourcing this.

Doing large volumes of ads on Craigslist crosses over into more advanced methods as well as using controversial auto-posting software and outsourcing.

There was a time when auto-posting software for Craigslist was abundantly available. Today however, just about all of those software programs are gone.

It’s not that the software didn’t work… it’s that it didn’t work for long. It seemed like Craigslist was always several steps ahead of the automators who tried to exploit Craiglist.

That said, there are still ways to post large volumes of ads on Craigslist, however that goes beyond the scope of this post.

For this post, let’s keep it straight and simple by sticking with the basics that you can use to start posting on Craigslist today.

So, you can click here now to download your 3 page Craigslist Traffic Generation Checklist that will give you the basic steps you need to start generating traffic TODAY from Craigslist!

Once your ad testing on Craigslist shows signs of working for your specific offers, I would recommend that you look into auto-posting programs where you can schedule ads to be place automatically. NOT to spam Craigslist.

You could also considering outsourcing or hiring a professional posting company. There is of course additional cost involved with outsourcing, creating additional accounts, etc. So make sure you factor that in when you do revenue and profit projections from Craigslist.

Okay, so in the words of “Porky” ...that’s all folks! Atleast for today. I’ll see you back here tomorrow with another traffic generation checklist.

In the meantime, be sure to TalkBack to me while you’re here. Ask questions if you have any. Also, please share any experiences you’ve had with Craigslist, any tips of your own or any thoughts, ideas or feedback you’d like to give. Whatever it is you’d like to share, I’m listening… so TalkBack to me!
