Guys… We are running into the home stretch. You have everything ready now:
Your Niche
Your Freebie
Your Autoresponses
Your Affiliate sales
Now you need to bring it home with some TRAFFIC!!
Lets get some FR*EE Traffic! Here are some easy ways to get FREE traffic to your new niche site.
*** Since this E-course was written I added a post to my Blog offering 10 Free Traffic tips – Check it out as there are definately tips not listed below that you can use!
a) Submit Articles – There are MANY sites where you can submit articles without cost. Web publishers use articles as a means to add automatic and free content to their site. However, they must include the link back to the website that is linked to on the article. This brings more traffic for you. If you take your blog posts, or your autoresponder content, your 10 free tips, etc., it should not be too difficult to edit them into an article style. They can be anywhere from around 250 – 700 words.
There are DOZENS of sites where you can submit your articles, but here are two of the most popular ones:
Since there are so many, and since it is such a great source of traffic, there are software/resources that will submit your articles to dozens of article sites, with a click of the button. Anyone who appreciates the adage that ‘time is money’ (and has gone through the easy, but tedious task of submitting articles to the above sites), will realize the value of these resources.
This site
may be a good starting point – for $14 they will submit ONE article to over 150 article sites. For 10 articles, it is $120.
Or you can make a one time purchase of submitting software that will allow you to submit endless amounts of articles to hundreds of sites.
Both of these sites offer link submission services as well -definitely worth looking into. The more links your site has from other respected and relevant sites, the higher your ranking will be on Google. The higher your Google ranking, the better placement you get on search engine results, which means… YOU guessed it! More Fr*ee Traffic!
b) Forums/Blogs -
The web is a limitless resource for support for any topic you can imagine. These support groups are a great way to promote yourself, your product, and your site. Naturally you cannot expect to sign up to a message board or forum JUST to sell your product without being removed as spam. It has to be done very delicately and following the rules of each board. Go to google and do a search for your niche + forum for your niche + message board (like this – “foreclosures” + “message board”) . Click on the search results and find one that looks like a good match for you. Read the terms and conditions – are you allowed to have a signature, and are links allowed in the signature? If you dont like reading the rules, it may be enough to browse through some messages and see if others have signatures.
So if you are looking at real estate forums, and you are selling a product on buying foreclosed property, you would join the forum as a real participant, and your signature would hopefully attract its own attention… can look something like this:
Your name
www.foreclosed-property.com
The RESOURCE for property at half-price.. Or Get 10 Free 10s on…
c) Ezine directories -An Ezine is an online newsletter. You would be surprised how many Ezines exist and on any topic you can (or cannot) imagine! If your niche topic has absolutely no competition, then it is probably NOT a good topic. Competition is good! Befriend your competitors. If you have a freebie that would interest your comeptitors mailing list, then let him offer it to his list, and then they will have to sign up to your list in order to receive it! It may be worth it to pay a standard advertising fee to get a newsletter sponsored by your site, etc.
There are free Ezine Directories that break down the Ezine listings by categories. If you are looking to promote your site, it is advised to first sign up to an ezine to check it out.
There is a company that will do all the work for you, and the bonuses they offer are ridiculous! Some of their bonuses I purchased for $47 EACH!
Whether you choose their service or not, just reading their sales page will teach you loads about how to maximize traffic with Ezines.

Keep at it!
Be well,
