Driving Traffic

Now that you have everything you need, let's start getting you on your way to getting FREE Flowing Money!

Traffic isn't going to magically start making it's way to your sales letter just because it's been put out there for the world to see. It'd be wonderful if it worked that way, but sadly... We have to put a little more effort into it than that.

For those who don't have a large spending budget for traffic generation, I'm going to let you in on a way to generate traffic without spending a dime. I'm not saying it's not going to cost you something though. Because, for everything there is a cost. However, it's not going to be money!

What will it cost you? Time and effort. If you're not willing to put at least those two things into this, you're probably not going to make much. There's always a chance your sales letter and site name may get lucky. If you have enough Facebook contacts, and the hits strike the right strings, you may get a trickle. You never know! But, do you want to leave it all up to luck?

More importantly, do you want to stop at just a trickle with a small amount of time and effort can generate so much more for you?

The more you put into this, the more you can get out of it. Much like many things in life...

So, what's the trick to generating traffic without spending a dime?

Being active in forums and discussion boards!

Would you believe it? It really does work. If you go to the websites where people are actively talking about the products and niches that you are promoting, and you get active in those discussions and forms, you're going to draw attention to yourself.

Here's how it works:

Step One: You set up your account on those websites, and you select a clear and relevant user name that pertains to the genre you're going to be promoting. You want to be taken seriously, so don't use something that's going to turn people off from what you're saying. The same goes with any user image you choose. Keep in mind, you're portraying an image of your own credibility here, and you want it to say that you are worth taking serious.

Step Two: You set up your profile so that in your signature, your site address is listed!

Step Three: You get active! You spend 10 to 15 minutes at least every day in those forums and discussion boards. Not just reading them, but answering them. Putting your opinions up, and sounding like an intelligent, well written user. Again, keep in mind that you want to portray a credible, worthy user here. Image is everything.

Step Four: You wait for people to get curious about you and start clicking on your site link on your signature. People will. They can't help themselves. People are curious by nature. And if your sales letter is well written, and draws them in, you're going to make sales.

Now, every site has a way to monitor traffic. If you're getting hundreds of visitors a day, and you're still not making sales, then the problem isn't in your traffic flow, it's in your sales letter.

Sometimes, it takes some trial and error to find something that works. Maybe it's not eye catching enough. Maybe the wording is too complex. Maybe it's too simple! Maybe it has too much energy. Not enough? Maybe... You might be one of those people that just needs to hire someone to write the letter for you.

If you've got the traffic incoming, then it's worth the small investment to have someone write you a sales letter. They aren't that costly, and can start as low as $15 for just one. In some cases, that's just one sale to get your money back. A pretty safe return risk. But, that's really up to you.

Now, for those of you who do have a budget to invest into traffic generation, and you want more than a couple hundred visitors a day, and more than just a few extra hundred dollars a day to start off with, there are some software products out there to help you out.

Personally, I can't advise you as to which ones to use, but I can give you some links and allow for you to decide for yourself.
