How To Use Leverage..

If you live in US then you are probably familiar Walmart. It is a giant of a store that sells pretty much anything at competitive prices.

I have noticed recently that a new Walmart that sprung up was built in an area that has little or no other stores. Since they are a huge multi-billion dollar corporation they can afford to be a pioneer in new locations. Then, interestingly, shortly after the new Walmart was built dozens of other smaller stores appeared around our location.

So, why would these smaller stores try to compete with Walmart when clearly most people love its convenience and low prices? Well, if you have ever invested in real estate you know the answer is "leverage".

If you are like most people you have probably found it quite difficult to start getting a lot of traffic to your new website. This is a normal problem that most face every day.

Another common problem is looking at others in their industry as competition. Actually, it is very rare that you really have any competition.

You have to change your view and look at them as potential partners. Do you think those other smaller stores appeared around Walmart to try to compete with that giant? No! The owners realized that Walmart draws a lot of customers (i.e. traffic) to their specific location (i.e. website).

They can benefit from that traffic even if they don't get all of it.

Why not use this same philosophy when trying to build your first email list?

Consider using others' resources in order to build your own business.

Suppose that you are in the market of helping others to quit smoking, but you have no list. After doing a Google search you discover another website with the same purpose that gets a ton of people every day and also has been building a list for quite some time. You could do one of two things:

1. Get discouraged and give up.

2. Contact the owner and see if you could advertise in their ezine for a price. If they don't already have advertising you will need to negotiate a price. But most larger ezines that accept advertising already have prices worked out. This benefits you greatly as you are able to target the EXACT market that you want to work with. They have already shown that they are interested, so they are the perfect match for your website.

theTRAFFICplan's key requirement of a content-rich website...

...is to get its web pages frequently updated with new content.

This helps your site attract more visitors. Adding new articles and posts keeps them visiting your site each day. (I suggest you review the training on articles at theTRAFFICplan)

Just remember that fresh content is not about re-editing old content. It is mainly about adding new content to a site.

By adding more dynamic content to a web page, you help ensure it gets higher page ranks and is more likely to be crawled by search engine spiders.

This also means more chances to be ranked well under search engines as a site has a big catalog of relevant content.

People love to get the latest information and your fresh content quenches their thirst on their favorite topics.

This helps us build authority and trust among visitors and can result in more backlinks!

In other words, more and more sites will be willing to link with your website/blog.

Moreover, updated pages create additional mini webs.

How Do You Get Your Visitors To Return?

Let's look at what you usually do when
surfing the web. You see a blog you like
and start to read it. You are thinking
about what a great blog it is, and if you
really like it, you bookmark it so you
can come back again.

Then something interrupts you, it may be
the dog barking at a neighbor, or one of
the kids starting to cry and you are
called away.

What happens when you get back? You have
forgotten what you were looking at, and
what are the odds you'll ever use the
bookmark to go back?

Want to find out? Go click your bookmarks
right now and see if you can even remember
what half of them are for. We know we can't.

Your blog visitor is no different than you
are. No matter how great your blog is,
things constantly distract people and your
visitor is gone.

Now if the blog you visited had used a
squeeze page and made you an offer of
interest, they would have a way to
contact you. When they email two days
later you remember the great report
they gave you and open the email to see
what they have to say.

You are very likely to go back and read
more of their blog. What is more, is that
they can continue to invite you back time
and again, because they got your contact
information and your permission.

This is why using a squeeze page and getting
permission to follow up with your visitors is
so powerful.

Check out Instant Capture Page to
discover how easy creating your page can be.

We'll be in touch in a couple of days with
another tip that will help you gain new
subscribers 30% faster - creating massive
amounts of return traffic to your blog.

Have a great day,

Getting Traffic Via YouTube

1) What To Promote With Your Video

Pick something to promote,
it could be your own product
or an affiliate offer.

2) Keyword Research

Use Googles free keyword tool
and search for some targeted
keywords that do not have too
much competition.

3) Create brief videos to upload
to Youtube

They don't have to be anything fancy,
just offer a few good tips.

You can just put some bullet points
on a powerpoint slide or even a
Word doc and record that with you
speaking over it.


4) Advertise Your Website

Show the website clearly at
the end of the video with a call
to action.

Send people to a squeeze
page where they can get a free report
or some other bribe.

That way people will be motiviated to
go to your site and you can build a list,
then redirect them to your product
or affiliate link when they opt in.

5) Optimize Each Video

With 3 things:

A) Title
B) Tags
C) Description

Start the title with
keyword you are targeting, as long as
it makes sense.

Also use it in the keyword tags
and description.

6) Promote Your Own Videos

If you build some backlinks to your own
videos they will rank higher.

By just by using some social
bookmarking for example you will give
your self an edge.

7) Scale It Up

Try sending out some audio postcards promoting

your videos

Using "YOU" and theTRAFFICplan

What's In a Name?

Personalized mailings were all the rage in direct marketing... back in 1975.

They continue to be a staple today, online as well as off, based on the idea

that no sound is sweeter than that of your own name.

Given my one or two experiences with hand-shaking, name-abusing car salesman

over the years, I beg to differ. ("Larry, what can we do to get you behind

the wheel of this beauty today... Larry?")

That doesn't mean personalizing a theTRAFFICplan mailing doesn't work.

Only that the same principle that made it a good idea decades ago has matured

today. That is,using your prospect's name is a good beginning - but better is a stronger,

fuller profile of what the customer cares about.

Think Amazon remembering past purchases and suggesting new ones. Think

psychographic marketing, not just demographics. The baseline rule: The goal

of getting personal with your prospect is actually getting personal, not

just pretending to have a connection.

That said, one of the most popular pieces of copywriting advice you're likely

to hear is to write your sales pitches in the second person. This doesn't mean

developing a split personality at the keyboard. It means writing to the "you" - as

in, your reader.

Of course, arbitrarily stuffing "you" into every sentence is no better than

overplaying your reader's name. If it isn't genuine, it will irritate him.

The difference is often just a mindset. Really write to the "you" while you

picture him in your head, and all the phoniness falls away.

Email Marketing and theTRAFFICplan

One of the biggest pitfalls of email marketing is writing subject lines

that will get your emails opened. And then once they are opened, you are faced with delivering a short, sweet and to the point message that will cause the reader to take ACTION. This little piece of free software will take care of both tasks for you and best of all, its FUN, not to mention FREE! http://budurl.com/AdGenerator

theTRAFFICplan is FREE, how are you going to be SCAMMED?!?

Opinions about "how to" get results from a home business

are dime a dozen on the internet.

REAL TRAINING isn't.

If you're not using your email autoresponder effectively

you're leaving a lot of money on the table.

We've just posted over 80 minutes of REAL training on

theTRAFFICplan blog and video to show you how the pros really get

results using something we call:

The Art & Science Of Email Follow Up Marketing

This training WILL assist you TODAY in building a

more long term, sustainable online selling operation.

YES - I said "selling operation" ---

I'm sick and tired of people asking for information on

"how to make $$ from home online..."

And then being scared of "selling"

It's ridiculous.

Afraid of "sales"

Pick up your marbles and go home.

Don't believe in the art and science of sales and marketing?

Think EVERY kind of "selling" is scamming people?

Like I said...

This may not be for you. Pick up your marbles and go home.

In my honest and humble opinion, the reason why most people

fail to get results from home online or offline... in m1m, matrixes,

direct sales or affiliate marketing or WHATEVER your favorite flavor

is...

IS because they come in there wanting to learn how to make $$$...

Yet they want to do it WITHOUT "selling"

LOL

And far too many people work SO HARD at NOT using that term...

"oh, I don't want to scare my prospects away..."

"nobody likes to sell..." etc

TRUE. Nobody likes to sell.

That's why NOBODY makes $$$!

Look here's the thing...

Let's all grow up...

It's 2009 and with the tools and SYSTEMS we've

got available for you... you can be PROUD to sell each

and every day because we basically make it painless...

There's a little tool out there called the internet

And it makes it so that normal every day people can

use GREAT tactics and SYSTEMS to SELL...

without really "selling" if you know what I mean.

This is one of the most important...

FOLLOW UP MARKETING...

Made into a SYSTEM?

Yep...

Look, I don't care if you've got the free membership

of aTRAFFICplan or not...

learning the art and science of FOLLOW UP Email Marketing

How To Change Your Twitter Background from theTRAFFICplan

Yes, your Twitter default background page is good to get started with but there is a company called Twit Back that will set you up with other background choices at no cost!

By doing so, your Twitter sidebar (on the left) becomes a personal branding ad space for you.

It allows you to include to your blog, facebook page, phone number, short text ad, etc.

You should also include visible links to your other social networking sites like http://www.facebook.com/wallmann33

This is the kind of training we get at theTRAFFICplan and it's FREE !!

How To Use The Internet Success Spider With theTRAFFICplan

One of the first keyword tools I suggest you use is The Internet Success Spider by Neil Shearing which is now free.

The Spider is a very simple, yet powerful keyword tool because it shows you the major players in your keyword niche.

It slowly works in the background to give you valuable information on your keywords. I realized very quickly, with marketing (like most things in life) that information is what separates the losers from the winners.

You can get it here: http://budurl.com/InternetSpider

It's a great tool to use in conjunction with the free Web 3.0 Internet Marketing Training

we get on Wed evenings....

"Ignorance is a voluntary misfortune"

What the heck is Web 3.0 ???

It's Web 1.0 + Web 2.0 = WEB 3.0

As you know, Web 1.0 was simply an acronym for eCommerce. Back then, retail stores wanted to do business on the internet rather than just using expensive retail storefronts. Many saw the power of the internet to attract an entirely new audience that may not have had the chance to visit their store in person. This would without doubt give them access to more potential customers for less cost.

Web 2.0, in its simplest definition and use today, has become an acronym for the everyday person's ability to communicate and collaborate globally using Social Networking. It has made things more user friendly to us, and as such, companies have come to embrace these new design and communication formats to engage with their customers.

Web 3.0 brings these two worlds together for the average person to be able to harness the power of the internet to begin to profit with multiple streams of income online by introducing products and services to their groups of followers (also known as their list and also as their tribe).
