If you are feeling a bit of confusion and frustration about how to get visitors to your home based internet business website and generate more sales, I know exactly how you feel.
Every day I read an article or see an ad about driving people to your home based internet business website in fact driving traffic to a website has become the “holy grail” on the Internet. People are realising that if you build it, they won't come... unless you give them a reason. Traffic just doesn't happen by itself, your home based internet business website is just one of many millions on the web and people rarely just stumble upon your site by accident.
Now days to be really effective as a internet marketer you need to think outside the box and not follow the herd, so try these 3 ways to drive traffic to your website:
- Direct mail
- Social Bookmarking
- Freebies and discounts
Direct mail
As the cost of pay per click marketing goes up, and joint ventures become harder and harder to get, the free traffic generating methods start dying,. With banner impressions sending you trickle traffic, and more and more emails never arrive because of the spam filters, it’s time to look at direct mail.
It is going to cost you money to send a mail shot. But if you’ve tweaked and tested your home based internet business website to convert the maximum amount of visitors, and you have set-up up your automated backend sales process. Direct mail is one of the best ways of driving laser targeted visitors to your site, people who already have a proven track record of BUYING products similar to what you offer.
Social Bookmarking
The process of social bookmarking is to bookmark a website or home based internet business webpage of your interest in a social networking website. Such bookmarks are published to particular webpages allocated to your online activities and remain there for the future use of yourselves and others.
Some of the more popular Social sites.
- Stumble Upon
- Reddit
- Furl
- DropJack
You can bookmark the webpages of your home based Internet business site, which you've recently added to your website. By using tags, you set the keywords for which you'd like your bookmarked link to be found. When others search that keywords inside that particular social media, they can find the link to your newly added webpage.
This, of course, brings people to your website, creates a link in major search engines to that new webpage. In addition to all of this, you can promote your expertise, spread news, etc within a very short period of time.
Freebies and discounts.
Free gifts and big discounts often get people clamouring for a product and service like no other ad campaign could.
Giving your customers bonuses that costs more than the product that they have paid for, then you’ve hit on a goldmine. A freebie would surely get them so interested that they would gladly part with their hard earned dollars just so they can get hold of your bonus.
Nevertheless, your bonus and freebie would also not be popular among your customers if it doesn’t have any value to them. It doesn’t matter that it’s the most expensive item in your arsnel, if your home based internet business customers don’t have any use for it, then your message would just be a waste of your time and money, as well as those of your customers. One thing’s for sure, your freebie should be directly related to the product that was purchased.
Giving gifts is like catching your home based internet business customers, hook, line and sinker. You’re encouraging them to spend their money with the promise of a free gift that has great value through your subliminal messages.
Conclusion
obviously, there are a lot of other ways to increase home based internet business website traffic. The three listed above are a great place to start. If you are paying hundreds or even thousands of dollars of month for pay-per-click traffic, it may be wise to divert enough of those dollars into other methods to ensure that your home based internet business website is the traffic-snagging, profit-generating machine you intend it to be.If you want to find other ways to market your home based business, then get a copy of Cheat-Marketing, this book will teach you all you need to know about how to successfully market your website
