Without Traffic you are out of business whether your business is online or offline. You can continue going to the store every day.  You can sit looking out the window or at the screen until you go broke or lose interest or you can learn how to get traffic to  your store.

If you want to get traffic just keep reading and we'll see if we can come up with a way you can direct Targeted Traffic to your website.

I've sold several different products offline and had to go out and find customers. It is about the same online.

If you want customers you have to go find them whether online or offline. The difference is how you find them. Let me tell you a little story.

When I was selling life insurance I was told, "This is the way to find customers".

"Imagine only red headed people will buy life insurance". Then they told me, "If you have to, get yourself a pair of rose colored glasses and everyone you meet will be red headed". I know this may sound foolish but I found that with rose colored glasses only 1 out of a 100 red headed people I talked to was interested in insurance. What that little experience taught me was I needed to talk to a lot of people to make a sale. It also taught me never disqualify anyone.

It works the same online. You'll have to tell your story to a lot of people to make a sale. You can cut the odds down some if you are talking to a person that wants the product you are selling. We will get to that in a little while.

If you are selling Volkswagens and you disqualify someone because they are driving a Cadillac, you just might miss a sale. The same if you are selling little dogs and pass up someone that owns a cat. What I'm trying to say is, if you run around all day looking for that perfect customer you probably won't make a sale that day.

"You will want to tell your story as many times a day as you can".

I have always made more money by telling my story 10 times a day than when I told it 2 times a day. I also found the more times I told my story, the better I'd get. The better I'd get, the more I sell.

"Now lets talk about Targeted Traffic"

Targeted traffic is people looking for information or products, and you have the information or product they are looking for.

You will have the information in a book form or report that you can deliver to the prospect. You'll need enough of the information on your site or sales page to convince your prospect you have what he/she is looking for and then you help them decide to order your book or report.

There are different ways you get the target traffic to to your site.

1. Search engines.

You will need your site optimized so the search engines will spider your site and list it on their pages. Your site must be good enough to register in the top ten for the Keywords the prospect is looking for.

2. Pay Per Clicks.

You will bid for position with PPC. The more you bid the closer to the top of the Search engines pages your ads will appear. If you don't know what you are doing with PPC, you can spend more than you make. PPC is or can be a bit tricky so make sure you know what you're doing before you try PPC. I'm not trying to scare you away from PPC, just warning you to be careful.

3. E-mail ads.

You find someone with a mailing list of people that has shown interest in the type of products you are selling. You buy space in their ezine to place an ad. This will require some work or investigation on your part. It would be a waste of money to send an ad for Dog food to cat owners, or information on different kinds of insect to anyone other than someone interested in insect. The ezine publishers are selling space. They don't really care what you advertise. I must say, there are some publishers that will not accept your ad if it doesn't go with their clientele.

The best way to check is to subscribe to their ezine before you place an ad. Some publishers require you to be a subscriber before they will run your ad. This is a way for them to have a bigger mailing list they can use when advertising for people to place ads in their ezine. If they have 50,000 advertisers they can boast of their big mailing list.

4. Joint ventures.

This is one of the best ways to get your advertising out faster than the other ways. Joint ventures was at one time, getting someone to send your advertising to their mailing list and you do the same for them. Now JV is getting someone to advertise your product to their list for a percentage of the sales made to their list. This almost requires having an affiliate program setup to track the sales of your JV's so you can pay them for their sales.

If you have your product setup so you can collect the addresses and names of the people that buys your product, you can build a good mailing list with JVs also. To get someone to JV with you,
you will need a product that sells for at least $50.00, 0therwise your JV partners wouldn't make enough to pay for their work. If you have your product setup as mentioned above you can afford to pay a bigger percentage than you would normally pay an affiliate because you are building a mailing list with their sales.

5. Articles.

You can write articles with information about your niche products and submit your articles to article directories and let them be used in e-mail, on websites or blogs. your article will have your signature block at the bottom of the article with your URL. The more publishers that publish your articles the more traffic you will get to your URL.

Writing articles is the cheapest way to advertise but it will take longer before you start making sales. If you can't write articles you can purchase private label articles or you can get a ghostwriters to write articles for you. You will need to tell them what to write about and maybe what you want to say.

This will probably make the people selling Private Label Articles mad, but if you buy 1000's of articles in a package there might be 4 or 5 you can use and you will have to rewrite them. I don't know about you but I would rather write my own articles than  read through 1000's of letters trying to find one I can use.

If you can write a series of articles on a subject, you can put them in an autoresponder and advertise your responder and build a mailing list. You can join mailing list builders. You can mail to them usually once a week. In your mail you will want to advertise your responder or some other way you have to collect their address.

I'm writing this from memory and my memory's not as good as it once was, so I might have left out some other ways to find people for your business but if you work a couple of these it will be better than doing nothing so go and build your list.
