Over 50 Ways Of Getting Visitor Traffic To Make Money Online

1. Email The people You Already Know

Here are over 50 ways of getting visitors to your website in order to create revenue and build your email list.
You can start by collecting the email addresses of your current contacts, friends, and family. Send them an email announcing the launch of new website and business.
 
Never Buy Email Lists - You don't know who is on these lists and they may sue or report you to Google for spamming. Additionally, Google could kick you off their search engine - It's happens often.
 
The best way of building your email list is by getting your own visitors to your website who will give you their name and email address. 

10. Email Marketing

Selling from your email list is easy to do.
 
One example is to send out interesting emails to your list of friends, family and clients. Send out something funny, interesting or inspiring.
 
You will also attract more people to your website or to click on the link you provide as your email list forwards the email to others. This is known as viral marketing.
Make sure to include a link that pays you. To read more, click here.

11. Webinars

5 reasons why you *should* use webinars for lead gen

1. Strong Intent: If someone signs up for your webinar they already have a level of respect for either you or your company. This is something you can leverage over time to convert them into customers, as they have an inherent interest in what you do.

2. More information than most lead gen: Because of the perceived value of listening to a subject matter expert talk about (hopefully) new and relevant theories, people are more willing to part with more of their personal data. But it’s not really personal. Instead, they are giving up corporate information, removing a big barrier while at the same time giving you an *in* with the company.

3. They are free: Free learning? Sign me up!

4. Partnerships: A great lead gen strategy is to partner with another company (providing double value to the listener). Before the webinar you will email your own customers to attend, and by virtue of the partnership you’ll benefit from two things:

a) Access to the other company’s customers: You immediately have a new list of customers to market to.

b) Accidental word of mouth: Your own customers will often ask questions related to your product during the webinar, which is essentially a word of mouth tactic that provides social proof to the non-customers listening.

5. No geographical boundaries: people can sign up from anywhere in the world, extending your reach. You can then market to these people who will help spread the word in new geographic locations.

12. Surveys

You can conduct a survery with your friends and family and post the survery results to generate leads. For example, I wanted to test to see if I could get leads to my insurance business from a entertainment magazine; so I asked the question:
 
Which actor would you not let drive your car for fear of them crashing it?
Paris Hilton / Tommy Lee / Nick Nolte / Courtney Love
 
The magazine loved the survery and published it along with my website address.
 
The answer to the survery question was Nick Nolte. At that time he had just been arrested by the California Highway Patrol and charged with driving under the influence.

13. Joint Ventures 

While joint ventures are used all the time in the Internet marketing world, they're rarely used in the lead generation world.
 
If you're an Internet marketing person, you probably already know about doing cross-promotions to your list of leads or list of subscribers. But if you're in the lead gen world and have a list of 10,000 people that you're emailing to twice a month to build a relationship with them, you should know you can promote someone else's product or service to your people and have that person promote your products or service to their people. Both of you would then generate more sales.
 
It's an incredibly powerful and virtually free way for you to make that happen.

14. Pay Per Click advertising (PPC)

PPC is another way to build your list. Google Pay Per Click, Bing, Excite, and even Facebook now have PPC advertising. Pay-per-click advertising is really powerful.

It's a way of paying to get traffic to your squeeze page, to your opt in page or to get people to join your list.

These are people coming to you wanting more information from you on X, Y, Z topic. 

15. CPA & CPL

And again, you can do CPL advertising through CPA networks. Something you should definitely explore.

16. Integrated Marketing

Integration Marketing is a tremendously powerful way to generate leads.
 
It's putting your offer on the back end of someone else's offer or vise versa. For example, if you successfully make a sale, you can present someone else's offer for a related product on the thank you page, after the purchase is complete.

This can even happen over the phone. You successfully close a deal and then you make an offer for a competitor's product, getting paid a commission based on the sale. Your marketing partner gets a sale and you've made extra money. Everybody's happy. 

17. Traffic Geyser

Traffic Geyser takes your YouTube videos or your recorded videos that you have taken from a webcam or a flip video and helps to distribute them across the Internet to a whole slew of different video sites.

It helps you distribute your videos, articles, press releases and all sorts of other content all over the Internet, very quickly and with little or no work. in other words, it's like an aggregator.
 
So if you have a good message you're putting out there, record a video first, convert that video into an article, post that to a blog and distribute the article through a bunch of different article sites. It's an incredibly, incredibly powerful way to get your word out there.
 
Trafficgeyser.com as a service you might want to look into.  

18. Press Releases

Most people are hesitant when it comes to using press releases when they're putting out an article. But the reality is, it works like crazy and helps give you tons of back links. Back links are when websites link your website. Plus search engines rate your site higher in the search rankings if you have back links.
I recommend putting out a press release a day before using free online postings.

There are a bunch of different options that are out there, and everyday there seems to be more. But converting your article into a press release and distributing it with a link back to your opt in page or your squeeze page is just an incredibly powerful way to make all this happen.
 
When you have a newsworthy press release to get out to the media, make sure you use a News Wire service that goes to the desk of newspaper, radio and TV editors.

19. Classified Ads

You can use something like Craig's List and other classified ads sites that are out there. Just type in "classified ads" or "Internet classified ads" and you'll find a slew of places that you can put classified ads online.
You can also use the classified ad section in newspapers.
 
The biggest thing is that people need help. If you can offer them help, they will come to you. So think about people who need your help, rather than leads. And if you focus on people who need your help, you're going to find that you're going to want to help people. And you're going to be in a much better situation if you do.

20. eBay

EBay is a really great way to generate leads. You can sell something really inexpensive: perhaps a 99 cent special report, whether it's in print or digital on ebay.com. You can also do this on Amazon.com as well.  

An extension of amazon.com is the Kindle. On Kindle you can sell eBooks. Very, very powerful.
 
For each of these kinds of sales, you can drive the traffic to your website. 

21. Posting Notes

Now, this one's a little funny. Someone went around and put posters up on cork boards in many Starbucks locations in order to generate leads for their business.
 
So something to remember is that you can, with good copy that's appropriately placed, generate leads almost anywhere.

22. SEO or Search Engine Optimization

Search Engine Optimization is the process of defining your website with a Main Keyword Phrase, and build out your website with Related Keyword Phrases so that the search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing display your website for online searches. You can learn more about how to do this in your Keyword Research section.
 
Your Income Activator website has a link to do a quick search for Keywords, entitled Keyword Research, to ensure that the words that you're using to describe your website are being searched for online.
 
Each of our Income Activator pages also has an SEO section where you can describe to the search engines what your page is about.
 
Since you are able to optimize your website pages as you create them, providing you hands on SEO positioning, you have an advantage over other websites. This will ultimately give you free online search traffic coming to your website.

23. RRS Feeds

RSS means “Really Simple Syndication.” RSS is another way of getting your content out there. You have an RRS feed built into your Income Activator which shows up on your website's subpages.

Your visitors that use RSS Feeders will then be sent updates to your pages as you do them.
 
RSS is a technology is being used by millions of web users around the world to keep track of their favorite websites.

In the ‘old days’ of the web to keep track of updates on a website you had to ‘bookmark’ websites in your browser and manually return to them on a regular basis to see what had been added.

The problems with bookmarking is:

1. You, as the web surfer had to do all the work

2. It can get complicated when you are trying to track many websites at once

3. You miss information when you forget to check your bookmarks
 
This is great for your Store updates when adding new products or for your Article pages or your News Alerts.

Many people describe it as a ‘news feed’ that they subscribe to. 

It’s like subscribing to a magazine that is delivered to them periodically but instead of it coming from a physical mail box each month when the magazine is published it is delivered to them through their ‘RSS Reader’ every time their favorite website does an update.

4. You end up seeing the same information over and over again on sites that don’t update very often RSS Changes Everything

How people Use RSS 

RSS flips things around a little and is a technology that provides your visitors who subscribe with a method of getting relevant and up to date information sent to them for them to read in their own time. It saves them time and helps them get the information they want quickly after it has been published on our website.

You get an RSS Reader. A good and free one to use is Google Reader.

 It works a little like email. As people subscribe to the feeds, they will see the latest update to your website pages and can read it right away in the feed reader. They are also given the option to click through to your website or move onto the next unread item – marking the last one as ‘read’.
 
The best way to learn how to use Google Reader is to simply subscribe to some feeds and give it a go. 
 
You may wish to tell your list about RSS Feeders, how they work, by sending them this information, and have them subscribe to your website.   

24. Podcasting

25. Direct Mail

You've probably heard of sending mail to generate leads.

You could do this all day long. It could be the only thing that you do, and can generate 1000's of leads for you a year, easily, if you decide you wanted to get good at direct mail.
 
The reason why direct mail is so affective in today's market place is that it's used less frequently. As the Internet has taken over, your direct mail piece is probably going to be opened as it's exciting to get something good in the mail these days.
 
Postcards are a form of direct mail. You can utilize postcards in order to generate leads, as well.
 
When you watch the video, ROI means Return on Investment and B to B means Business to Business selling.
 
You can also do a bulky mailing. It's like direct mail, but you can include something in it. Imagine a tennis ball inside of an envelope that you got in the mail. Well, that would be bulky mail, and it would definitely get opened.

26. E-zine Advertising  

An e-zine is a newsletter that is delivered via email that you can subscribe to or opt in to it.
 
Email delivery frequencies can be any periodic schedule with daily being the most frequent. You could send it out multiple times per week, weekly, biweekly, monthly, or even quarterly.
 
Some of the best ezines are delivered daily, weekly, biweekly or monthly. Any delivery frequency longer than monthly is not recommended.
 
An important component to an 'e-zine' is the permission you give the e-zine publisher. Double or confirm opt-in is the best method of subscription and this means that the subscriber not only requested to receive the email newsletter, but confirmed their request to receive it by clicking on a confirmation link or replying to an email verification.
 
Any ezine that does not require confirmation or a subscription process is considered spam (unsolicited commercial email).
 
To advertise with e-zines, just type in "e-zine advertising" and you'll find lots of sites to advertise on.
 
Specifically, you can look for e-zines on your topic and advertise in them, and direct people to your website, have them opt in, and then you can follow up with them.

27. Google TV

You can do advertising on TV through Google.
