Here’s my question to you: Even if you’re making sales from your website, are you paying through the nose for the traffic that gets you those sales?

If you’re making less than $500 a month from your website sales — or even if you’re making a lot more — read every word of this letter very carefully and I will share with you information about my method for getting free traffic that turns into hard cash month… after month… after month!

Have you ever asked…

“How can I get more visitors to my website without spending a fortune in advertising?”

I used to ask that question daily until I discovered a dependable traffic source that

Doesn’t run dry…

Requires no complicated knowledge or skills, and…

Doesn’t cost any money to advertise!

Every website could use more traffic!

Every website could benefit from an extra 100, 200… even 500 visitors a day – especially if you didn’t have to pay for them!

Those extra visitors translate into spendable cash… and I like that. However, if you’re like me, you’re not a search engine guru and you don’t have an unlimited advertising budget. Also, you know that traffic schemes like “safe lists”, FFA links pages, and “exit traffic” exchanges simply don’t work.

So what do you do?

Well, I’ve found a system for generating steady traffic to my websites that doesn’t require you to become some sort of “guru” who can manipulate HTML code or install strange scripts. I’ve found something far simpler and effective that anyone can duplicate that drives targeted customers to your website as well or better than all the complicated and costly traffic schemes in the world!

It’s a simple formula really – I’ll tell you exactly how it works right now…

Step #1 – You write a 500 word article on a topic of great interest to a targeted audience and then…

Step #2 – You get a few of the tens-of-thousands of ezine publishers on the Web (who by the way need articles desperately) to run your article to their thousands of subscribers.

Step #3 – Of those thousands of people who see your article, some will click on your link at the bottom of the article, visit your website, and purchase your products (or earn you commissions by purchasing other people’s products through your affiliate links.)

What makes this system even more effective is that, in many cases, website owners will also post your article to their websites (they’re hungry for content too!), the search engines will index those pages, and you end up getting traffic for months — sometimes years — after you initially publish your article.

Bottom Line: Learn secrets to get traffic and customers from a one-time action! http://tinyurl.com/5lud2n

Tools for making online video get more common every day online. The latest craze, Flip Video cameras, make it simple and fun to snap high-quality video clips and use them for business or pleasure. Despite the widespread popularity of online video, most people think online video is only for the super-geeky set. But, with an influx of free and low-cost tools, online video has never been easier for everyone to get in on the “lights – camera – action!”

Video Blogging. Probably the easiest way for anyone to get started, video blogging or “Vlogging” combines the use of a blog with simple video “posts” on your website. You can sign up for a free blog at Blogger.com to act as your platform for making posts. Then, you can upload your videos (for free) to www.YouTube.com or http://Video.Google.com and they’ll convert your videos for online play. You can then take the copy-and-paste code either site gives you, paste that code into a new post on your blog, and voila, you’re officially video blogging. Blogger.com makes a great, fast way for you to set up a personal video blog, and it really is as simple as I describe.

If you want to put your blog on your own domain and hosting account (which I highly recommend if you operate a business), then you can get the best blogging software in the world for FREE by visiting www.WordPress.org. Once you create your blog on your own domain, you can post video exactly the same way I described above using YouTube or Google Video.

Video E-mail. Video email rates even simpler than video blogging. You can shoot your video using even a simple web cam and then email it to your family and friends. Now, this works great for smaller files, but once you get above about 3 Megabytes (MB), emailing those files becomes a pain for both you as the sender and your friends as recipients. However, you can easily share video files via email with the help of free online file hosting services. Services like www.Box.net and www.XDrive.com enable you to upload a file once, then email a special link to as many people as you want. They visit the link online and download the video file from the server rather than getting forced to download it as an email attachment.

By the way, these two services work great for sharing any large file, not just video.

Attract New Website Visitors. If you operate an online business, you know traffic represents the life-blood of your site. (If nobody shows up, it’s hard to make any money.) Video makes a great way to reach new viewers and get them to your website using FREE online hosting services. At a minimum, you should upload your videos to: YouTube.com, Video.Google.com, Revver.com, and MySpaceTV.com. You can also “announce” your video to multiple sites at once using Tube Mogul.com (which offers both free and paid options).

If you want traffic, make sure to put your domain name across the bottom of the entire video so viewers can find your website or blog. Also, if you want people to get excited about you and your business, make sure your videos entertain people (no boring content), educate them (teach them something good), and empower them (give them something they can use). Following these simple rules will massively increase the pulling power of your videos to act as “traffic magnets” for your site.

Making money online is a dream for many, but the simple fact is that it’s often just as tough as making money offline. Making money online with selling ebooks with resale rights or recommending them through affiliate links offers great opportunities of making money online. I used to be one of those people who sometimes ask, “Is anyone making money online besides Internet marketing experts”. People believe only the scammers and “gurus” are the only ones earning a decent living . You no longer need to be afraid to get started. The internet is ready and willing to offer you a piece of this money making pie. There are two simple things every newbie can do starting today position themselves for great wealth in the future.

Become An Affiliate

Affiliate programs are when you promote a product or service for another website and earn a commission when you make a sale for them. Affiliate marketing is a big and profitable industry that covers a wide spectrum of topics and fields. Affiliate programs enable your blog to serve as a conduit between readers and online sites offering various goods and services. They are great additional streams of income. Affiliate marketing is a skill not a get rick quick scheme. Affiliate marketing should be a really fun and exciting home business that you can run from your personal computer, or notebook.

Making money with Affiliate Programs is the process of making “feeder” web sites that drive traffic to various affiliate programs or products. Done correctly, affiliate marketing is one of the most powerful ways to make money from the web. I was under an impression that making money online was difficult or uneasy to learn. Boy was I wrong. Anyone with no marketing skills can signup to be an affiliate, get the company’s marketing material and begin promotion immediately. Personally, I’ve found affiliate marketing to be the best source of making money online. If you look a bit you can find some very nice commission, affiliate products that are very easy to sell. When you combine affiliate marketing with blogging, it’s almost impossible to fail.

Blogging

Many bloggers are earning $100 to $1000 per month and more only from writing reviews at their blogs. Earning money online by blogging is a pretty straight forward way for most bloggers. It’s better than a hard sell sales page because blogs have a more personal connection with readers, so readers are more willing to listen to a bloggers’ recommendation. The mistake many niche bloggers make is they get content that is too focused on a specific keyword and only that keyword. One of the main goals of making money online blogging is to build a large RSS readership. We can also connect with like minded bloggers. Even though we are the smartest things on the earth at this point who live and breath we still do not realize the power of word of mouth. Promoting affiliate programs on your blog is a sure thing.

Conclusion

There are many opportunities to make money online. The key is to find something you believe you can be successful with and stick with it until you succeed. Another tip is that you must be interested in the products/ services you promote. If you feel good about your product, it’ll be easy to promote. For example, I recently was introduced to a program called 4 Minute Money I believe in the product so it’s easy to promote it.

I landed on a great blog this afternoon – I’m just don’t remember how I got there. It all started where everything pretty much starts for me (Google), but I can’t remember the route.

I don’t guess it matters, right?

What DOES matter is great advice – killer advice, even. The kind that can light a fire under your feet and add zeros to your bank balance. If you’re like me, you welcome both zeros and fire – so, here’s something you’ll like.

Carl Ocab has written a great post titled “I Paid 12 Months to Learn These 32 Things.” It’s the sort of information that’s well worth the effort of copying/pasting/printing/re-reading/highlighting. The whole 9 yards.

My favorite is #6 and I blockquote:

6. Act Now, There’s No Later
You have this super idea that you know if you take action, would make thousands over thousands of dollars. After sometime, you forgot about it and you were surprised to see someone did it and got the cash you dreamed of. Has this happened to you?

When you have an idea, implement it now – before anyone does. If you have to stay up all night long, sure. Just act.

Zip, zing, or zap your way to his blog and read this post from top to bottom. Then branch out and read the other posts as well. Great stuff.
