- Email List Traffic
how to get traffic to your website
I stressed in my previous post that building an email list is a must thing to do for any serious internet marketer or blogger. An email list is your first go to traffic source. A source you have more control over than any other.
When you have a new offer to promote or just published a new blog post, where do you go first? I personally send a broadcast to my email list first before i think of social media or any other source. Depending on the size and relationship you have built with your list, you can see activity as soon as the next minute.
From experience, this is a much more responsive traffic than any other. These are people who are more likely to comment on your posts, like and or share your posts and most of the time you’ll close more sales with email traffic if you are promoting a product or service.
Main Advantages of email traffic
It is instant , Much more responsive.
Main Disadvantages of Email Traffic
You have to build a list .
Key Things To Note On how to get traffic to your website fast using your Email List
Avoid bombarding your list with every offer and promotion every now and then. Even if you do, try to provide value to your list by sharing golden nuggets, information that could be of use.
For example you can share useful content on your blog, like say product, service or business opportunities reviews, “how to” content and try not to always sell something with every broadcast that you send out.
This is how you build trust and a long term relationship with people who have subscribed to you. Building a good relationship will increase your email open rate which will almost guarantee fast and instant traffic to your website every time you email your list.
- Advertising
how to get traffic to your website – " advertise "
It’s hard to skip advertising when you talk of traffic. There are several ways to advertise your website both paid and free.
When paid traffic will insure fast and instant visitors to your site, it will always eat something from your pockets. The amount of traffic you get will depend on how much you are willing to spend.
On the other hand free advertising will cost you in terms of time you’ll spend to work out the method.
Different forms of Advertising your Website:
Paid Traffic, Solo Ads
In my opinion, Solo Ads this is one the most effective form of advertising i’d recommend to anyone...
