24 Simple But Effective Ways To Attract Cash In Hand, Ready To Pay Customers To Your Websites Every Single Day!

Written by Komolafe Isaac

Of recent, I am being bombarded with requests from asking me what my secret for traffic is. I mean people keep asking me almost everywhere I go to give them a special magical tip that pulls the most results and which will bring the most number of visitors to their website.

Each time I get this question, I just smile. The simple truth is that if you want to attract a load of cash in hand, ready to pay customers to your website, you don’t follow a single traffic route. You use multiple strategies. Personally, I use a combination of 3, sometimes up to 10 of the traffic techniques you are going to read about in here to get the kind of results I want!

Please don’t get me wrong. Some of these methods are Super Fast methods which will bring results in as little as minutes. Others will take some more time to work. Also, some are costlier to operate that others and some will work in certain situations better than the others. It is your duty to familiarise yourself with these techniques and then choose the most appropriate for any website you want.

I bet you are ready to discover how to drive rabid, cash in hand customers to your websites every single day.

1. Joining Forums, Sharing Your Opinions & Creating Your Own Communities

Anyhow you look at it, this is very effective and if you are not using it, I beg you to start immediately; today! You see, forums are online communities. A place where people come together to share ides, get help and just talk. The great thing is that you will find millions of forums online relating to almost anything you can think about. If you love sports or have a sports website for instance, find and join sports forums. If you have a website about Internet marketing, join internet marketing related forums.

There are four basic keys to getting traffic from forums. First, join as many as possible you can find relating to your website. Second, introduce yourself when you join the forum (if the forum has a place for this). Third, start making your own contributions. This is very important. The more contributions you make, the more you will get people to visit your websites (Beware: don’t make junk or useless contributions or else people will come to regard you as a member who should not be reckoned with). Fourth, always make sure at the bottom of your posts (contributions you make that is), always add a link to your website. It is called your resource box. Doing this alone will send good traffic to your website daily.

For instance, you can join www.warriorfourm.com/forum

Now, you can go a step higher. Build your own forum. Now, this can be some real hardwork because growing a forum from scratch is a little cumbersome. However, if you can stick to it, you will find out that at some point, you are no longer the one growing the forum. It will just grow by itself as more and more people will start flocking to it to be a part of the community. The most beautiful thing is that when this begins to happen, you immediately begin to get some massive FREE but highly targeted paying traffic.

2. Article Writing

Don’t say I am biased BUT I love this one. You see, all you need to do to get people visiting your websites daily is simply to write very quality articles, relating to your websites and start sending out the articles. Now, at the bottom of the articles, you get to include your website and a little description for yourself. Before you start submitting articles, learn the rules of the websites and don’t negate them. Places you can submit your articles to include www.ezinearticles.com, www.businesstoolchest.com, www.ideamarketers.com, www.goarticles.com, www.articlecentral.com, www.authorconnection.com, www.isnare.com , www.searchwarp.com , www.findbusinessarticles.com , www.amazines.com , www.addme.com

The beauty of this method that your articles get used up over and over on the Internet so much that there won’t be a day you won’t get results from those articles after a while of writing and submiting.

Another method to explore is to write articles and send to newpaper and magazine publishers. The fact is that these set of people are always looking for stories to publish and they will be more than willing to publish your work if they are great. The result is a herd of traffic to your websites.

3. Email Marketing

People seem to be forgetting this technique but it still remains very effective. All you have to do is send an advert by email to thousands of people. I bet you will start getting results the same day. This is usually called ezine advertising and it works like magic.

However, you have to be careful because there are loads of fake ezine publishers out there. Before you buy ezine advertisement, you should try and join that ezine and watch how it works. Also, try and see if the ezine truly has the size it claims to have. For instance some ezine publishers will tell you that your advert will go out to 200,000 people whereas they only have 2000 (it is difficult to know for sure anyway but try and find out).

To get a huge list of ezine publishers, dates of publication, advert rates for both classified (this is a small ad at the top, bottom or middle of the email) or solo ad (here your advert goes alone with nothing else), you can go to www.directoryofezines.com

3. Place an ad in a target market magazine

Although this can take some large gobs of your cash, they tend to be very effective and when you do it right, you will get good rewards. The key is to choose the right magazine. For instance, if your website is about dating and relationships, a business magazine will be a lousy advertising platform. You should go for magazines related to that topic.

4. Create business cards

Have plenty of them and be ready to give them out to as many people as you meet everywhere you go. Church, seminars, parties etc. You never know, the next person you give might be your biggest website customer.

5. Create A Guru/Expert Status

This is not so obvious as a way of getting visitors to your website but it works. You see people prefer to associate with the experts. Therefore, no matter what your website is about, work hard at becoming an expert on that topic. To do this, go out and research deep into that area, uncover the myths, demystify the mysteries and always come out with angles that people fail to see.

When you do this consistently, and you make such information available consistently, your website will seem to have a life of its own and will start bring you a steady stream of daily visitors.

6. Yahoo answers

Most people don’t know this yet and it works. You see, Yahoo has a question and answer section where people from all over the world participate. All you have to do is participate and start helping people by answering there questions, especially questions related to your websites. Since your website will go with each question you answer, in time, you will start seeing a steady flow of good traffic to your website daily just from Yahoo answers alone.

7. PPC

PPC stands for Pay Per Click and it is a form of ingenious advertising where you only pay for the results of your advert. You can use such a programme to drive tons of traffic to your website. Examples of places where you can get pay per click advertising includes Google Adwords www.Google.com/adwords, Yahoo Publishing Network www.publisher.yahoo.com, www.FastClick.com, www.BidVertiser.com, www.Publisher.TargetPoint.com, www.kontera.com, www.chitika.com etc

8. Videos

Put your video on YouTube and you can end up with millions of visitors to your website literally overnight. All you need is to do a video recording. You can even use your webcam to do it. The video might be a demonstration about how to do something, how to use a product, or something just hilarious and insert your website url on the video.

Overnight, you can get a stampede of visitors. I have seen this happen over and over on YouTube.com for instance I recently saw a guy playing guitar on YouTube (the guy was very good of course) and on the video was his website which was selling an affiliate product about playing guitar.

The amazing was that when I looked at how many times the video had been viewed, it ran into over 1million views, which means this guy has had 1million+ visitors and only God knows how many sales of the affiliate product.

9. Use Free Gifts

Anyday, anytime, anywhere, free gifts work because people love free stuff. You will attend a free seminar if I organised one. You will download my free book once I say it is free and guess what, people will flood to your website when you tell them you have something free for them.

10 Technorati

When it comes to blogs, technorati is the place. You can use this website to pull some dangerous traffic to your own website. www.Technorati.com

11. Search Engine Traffic

Search engines get a load of visitors daily. If you can get your website to show up on major search engines, you will get good traffic delivered to you automatically without any payment from you. Find out courses and materials on search engine traffic and implement it on your website projects.

12. De.li.cious

www.Delicious.com This site is a kind of social bookmarking site where anyone can come and keep a link to something he or she likes. For instance, if you visit a website and like it, you can hop over to delicious and bookmark the site, giving you the ability to access these sites anytime you want from anyother computer and anywhere in the world. The links also become available to other people using delicious.

If you have the links of your websites on delicious therefore, you will get a steady stream of traffic quietly without anyone ever suspecting.

13. Blogging

Everyone seems to know about this. A blog is simply a website where you can post information.. something like your personal diary. You can easily start one for free by using www.Blogger.com, www.wordpress.com Once you have your blog running, you can then go over to www.BlogRush.com and use the free tool available to get massive traffic on a daily basis.

14. Joint ventures & Cross Promotions

This is very easy. Just find someone with a website and exchange promotion or advert with the person. Something like; I advertise your site, you advertise mine. This is very effective and works very well with email cross promotions to build your list and get overnight traffic.

15. Tell-a-friend

Put up a “Tell-a-friend” script on the website. Anytime someone comes to your website, they are given the opportunity to tell others about the website and even send them a gift which goes along with the invitation.

You will get great results from this.

16. Social Networking Websites

These sites are becoming a traffic hub. Talk of places like FaceBook, www.squidoo.com, www.myspace.com etc. These sites will pull massive traffic for you.

17. Create Screen Savers & Give It Away

20. Flyers

Do small handbills and flyers and give to people at bus stop, church, seminars you attend, even leave copies at banks, and other public places.

21. Tee Shirts, Mugs..

If you already have a website, you can start giving out Tee Shirts to members. As they wear it everywhere they go, other people will see your website and will come to it. Infact, if you like, you can sell the Tee shirts, mugs, calendars etc from your website. A very good resource for getting this done is www.CafePress.com (make sure you check it out)

22. Word Of Mouth

This one is old fashioned but will always work. Two of my websites is entirely based on this and everyday, I get a fresh, paying customer. At every opportunity you get, tell others about your site and encourage others to tell others about your website.

23. Build Relationships With Others

Never make a mistake about it. You must seek out and build a lasting relationship with other people in the area of focus of your website. When you have a relationship with these people, it becomes easy for you to do JVs, link exchanges and cross promotions and things like that with them.

Also, these other people will always make reference to your website and you will get more traffic as a result.

24. Always Be Creative

Try off the wall ideas. See every situation you encounter as an opportunity. Read new books, keep learning. Don’t allow yourself to be boxed up. I am sure the results you will get will amaze you.
