Get The Traffic Moving!

Now that you've got your niche...and your sub-niche...you've set up your affiliate product programs and you have your site all ready to go....you're wondering 'how to get the traffic moving?'

Here are some important things to keep in mind:

Make sure the content on your (site, blog, lens) is helpful to your visitors.

Give them Quality; don't use information that is copied and pasted from some other site.

Give your visitors the information they are looking for. If you are promoting 'organic dog shampoo'...make sure they know why they need it...and where they can get it. Create the links they need, with your affiliate codes in place.

Create fresh content at least once a week. If you found a new program with some really great 'organic dog food' or a new blog with helpful tips for raising your pet the organic way.

Improve your search engine ranking and your content on keywords related to your topic. But, be sure not to 'over do it'...too many keywords and you'll get dinged for keyword spamming.

You want the customers to find you as quickly as possible...this is why we focused on a sub-niche with so few providers. With the right amount of keyword placement, fresh content, a useful product and good information...you stand a really good chance of being in the top ten searches on Google (for "organic products for dogs".)

As long as your sub-niche is as 'focused' as the one in my example, this should work for whatever product you are promoting.
Improve your odds.

Instead of waiting for the customers to come to you...go to them.

Again, using my sub-niche example, I typed 'forums for pet lovers' in the Google search, and this is what I found.

Be cool about it though...don't join a bunch of forums and start 'spamming' them with links to your 'organic products for pets' site(s).

Join in ongoing discussions, start discussions...focus on pet lovers who maybe don't know about all of the 'organic products' that are available for pets. Then, once you have their interest, direct them to your site(s). It's kind of the 'wait to be invited' approach.

With all of the new sites being built...every single day...on the internet, you can no longer use the approach of "if you build it, they will come." Certainly, they may 'get there' one day, by accident perhaps, but if you seriously want to build a real income from the internet...it's going to take a bit of work on your behalf. Now you have to learn to 'market effectively'.
