You
are being lied to...and It's Costing You a Fortune
Traffic vs. Sales By Terry Dean
Receiving all
the traffic in the world isn't going to help you if you don't
make sales when the traffic gets to your page. A mistake that
I see people make over and over again is to believe the hype
that it is easy to make money online...sign up for several
affiliate programs...put up a page...and then place free
classified ads. This strategy
will not work. It does not work today. It will not work
tomorrow. You cannot just
join affiliate programs and try to generate free traffic to them
(not in the normal ways at least). I have been
interviewing some successful affiliates lately and have found
out an interesting secret...Not a single one of them (not even
one that I have found) just joins an affiliate program and puts
up links or banners on their web page. Every one of
them does something a little unique. One is a search engine
master and spends well over 40 hours a week learning all the
intricacies of the search engines. Another is a master publisher
who publishes a quality ezine every single day. Still another
model of success is becoming an expert at sending out articles
to ezines. You could also create a community atmosphere where
people keep coming back to visit through chats, forums, etc.
Then, make referrals of affiliate programs. These types of
affiliate techniques work, but what people have been publishing
as the easy affiliate opportunity just isn't true. All of the top
affiliates come up with some of their own ideas and lead
generation methods...and none of them rely on just placing a few
ads here and there. Nor do they just put up another banner on
their web page that nobody visits anyway. If you want to
be successful, find someone who is already successful and model
them. HINT:
Don't necessarily always do what they say. Find out what they
are doing and do that! What are the
successful Internet entrepreneurs doing? They are
doing one of two things: 1. Some of the
successful entrepreneurs are creating products or finding unique
products to sell. 2. The rest of
the successful entrepreneurs are building an audience. Those are the
only two ways to be successful on the net. Either sell a product
you control (and don't try to sell something people can find at
the local Wal-Mart store) or build an audience that you can
contact over and over again. If you want
success, you will fit into one of those two classes. If you created
an information product, you are one of the unique product
sellers. If you publish a growing ezine, you have the audience. If you got an
exclusive on a new golf club, you are a unique product seller.
If you run a discussion board that has hundreds of thousands of
visits a month, you have an audience. If you have a
product, you just need to find people who have an audience and
convince them to become affiliates with you or buy advertising
from them. If you have an
audience, you just need to become an affiliate with someone and
endorse their products to your audience. These are the
two hands of Internet success... Please Note:
Some people do quite well as both having ezines, forums, etc.
and also having their own products. They fit in both classes. Is this article
going to make some people angry? It sure is, but
I want you to stop and think for a moment. Can you find
successful people who don't fit in one of those classes? You may say,
"What about the search engine expert?" The answer is
he has an audience. He can generate free leads for ANY product
anytime he wants. Which class are
you in? Do you have a product, an audience, or both? If you don't
fit into one these groups of online businesses, then you don't
have the right vehicle for online success. It would be
like trying to compete in a Nascar stock car race with a
bicycle. You might be
the strongest and fastest bicyclist that has ever walked the
planet, but no matter how hard you work you don't stand a chance
in the Nascar race! Many of the
Internet marketers I meet are just like that bicyclist. They
know they can do it if they just work hard enough, but they
aren't using the right vehicle for the Internet race. Are you using
the right vehicle? Terry Dean, a 5
