First create a profile on Twitter.

You can create a profile here >> http://joe-marsh.com/twitter

Your profile will include your username. Your username is what people will associate you with and will brand you… So choose the appropriate name.

Enter your profile information… some information about yourself. Link back to your main site. Use a profile picture and make it a real picture of you. Not something fake. People want to know who you are.

Do a searches on Twitter for people using the terms that are appropriate to your field or niche. Start following these people. Follow 50-100 people each day to keep it simple… You can follow more if you want.

Post status updates… helpful information about your field or niche that others can use. Include links to your site and other sites that are helpful for people in your field or niche.

Continue everyday to follow people and post updates to your account on Twitter. Do this 3 times each day for 15 minute each time and build it from there. If you want… you can spend more time doing this but just be careful. It can become a big time suck and you could find yourself not getting other things done as far as traffic generation.

After you have registered follow me on Twitter. To follow me go here >> http://joe-marsh.com/twitterjoemarsh

There is a right way and a wrong way to purchase traffic. You can use a service that guarantees you traffic (wrong way) or you can use a pay-per-click service (right way). Whatever you do don’t fall for those websites that promise to deliver you thousands of hits in a twenty four hour period.

Let’s take a look at those services. First you don’t know where or how they are generating the traffic. In most cases the traffic is not targeted meaning that it is possible that not a single one of those thousands of visitors has any interest in the topic of your niche. Finally you can’t really be sure that the traffic is ‘real.’

But there is a way to purchase real targeted traffic. You can use Pay-Per-Click advertising through a service such as Google AdWords. When you purchase traffic using this method the traffic is targeted – and real. You don’t pay for a certain number of traffic you pay for each click as the name pay-per-click indicates.

Now if you don’t know what you are doing Pay-Per-Click can be expensive and ineffective. It is important that you make sure that you write a targeted ad first and foremost. It is also essential that you select the right keywords and that you bid the right amount on those keywords.

Google AdWords really makes this very easy. You can type in your main keyword and they will give you a list of other related keywords that apply as well. Next when you set the amount you are willing to pay per click for each keyword you can use the traffic analysis tools in Google AdWords to see where your ad will be listed based on what you are paying per click and how much traffic you can expect from it.

Raise your bid price until you see that you will be listed where you want to be (preferably the first page of search results). Again PPC can be very expensive. Make sure that you know how much you can afford to spend on these ads each week divide it by seven and set a daily budget up in your AdWords account. Also specify how you want those funds spread out through the day.

There are entire courses written on the topic of Google AdWords. I advise that you take one because there are a lot of elements and tricks that need to be learned to make AdWords work out well for you.

Again don’t waste your traffic! Make sure that you are capturing first names and email addresses from the people that arrive at your website through PPC advertising!

In todays lesson you learned to… Determine whether or not you want to purchase traffic and if you do find a good pay-per-click service such as Google AdWords and get set up.

You’ve probably heard about Article Marketing and Forum Marketing. In fact you may even be sick of hearing about it. But are you doing it? The reason that you hear so much about these two marketing techniques is that they work!

Yes article marketing and forum marketing builds traffic slowly. There are faster ways to get traffic. But when you build traffic using these methods as well you are also building your credibility. You are drawing responsive people to your site and if your site is doing its job as well and you get those people on your list you can draw them back time and time again.

Quick side note… If you are not collecting email addresses at your website the traffic that you bring there is essentially wasted. By building an opt-in list you can bring traffic back to your site over and over again and this is essential to online businesses. Email addresses and first names should be collected with an opt-in page or with subscribe boxes located on every single page of your website!

Now let’s start generating some traffic with articles. The concept is that you write an article which should be anywhere from 350 to 750 words in length. You include an author’s resource box at the bottom of your article and your website link is included in that resource box. You submit the article to article directories and ezine publishers.

If you can’t write you can get article written for less than $10 each by a ghostwriter. If you don’t have the time it takes to submit articles you can hire a service to do that for you as well. It is essential that you do article marketing. Article marketing is viral your articles will be used on other people’s websites blogs and in their ezines – spreading the word about your site.

Forum marketing is also important. To do forum marketing you find good well populated forums that relate to your niche. You simply participate in those forums and include a signature file at the bottom of all of your posts that lead people to your website. Forum marketing does not take much time at all once you’ve found the forums that you want to participate in.

Another quick side note… A must of forum marketing is that you contribute to the posts. When you post to the forums make your information helpful don’t just post spam about your web site. Spam being.. hay look at me and go to my site blah blah blah. If you do spam you will quickly find yourself being banned from the forum.

Again these are slow but effective (and free) ways to generate traffic. But no matter how slow they are they are essential to your overall online business because of the virility of these techniques and the credibility that it gives you.

Let’s review what you can do… Write and submit one article each week. Participate in your niche forums on a daily basis posting one message in each forum per day using a signature file that brings people to your website. Create a simple and easy system for yourself.
