Various ways of marketing and getting traffic explained! For SA and globally

By Riaan Goussard, 06.11.09 | Comments

Before you can start marketing you should understand your website and marketing system.

First study your website like BeMotivatedToday in South Africa and understand how it works.


You should have a step-by-step system and you have to be consistent. Make a list of things to do every day of the week and tic it off as you complete each task. Talking about a list, you might have heard that people say “The Money is in the List”. This is really true. The most important thing to do is to build your list and build up a relationship with the people on your list.


Before you start advertising or sending out emails it is very important that you check your links and …..double check your links. I will be a waste of your time and even your money if you post ads or send emails but when a prospect clicks on your link it does not work or opens the wrong page.


In the rest of this article I will mention at a few marketing options to use and just briefly look at each option.

The advertising co-operative is a pool of advertising money put together by members to combine advertising resources and share the results equally with all members that put money in the co-operative advertising program. This way better deals on advertising and reduced cost of our ads can be achieved. Very often online money making opportunities offer a co-op. They will usually guarantee results at a specific cost. This can work well but sometimes the leads offered always sign up as free members and never upgrade for anything.

Pay per click (PPC) is an Internet advertising model (like Google Adwords) used on search engines, advertising networks, and content websites, such as blogs, where advertisers only pay when a user actually clicks on an advertisement to visit the advertisers' website. This can work well but you will have to do some research before you use it as it can be expensive if you do not know what you are doing.

Signature Marketing is very simple. It just takes a few minutes to set up and is a completely automated way to advertise your business, by adding your website link in your online "signature blocks". This is easy to set up in your email account. Every time you send an email your signature
(your name and website link) will appear at the end of your mail.

Offline marketing
is advertising your online business through offline channels such as newspapers, magazines, business cards, videos, postcards, flyers etc. Most people who start an online affiliate marketing business ONLY advertise online where competition is at its most fierce.
This can be a huge opportunity for you. Wherever you live, there are people all around you right now who are hoping to find a way to make extra money. You have a great solution for many of these people but they will never know about it until you tell them through your offline marketing efforts.

Webhosting and domain
You will need your own website and domain name. There you can post information for your prospects. You can give away a free gift and get them to opt in on your list.
You can also have different pages with different links to say, your affiliate sites.
Then you can advertise directing prospects to your website where they will see all your information and links. You will not have to advertise separately for your different links anymore. I can recommend GVO for unlimited domain hosting in their state of the art data center! Also unlimited Video Hosting and creation tools, auto responder service, a full lead capture and prospecting system plus so much more.

Another great hosting company is GDI. With both of these you can create your own pages with links and they also offer a business opportunity. You will find information and links to both GVO and GDI on the onlinebusiness.ws site.



Other methods to use that will be discussed in the next article include Free Adboards, online classifieds, search engine submission, lead generators and auto responders, ezines, blogs, social business networking, Craig’s list, articles, warm and cold market, video marketing more.



You can get more information on how to use these methods and Step-by-Step marketing and traffic on sites like BeMotivatedToday from South Africa, NewRichReport and Onlinebusiness.ws
