Free Internet Marketing Lessons
Get Your Visitors To
Push The Snowball
by Gauher Chaudhry
Do you want to
know the secret of getting thousands of visitors
to your web site?
Think about it for a minute.
If you could get thousands of people to your web
site, you could
sell more of your products or services. You would be
making
more money from your affiliate programs. You would
be capturing
more email addresses to add to your email newsletter
list.
Bottom line, more profits.
So you want to know the secret? Are you ready?
Getting
excited?
Tell the whole world about your web site! Knock on
doors, call
everyone in your city, get some radio time, purchase
newspaper
ads, buy some commercials on TV (preferably during
the Super
Bowl) and you will be all set! Easy eh? Yeah
right...
Let's face it. You will not be able to reach
thousands of
people on your own. Your budget is small and most
importantly,
your time is limited?
So how are you going to bring thousands of visitors
to your web
site? You're not. Your visitors will.
Confused? Don't be. All the big name marketers are
using this
method so why aren't you?
It is easy to turn your
visitors into
promoters for your site by giving them the right
tools.
Here are a few examples:
Referral Scripts - By installing a referral
form on every page
of your web site, you will be encouraging your
visitors to refer
your site to their friends. You can get a free
referral script
from any web site that provides free CGI's. If one
person
refers your site to two people and they in each
refer your site
to another two people each, a viral effect will be
created.
Postcards - By offering free postcards for
your visitors, they
will be sending out postcards to their friends and
relatives
that have a link back to YOUR site. People
retrieving their
postcards will also want to send out postcards from
your site.
If every person sends out two postcards, another
viral effect
will be created that will drive traffic to your web
site.
Word of mouth is the oldest and most proven
marketing method
that will make or break your business. The success
of the movie
"Blair Witch Project" was because of the
positive feedback
people were saying about the movie. There are plenty
of movies
that also bomb because people quickly hear negative
feedback
through word of mouth.
You need to create this effect for your web site.
Word of mouth
will cause a snowball effect that can literally
bring you
thousands of visitors to your web site.
A prime example is the site Uselessfacts.net. Today
it received
close to 5,000 unique visitors. Approximately 1,000
of those
visitors were from referrals and greeting cards.
Also a portion
of the remaining 4,000 unique visitors were from
people who had
bookmarked the site in the past after visiting it
from a
referral or greeting card.
This can be a very powerful marketing technique. The
best part
about this marketing technique is that once you get
these
scripts installed, you do not have to do anymore
work. Just sit
back and watch the traffic roll in.
Here are a couple of sites where you can grab free
viral scripts
for your web site:
CGI City
http://www.icthus.net/CGI-City/
The CGI Resource Index
http://www.cgi-resources.com/
CGIArchives.com
http://www.cgiarchives.com/
CGI-Java.com
http://www.cgi-java.com/
Make sure you follow the instructions very carefully
as it will
help you have the scripts running up in minutes.
Most
importantly, make sure you provide valuable content
on your
site so that people will feel like referring your
site to their
friends and associates.
You don't have to do all the marketing for your web
site.
If you create something of value, your visitors will
do the
marketing for you.
