Working on my first Cup ‘O Joe this morning :)

And I thought I’d share a quick case study with you…

One of the biggest questions I get from subscribers is:

‘How do I get traffic to my website?’

And today I want to solve that problem for you.

If you’ve struggled to get traffic to your
website, then pull up a chair because I’m
about to whip out the gravy.

Don’t get scared though cause I’m about
to go a little ‘Old School’ on you.

In fact, this traffic strategy that I’m
about to share with you is so simple
that it’s probably hiding right under
your nose.

This traffic source just recently sent us
92 visitors, 37 subscribers and 3 sales
in just ONE hour!!

Are you curious yet?

Lean in just a little closer…

I don’t like to give my secrets out to just
anyone.

Ok… you ready?

This golden traffic ALL came from ONE hour
of forum marketing.

I spent ONE hour providing value in 3 different
forums and in return I got 92 laser-targeted
visitors, 37 subscribers and 3 sales.

Sure… it’s not a windfall – but ANYONE can
do this.

And more importantly, if you’ve got a bit more
time on your hands you can scale this strategy
up even further.

Imagine if you spent 3 hours doing forum marketing.

You could triple your results!

Way too many people are looking for the shiny
new object when ‘Old School’ is still ROCKIN!

If you’d like to find out EXACTLY how I
structure my forum marketing to generate
those kind of results, go here…

In fact, this month I’m doing a LIVE Case Study
where you can watch me step-by-step as I generate
5,000 subscribers in just 30 days.

Lots of marketer’s love to throw out a bunch of
theory. I say, come look at my stats.

Let’s go behind-the-scenes…

Watch exactly what I do over the next 30 days
to generate 5,000 subscribers.

Back to the Lab!

- Kim

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, I’m sure you’ve been hearing the endless chatter about the new Facebook changes.

Like most of their changes, many of the users aren’t too happy about it.

However, after examining the changes more closely, I’ve realized they’re actually pretty cool. In fact, I think many of the changes are going to have a dramatic impact on how bloggers promote their content.

With over 800 million users, Facebook is a traffic powerhouse. But only for those who know how to use it properly.

I have buried myself in the marketing lab over the past couple days so that I can show you exactly how the new Facebook changes will impact your business. And how you can leverage these changes to drive more traffic to your website.

Here’s the lowdown…

Facebook News Feed Vs. News Ticker

One of the most controversial changes is the addition of the News Feed Ticker. Some people hate it while others love it. However, it is an integral part of creating a new, more engaging Facebook platform.

The new Facebook ticker contains everything that happens on Twitter – no matter how trivial the activity. So this section is a bit more like Twitter and will contain a little bit more noise. But at the same time you can keep an eye on anything that might catch you.

The News Ticker contains posts and “activity stories”. This includes friends adding friends, friends commenting on other posts, liking pages, friends posting photos, etc.

Also keep in mind, although the News Ticker is filled with a lot of noise – it can also potentially get your posts some extra exposure. Each time someone likes or comments on your content, that comment will appear in the News Ticker (along with your story, link, photo, etc…) So engaging content essentially gets double exposure (in the news feed and also in the news ticker)

Your Facebook posts now have a longer shelf life due to follow-up comments. Remember, Mark Zuckerberg’s main goal with the new Facebook changes is to increase engagement. So the more you’re able to increase engagement on your Fan Page, the more exposure and traffic you will be rewarded with.

Plus, users can interact directly with items in the ticker. Simply hover over any item from the ticker and the content will expand in a hover window – allowing you to ‘like’, ‘comment’, or ’share’ the content in real time. I have to say this is one of my favorite features – being able to quickly interact with my friends content without ever leaving the home page.

There are also a number of changes that you’ll want to take note of. The first thing you’ll noticed about the News Feed is that you can no longer toggle between Tops News and Most Recent.

Now you have ‘Top Stories’ and ‘Recent Stories’. The Top Stories are located at the very top of your home page. These are the posts that Facebook thinks you will find most interesting based on your interaction in the past. In addition to this personalized ranking factor, the “Top Stories” are also highly influenced by EdgeRank.

So in order to get into this more valuable real estate, you’ll need to focus on high quality content, new layers of multimedia, and engagement.

It’s becoming more important now than ever for us to cut through the noise by creating and sharing high-quality, engaging content.

The New Timeline

Your personal profile page is now called the Timeline. With the new Timeline, Facebook has created a social hub with new ways to express
yourself and tell your story. It’s kind of like your very own personal scrapbook online.

Plus, with the new Timeline, you now have a HUGE cover photo at the top of your page. (840×310px) A massive amount of pixel space to express yourself.

This is a HUGE piece of real estate for expressing yourself, your favorite interests, or cross-promoting your blog, Twitter, and LinkedIn account.

Here are a few creative Timeline cover photos to get your juices going…

Plus, with the new Facebook Timeline design also comes new branding opportunities!

Imagine running a contest where you have your fans pose with your newly published book and post it as their cover photo!

Or simply create a branded cover photo that not only showcases an interesting picture – but also the name of your business, your website, your Facebook
page, and your Twitter profile.

As a business owner, you’ll definitely want to put some thought into how you use this space.

The New Subscribe Button

Facebook has just recently introduced the Facebook ‘Subscribe’ button – which allows users to view other people’s feeds without having to add them as Friends. Very similar to the concept of Twitter and Google+ Circles.

The subscribe button allows anyone to follow your updates without requiring you to follow them back.

This means you can ’subscribe’ to celebrities, journalists, marketers, thought leaders, and anyone else your interested in but don’t know personally. This way,
you can check out their updates without having to be accepted as their friend.

This is also a great branding opportunity for you as a marketer as well. If you’d like to share your public updates with more than just your friends, you can setup a ‘Subscribe’ button on your profile as well.

Here’s how to activate the new subscribe button…

We’re living in a world where our personal life continually slips into the business world and vice versa. And the ‘Subscribe’ button adds an additional layer of access to your followers and fans. Giving them a peak behind the curtain at your personal life – which builds trust, engagement, and raving fans.

This is also a great way to get around the 5,000 friend limit because there’s no limit to how many people can ‘Subscribe’ to your personal profile page.

Plus, Facebook is also allowing you a great deal of control on what you share to subscribers. For example, you can share links and text updates but keep your photos and apps shared only with friends. So you can essential censor what information you want to display – thereby separating your public profile from your personal profile.

In addition, people who subscribe to your page can decide exactly which updates they want to see as well.

As a marketer, this also allows you to gain an additional audience without having to accept each ‘friend’ manually.

New Facebook Buttons

Most of us are familiar with the ‘Like’ button and the ‘Share’ button.

But Facebook is taking it’s social sharing to a new level with 3 new buttons – “Read, Listened, and Watched”.

These will also be followed by a button called “Want”.

It seems as though they’re bringing the Like button to a granular level – creating a more personal and in-depth content sharing platform.

At this point, it’s unclear how these new buttons will affect the Like button. While I’m sure these new buttons will also present some new marketing opportunities for content publishers, it also seems that some of these additional options are simply making it more confusing for the average user.

But it will certainly be interesting to see how these new buttons will affect the Like button.

Facebook Like Vs. Facebook Share

As content creators, the Facebook ‘Like’ & ‘Share’ button have played a HUGE role in getting extra traffic to your blog.

However, in terms of traffic, the Facebook buttons seem to be going through a bit of transition at the moment.

According to Mari Smith (one of the foremost experts on Facebook) – “Facebook “Shares” will become more important than ‘Likes’.”

For the most part, ’shares’ generally have a higher Edgerank score – which leads to more exposure and traffic.

The Facebook Share button is a bit similar to the ‘reblog’ feature on Tumblr. Whenever you ‘Share’ a Facebook story or a new article it will repost the story on your timeline (with a complete description, link, and photo). Whereas the ‘Like’ button simply posts a short line of text to your timeline noting that you ‘liked’ a particular article, photo, Facebook post, etc… So in terms of virtual real estate, the ’share’ button seems to be more powerful.

However, with the rollout of Timeline and Graphrank, it’s still too early in the game to know which buttons will have the biggest impact for marketers and content publishers.

Frictionless Sharing via Apps – Kind of Scary

Although I’m a huge fan of MOST of Facebook’s recent changes, the frictionless sharing via Apps is kind of scary.

Here’s how it works…

Let’s say you’ve installed Facebook’s ‘Spotify’ App and your listening to some of your favorite songs via Spotify.

That information is then automatically shared in the Facebook news feed ‘ticker’.

Or perhaps you’ve installed the Washington Post Facebook App. Each new article you click on via the Washington Post is now automatically shared on Facebook.

Once you approve a media partner app, all of your activity within that app is then automatically shared to Facebook. No need to click any buttons.

At first glance it seems like a content publishers dream come true. But at the same time, it also sounds like a privacy nightmare.

Fortunately, there are a number of privacy settings you can choose to filter and select exactly what you want to share.

As a blogger, this could present a HUGE opportunity for you as well.

It will be interesting to see if more and more bloggers start creating apps to tap into these new traffic opportunities.

New Facebook Page Insights

Facebook is launching a major facelift to Page Insights. If you have a Facebook Fan Page (which I seriously hope you do!) you’re going to be seeing some major updates in the admin area.

Facebook is giving us new tools and statistics, giving us much more information about our fans, the popularity of virality of our content, and overall engagement.

Facebook has launched three new metrics: “People Talking About This”, “Number of Friends of Fans”, and “Weekly Total Reach”.

1. “People Talking About This” is actually a public metric that you can now see on every Facebook Fan Page. It’s located directly underneath the fan count and it shows the number of people on Facebook who have engaged with your page in the last 7 days.

So if you’re boring the crap out of your fans, now everyone will know :)

This metric improves anytime someone engages with your page. This includes anytime a user ‘likes’ your page, posts on your wall, comments, shares a post, answers a poll, or tags your page in an update or in a photo.

It’s essentially the number of people who interact with your content.

2. “Number of Friends of Fans”: This new metric shows the collective number of friends your fans have. This gives page admins a better idea of the potential reach of their page.

3. “Weekly Total Reach”: This new metric is designed to show how many total people have seen content associated with your Page. This also includes any Ads or Sponsored Stories pointing to your Page.

Another very interesting change is that Facebook is now giving us actual numbers for each post so you can see EXACTLY how many people have clicked
on your blog post, video, photo, etc…

I’m sure you’ll see plenty of geek speak thrown around about these new metrics, but the bottom line is that Facebook is giving us more information
about how many people are clicking on your links, commenting on your post, or sharing your post with friends. In return, we’re able to see which types
of content work and which one’s don’t.

New Facebook Advertising Options

Facebook has also just recently released a new ad unit called “Premium Ad Product” – which allows brands to turn their posts into ads. The premium ad unit encourages increased engagement, brand exposure, and virality.

This new ad unit also combines post content with social context. Each premium ad also shows which friends have already ‘liked’ the post. The ad becomes
much more powerful when it is attached by the recommendation of a friend.

Social context is adding a new dynamic to traditional advertising. It’s kind of like a product owner telling you their product is great vs. your neighbor Sally telling you the product is great.

These Facebook advertising options allow you to build word of mouth around your content. One of the hardest parts of creating an online business is
simply getting the ball rolling. That initial bit of momentum. Sponsored advertising allows you to get those eyeballs in front of your content.

Plus, they’re also a HUGE branding opportunity. Imagine your photo being shown on thousands of pages. Regardless of whether or not someone clicks
on your ad, you’re still getting a ton of brand exposure. You are now going to be on the forefront of their minds. And this is very important for creating trust, building relationships, and making sales.

Facebook Pages Now Open

Another big change is that people can now engage on your Facebook Page without “Liking” your Page.

The focus is now much more on engagement rather than how many “likes’ you can get on your fan page. Because fan pages are now open – everyone can
engage, comment, like, and share your content with their friends.

The more engagement you create with your content (likes, comments, shares, etc…) the more likely your story will appear in your Fans’ newsfeeds. Increased engagement = Higher Edgerank. So the more interaction the better, even if it comes from non-Fans.

Fans are certainly still an important metric, but at the same time, the new open pages allow for an increased opportunity in traffic and exposure.

Key Takeaways…

* We are living through the humanization of business. Social media is making it easier than ever to build your audience. But at the same time, social media has also humanized the business experience.

Now, more than ever before, business is about relationships. People are buying from people they know, like, and trust.

So the more you can bring your own personality into your business the better :)

* Facebook likes are becoming less important. You can no longer expect your posts to show up in someone’s News Feed simply because they ‘liked’ your page. Facebook wants to serve up the most relevant, interesting content. Therefore, engagement (likes, shares, and comments) are becoming a much more important metric. Engagement is now the BIGGEST key to getting more exposure on your content.

* Test different TYPES of content to see which ones drive the most engagement.

* Although it’s getting a bit harder to show up in your fans’ news feed, it’s also a HUGE opportunity for marketers and thought-leaders who are committed to creating killer content, engaging their community, and creating fun experiences. Those are the ones who will reap massive rewards. The bar has been raised!

* Although technology is changing rapidly, your main core focus is still all about relationships.

As you guys know, I spend most of my time locked up in
the marketing laboratory. Testing out new traffic
strategies, running split tests and uncovering cool
new marketing methods.

Jeepers… I think the Nerd-O-Meter just went up there ;)

But I’m hot on the prowl so you don’t have to be.

And I’ve uncovered some pretty cool marketing goodies over
the past few weeks that I’d like to share with you.

My way of saying thanks for opening my emails, reading
my articles, watching my videos, and just being the
super cool human being that you are ;)

So…

Time to dish out the good stuff…

Super Cool Traffic Strategy #1:

I found this little doozy by accident…

‘How to Get Crazy Traffic Using SlideShare And Linked’

http://facebook-advertising-marketing.com/how-to-get-crazy-traffic-using-slideshare-and-linkedin/

You’ll definitely want to try this one out :)

Super Cool Traffic Strategy #2:

Did you know that Facebook can take you to the top
of Google in a matter of days?

Pop these keywords into Google to see what I mean…

* Apple MacBook Air MC505LL review
* ASUS N61JV-X2 16-Inch Versatile Entertainment Laptop
* HP Pavilion dv6-6170us Entertainment Notebook PC
* Hamilton Beach 31125 6-slice toaster oven

You’ll find Facebook ‘notes’ ranking in the top 5 for
every keyword above.

Pretty interesting huh?

And keep in mind that these are ‘BUYER’ keyword phrases.
People who are literally on the verge of buying.

I’ll be sharing more with you on
this traffic strategy soon :)

Super Cool Traffic Strategy #3:

Talk about some juicy traffic goodness!

I should probably keep these to myself and just use them in
my own business ;)

But… you know me – I always like to dish out the good stuff!

Hope you enjoyed these little traffic nuggets.

There’s actually a WHOLE lot more where that came from – so
keep an eye on your inbox. I’ve got more goodies to come :)

Cheers,

P.S. If you haven’t signed up for our super cool newsletter, you can do so below…

Traffic is the currency of the web. The more traffic you have, the more
people who will subscribe to your list, buy your products, and spread
the word via social media sites like Facebook and Twitter.

During the past 7 years online I’ve built multiple sites up to 1,000+
visitors per day. With millions of visitors in our web archives, I’ve
learned the hard way which traffic methods are the best and which
one’s are a waste of your time. And in this article I’m going to serve
them up on a silver platter.

Your 21-step roadmap to 1,000+ visitors per day…

Step 1: Create Insanely Useful Content!

The first step to creating massive traffic is to create insanely
valuable content that oozes with personality…

Your voice, Your style, Your very own brand of Kool-Aid.

Unfortunately, voice can’t really be ‘taught’. It has to be
found individually be each person.

It’s a journey of SELF.

It requires us to be something that most of us run from
on a daily basis…

RADICALLY HONEST.

It requires us to pull off the shades, take down our guard
and allow ourselves to be vulnerable.

I relate writing to be much like dancing.

Sometimes you just have to let go.

Otherwise, you end up looking like the Tin Man in the
Wizard of Oz…

Your unique voice is what people will be drawn to.

Building a raving audience of fans online all starts with
mind-blowing pillar content.

Content that makes people think. Inspires. Creates value.
Provides a new perspective. Pushes people out of their
comfort zones. Challenges your readers. And creates
nothing short of a braingasm!

Social media only works when you create content that matters.

Content that’s actually WORTH sharing.

Step 2: Syndicate Your Content Around the Web…

Ok, so now you’ve created your content and posted it to your blog.

Not so fast! You’re job has just begun :)

To get your blog buzzing with traffic, you’re going to need to
get in the trenches.

Content is just the entry fee – now it’s time to play the real game…

Marketing and promotion!

Fortunately, social media is making it easier to share and spread your content than ever before.

EVERYONE online now has a circle of influence that you can tap into IF
you’re providing massive value. And a bit of entertainment doesn’t hurt ;)
Like I often tell my coaching students… “Boredom is the death of ALL
marketing.”

So don’t be afraid to have a little FUN :)

Then, once you’ve pressed ‘Publish’ it’s now time to share your content
on sites like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and other social sharing communities.

Here are the exact steps we take to guarantee we get at least 1,000+ views on
EVERY article we publish…

Step 3. Submit to Twitter.

This should be a no-brainer for you by now.

Unfortunately, I STILL see WAY too many people not using this
platform effectively.

And others who have discounted it all together.

Seriously!?!?

I’m personally using Twitter to drive 1,000+ visitors to my website EVERY single week. And we’re teaching our clients to do the same.

Social media is NO longer an option.

It should be the first place you send your new blog post.

Step 4. Post to Facebook.

Our next stop is good ‘ol Facebook! Which is quickly becoming the #1 traffic source for many websites online.

If you’re not already active on Facebook… it’s time to get your
booty in gear!

When you dedicate yourself to creating truly epic content, Facebook can quickly become a traffic powerhouse for you.

Step 5. Submit to Any Related Blog Carnivals.

Blog carnivals are one of the fastest, easiest ways to increase
your traffic and generate additional one-way backlinks to your
website.

Essentially, a blog carnival is a type of blog event that is
published on a weekly or monthly basis – centered
around a particular topic.

As a blogger, you can submit your latest blog articles to be
included in upcoming blog carnivals.

On the day of the blog carnival, a link to your blog article, along
with a short description is published on the blog host.

Here are some popular blog carnival examples…

http://getoutofdebt.org/29324/awesome-personal-finance-stories-of-the-week
http://freefrombroke.com/best-of-money-carnival-106/
http://www.mypersonalfinancejourney.com/2011/08/best-of-money-carnival-116-who-dropped.html
http://www.freemoneyfinance.com/2011/02/best-of-money-carnival.html

You can submit your latest blog posts to related blog carnivals at
http://blogcarnival.com/bc/.

Or, you can automate the entire submission process using a cool tool
called Xingla Pro

Step 6. Post to BloggersBase.com.

Looking for some instant exposure to your content?

You can instantly increase the number of visitors to any article by republishing it on BloggersBase.com.

Once you’ve published to your own blog, wait a few days. Make sure your page is indexed in Google and then re-post the article to BloggersBase.com.

This alone will put hundreds of extra people in front of your article.

WAY more effective than traditional article marketing.

Stop wasting your time with sites like EzineArticles.com and start
publishing to blogging communites like BloggersBase.com that ACTUALLY
send traffic.

Step 7. Post to BlogEngage.com

Next you’ll be re-posting your article to a site called BlogEngage.com.

Again, very similar to BloggersBase. BlogEngage.com is a popular blogging
community online where you can get additional exposure to your content
and build strong relationships among the blogosphere.

Step 8. Post to Blokube.com.

Blokube.com is a rapidly growing social media network and blogging community.

It was first established in 2010 by a very talented 17 year old high school
student named Devesh.

Aren’t kids smart these days!

Remember though, the key with any online blogging community is to provide
VALUE to others FIRST.

So before you go and start blasting your own articles to the site. First
start sharing OTHER people’s articles. Comment on other people’s articles
and start engaging with the community.

Once you’ve done that, then you can start sharing some of your own stuff.

But get in the trenches first!

Provide value FIRST and you will reap MUCH greater rewards for your efforts
and from the community.

Relationships are the key to building your business faster. Plus, it just
makes things a whole lot more fun :)

Step 9. Post to Niche Social Sites

In addition to sites like BloggersBase.com, Blokube.com, and BlogEngage.com,
there are also tons of niche social sites online that can send you a TON of
highly-targeted traffic.

Sites like ImNewsWatch.com, Serpd.com, Tipd.com (very popular for the finance market), BizSugar.com, BetterNetworker.com, DesignBump.com, DesignFloat.com, Tutorialized.com, and Pixel2Life.com.

ImnewsWatch is one of my own personal favorites. It’s a daily must-read for any and all internet marketing addicts :)

IMNewsWatch is a news aggregator that brings you the latest and greatest
from the IM world on a daily basis. So you can quickly and easily stay
up-to-date on all of the latest IM news, launches, events, and more.

Plus, it’s a great place to submit your own content for additional exposure!

You can submit your latest Internet Marketing articles, news, and product
releases at: http://www.imnewswatch.com/submit-news/

Regardless of your market, there are social communities online where you
can extend the reach of your content.

Step 10: Post your content to the Top Tutorial Sites online.

Tutorial sites are a HUGE, untapped traffic source online. Especially if you publish articles regarding internet marketing, wordpress, SEO, graphic design, web development, programming, or business development.

I’ve personally used tutorial sites to send thousands of extra visitors to my articles.

Submitting your content to tutorial sites is one of the easiest ways to increase your traffic online.

And best of all, these websites simply link BACK to your original article.

So you’re not actually republishing the article, but instead the traffic is coming STRAIGHT to your website.

Here’s a comprehensive list of popular sites where you can submit your tutorials for tons of
extra exposure, traffic, and backlinks…

http://www.buzzblogger.com/500-places-to-syndicate-your-content/

Step 11. Guest post AT LEAST two times per week.

EVERY blogger knows they need traffic. But few are truly willing
to put in the elbow grease it takes to drive significant traffic.

You’ve got to put is some massive hustle… ESPECIALLY in the beginning.

No time for ‘American Idol’ or your latest reality show.

If you’re serious about building a successful online business, you’ll be writing till your eyes bleed… writing killer content not only for your own blog – but also for other blogs.

Guest blogging is one of the fastest ways to start driving laser-targeted traffic to your website.

Plus, there are also a TON of side-benefits to guest blogging…

* High Quality Backlinks
* Increased Exposure to Social Media
* Networking Power – Building a blogging alliance
* Boosts your Brand & Reputation (Authority by association)
* Increased Exposure in the Search Engines

Guest Blogging is one of the best ways to increase your traffic, position
yourself in front of new audiences, and develop solid relationships with
other bloggers.

To give you a quick example, I’ve had my own content published on sites like ProBlogger.net, Rosalind Gardner’s NetProfitsToday.com, LifeHack.org, ZenHabits.net, Site-Reference.com, Pat Flynn’s SmartPassiveIncome.com and many others.

And as a result I’ve received thousands of visitors to my blog.

But even more importantly, I’ve also developed a circle of friends.

You see, PEOPLE are the cornerstone to EVERY business – online or offline.

Building connections and fostering relationships is one of the fastest ways to shortcut your way to success.

Way too many people online are looking for one-off deals when they could be forming long-term, strategic partnerships.

The other big key to guest blogging is to focus on the most popular
blogs within your market. Don’t go after little small blogs just
cause you think they’ll accept you.

Go big or go home.

With guest blogging, you’re only going to see truly viable results
if you zone in on the top traffic blogs within your market.

That’s where you’re going to see you’re best results (sending hundreds
of visitors your way for each guest post).

If you’re looking for places to guest post, you can search over 500+
websites that accept content submissions at…
http://www.buzzblogger.com/500-places-to-syndicate-your-content/

(Each section is broken down by category so you can quickly and easily
find the top guest posting opportunities within your market.)

QUICK TIP: Once your guest post has been published, don’t think that you’re
job is complete! In fact, there are a number of things you should be doing
AFTER your post has been published.

First and foremost, be sure to respond to each and EVERY comment.

Blogging is a social activity. Once your post has been published, you’ll want
to monitor it closely for people who leave comments and respond to each one.

This shows that you genuinely want to provide value and you’re not
just in it for the extra traffic, exposure, etc…

Plus, it’s also a great way to show your gratitude for being given the opportunity
to guest post. Always remember that every commenter is potentially a new
connection, new reader, or a new fan. So it’s in your best interest to engage
with as many readers as possible.

In fact, what I like to do is send out a few personalized emails to a couple
of my favorite commenters. Super simple – but one of the fastest ways to
create raving fans!

Above all, remember that at the end of the day, this is all about relationships –
real connections and interactions. You have to care about your readers
MORE than you care about the money. Otherwise, you’ve already lost
the game.

Step 12: Build Your Blogging Network

One of the fastest ways to grow your blog is to build your own blogging network – or what I often refer to as a blogging alliance.

A blogging alliance is basically a small handful of like-minded bloggers who strategically work together to grow their blogs faster.

When I think about a blogging alliance I often think about the Fantastic Four. As you probably know, the Fantastic Four is a group of superheroes who work
together synergistically.

And a blogging alliance is basically the same thing. A handful of bloggers
who strategically work together to grow their blogs faster.

If you look at any of the most popular blogs online – you’ll find that almost ALL of
them have formed a strategic alliance of some sort – whether it be informal or
strategically planned.

No one gets to the top by themselves. You simply cannot build your business to
its greatest potential without also building relationships with other like-minded
entrepreneurs.

Just like no single person within the Fantastic Four would be as powerful by
themselves. It’s the collective power of the group that makes them so incredibly
effective.

But you might be wondering…

What does a blogging alliance actually do?

Well, the possibilities are truly unlimited, but here are some great examples:

Members of a blogging alliance Link to each other. Comment on each other’s
blogs. Retweet each other’s content. Stumble each other’s content. Promote
each other’s Facebook Fan Pages. Swap guest posts. Interviews. And much more…

Whenever you need some help voting up your content, you can call upon your
blogging buddies to help you out.

With a group of blogging friends, you literally have traffic on tap simply
by sending out an email, IM, or Skype message.

Always keep it casual and relaxed though, just like you would treat a friend.

“Ex. Hey Chris, just wanted to show you one of my latest blog posts (7 Marketing Lessons You Can Learn from Taylor Swift). Thought you might like it since you’re a Taylor Swift junkie. lol… If you’d like to tweet it or stumble it that would be really cool as well.

Also, feel free to send me any of your upcoming blog articles. I’d love to check them out and give ‘em some link love :)

Cheers,

Kim”

Important Note: Above all, remember to focus on what you can do for the OTHER person first.

If you go into this thinking only about yourself and what you can get from the
relationship – it simply won’t work.

A blogging alliance is a way to connect with like-minded entrepreneurs.
The synergies and benefits that come from that are simply a by-product
of the relationship. But the RELATIONSHIP comes first.

And when you put the RELATIONSHIP first. When you put GIVING first, you’ll be
amazed at all of the incredibly powerful synergies that come from that.

Step 13: Forum Marketing (Old School is Kool!)

I’m talkin’ old school like Monopoly and your first Nintendo. Remember the days!

Sometimes the oldies are still the best :)

And the same is true online.

Most people discount forum marketing cause they’re too busy searching
for the next bright shiny object.

But I’m here to tell you that old school is kool!

And…

It’s one of the FASTEST ways to drive laser-targeted traffic to your website.

Forums put you DIRECTLY in front of your target market. You can literally
have traffic on tap within 5 minutes.

I personally use forums to siphon off thousands of visitors every single month.

The key here is to provide tremendous value to the community. Much like social
media, forums are communities and the key to successful forum marketing is to
interact with the community and provide insane value.

Give away your very best information and you will get tons of free traffic and
quickly build your reputation as an expert in your field.

More Value = More Traffic

The more value you provide, the more people who will come to visit your site
through your signature link.

It’s NOT about quantity. It’s about quality.

Spend one hour a day contributing world-class value and you’ll get 100x
more traffic than if you spent an hour making a ton of replies.

Aside from the traffic benefits, forums also allow you to make connections
with other marketers in your niche. I have met a number of strategic business
partners directly from forums.

As always, it comes down to relationship building. Look for ways that you can provide value to the OTHER person first and you will quickly build lots of mutually beneficial relationships.

There are lots of great people to connect with on the forums. You can find
potential guest posters, ad swap partners, experts that can barter services,
collaborate with on a product, etc…

The opportunities are endless when you focus on building long-term win-win
relationships.

Step 14: 2 Solo Ads Per Month

Solo Ads allows you to send a solo email to someone ELSE’S subscriber list.

Meaning that you are able to get your squeeze page in front of thousands of people for just a couple hundred bucks.

You could literally use this ONE strategy alone to build your entire business.

There are hundreds of list owners online who will allow you to advertise in their newsletters.

Just to give you a quick example, I paid $600 for a solo ad a couple months
back that went out to over 60,000 subscribers.

From that promotion, I received 890 laser-targeted visitors, 483 new
subscribers and 23 new customers.

So for me, it was well worth the investment.

Plus, those subscribers will generate many more sales on the backend
and via my follow-up sequence.

The biggest key to paid advertising is that you MUST know your numbers.
You must know, on average, how much each customer and subscriber is
worth to you.

Based on that data and knowledge, you are then able to decide which
advertising sources are profitable.

And the higher your visitor value, the more advertising opportunities that
become available to you.

Some of my best solo ad spots include:

Heri Rosyadi
John Cornetta
BizWeb2000
Imran Qureshi
WF Banner Ads (Killer!)

I REALLY probably shouldn’t just give those away.

BUT…

You know me, I like to dish out the good stuff :)

Some other solo ad spots that I’m looking to test out soon include:

http://FormidableMarketers.com/solo-ads (Heard really good things about these guys from multiple marketing friends.)
http://opportunity-advisor.com/soloadbooking.html (Gary Baker)
http://www.safe-swaps.com/list-building/tutilee.html?tab=solo_sell (Tuti Lee)
http://profile.safe-swaps.com/thevinsta (Vincent Craine)

*** http://soloaddirectory.com/ – A good list of solo ad providers by Reed Floren.

* Plus, once you’ve found the best newsletters to advertise in, you
can basically put your traffic systems and lead generation on
autopilot.

In fact, you could even set up deals with other newsletter owners to
where you get a discount by paying to advertise in their newsletter
for 6 months in advance.

This way, you’ve put your traffic generation on autopilot. You’ve
created a ‘system‘ in your business that will continue to work for
you on autopilot. And those are the best types of traffic sources
to have because consistent lead flow is the key.

Step 15: 2 Ad Swaps Per Month

Once you’ve started using the traffic strategies above to
build your initial seed list – you now have some massive leverage
in your business that you can start using to scale your traffic
even faster.

This is why it’s is SO important to build REAL assets in your business.

To focus ALL of your marketing on building a subscriber list. Because
now you can start exchanging traffic with OTHER marketers online.

You can now start exchanging traffic via ad swaps, twitter swaps,
Facebook swaps, article swaps, banner swaps, thank-you page ad swaps, etc…

Are you starting to see the power of leverage in your business?

*** If your business is moving slowly right now. It’s most likely because
you haven’t built that initial momentum and leverage into your business.

Now, ad swaps in particular are one of the fastest ways to grow your
subscriber list online.

Ad swaps allow you to add 200-500 subscribers in a single day!

Plus, they’re super simple to set up as well.

Essentially, an ad swap occurs when two list owners each
agree to mail their list about the OTHER person’s free offer.
This is usually a free offer placed on a squeeze page in exchange
for someone’s name and email address. As a result, they are both
adding hundreds of subscribers to their lists.

Here are some places online where you can find other list
owners who are actively looking to do ad swaps:

Warrior Forum JV section
IMAdSwaps.com
Safe-Swaps.com (One of my favorites!)
AdSwapFinder.com
ListSwapper.com
HonestWorkFromHomeSuccess.com
UltraSwaps.com

Quick Note: Keep in mind that whenever you’re doing ad swaps, you should not base the ad swap on the number of subscribers someone has but rather on the average number of click-throughs they get in each email. Lots of marketers have big lists but that does not necessarily mean that they are responsive lists. So base your swaps on how much traffic they can generally send rather than just the number of subscribers itself.

Also remember to keep your ad swaps limited to about 3 per month.

There are WAY too many marketers out there going hog wild with these ad swaps and they end up ruining their list because of it.

Instead, you need to keep your ad swaps very limited and ONLY do them with people who are providing MASSIVE value. Remember, your reputation is paramount and you must guard your list at all times.

That means making sure that you always have THEIR best interest in mind. So we ONLY swap ads with the cream of the crop – people who we KNOW are going to provide our subscribers with MASSIVE value on an ongoing basis.

Step 16: Newsletter Syndication

Want some FREE Advertising?

You can essentially get solo ads for FREE by submitting an article
to be published in their newsletter.

While others pay hundreds of dollars for advertising you can skip
to the front of the line with just one good article.

I did this over and over again when I was just getting started online
and it was my #1 traffic source.

In exchange for providing your world-class content to other people’s
newsletters, you get instant exposure to thousands of laser-targeted
subscribers. And of course at the end of that article is a link that points
back to your website – sending you hundreds (if not thousands) of visitors.

People who have newsletters, membership sites, and other content driven
assets have a HUGE responsibility to continuously crank out killer content.

This opens up a HUGE opportunity for you if you’re willing to put in a
little bit of time to create a value-driven article that their subscribers
will enjoy.

There are no submission fees, no advertising fees… just a bit of your
time is all it cost to get access to HUGE mailing lists.

You’re basically getting FREE marketing and exposure that’s worth
hundreds of dollars per article.

The best way to find potential ezines to publish your articles is
to use the DirectoryOfEzines.com.

I’ve been a member of the DOE (Directory of Ezines) for over three years
and I highly recommend it if you’re looking to do any sort of ezine
advertising or if you’re wanting to find large ezines that accept article
submissions.

This is the place to go.

http://www.directoryofezines.com

The directory of ezines lets you search thousands of different ezines. You
can sort them by category, number of subscribers, and more. You can also
filter your search for ezines within your category that accept article
submissions.

Do you see how powerful this is? Most of these ezines are charging
hundreds of dollars to advertise in their newsletter. However, by writing an
article for them, you can get all of that exposure and traffic for free.

Step 17: Webinar Swaps

We’re going to get a bit more advanced here.

If you’ve got the chops, this is definitely one of the best ways to grow your list quickly.

There a number of different ways to use webinars to grow your subscriber list.

The first is to approach other list owners about doing a special LIVE webinar for their subscribers.

This works EXTREMLY WELL because it’s a completely different approach than
what MOST people are doing online.

You’re actually offering to provide VALUE to their subscribers FIRST. You could
approach them in the manner of… “Hey, how about we do something special for
your subscribers. I’ve been doing a lot of webinars with other marketers lately
and we’ve been getting a ton of really great feedback. I’d love to do a special call
with your subscribers where I talk about my top 5 traffic sources – nothing held
back. The call itself is packed with high-quality content. If you’d like we could
even setup a webinar swap and I’ll introduce you to my subscribers as well. Let
me know what you think! – Kim”

This sort of approach allows you to instantly stand out from the rest of the
crowd.

People are generally just approaching people about promoting a product launch
so when you approach them with something different – something that offers
VALUE to their subscribers – you instantly stand out from the crowd.

On that webinar you offer a TON of exceptional content – nothing held back.
And then at the end – you just do a short 5-10 minute promo.

Basically saying that if you’d like more content like this, you can
check out our membership site at www.mysite.com.

To really top it off, why not just give your webinar partner ALL (100%) of the affiliate commissions!

Seriously…

I know it might sound crazy but you could grow a rabid list of subscribers
using just this ONE strategy.

You deliver a value-packed webinar, you do a short promo at the end and give 100% commissions and in return you get all of the subscribers who
sign-up for the webinar.

This is super easy to do using something like http://webinaroptin.com/ or http://webinarbridge.com/

Traffic equation in a nutshell : Provide MASSIVE value = Generate MASSIVE Traffic

The more value you provide, the more traffic you’ll get.

Step 18: Rocket Deals

This next strategy is one of my all-time favorites. You could literally build your
entire business around this one strategy alone.

I call them ‘Rocket Deals’. Put together 3-5 rocket deals and you can easily put
your traffic on autopilot, sending 1,000-5,000 visitors to your website every
week. Without any work on your part.

It all runs on autopilot.

So, here’s how you set up a Rocket Deal…

It’s basically an exchange of virtual real estate.

The goal is to get your ad on the OTHER person’s thank-you page.

The first thing you’ll want to do is start building a relationship with the other
person. Find out what you can do for them first.

- Guest post on their blog.

- Tweet their content.

- Send them a video testimonial.

- Do a webinar for their subscribers. Do an ad swap, etc…

Then, you’ll send them an email similar to the following in order to setup the Rocket Deal…

Some potential virtual real estate that you can exchange includes:

Thank-You Pages
Log-Out Pages
Autoresponder Follow-Ups
Exit Pops
Member’s Area
Bonuses
Content Sharing
Upsells
Banner Space
WSO Bonuses
Newsletter Inserts
Footer Links in Your Email

So you’re sending them a LOT of traffic each week, each month all on autopilot
and all that you ask of them is that they put YOUR ad on their thank-you page.

The thank-you page is one of the highest traffic pages on many sites – especially
with people who are doing a lot of ad swaps or growing their list on a regular basis.
And of course, those are the sort of people you’ll want to setup these rocket deals with…

People who are consistently and actively growing their subscriber list.

This is a win-win deal. It’s an offer that’s hard to refuse because I’m
offering them right up front a TON of value – offering to send them hundreds of
visitors on autopilot each and every week – In return for them putting my ad on
their thank-you page.

Do this with just 3-5 people and you can push 10,000 – 20,000 visitors to your
website every month, all on autopilot. That’s how powerful it can be when you
set up these type of integration deals with strategic partners.

And remember, we’re not looking to develop relationships with just anyone and
everyone. We’re looking for strategic, long-term relationships to setup these sort
of win-win deals over the long-term.

You’re looking for people who already have access to the traffic. People who do
a lot of ad swaps, have a high-traffic website, have a high-traffic forum, etc…
Those are the type of people you want to strike up deals with.

So find the people who own the traffic and then create an irresistible offer that
will allow you to swap virtual real estate.

Step 19. Find 2 new banner advertising spots per month.

If you’ve been following me for long, then you’ll know that I LOVE free traffic :)

However, if you’re running a serious business online then paid traffic should definitely be a part of your overall strategy.

Once you’ve created a high-converting sales process, you can use paid advertising to literally put your traffic on autopilot.

But NEVER pay for advertising blindly! You should ONLY be paying for advertising if you have proper tracking in place. You MUST know exactly how much your paying for each lead, sale, customer, etc…

My favorite testing and tracking tool is Adtrackz Gold.

Once you’ve found some highly effective advertising spots, you can then start
working out custom deals for increased exposure and traffic.

For example, let’s say you’ve found a good banner spot on a related blog that’s
performing well for you. Why not approach the blog owner and offer to pre-pay
for 6-months of advertising. And in return, not only do you get your banner
spot – but you also get your content featured once per week with a link
pointing back to your site in the resource box.

This is a HUGE win-win for both parties. The blogger is getting paid in advance
while also getting some exclusive content to publish each week. And in return,
you get ongoing exposure to an audience that is now being pre-sold through
YOUR content.

There are so many unique, custom deals you can setup with blog owners online.

It’s a shame that so few people are thinking outside the box. But good for us
cause we’re now able to approach those bloggers with unique, win-win deals.

Step 20. Send AT LEAST 1 Thank-You note per day.

Send at-least one thank-you note per day. The most successful people online are
those who build a rich network of friendships.

This can be an email, a postcard, or even a hand-written note that you send to
a customer, a subscriber, a blogger, or simply to someone who has re-tweeted
your content.

I promise you, by the end of the year, this small gesture will produce exponentially
more than just 365 new raving fans. You will have created a network of influence,
comprised of loyal JV partners, ambassadors, and long-term friends.

Step 21. Have FUN!

Hey, you made it to the very last step. I’m impressed :)

And you’re in for a treat because step #21 is really the
secret sauce of success.

Having FUN!!

You must be passionate about the game of business.

And most importantly, you must be passionate about your
subscribers and fans.

Success requires a BURNING DESIRE, an all-consuming obsession.

This is NOT about buying another course or reading another ebook.
This is about doing it, doing it, doing it.

Building a business requires an amazing amount of persistence and
an overwhelming desire to succeed. And that kind of persistence
MUST be backed by PASSION. Passion is what gets you up in the
morning and keeps you working late into the night.

If you want to win this game, you must center your business around
something you truly love. Don’t choose a market just because it’s
profitable. You’ll lose interest quickly… and some of you probably
already know what I’m talking about :)

Building a successful business requires a wellspring of passion, desire,
and plenty of late nights. And if you’re not building your business around
something you love, you’ll never have what it takes to see it through.

You have to love the journey more than the results. You have to love your
customers more than the bottom line.

Commit to something greater than yourself. Devote yourself to your community.
Focus on providing overwhelming value and you’ll be surprised at how quickly
success comes your way.

Leave me a comment below…

It looks like the clear blue ocean and the Florida sun are doing me some good
cause I’ve got some extra juicy traffic tips for you today :)

3 Unusual traffic strategies for 2011!

I’m betting you haven’t heard of these…

1. Spy on Bit.ly Statistics

I originally heard about this little trick from Jason Fladlien.

But now that I’ve done a bit of testing with it myself I have completely
fallen in love.

You know how I love new traffic tips.

But this one is way outside the box.

This one will show you EXACTLY how much traffic your competitors are getting
from specific traffic sources.

It’s a cool little trick for showing the visitor statistics of any bitl.y URL.

Not just your own, but ALL bit.ly URLs :)

As you probably know, bit.ly is one of the most popular URL shortening services
online. It also gives you lots of cool analytics data like number of clicks,
locations, referrers, time of clicks, etc..

To view the stats of any bit.ly url, simply add a “+” sign to the end of
any bit.ly url.

For example, http://bit.ly/aDB4eU would become http://bit.ly/aDB4eU+.

If you enter http://bit.ly/aDB4eU+ into your URL bar, you’ll instantly
be greeted by some hidden competitive intelligence :)

That link is actually one that I found for a Warrior Forum banner ad.
So this person is using a bit.ly url to track exactly how much traffic
they’re getting from their Warrior Forum banner ad.

And as a result, you get to take a sneak peek at all of their data as well.

Pretty cool, huh?

Simply add a ‘+’ plus sign to the end of any bit.ly link and you’ll instantly
be able to tap into data that would generally never be available to the public.

Want to see how much traffic Mashable.com gets from Twitter?

Simply go to their Twitter stream – http://twitter.com/mashable

And add a ‘+’ plus sign to the end of any of their tracking links.

They have their own custom version of bit.ly so the links look a little different
but the tracking works the same.

So you could change http://on.mash.to/gwPXIc to http://on.mash.to/gwPXIc+.

You’ll notice that link has received over 5,000 clicks.

It also shows you the number of retweets, Facebook Shares, Likes, and Comments.

Some other URL shorteners that allow you to use this same strategy include:

http://on.fb.me/

yhoo.it
pep.si
cs.pn
tcrn.ch

The links above are private label versions of Bit.ly (Pro Version).

Here’s another cool idea for you…

And I’m almost hesitant to give this one away but you know
me – I don’t hold anything back ;)

If you have an affiliate program, one really cool thing you could
do to activate your affiliates is to provide them with custom
Wordpress plugins that they can install on their blog to automatically
include their affiliate link.

The possibilities are nearly endless here.

You could create a custom Wordpress plugin to:

* Change their 404 Error Page to a Custom Page that promotes your free gift (affiliate link attached).

* Footer Slideup that promotes your free offer or points to your sales page or free gift (with the
blogger’s affiliate link attached).

* Sidebar Widget that automatically inserts one of your banners where the affiliate / blogger gets
to choose the size and insert their own affiliate link.

* Sidebar Widget that automatism pulls the latest blog posts from your website and each person
who clicks on one of the links is automatically cookied with the blogger’s affiliate id.

* A custom wordpress plugin that integrates your banners into their content – tagged with their affiliate id.

* Create a custom Wordpress plugin that automatically converts certain keywords (within the blog content)
into affiliate links that point to your product page.

Are your wheels starting to turn now?

There are sooo many things you could do with custom Wordpress plugins – allowing your affiliates to
easily integrate your offers, your free gifts, and your content into their website.

But you might be thinking…

“Kim, I’m not a programmer!”

No worries there.

I’m not either ;)

You can get custom Wordpress plugins created for you at:

http://hirewordpressexperts.com/
http://wordpressfreelance.com/

You can get simple plugins created for you VERY affordably.

But imagine how cool it will be for your affiliates when they can simply login to their
Wordpress admin area, activate your plugin and automatically start making commissions
on your product.

Pretty cool!

3. 100% Instant Commission Affiliate Program

While this might not be a new strategy – so few people realize it’s potential that it may
as well be the biggest secret of 2011.

I can not even begin to describe to you the power of a 100% instant commission affiliate program.

That means your affiliates get paid 100% commissions – straight to their PayPal account as soon
as they make a sale. This is a HUGE incentive for affiliates because they don’t have to wait
weeks to get paid.

They get paid the minute they make a sale.

In fact, one of our subscribers emailed me today asking if the 100% commission model would work
well in the tennis market.

Here’s what I wrote back to him…

“I think 100% commissions would be AWESOME in the tennis niche BECAUSE
no one else is doing it.

You would instantly stand out from the crowd and it would make it much easier
for you to recruit affiliates. When you approach an affiliate offering to give
100% commissions vs. 50% commissions it makes a BIG difference.

And the cool thing is that no one else is doing it cause they’re all too scared
and they don’t realize the enormous potential of this thing when you do it
correctly.

What lots of product owners don’t realize is that you need to craft a killer offer
for your affiliates (not just for your product). You want to literally SELL your
affiliates and that means creating an offer they can’t refuse.

The other piece of the puzzle that you must have in place is a proper back-end
funnel.

You can give 100% commissions on the front-end and then 50% on the upsell.

You can funnel your customers into a membership site on the product download
page, thank-you page, etc…

And then of course, you can funnel your customers into higher and higher levels
of value and price on the backend.

But there are LOTS of ways to make a TON of money and at the same time give
100% commissions on the front-end.

It’s all in the way you structure your sales funnel.

Plus, the cool thing about building up a 100% commission affiliate program is that
your affiliates will literally drive all the traffic you could ever want.

There’s no need to focus on any other traffic strategy because your affiliates will
gladly do all the hard work for you when you reward them properly.

And so now you have an automatic lead machine that generates hundreds of
subscribers and customers every week (all on autopilot).

In regards to price, I would always create a front-end offer priced at $17-$57 max.

Remember the goal here is not to make a ton of money on the front-end product.

The goal is to pull in as many customers as humanly possible on the front-end.

Because a customer is worth at least 10x as much as a traditional subscriber.

Your big money is made on the backend.

On the front-end, you want to create a low-priced product that converts like
crazy and creates a ‘Wow! experience’ for the buyer.

From there, you funnel them into higher and higher levels of value and price.

This could be LIVE webinars, a membership site, coaching, etc…

And those offers could be made on the upsell of your front-end offer. Remember,
you don’t have to give 100% commissions on your upsell. In fact, I’m currently
changing my offer over to where the upsell is a membership site (and all of that
will go to me) – funneling people into our membership site.

Hope this gives you some good ideas!

Cheers,

Kim”

Tutorial Sites:

Tutorials are a HUGE untapped traffic source online. If you have a website related to graphic design, wordpress, web development, SEO, marketing, or programming, then you can use tutorials to send thousands of visitors to your website.  There are hundreds of websites online that you can submit your tutorials to. One of the most popular is Instructables.com.

Here’s a more complete list of popular sites where you can submit your tutorials for tons of extra exposure, traffic, and backlinks…

*** http://www.noupe.com/

*** http://www.tutorialized.com – (This one is one of my favorites because it has a

section for marketing and SEO.) This site alone has sent me thousands of visitors.

Videos are a search engine powerhouse.

In fact, according to Forrester Research, videos are 50 times more likely to rank on the first page of search engines than traditional text pages.

I’d say that’s pretty powerful!

But…

That’s not what we’re not going to be talking about in this article.

Instead, we’re going to go a bit underground…

As I reveal some of the best, untapped traffic strategies for driving thousands of visitors to your video.

I’m going to teach you how to get thousands of extra views on your video using ning syndication, video embedding, and viral voting.

So without further ado, let’s dive in…

1. Embedding Your Videos.

There are lots of sites that will allow you to embed your videos for further promotion, traffic, and exposure.

Some of my favorites include WonderHowTo.com and ImBroadcast.com. Both of these sites will allow you to ‘embed’ your videos from sites like YouTube, MetaCafe, or any other video site that gives you embed code.

Some other sites where you can embed your video include:

http://www.sutree.com

This is one of the easiest ways to get hundreds (and sometimes
even thousands) of extra visitors for your video. I’ve seen VERY
few people taking advantage of this strategy, so I hope you
start using it before the rest of the world starts catching on ;)

2. You can also embed your video on Ning Networks for extra
traffic.

Ning is a highly powerful, but massively untapped traffic source
for videos.

Ning is basically an online platform that allows people to create
their own social networks.

Best of all, each of these networks allows you to submit articles, blog posts, and videos.

So, for example, in my market I could submit my video to the
following Ning networks:

http://sta.rtup.biz/ (75,280 members)
http://www.twittermoms.com (25,638 members)
http://www.viralnetworkers.com (8,456 members)
http://homebasedbusiness.com/ (15,454 members)
http://www.tweetbook.tw (24,619 members)
http://startupspace.ning.com/ (29,564 members)
http://liveops.ning.com (15,846)
http://mombloggers.ning.com (9,712 members)
http://jvvillage.ning.com/ (1,334 members)

Thus, allowing me to get my video in front of thousands of
laser-targeted prospects.

You can do the same thing with your videos.

Simply go to Ning.com and search for a community related to your
target market. Find one with over 1,000 members and start
getting involved in the community.

From there you can start submitting your YouTube videos, which
are featured on the FRONT PAGE of each Ning Community.

Ning communities are one of the biggest untapped traffic sources
online.

(* Quick Tip: You can use a similar strategy with forums. Forums are a great place to post your video, especially if you’re delivering high-quality content. Simply start a new thread on a
related forum and give it an enticing title. This is a great way to get the conversation started. You can also use your video to respond to commonly asked questions within the forum. Most forums are delighted for you to post your videos (as long as it’s good content). Just make sure you get a feel for the general guidelines first.)

3. Viral Voting – One of my faves ;)

Looking to give your video some social voting power?

There are 5 websites online that will help drive your video to the top of the most popular social media sites online.

The Unified Tribe
Synnd.net
Facebook Tribe
SponsoredTweets.com
StumbleUpon Ads
MicroWorkers.com
WebeServe.com

Now, let’s go into each of those in a bit more detail…

The Unified Tribe is a paid membershp site that uses the power of
the community to vote up each other’s content.

I have to admit, when I first heard about this I was pretty skeptical.

But I decided to test it out and give it a whirl.

48 hours later I had an additional 875 visitors to my website directly from the blog posts that I had submitted to the Unified Tribe Feed.

As you can imagine, that pretty much cleared up any doubts I was
having :)

The website is very intuitive and easy to use. It’s basically run on a point system. You get points for voting on other people’s content and you then use those votes to post your own content. So member’s must vote on other people’s content in order to post their own.

But best of all, there is a very high-quality filter here. All of the content is top-notch.

Like I said, there is a monthly membership fee, but I find it well worth the price. In return, you get voted up on the top social media sites online – Twitter, Facebook, Digg, and StumbleUpon.

The next social voting site is Synnd.net. Syndd is similar to the
Unified Tribe in that it uses the power of the community to vote
up your content.

In fact, Synnd has a community of over 800+ people who will vote
up your content.

The biggest difference that it has in comparison to the Unified
Tribe is that the voting process is completely automated. Each user has software installed on their computer that automatically submits users submissions throughout the day.

But again, a very powerful system.

Synnd gives you the propulsion you need for viral propogation.

Next up is the Facebook group called (TSA) Tribe Syndication Association.

This is a Facebook group that’s dedicated to helping its members
syndicate each others content.

Once again, leveraging the power of the community.

Whether you want more views on your video, more comments on your
blog posts, or more exposure to your website, TSA can help you do
it.

The main problem that can come up with a volunteer system like
this though is that people don’t have the same incentive to
continue voting for the other members.

It works more on the honor system – Which is good, but not as
sustainable or consistent. Whereas the 2 systems above work
EVERY time as long as you’re submitting top-quality content.

The next site I’d like to introduce you to is SponsoredTweets.com.

This site essentially allows you to set up paid Twitter campaigns
where you can have multiple people voting on your content.

You’re also able to choose exactly who you want to retweet your
content. You can search their database based on followers, ratio,
country of residence and more.

They will provide you with a list of Tweeters that meet your criteria.

You can then make offers to the people you pick.

This one can get a bit pricey compared to the other options we’ve talked about, but still a very effective way to give your content that initial boost it needs to gain momentum.

StumbleUpon Ads (https://www.stumbleupon.com/ads/) are a similar
concept. You pay just 5 cents per view.

Plus, videos are VERY popular on StumbleUpon. You can use
StumbleUpon Ads to give your video the initial boost it needs to
go viral.

For example, you could pay $10 for StumbleUpon ads and then let
organic voting do the rest for you.

Once you’ve given it that initial boost, people will start voting naturally as long as you have good content.

Next up is a very unique website called MicroWorkers.com.

This is a really cool site where you can get people to do small jobs for you.

You can pay people to tweet your content, Stumble your content,
blog about your product, Digg your website, post comments on your video, rate your video, and much more.

So, for example, let’s say you want 50 people to Digg your video.

You could go to MicroWorkers.com and create a new campaign.

In the section for “available positions”, you would put 50 – showing that you need 50 workers / 50 people to Digg your content.

You would also choose how much you want to pay each worker.

Once you’ve posted your campaign, people will then start digging
your content.

Pretty cool huh?

Not only will this help you get to the front page of the top social media sites but it also creates powerful backlinks that will help you rank well in the search engines.

And finally, our last social voting site is called WebeServe.com.

Webeserve is another crowdsourcing solution that allows you to build traffic and spread your message around the web.

Their community of workers will tweet your videos, bookmark your
videos, distribute your articles, Digg your content, Stumble your
content, etc…

WebeServe.com is a very affordable way to drive thousands of extra visitors to your website through the power of social voting.

So, now that you know the tricks of the trade, get out there and start promoting your videos!

For those of you who know me, you probably know that I’m a traffic addict. Finding new traffic strategies is like opening a shiny new present on Christmas day. And in this article, I want to turn you into a Traffic Yoda.

Below you’ll find 21 high-powered traffic strategies for kicking your website into high gear. Now, I realize that this article is pretty long. But I promise that it’s well-worth the read.

So, without further ado, let’s dive in…

1. Submit your Blog to Content Aggregators like AllTop.com and 9Rules.

If you have a top-notch blog that regularly publishes valuable content (which you should), then you can submit your blog to sites like Alltop.com and 9Rules.com. These are content aggregators that aggregates the best content from around the web.

AllTop is the creation of Guy Kawaski. Alltop aggregates content from leading blogs around the Web, allowing you to get the hottest new information all in one place.

As a blogger, Alltop can also be a tremendous traffic source if you can get your blog listed. You can submit your site at:

http://alltop.com/submission/

9Rules.com is another top content aggregator online the pulls the best content from around the web into one location. 9Rules accepts submissions throughout the year. You can see when their next opening is at http://www.9rules.com/about/join/

2. High-Profile Content Syndication

As you probably know, article marketing is becoming less and less effective. Simply posting your articles to sites like EzineArticles.com will no longer cut it.

There’s nothing wrong with submitting your content to article directories, but you’re going to get exponentially more results if you start zoning in on high-profile content syndication.

So, what is high-profile content syndication?

Well, instead of submitting your articles to article directories, you submit them to the top websites and blogs within your market.

So, for example, if you have a blog about sports, you could submit your articles to http://bleacherreport.com , one of the most popular sports websites online.

If you have a website about parenting, you could submit articles to http://www.momsnetwork.com/submit-articles.shtml

If you have a website about finance, you could submit articles to http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/submitarticle.html

If you have a blog about Internet Marketing, then you can submit your articles to sites like Site-Reference.com, BetterNetworker.com, Startup.biz, and Mashable.com.

No matter what market you’re in, there are very popular websites that you could be submitting articles to for massive traffic.

Another great place that you can submit your articles are Ning Communities. There are thousands of Ning Social Networks online centered around almost every topic imaginable.

Simply go to Ning.com and search for a community related to your target market. Find one with over 1,000 members and start getting involved in the community.

Best of all, you can contribute articles within EVERY Ning community and they are displayed on the FRONT PAGE. I hope you’re starting to see how incredible powerful this is.

Ning communities are one of the biggest untapped traffic sources online.

3. Guest Blogging

Another great way to get lots of extra exposure and laser-targeted
traffic is guest blogging.  Now, I can hear what you’re probably thinking… “Kim, that’s not a new traffic source!”. But how many of you are actually USING this technique to generate traffic to your website. I’m betting that VERY few of you are actually IMPLEMENTING this EXTREMELY powerful traffic strategy.

Guest blogging is one of the best ways to expose your content to a completely new audience. Best of all, at the end of your post is your name, your brand, and a link back to your website.

So, you might be wondering how you get a popular blog to post your content. As always, it comes down to value. You want to showcase your very best content.

Plus, you’ll also need to develop a relationship with the blogger that you want to guest post for. Now, at first this might sound hard but it’s really not. Here’s what I like to do to initiate the relationship with other bloggers.

First, I start making in-depth, insightful comments on their blog…comments that will really stand out. After I do that for a couple days (maybe even a week or two), then I send the blogger an email telling them how much I enjoy their blog. I also like to make some sort of deeper connection as well. So I try and find out what their favorite hobbies are, their favorite music, etc… and I look for something that we have in common so that I can make a deeper connection.

So then I send them a personalized email, which is ALWAYS well-received. You can never go wrong paying compliments, as long as they’re sincere. Plus, the blogger already knows your name because you’ve been leaving all-star comments on their blog.

So now that you’ve developed a relationship with them, you can approach them about doing a blog post and chances are that they will happily post your article (as long as it contains extremely valuable content).

And you now have your content in front of thousands of new readers. Guest blogging is one of the best ways to increase your traffic and exposure.

4. Trackbacks

A trackback is an automated process of notifying another blog that you have linked to one of their articles. Whenever you link to an article on another blog, Wordpress will automatically “ping” the other blog, alerting them to the incoming link.

Trackbacks are an excellent way of letting another blogger know that you have linked to them. Plus, trackbacks are also displayed in the comments section, so your link will immediately show up in the comments section of that blog, which can lead to lots of traffic (especially on a high-traffic blog like TechCrunch, ZenHabits, etc…)

Plus, bloggers LOVE it when you link to them… and out of gratitude, they will often link back to you, which sends even more traffic your way.

Don’t underestimate the power of linking to other blogs.  It’s a very powerful traffic strategy that can also help you build relationships with other bloggers online.

5. Blog Commenting

Blog commenting can be an extremely powerful technique for building traffic to your website. Click here to find out how one blog comment can bring 230+ unique visitors.

Unfortunately, most bloggers underestimate the value of blog commenting. Not only can commenting bring you lots of extra exposure it’s also an excellent way to start building relationships with other bloggers.

And these relationships can lead to guest posting opportunities, backlinks, interviews, and more.

In order to optimize your comments for the most traffic, you’ll want to make sure that you’re one of the first to comment. The earlier you comment, the more exposure you’re going to get because your comment will be at the top of the page. And, as always, make sure that your comment provides tremendous value. You want your comment to stand out from the others. You do this by providing in-depth, insightful comments that ADD to the conversation.

Now imagine if you do this consistently on several high-profile blogs you could drive some serious traffic to your blog and build invaluable relationships with your fellow bloggers.

6. Write Tutorials!

Tutorials are a HUGE untapped traffic source online. If you have a
website related to graphic design, wordpress, web development, SEO,
marketing, or programming, then you can use tutorials to send thousands of visitors to your website.  There are hundreds of websites online that you can submit your tutorials to. One of the most popular is Instructables.com.

Here’s a more complete list of popular sites where you can submit your tutorials for tons of extra exposure, traffic, and backlinks…

http://www.noupe.com/

7. Video Responses

If you do any video marketing at all, then you should immediately add video responses to your marketing arsenal. This is a very simple technique you can use to dramatically increase your YouTube video views. I’ve used this one simple tactic to get thousands of extra views on a single video.

Unforatuntely, I see very few people taking advantage of this powerful technique…

Here’s how you do it:

First, you’ll need to upload a video to YouTube.com.

Next you’ll need to find a related video that has LOTS of views. So, for example, if I create a video about dog training, then I would look for a related video about dog training that has lots of views.

Here’s a good example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CskvOzDOmbw

This is a great video about dog training that’s received over 100,000 views. That’s definitely the type of video that you would want to post a video response to.

So you after you find a popular related video, you would then post a video response. To do this, you’ll need to look underneath the video in the section called “Video Responses”. On the right hand-side you’ll see a blue link that says “Post a Video Response”.

Click on that link and you will then be taken to a page where you can post a video response.

Click on the link in the middle that say, “Choose a Video”. From here you will choose one of the videos you have already uploaded on YouTube and click on the button that says, “Respond with This Video”.  You need to choose a related video to post a video response to.

Now, once you have posted a video response, you can go back to the
video and you will now see that your video is listed in the Video Responses section.

As you can imagine, if you have posted a video response to a very popular video, you can get thousands of views coming to your video from the video response you’ve just posted. This is one of the easiest ways to divert traffic to your videos.

Don’t take this strategy for granted. It’s EXTREMELY powerful and it has
brought thousands of extra visitors to my videos. Simply find popular videos that are related to yours and post a video response.

8. Tag Your Videos

Here’s another simple strategy for getting lots of extra views on your video. Simply find existing videos on YouTube that are related to yours and have a lot of views. Then, copy their tags to the video you’re uploading. This gives you’re video a very good chance of appearing in the related videos in the sidebar, which can send you a ton of extra traffic.

9. Embed Your Video for Hundreds of Extra Views

There are lots of sites that allow you to embed your videos for further promotion. One of my favorites is WonderHowTo.com. If you have a “How To” video on YouTube, MetaCafe, or any video site that gives you embed code, then you can post it to WonderHowTo and get hundreds of extra views on your video.

Some other sites where you can embed your video to include:

http://www.flixya.com
http://www.spike.com
http://www.instructables.com
http://www.myspace.com
http://www.uvouch.com
http://www.magnify.net/sites/categories
http://www.ulinkx.com/
http://www.myvidster.com (Social Bookmarking for Videos)
http://www.gemzies.com/
http://www.infectiousvideos.com/
http://www.videosift.com
http://www.vewgle.com
http://www.tagged.com
http://www.wonderhowto.com
http://http://www.maxior.pl
http://www.nowpublic.com
http://www.vodpod.com
http://www.mefeedia.com/add.php

It’s kind of like article syndication for videos! But 10x more powerful!

This is one of the easiest ways to get thousands of extra visitors for your video. I’ve seen VERY few people taking advantage of this strategy, so I hope you start using it in your own online business.

Extra Juicy Tip: You can also submit your video to any of the Ning Communities online. These are social networking communities centered around niche topics (everything from baking and parenting to biking and dog training). Ning.com has thousands of communities on almost any imaginable topic. These social communities contain thousands of users and you can submit blog posts and articles to all of them. Best of all, those articles and blog posts will show up on the front page of the Ning Community. Very Powerful!!!

10. How to Get More Views on Your EzineArticles…

As you probably know, EzineArticles.com is one of the top article directories online. However, did you know that there’s a trick you can use to make it even more powerful.

Here’s what you do…

You’ll notice at the bottom of each article a section called “Most Viewed” and “Most Published”. However, did you know that there’s an easy way to get your article into these sections for tons of extra exposure and internal backlinks?

The Most Published section is easier to get into so let’s start with that one. First, you need to grab the EzinePublisher URL for your article. You’ll find this at the top right hand side of the page. You’ll see a list of icons with a printer icon at the top. Well, right below the printer icon that says “Print This Article”, you will see a link that says “EzinePublisher”.

Go ahead and click on this link. Now, grab the URL for this link and paste it into a text document because we’re going to be using this URL for a little while.

You see, in order to get into the “Most Published” section, you need to get the most clicks onto your EzinePublisher link. To do this, we will be promoting the link ourselves outside of EzineArticles by using social bookmarking, Twitter, and a few other sources.

So, first you will need to submit your EzinePublisher url to all of the different social bookmarkings sites like Digg, Mixx, Delicious, etc.. You can do this semi-automatically at SocialPoster.com.

Once you have submitted your URL to all of the different social bookmarking sites, you can then send it out to all of your friends on Twitter, FriendFeed, and other microblogging platforms.

By doing this, you will increase the views on your Publisher page, allowing you to get into the “Most Published” section. Once your article has been placed in the “Most Published” section, it will be placed on every single article within that particular category.

This means extra exposure for your article. But more importantly, it means MORE LINK JUICE. You see, the internal linking structure within EzineArticles.com is EXTREMELY powerful for ranking in Google. These internal links are very powerful.

By getting your article in the “Most Viewed” or “Most Published” section, you are increasing the number of internal links pointing to that article, which can make a huge difference in how the article ranks in Google.

Do you see where I’m going with this?

First you need to make sure you’re using the targeted keyword phrases in
your article title and sprinkled throughout your article. Then, by getting your article placed in the “Most Viewed” or “Most Published” section, you can dramatically increase your Google rankings because your article now has more internal links pointing to it.

If you want to get into the “Most Viewed” section, you use the same
technique, but this time you will be promoting the URL of the actual article.

If you want to guarantee your spot in the “Most Viewed” section you can use StumbleUpon advertising, which is just 5 cents per view.  This is one of the simplest ways to get your article in the “Most Viewed” section. Plus, by using StumbleUpon, you’re also driving lots of targeted traffic to your article and increasing your exposure.

11. Cool Site of the Day

Here’s another interesting find. It’s called Cool Site of the Day. This site lists some of the most interesting sites from around the web. Best of all, you can submit your site as well if you think it’s up to snuff. Not only does this present an excellent link opportunity, but Cool Site of the Day is known for sending thousands of visitors to their featured sites.

If your site is chosen, it will be featured on the homepage and announced to their email list of over 150,000 subscribers.

Much like Digg, Cool Site of the Day also has a ripple effect. The featured sites are often picked up by journalists throughout the world. Some of the previously featured sites have been quoted on the BBC News website, featured in USA Today, picked up by radio stations and quoted in a number of other media outlets.

Sites similar to Cool Site of the Day that you can submit to include…

Yahoo Picks
TopsiteoftheDay
AskMen
Blackstump
Family First

12. Coupons

Give away coupons and promote them in coupon directories. If your site offers coupons of any kind, you can submit your site to hundreds of different coupon websites online for additional exposure and traffic. Plus, you’re also creating valuable one-way backlinks to your website.

Here’s a list of coupons sites you can submit to:

SuperCoolCoupons
Coupon Cabin
Ultimate Coupons
FreeShipping.org
Deal Taker

13. Twitter Traffic

Since it’s launch in July of 2006, Twitter has quickly become one of the most popular microblogging platforms online.

It’s a place to network, connect, and communicate.

Twitter is a powerful platform for communicating with your readers, building your brand, driving traffic to your blog, and building relationships with industry leaders.

At it’s core, Twitter is about the conversation.

Twitter is like one giant cocktail party. It facilitates instant engagement with your readers, fellow bloggers, and industry mavens.

Social media has created a fundamental shift in the way we do business.

“Anonymous” business people are being ignored. Personal brands and social equity are becoming more and more important. Twitter allows you to share a more personal side of yourself with your readers – whatever that may be. Quirky and Crazy, Starbucks Addict, or Late Night Insomniac – Be true to yourself and people will love you for it. This is how you turn your everyday readers into a community of raving fans.

Twitter allows you to create a dialogue with your target market.

But the key to winning in social media is to provide value. Whether this be in the form of interesting links, cool resources, or encouraging quotes. The key to all forms of social media is to focus on providing value.

Become a connector! Look for ways to be of value to your network. Help people connect with others. Help people find good jobs, good VAs, good copywriters, good graphic designers and you will quickly become an invaluable resource. By becoming a connector, people will start coming to you as the go-to person in your market and they will spread the word about you as well.

Engage at every possible opportunity. Share good content. Have Fun!

And if you want to automate your twitter marketing, then I would highly suggest using TweetAdder.com.

TweetAdder allows you to quickly build up your Twitter following while you focus on engaging your readers and providing tremendous value.

14. Free WSO’s

This little strategy is a golden nugget for anyone in the Internet Marketing niche to rapidly grow their list. The technique here is to post Free WSO’s in the Warrior Forum. These are known as Warrior Special Offers. And a lot of people in this section of the forum list products for sale. But what I do is I actually list Free WSO’s that point people to a squeeze page where they can get my free report, free video, etc…

This allows me to quickly and easily and 100 subscribers to my list. Very powerful! And something that people aren’t doing nearly enough.
Now, it does cost $20 each time you list or bump your WSO. But it’s well worth it considering the kind of list you build using this simple technique.

You can also create what I like to call a “perpetual WSO”. I learned this particular technique from Jason Paker. This is where you continue to bump your WSO’s each day in order to keep them on the front page. So you can actually have one or two WSO’s in rotation each and every day, which will automate your list building process and add anywhere from 25-50 subscribers to your list each and every day.

When you initially launch your Free WSO, you can get anywhere from 100-300 subscribers. And then you can start bumping those same WSO’s to put your listing back on the front page, so that you can start adding people
to your list on autopilot.

15. JV Giveaways

Another great way to build your list quickly is to enter Giveaway events as a contributor.  A Giveaway event is basically a site where multiple marketers contribute a free gift. This can be in the form of free ebooks, reports, videos, audios, etc…

Then, all of the contributors promote the Giveaway Event to their list, which puts your offer in front of thousands of people. Your offer is listed among all of the other contributors. And when people come to the site, they’ll see your offer. If it’s something they’re intersted in, they’ll click on it, go to your squeeze page and get signed up for your free report.

Giveaway events allow you to piggyback on the traffic of other marketers, allowing you to quickly add a couple hundred subscribers to
your list.

Giveaways are a great way to start building your list quickly. They’re also one of the best ways to build your “seed” list for future ad swaps.
By contributing to giveaways, you can quickly build up a list of 500 subscribers, which you can then use to start exponentially growing your list through the power of ad swaps.

If you want to grow your list quickly, then I would look to contribute to at least 1 or 2 giveaways per month. At the same time, you don’t want to burnout your list promoting giveaways. You must continually keep a careful balance between promotions and giving away valuable content.

It’s critical that you provide your subscribers with TREMENDOUS VALUE and focus on building a relationship with your subscribers.

16. Hosting JV Giveaways

I would also strongly encourage you to host your own JV Giveaway. This will allow you to add thousands of people to your list instead of just a few hundred.

The key to hosting a great Giveaway event is to have lots of good contributors. To do this you must already have a sizeable list of your own that you can promote the Giveaway to. So whenever you approach a potential contributor you can say, “Hey, I will be promoting this Giveaway to my list of 10,000 subscribers so you’ll be able to get plenty of exposure.”. I would recomment that you build a list of at least 10,000 subscribers before you start hosting your own Giveaway Events. This gives you lots of leverage when contacting contributors, because you now have something of value for them. And that’s the key!

Once you have that seed list that you can promote to it’s easy to get people involved in your Giveaway Events.

17. Ad Swaps

Once you’ve built your subscriber list up to 500-1,000 subscribers, you can then start buiding your list exponentially using ad swaps. Ad swaps are hands-down one of the fastest ways to build your list.

But first, let’s talk about exactly what an ad swap entails…

An ad swap occurs when two list owners each agree to mail their list on offer from the other list owner. This is usually a free offer placed on a landing page in exchange for someone’s name and email address. As a result, they are both adding hundreds of subscribers to their lists.

The most effective ad swap occurs when two list owners endorse the other person’s squeeze page offer, which gives away a free report, video, or some other content of value.

Even if you just have a small list, you can still leverage that asset to swap ads with other list owners – helping you to grow your list at a rapid pace.

Ad swaps are a little-known tactic that all of the big internet marketers are using to add 200 to 500 subscribers per day.

So, once you’ve built a “seed” list of 500-1,000 subscribers, it’s now time to go out and start looking for potential ad swap partners.

Here are some places online where you can find other list owners who are actively looking to do ad swaps:

Once you have found some potential JV partners, contact them and propose to do an ad swap with your lists. Keep in mind that it doesn’t matter if your potential JV partner has a bigger list size.

For example, let’s say you want to swap ads with someone who has a list that has 10,000 subscribers and you have 1,000 subscribers. Not a
problem! The person with 10,000 subscribers would just send your ad out to 1,000 subscribers of their 10,000 person list. So they would just send it to a segment of their list. Problem solved!

Here’s a powerful tip that will increase the chance of your potential partner agreeing to do an ad swap…

Go ahead and set up a squeeze page that is specific to the marketer you’re swapping ads with. So at the top of your squeeze page (directly under your headline), you would have some text that says, “This is an exclusive secret download page only for Bob Smith’s subscribers)

This makes it a lot more personal. Not only are you going to get a more
positive response from your potential partner, but you will also get higher conversions on your squeeze page because it’s targeted directly to their subscribers.

Here’s an example… http://www.buzzblogger.com/Jay

Do you see how I personalized the landing page just for Jay. I also created a customized URL for him. Not only will this improve your chances of getting more ad swap partners, it also converts better because you’ve personalized the page specifically for their subscribers.

Ad swaps are one of the best ways to grow your list quickly without spending any money.

This is some of the very best traffic you can get because someone is endorsing your free offer to their list of subscribers.

Plus, the really cool thing about ad swaps is that you can do them MULTIPLE times… with the same people!

Since both of your lists are growing all the time you can do an ad swap with the same people on a monthly basis by sending the ad swap only to your newest subscribers.

I hope you’re starting to see how powerful this is.

18. Use a Contest to Double Your List Size

Here’s a little-known technique that will double your list size… Contests!

I’m always surprised at how few people use this technique.

Clayton Makepeace, one of the smartest marketers online, has used this technique quite effectively.

With a contest, you are simply leveraging your existing list to add thousands of additional subscribers.

There are 3 keys to creating a successful contest that adds thousands of extra subscribers to your list.

1. First, you need a value-packed incentive. You must have some killer prizes lined up for your readers if you want them to actively get involved in your contest. Some great ideas to offer as prizes include your own free products, other people’s products, and one-on-one coaching time.

2. To enter the contest, your readers will need to do things that spread the word about your newsletter or your free offer. You need to get your subscribers pointing people back to your squeeze page. To do this, you can have them make videos about your free report, basically giving a testimonial for your report and why it’s so great.

You then have them post the video on YouTube and post the link to their video in the blog comments.

You can have them send a promo to their email list and then post the email in the comments.

Or have them make a blog post about your free report and then have them post a link to their blog post in the comments.

3. For each of those activities, you will need to give your readers a prize. Now, you can either give a prize to the best blog posts, video, and email. Or you can give a prize to everyone who makes a blog post, video, or sends an email out to their list. Of course, the latter is going to be a much bigger incentive and get you a lot more exposure.

You can see an example of how this is done at:

http://www.makepeacetotalpackage.com/wendy-makepeace/urgent-deadline-midnight-tonight.html

I suggest doing a contest every 3 to 4 months. Not only are you engaging your readers (which is EXTREMELY powerful), you’re also able to double your list simply by running a contest. This is one of THE best ways to leverage the power of your existing list.

You see, once you’ve built a list of at least 1,000 subscribers, it becomes much easier to start growing your list exponentially through the use of ad swaps, contests, Giveaway Events, and JV partnerships.

19. Amazon Mechanical Turk

Many of you have probably heard of Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. Mturk allows you to hire people to do a wide range of simple tasks.

But many people do not realize it’s potential marketing power.

You can have people on Mechanical Turk do almost anything… vote for your video on YouTube, post comments on your YouTube videos, submit your articles to social bookmarking sites, etc… All for just a few pennies.

So, for example, let’s say you wanted to get your article on EzineArticle.com into the “most viewed” section. Doing this would allow you to get a ton of extra exposure and hundreds of internal backlinks within the EzineARticles website itself.

To do this, you would simply go to Amazon’s Mechanical Turk and setup what they call a HIT (Human Intelligence Task).

You would then buy hits for people to view your article. But you’ll want to do this slowly. (approx. 25 or so per day)

You would pay about 4 cents per hit. Also, do not republish the hit. Simply make a big one and say 200 hits and then pause or re update the hit. This way the same worker won’t redo the hit.

And of course, this is just the beginning of what’s possible with Mturk.
You can use it for Stumbles, Diggs, YouTube votes, YouTube comments, etc…

20. SocialElves

Have you ever wanted to get on the Front page of Digg? Well,SocialElves.com can help you do just that. SocialElves is a social media marketing agency that can help you build conversations around your brand and drive huge traffic to your website or blog.

They are one of the first to offer truly organic marketing campaigns on Digg.com. If you’d like to get more exposure on your content WITHOUT having to spend months developing power profiles on all the different social media sites, then I would highly suggest you check out SocialElves.com

21. Buy Existing Websites – I’m always surprised how few people are buying existing websites online. You can easily buy an untapped website and quickly turn it into an automatic lead machine for pennies on the dollar.

There are lots of webmasters online who simply do not realize the full
potential of their website. With just a little bit of marketing knowledge,

you can maximize the site’s potential and start generating hundreds of
subscribers per day.

Here are some of my favorite places to buy websites:

http://marketplace.sitepoint.com/ – lots of good deals here
http://www.viperbusiness.com/listings/ – pricey but these are golden gems that are already generating large profits. (Many of them even come with an existing list of subscribers.)

Another very powerful technique is to go buy underperforming sites on Clickbank and PayDotCom. The majority of products on Clickbank are getting little to no sales per month. Either they did a big product launch and now things have sizzled out or they simply don’t have the proper marketing knowledge to get things rolling. Either way, it’s a HUGE opportunity for you.

You can easily come in and buy entire products for pennies on the dollar. You can then either use your marketing knowledge to immediately increase conversions and traffic and bring the site back to life.

OR, you can use the content inside the product to build a huge plot of juicy content real estate online. Many of the products on Clickbank have up to 200 pages so you can take that content, split it up into articles and then drip-feed it to your website.

Or you can syndicate the content around the web. Turn it into video and submit them to all the top video directories. Break the product into multiple ebooks and submit them to all the top ebook directories online.

The possibilities are endless. You can use that content to easily generate thousands of visitors by repurposing it into podcasts, viral reports, blog posts, videos, and articles that you can syndicate around the web.
