9 Ways To Get Free Traffic To Your Website

Filed under: Business

1. Search Engines

Optimize your website to be search-engine friendly. Submit it to various search engines and directories.

In addition to major search engines such as Google, Yahoo and MSN, it’s worth submitting to lesser known web directories. If your website is listed in as many places as possible, it can boost your rankings in major search engines as well.

2. Affiliate Program

Set up an affiliate program where you pay people a percentage of each sale for referring customers to you.

Spread the word about your affiliate program by submitting it to affiliate program directories and contacting the owners of related websites.

3. Link Exchanges

Create a links page that will contain the links to other non-competing websites in the same industry. 

Contact the owners of other websites with your proposal to exchange links.  You will add their link to your links page, and they will link to your website in return.

4. Post In Forums

Visit the online discussion forums where people in your target market like to gather.  Post useful responses to people’s questions, and include a link to your website at the end of your post next to your name.

5. Comment On Blogs

Visit other people’s blogs on the topic related to your website.  Most blogs allow you to add comments about the issues being discussed.

Add insightful comments about the blog topics, and leave your website link.  Your comment and your link will permanently remain on the blog website.

6. E-Mail Signatures

Create an e-mail “signature” - your name, your website address and a short tagline describing the main benefit of your site. Set your e-mail program to automatically add your signature to every e-mail that you send.

7. Traffic Exchanges

There are many times of traffic exchanges but the idea is the same - you team up with other webmasters, and they send you traffic in exchange for you sending them traffic. Search the web for “traffic exchange” to find those services.

8. “Viral” Strategy

Create something of value that people will pass around. It can be a report with useful information that you allow people to give away.  It can also be some kind of cool and unusual webpage that people will want to e-mail to all their friends. 

Of course, the pass-around item will include your advertisement and your link, spreading the word about your website.

9. Writing Articles

Write articles on the topic related to your website, and include a link to your site in your author bio.  Submit your articles to article directories, and allow people to publish your article in their newsletters and websites.

Your articles will spread around the web like wildfire. People will read them and visit your website.

The best part is that people who read your articles will regard you as an expert, and they will be much more likely to buy from you when they go to your website. How’s that for a free publicity?

How To Make Money Online Without A Website

Filed under: Business

You don’t need to have a website to make money on the Internet.  Here is a proven strategy to make money online without a website:

Step 1: Find Affiliate Product

Find a product to promote where you make good commission on each sale.  Generally, you will get the biggest commissions on digital products.  Digital products are defined as something that is downloaded directly to a customer’s computer after purchasing, like electronic books or software. 

Since there is no extra cost per unit, no inventory and no shipping, the commissions are much greater than on regular “physical” goods.  The most common commission on digital products is 50%. The best place to find such products is Clickbank.com. 

Sign up as a reseller (also called affiliate) for a product that looks the most appealing to you.  After you sign up, you will get a unique affiliate link where you need to send people to purchase the product. 

Your affiliate link will have a special code that will tell the product owner that it’s you who referred the customer. The affiliate link code will allow your commissions to be tracked correctly and assigned to you.

Step 2: Get Domain Name

Get a domain name to redirect to your affiliate link. A domain name is a .COM name (like yourproduct.com).  You can get it for under $9 at GoDaddy.com.  GoDaddy.com will allow you to redirect your domain name to your affiliate link at no extra cost. 

So when someone types in your .COM domain in their browser, it will go to your affiliate link.  The visitor will see the website with the product you promote, and the commissions will be tracked correctly.

The reason why you need a domain name is that it’s memorable and it makes you look more trustworthy. Affiliate links tend to be too long and arouse suspicion. For example, most people would rather click on the link bestwidgets.com as opposed to abcwidgets.com?reseller=john

A domain name will make your affiliate link look like it’s your own website.  So basically, you will have a product to promote and a website to send people to and get commissions - without really having your own website.

Step 3: Get Traffic

In order to make sales, you need to get visitors to your domain name (which will forward them to the website of the product that you resell).  You can pay for advertising and hope that your profit will be greater than advertising cost, or you can use free ways to generate traffic.

The most effective way to get free targeted visitors to your domain name is by writing and submitting articles. You can write short articles on the topic related to the product that you promote.  At the end of the article, you include your author bio and your domain name link. 

You will then submit your articles to various websites, and allow them to publish your articles as long as your link is included.  Your articles will get published in many places on the Internet, and will be advertising your affiliate link at no cost to you whatsoever. People will read your articles, like what you have to say and click on your domain name link ready to buy.

Once you start getting regular sales from your articles, you can go back to step 1 and find another product to promote using this strategy.  After a while, you will build up a nice source of Internet income - without even having a website.

French Toast Recipe

Filed under: Cooking

Yummy breakfast!  Great with maple syrup!

french-toast1.jpg

10 slices of bread
2 cups of milk
2 eggs
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp oil

Heat the old in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.

Whisk the eggs, milk, sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. 

Dip a slice of bread in the milk mixture, then turn it, dip the other side and put on a frying pan.  Repeat with the remaining slices (that fit in a frying pan).  Cook for 2 minutes, then flip the bread, reduce heat to medium and cook for another 4 minutes.

Note: I like to cut the bread slices diagonally (like a triangle) before dipping and frying.  This way more bread fits on a frying pan.  I also use 2 frying pans at once.
