Making profits online requires that you have a system that brings in the traffic (lots of it). There is no such thing as 'too much' traffic. Too much traffic is good.
Secondly, you need to be able to convert this traffic into sales. Get this right and it really does not matter what you are selling or promoting online you will make profits.
So, let's see how you get traffic to your websites and then how you convert this traffic to sales.
There are two main methods. Free or paid. Whichever one you choose will cost you time or money or both. There really is no such thing as free traffic. You must do something for it to get to your website. So called Free methods include - article marketing, forum marketing or list builder programs.
It should not really matter which of these you use. Just make sure it can deliver the huge amounts of traffic you need to convert to buyers.
Massive action is required to get massive amounts of traffic to your website. You will have certain limitations to overcome. For instance how many articles can you write in an hour? Or how much money can you invest in pay per click marketing?
Okay let's now move on to converting your traffic to sales.
So to convert your traffic you must first have it. There is really no point patting yourself on the back because you have made a few sales from each 1000 arriving at your website daily. The question you should consider is what are you going to do with this traffic? If you are simply satisfied with your few sales then you are missing the point about conversion. How many people are buying from you? 1000? Of course not, there is a percentage that is not going to buy from you first time round. This is why you must work on converting the 95-98% that do not buy on first visit to your website.
You must collect the names and addresses of a large percentage of the visitors arriving at your website. To do this you need to set up a lead capture system. The whole idea is that when people arrive at your website you encourage them to leave their name and address for you to contact them some time later with offers that may interest and help them.
I know they say that the money is in the list however building a list is really so that you can build a relationship with the people on your list. In plain and simple terms, if there is no relationship there is no conversion of your traffic from subscribers to buyers. This is one main reason why list building must not be overlooked or worse trivialised.
Some marketers' think you just build a list and the money will come. Well, sorry to disappoint but you must build a relationship with the people on your list. Don't rely on slick marketing. The people on your list will have to see that you are helping them otherwise they will not buy your products in the numbers you expect. They must know they can trust you. If they can trust you then it follows that they can trust your recommendations. After all you would not recommend rubbish to your friends would you?
If you get traffic and build a genuine relationship with it, your conversion rates will increase and what you will have is a responsive list. You will not even need a big list to make profits.
Making Profits online comes down to two things - getting targeted traffic to your website and capturing that traffic so you can build a relationship with it and convert it into sales. It however takes time and is certainly not a get rich quick thing.
Take heed when you next hear 'The money is in the list' the list is made up of people and people are won by relationships.
Are you really serious about building your very own responsive opt in email list?
