Getting Traffic to Your Affiliate Marketing Website.

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Since you have been following along with me you have the basics you need to start building your Internet Marketing Business. That means it is time to start getting traffic to your squeeze page so you can start building your list.

There are a lot of ways to get traffic. If you are in a great hurry you can start an adwords campaign on google. Since you are new to Affiliate marketing I would suggest More…that you first concentrate on the free traffic methods first.

Please understand when I say free, I am talking about those methods that you can put to work for you, that do not cost you money. These methods do however cost you time. The amount of time is based on how good you are at each and how much time you have available to spend on the task.

The very first method I recommend is a blog. This may seem a little daunting to you to begin with but in truth it really isn’t. Blogging is like talking except no one is answering as you are writing. Hopefully they are answering with comments on your blog.

Before I get into the actual mechanics of blogging lets talk about the platform you will be using. If you have your own hosting at Host Gator as I recommended in the other posts then you have access to Fantastico, which is in your cPanel area.

From Fantastico you can simple click on wordpress blog and it will install the basic wordpress blog for you. Please understand that you will have to select and install all of the plugins that make wordpress the web 2.0 machine it can be.

I did that on my original blog but had more trouble than I wanted to contend with in maintaining it. What I do instead is simply use a blog i360 site where everything is setup and maintained for me.

A i360 blog is a standard wordpress blog on steroids. It has all the built in features that are needed to start drawing traffic to your site immediately. Also if you have an i360 blog you can do without other hosting for the time being because it is built on a cPanel platform and will allow you to have redirects. Sales pages, one time offers and much more.

I suggest you take them up on their $1, 30 day free trial and experience it for yourself. Once you get into using it you will not change.

Another option is to use one of the free blogging platforms. Wordpress.com, thejv.press.com and blogger.com just to name a few.

These are all good sites and will bring you traffic. The best is blogger i360, next would be your own wordpress blog on your hosting and third would be a free site.

You just do not have the flexibility with a site controlled by someone else. You do have more at some than others but just remember, the free sites are only free because they make money off of the traffic you bring to them.
