Unfortunately, most people don’t bother to link their squeeze pages with their identity.
This is definitely a No, No, and a major mistake made by many email marketers.
People want to know who you are, so why not tell them?
Here’s a typical scenario of what often happens when you don’t bother linking your squeeze page with your identity.
Your potential customer opts in and signs up on one of your squeeze pages to receive your free newsletter, report, or ebook.
They become preoccupied with other business online, and in an hour or two, they finally get around to checking their emails.
Your potential customer then scans through their in box, and notices that you sent something to them, but they don’t remember or have a clue as to who you are. They don’t connect you with the subject of the email.
The net effect is lost business from a customer that couldn’t identify you.
This problem has a simple solution.
Since it’s a fact that most people almost always look at the SENDER name, before they bother looking at the SUBJECT line column in their in boxes; you simply need to be linking your name with your squeeze page, in some memorable way.
Creating some sort of connection between your squeeze page and your name, will ensure that when people check their emails and look at the subject line first; they will remember why your name is there and click on your link.
No one seems to know why people read the SENDERs name before the SUBJECT; it just seems to be a human quirk. In any event, you can generate more responses by creating “catchy” subject lines so your prospects can better identify to you.
Most marketers overlook, or simply don’t realize that guest blogging can be a great way to generate laser targeted traffic to their websites.
Although guest blogging is not really a new traffic source; not many people use this technique to generate targeted traffic.
How many of you are now using this extremely powerful strategy to generate traffic to your website? I’ll wager not many of you do!
Guest blogging is a great way to expose your material to a completely new audience for free.
At the end of your blog post, you get to include your brand, your name, and a back link to your website. It’s almost like writing an article for an ezine article directory.
Getting a popular blog to post your content, is not really that difficult when you provide good content. Like anything else, it all boils down to value.
- The first step is to develop a relationship with the blogger, that you want to provide your very best guest post content for.
You can do this by first making insightful comments on their blog; something unique that really stands out from the other comments is what you’re aiming for.
Do this for about a couple of weeks, and then shoot them an email telling them how much you really enjoy reading their blog.
If you can foster a personal connection with the blogger, do so. You can check out their “about me” page, or Google them to find out about their personal interests, hobbies, music, etc. Weave this information into a personalized email, to create a deeper relationship with the blogger.
Be sincere with your compliments and your blogger will usually be receptive and respond in kind with their own personalized email.
- Once your relationship has sufficiently developed, you can suggest doing a blog post for them.
Usually a blogger will jump at the chance of posting your article; provided it contains useful, valuable, interesting content. Most bloggers are always on the lookout for free content, and are usually receptive to guest blogging.
- Next all you need to do is create the best blog content possible, add your brand, your name, and back link to your website; and your content will be disseminated to thousands of new readers.
If you have never tried to use guest blogging to generate targeted traffic; you’re overlooking one of the best strategies of increasing targeted web traffic, and exposure to your website.
Here are some of the ways you can also make money with your Blog.
Video sharing has quickly become an exceptional way to generate traffic to your online business site.
When you think about video sharing, the first thing that pops up in the mind of most Internet users is YouTube; and for good reason.
The total number of YouTube video publishers, as of March 2008, was over 200,000; and the total number of videos uploaded to You Tube was well over 70,000,000.
With over 100,000,000 YouTube videos viewed daily, you can understand why video sharing specifically on YouTube, has become such a great way to generate traffic.
Although there are other YouTube clones online; video sharing has become synonymous with YouTube marketing.
The concept of video sharing is quite simple.
First you produce an interesting informative video about some unique characteristic of your product. Then edit your video, include links to your website or blog, and upload it to YouTube where it can be viewed by the general public.
With over 100,000,000 million videos being viewed daily, you can be sure that your video will be viewed several times by potential customers. And, if you produce a really interesting video, you can attract visitors directly from your website.
Video sharing as a way to generate traffic using YouTube, is tailor made for Internet marketers.
It has a unique feature that allows you to insert a clickable link into your video. This makes it super easy for viewers to check out your website.
Instead of having to write down and type your link URL into their web browser or email program; they simply click on the embedded URL to visit your site. This greatly increases the amount of visitor traffic to your site.
YouTube allows visitors to comment on your videos either by text or video comments. Since it is a social networking site, there is an excellent possibility your video could go viral.
YouTube also allows meta tag descriptions in their videos and headline content, which helps with your search engine optimization. Of course having killer video content, right out of the box, greatly improves your prospects of having your video viewed and perhaps going viral.
Video sharing to generate traffic with YouTube, is a smart bet. Since YouTube is a subsidiary of Google, it uses Google’s search engine with great effectiveness.
