How to Grow Your Online Income Using Only Free Traffic Methods

If you’ve been told that to grow your online income you’ll need a lot of capital, then you’ve been lied to. Or more politely, misinformed. There are many, many ways you can drive traffic to your blog and grow your online income without shelling out big bucks.

While there are ways to jump start your traffic flows, many sites don’t have the resources that others have to generate more traffic for your site. Well, you don’t have to spend a cent; all you need is the proper mindset and a lot of eagerness. You also must have the drive and perseverance to do hard work and research to generate more traffic for your site.

How sweet it is to have more traffic for your site without spending a single cent. Now it’s a sure thing that many sites have articles that offer tips and guidelines in how to generate traffic using only free methods. Because it is possible, you don’t need to speed a single cent, it may take time, to say honestly, I’m not going to beat around the bush with you. You get better chances by paying for your advertisements, but at least you get a fighting chance with some of these free methods I’m about to tell you.

Take advantage of online forums and online communities. The great thing about forums and online communities is that you can target a certain group that fits the certain demographic that you are looking for. You can discuss about lots of things about the niche that you represent or offer. Another great advantage is that you know what you are getting into and you will be prepared.

With online communities and forums you can build a reputation for your company. Show them what you are made of and wow them with your range of expertise about the subject, with that you can build a reputation and build trust with the people in your expertise and knowledge.

You can also make use of newsletters. Provide people with a catalog of your products and interesting and entertaining articles. If you make it really interesting and entertaining, more people will sign up for your newsletter and recommend it to other people. The more people who signs up for your newsletter, the more people there will be that will go to your site increasing your traffic.

Another great idea is trading links with other sites. You don’t have to spend a cent. All you have to do is reach an agreement with another webmaster. With exchanging links, the efforts both sites do will benefit both sites. Every traffic that goes to the site could potentially click on the link of your site and visit your site as well. This works well especially when both sites feature the same niche.

Write articles that could pique the attention of people that have interest in your product. Try writing articles that will provide tips and guides to other aficionados. Writing articles that provide good service and knowledge to other people would provide the necessary mileage your traffic flow needs.

Many sites offer free submission and posting of your articles. When people find interest in your articles they have a good chance of following the track by finding out where the article originated. Include a link or a brief description of your company with the article and there’s a great probability that they will go to your site.

Write good content for your site. Many search engines track down the keywords and keyword phrases your site uses and how they are used. It is not a requirement that content should be done by a professional content writer. You could do your own but you have to make content for your site that is entertaining as well as informational. It should provide certain requirements as well as great quality.

Generally, internet users use search engines to find what they are looking for. Search engines in return use keyword searching in aiding their search results. With the right keywords, you could get high rankings in search engine results without the costs.

All of these methods and more will drive more traffic to your site for free. All it takes is a bit of effort and extended man hours. Learn all you can about the methods depicted here and you will soon have a site with a great traffic flow without the usual costs that come with it.

What’s really cool about this is the fact that MOST of this can be automated. Imagine that. A set it and forget it blog. A buddy of mine, Jeff Dedrick, will tell you all about it at Automated Traffic .

You see, he’s put together a program that will help you get automated, targeted traffic to your website or blog. He can tell you about it a lot better than I can, but I’ll go over a few things for you.

Grow Your Online Income – 6 Steps to be Successful in Affiliate Marketing

Taking steps to actively grow your online income was a wise move on your part. So kudos to you! And if you haven’t already guessed by reading my blog…I’m a big fan of affiliate marketing. However, there are some things you should know if you want to be successful at it. For this blog post, I’ll lay out 6 steps to be successful in affiliate marketing. Follow these steps…and you will surely grow your online income ;)

1. Find The Demand

There are more things to sell with affiliate marketing than you can even imagine. However, why try to sell ice cream to Eskimos when you can sell water to marathon runners? The point here is, find a demand in the marketplace…then offer them what they want.

2. Offer More Than One Product

Like I said earlier…there are so many different products to sell with affiliate marketing. So don’t limit yourself to just one product. Find a niche, then offer several products in that niche. Become the big fish in a small pond by dominating a niche. For example…pick a niche. Build a small site for it. Then write 50-100 articles to drive links to it. Then move on to the next one. Before you know it, you’ll be dominating 3 or more niches and then comes the real online cash.

3. Identify Your USP (Unique Selling Point)

In other words, set your business apart from the other businesses that are like yours. If your competition offers only an E-book…then you offer and E-book, DVD and online video. Pick affiliate marketing products that have multiple learning channels and you’ll leave your competition in the dust.

4. Cover Your Assets

Insure your business and your home. Create an LLC or a corporation. I am NOT a lawyer. However, if you are to make this a full time career…then you should seek legal counsel and get a good CPA to help you as well. Remember, this is a business. Not some hokey MLM scheme.

5. Provide Great Service

How can you provide great service if you are an affiliate you ask. Well, don’t sell products that suck! Before you become an affiliate of anything do your homework on them. Subscribe to their newsletter or even ask for a copy of the product for review. Make sure the company you are selling for has good customer service. If they don’t, then your online income will plummet and you’ll be all pissed off. So do your homework savvy?

6. Keep Your Customers Happy

Again, this goes along with what I said a minute ago. Don’t sell stuff that sucks! And, if you are building a list then make sure you send out quality information to your list. Not crap. A surefire way to erase your list is to send out crap to them. So simply don’t do it.

You can definitely grow your online income with affiliate marketing. It’s a great business that will reward you not only with money…but the LIFESTYLE you desire.

There are a lot of teachers or “gurus” to learn from in the affiliate marketing game. One of the best ones I’ve learned from so far is Chris Farrell. He’s got a website that is definitely worth checking out. He has more FREE affiliate marketing tools than any other site I’ve been to…bar none. So stop wasting time and go check him out today. You’ll be glad you did. Hold I’ll…I’ll go to my Bookmarks and get the link for you. Be right back.

Here you go…Chris Farrell’s Website

To your success…

Father Forgets by W. Livingston Larned

I heard this poem today…and it made me cry.  If you are trying to grow your online income…please don’t neglect your family in the process.

Read this poem.  You’ll be glad you did.

Father Forgets. by W. Livingston Larned

Listen, son: I am saying this as you lie asleep, one little paw crumpled under your cheek and the blond curls stickily wet on your damp forehead. I have stolen into your room alone. Just a few minutes ago, as I sat reading my paper in the library, a stifling wave of remorse swept over me. Guiltily I came to your bedside.

There are the things I was thinking, son: I had been cross to you. I scolded you as you were dressing for school because you gave your face merely a dab with a towel. I took you to task for not cleaning your shoes. I called out angrily when you threw some of your things on the floor.

At breakfast I found fault, too. You spilled things. You gulped down your food. You put your elbows on the table. You spread butter too thick on your bread. And as you started off to play and I made for my train, you turned and waved a hand and called, ‘Goodbye, Daddy!’ and I frowned, and said in reply, ‘Hold your shoulders back!’

Then it began all over again in the late afternoon. As I came up the road I spied you, down on your knees, playing marbles. There were holes in your stockings. I humiliated you before your boyfriends by marching you ahead of me to the house. Stockings were expensive – and if you had to buy them you would be more careful! Imagine that, son, from a father!

Do you remember, later, when I was reading in the library, how you came in timidly, with a sort of hurt look in your eyes? When I glanced up over my paper, impatient at the interruption, you hesitated at the door. ‘What is it you want?’ I snapped.You said nothing, but ran across in one tempestuous plunge, and threw your arms around my neck and kissed me, and your small arms tightened with an affection that God had set blooming in your heart and which even neglect could not wither. And then you were gone, pattering up the stairs.

Well, son, it was shortly afterwards that my paper slipped from my hands and a terrible sickening fear came over me. What has habit been doing to me? The habit of finding fault, of reprimanding – this was my reward to you for being a boy. It was not that I did not love you; it was that I expected too much of youth. I was measuring you by the yardstick of my own years.

And there was so much that was good and fine and true in your character. The little heart of you was as big as the dawn itself over the wide hills. This was shown by your spontaneous impulse to rush in and kiss me good night. Nothing else matters tonight, son. I have come to your bedside in the darkness, and I have knelt there, ashamed!

It is a feeble atonement; I know you would not understand these things if I told them to you during your waking hours. But tomorrow I will be a real daddy! I will chum with you, and suffer when you suffer, and laugh when you laugh. I will bite my tongue when impatient words come. I will keep saying as if it were a ritual: ‘He is nothing but a boy – a little boy!’

I am afraid I have visualized you as a man. Yet as I see you now, son, crumpled and weary in your cot, I see that you are still a baby. Yesterday you were in your mother’s arms, your head on her shoulder. I have asked too much, too much.

- W. Livingston Larned

I have a great son.  And I love him more and more each day.

To your success…

Grow Your Online Income With Lessons Learned From a UFC Champion

So what does a UFC fighter have to do with your online income? Good question. I had no idea myself until I read an article about UFC champion George St. Pierre (GSP). Here’s the jist of the article.

GSP has goals of being the world’s best pound for pound fighter. He first set a goal of being a professional fighter…then a UFC fighter…then he had a goal to be a champion in the UFC. And as he was sitting down thinking about what his next goal would be, he decided that he wants to be known as the best pound for pound fighter in the world. Mighty big goal don’t you think?

After I read the article I got to thinking. What goals do I have for myself? Am I actively working to achieve anything or am I just actively working?

Here’s the take away.
GSP set a goal and he worked to achieve it. You should too. Don’t give up on your goal and don’t skip to the next thing. Remember, you have to walk before you can run. Or in GSP’s case, you have to be a professional fighter before you can be a UFC champion.

After you achieve your goal, set another. Except this time, set your goal higher. Then actively work to achieve it. Then set another one.
The bottom line is this. If you want to grow your online income, you’ll need to set and achieve certain goals in your life.

My buddy Shawn Lim is about the best I know at teaching a person not only how to set a goal, but also how to ACHIEVE a goal.

His goal setting book explains in great detail the following:

  • How to set and achieve basically anything you want in your life (As long as you follow through the steps in my eBook)!

  • How to live a balance life by achieving great success in every areas of your life.

  • Learn how to stay focused and put in 100% concentration in what you do.

  • Help to find out who you really are and what you really want to achieve in your life.

  • Learn how you can craft and design your own destiny.

  • Develop strategies how to drive yourself and keep yourself motivated all the time!

  • Learn how to deal with feedback and change your strategies to align with your goals.

  • Learn and apply the ‘sense of urgency’ principle to make your dreams and goals come true!

  • How you can set empowering goals that drive you all the time.

  • How to put yourself on the line and become a super achiever!

And best of all, the darn book is only like $17. You can’t even find a good book at Barnes and Noble for that price anymore.
Anyway, whether or not you buy the book makes no real difference to me. What does matter to me is this.

SET A GOAL
ACHIEVE A GOAL
RINSE and REPEAT

Till next time…

Shane

P.S. I almost forgot to give the friggin link for the book. Go. See. Now. Your Goal Setting Book

Come On! Is It Even Possible to Grow Your Online Income to 6 Figures a Year Blogging?

If you want to grow your online income, AND you enjoy writing a lot, then blog marketing just might be your cup of tea. But herein lies the problem grasshopper. Can you really make a 6 figure income blogging? The short answer to that question is…yes. But…But…hold your horses and don’t get your hopes up just yet. Truth is you have to do A LOT of writing and promoting to make that kind of income from your blog.

Don’t get me wrong, the people at The $9,000 A Month Blogging System can do it month in and month out. But I don’t know if your average Joe can make that kind of online cash doing it.

First of all, if you want to make 6 figures a year blogging, then you’ll need more than one blog. It’ll take several blogs to generate that kind of income. But you can’t just have any damn blog you know. You need a blog that people will actually READ! You can’t just throw a bunch of crap on paper and expect people to want to read it. So you’ll need several quality blogs.

Then there’s the question of traffic. How are you going to put eyeballs your blogs? A friend of mine, Jack Humphrey, put together some information on How He Instantly Tripled His Traffic. Well, that doesn’t suck at all! How many people come to your blog site right now? What would your commissions be like if you could drive more traffic to your site? Probably pretty friggin good.

Blogging will be a full time income for you once you get several blogs going at one time. I’d recommend writing about stuff you already enjoy. There’s no sense in writing about stuff you don’t like. It’ll only drive you out of your mind. Trust me, I’ve been there. It sucks.

After you have several blogs rolling at one time, you may run out of time to do all the writing and promoting yourself. You may end up outsourcing some of your writing or even getting some guest bloggers to write for you. Either way, you’ll run out time to put together quality content day in and day out, so go check out Elance or the Warrior Forum and see if you can hire some people to write for you for real cheap.

Remember a minute ago I told you about my friend Jack Humphrey? Jack has been running a training center called “Blog Success” for over 5 years now. In Blog Success, he teaches all of the exact methods he uses to create “authority blogs” that lead the pack in any market! It’s a pretty sweet deal. And if you’re kinda new to blogging, then you should check out his site at Blog Success.

Cool thing is about Jack’s site is the fact that he has this $1 trial going on now. So you can give his product a try for like a buck. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me. After all, the Lipton Green Tea I’m drinking right now cost more than a buck. And when I finish it, the only thing it’ll give me is the urge to go to the bathroom.

Anyway, I wanted to let you know about Jack’s course and the $1 trial. Trouble is, I don’t really know how long he’s gonna keep that trial around. So go check out Blog Success while the offer is still running.

To your blogging success.

Good times and fuzzy bunnies!

Shane

P.S. The economy friggin blows, but people are still making a killing blogging. Are you? If not, then go check out Blog Success right now.

Don’t Get Fat Trying to Grow Your Online Income

Most people who are new to internet marketing never really think about their weight when they get into this profession. But let me tell you, if you’ve come from a job where you performed manual labor to the internet marketing career, you’re going to pack on some unwanted weight fast. Think about it for a second. What’s the life of an internet marketer like anyway? Here’s brief synopsis.

• Wake up between 5:00 and 6:00 a.m.
• Go to the computer and read some emails or motivational material
• Begin to write blog posts for their chosen niche
• Write articles for their chosen niche
• Comment on other blogs in their niche
• Venture over to the Warrior Forum for a few moments and pick up some new ideas and post some comments
• Submit their articles to article directories
• Work on getting traffic to their site(s)
• Work on product creation
• Review other niches to work in
• Write some more articles
• Rinse and repeat…

All the while you are doing this while sitting ON YOUR ASS! Don’t get me wrong, I love working online and I love talking to you all about how to grow your online income. But it will come with a price if you don’t watch it. And that price you’ll pay is weight gain.

So Now What?


Personally, I go to the gym 4 days a week, sometimes 5. I work out for about an hour when I go, sometimes more. I also had to change my eating habits too folks, because my diet was nothing shy of horrible.

But I can assure you that if you’ve never really been the kind of person to go the gym, then this will be even more difficult than growing your online income. You’re going to need some help. I wouldn’t really recommend a personal trainer right now because they cost too much. Maybe you can read some books about diet, nutrition and exercise and get motivated, maybe not.

Most books I’ve read on the weight loss and build muscle category are boring and their methods are old and don’t really fit my needs. However, probably the coolest program I’ve come across is from Joel Marion.

He has this program called Xtreme Fat Loss Diet. I’m not much into watching the workout shows on TV, what I can tell you is this guy’s been featured on Oxygen, ABC, CBS and FOX. And his product is pretty freaking good.

The coolest thing about it is that right now he has a $5 trial offer. That’s cheaper than any weight loss or exercise book I’ve ever read or bought. So for 5 bucks you can try his workout and diet program and if you don’t like it…just refund it. But I doubt you will.

Hey, your online income is important…I know. But your online income won’t amount to a hill of beans if your health sucks. So just for craps and laughs, go check out The Xtreme Fat Loss Diet and tell me what you think.

To your success in growing your online income.

Peace,

Shane

P.S. For 5 bucks, what have you go to lose. Go check out the Xtreme Fat Loss Diet now.
