How would you like to greatly increase the number of visitors to your website without any need for expensive advertising. Did you know that pay per click costs are hitting the roof these days? Traffic or lack of it is the greatest obstacle many online marketers face. There are many sources of free traffic available nowadays, the best source is through social media such as twitter, facebook and linkedin as well as blogging.
How would you like to access the same coaching that I and many other students received? Dean Holland (whom coached myself) along with Adam Spiel (Adam formed the very successful web hosting company, ProhostManagement whom I have hosted my account with) have made his coaching program available online and will show you how to get started for a $1 fortnight trial as a limited marketing test for the solid turbo traffic system worth $497, in order to learn how to dominate the search engines using social media traffic and wordpress.
Dean was coached by Alex Jeffreys along with Lee McIntyre who enjoys a 6 figure a month income working part time. Imagine what you could do with all that money if you had the time to enjoy it like Dean, Alex and Lee do.

Forums are the place to develop a long term reputation. The most well known forum in the Internet marketing area is the Warrior forum. Other forums for Internet marketing include IM4newbies and Self Starters Weekly tips. You can search for forums in your niche in Google or any search engine by typing your keyword + forum.
The benefits of forums if used in the correct way are:
- Excellent source of free traffic.
- Can help to build reputation and brand awareness by providing good information.
- Forums are a great place to build relationships with other people in your niche.
- Forums are a place where you can learn from experts in your niche.
- You can also make money from forums by building a good reputation.
The correct way to use a forum is to:
- Interact with other forum members in your niche by sharing your expertise.
- Ask for advice and any questions that you have on something that you are interested in and answer other peoples questions if you know the answer to their problem.
- Can answer and contribute to other peoples posts by giving good value to the post.
- Share any achievements you have made such as overcoming an obstacle, achieving your goal such as having so many subscribers or making your first dollar online.
There are incorrect ways to use forums as well and forms are not the place to:
- Add affiliate links to. People are searching for information on forums rather to looking to make a purchase. Can add a link to your blog in the forum signature if allowed.
- Avoid creating posts to promote and to add links to your own stuff unless allowed to.
- Avoid writing posts that are just for getting traffic back to your site. It is not well received.
- Forums are not a place to start arguments.
- Above all, never lie on forums.

Now getting towards the end of the starting with marketing program. Up to this point, the main focus has been within the starting with marketing group and generating traffic with twitter, blog commenting on other students blogs and participating in giveaway events. Now is the time to branch out across the Internet to gain outside attention.
The avenues to get more traffic from outside the group include forums, article writing and submission, and commenting on other blogs in the same niche as you.
I have created a blog post for each method.
Best regards,
So far I have been commenting on blogs within the starting with marketing community. To branch out from the community and generate additional new traffic, it is necessary to find other blogs to comment on in the same niche. Relevant blogs can be found from the following sources:
- Using the search engines and typing your niche + blogs.
- Peoples bios in twitter.
- Social media and bookmarking sites such as facebook, squidoo and digg .
- Comments on yours and other blogs.
- Blogs found from forum signatures.
Go for blogs that have traffic and comments on their blogs already and visit these blogs regularly. Also check out some new blogs and drop the ones that are not getting you traffic or not benefiting from.
Best regards,
Articles are another great way to generate free traffic. Articles are a 250-5000 text (in EzineArticles) about a particular topic that helps solve peoples problems by providing tips and techniques.
The main objective of writing articles are to rank in the search engines by adding keywords relating to your particular niche. These articles are then submitted to article directories. The main article directories include EzineArticles, ArticleCity, GoArticles or ArticleBase. Articles can help you to be perceived as an expert in you niche.
Article writing can be outsourced to RentaCoder or Elance. I would recommend the Philippines for your outsourcers as they are known for their honesty, hard work and are inexpensive to hire plus the fact that jobs are hard to find in the Philippines.
Articles are generally broken down into sections as shown below.
- First select the category and subcategory of your niche.
- The first section of the article is the title. This is the most critical part to rank in the search engines. Your title must be keyword dense.
- The next section is the abstract or article summery. The abstract is to entice your potential reader to read your article. It is your promotional message that conveys the benefits of the article to your reader. The best abstract is usually between 2-5 sentences and has no paragraphs. It has no self promotion in it.
- The next section is the main article body. This is where you give to your reader any tips, techniques and information about your niche. Avoid adding any links to your sales copy in this section. Do not give your javascript, html image tags or tables in your article.
- Now that your article is written. It is time to add your keywords. Keywords can are generated from google’s own keyword research tool. Choose keywords that have over 1,000 monthly search volume that do not have too high competition.
- The last section of the article is the authors resource box. This is where you give an overview of your business. You can add your links and URLs here. Be sure to add the http:// to your URL so that it gets formatted correctly and do not add a period after the URL as this invalidates the URL.

List building is the next module in the Starting with Marketing Academy.
If you have been involved in Internet marketing for some time, you will have been told that the money is in the list. This holds some truth but is not the full story. The full story is that:
The money is with the relationship that you have with your list.
So how do you go about building the list from your blog? You need offer something of value for free related to your niche, such as an ebook in exchange for a name and email address. From this information, you can build up a list of people to market to as you have provided something of value in which they have expressed an interest in.
To capture the name and email of your prospects, an auto-responder is required. The auto-responder allows you to email people that have opted in to your list automatically and you can choose the intervals of each email sent. Aweber is the auto-responder that I have been recommended as it offers excellent support and live training sessions. I have added a link in the recommendations section of my blog so you can start building your list. Other auto-responders include Getresponse.
You may wonder what to put in the email sequence and how often to sent each.
Firstly you need to provide a download link to the product that they opted into and to thank them for opt in into your list. This is sent immediately after they opt in from your blog or website.
The next email asks if they received the download OK and the chance to iron out any problems with the download, inviting them to reply to your email or to leave a comment on your blog. You can ask how they are getting on with the ebook or what ever you offered.
In your next email, sent 24-48 hours after the previous you can ask if they were happy with the product that they received and if they achieve their objectives such as setting up a blog. At this stage you can invite your prospect over to check out your blog and offer any help that they require by asking them to reply to your email or leave a comment.
These three emails have enabled you to build a good relationship with you list. You have given them something of value for free, and a way for them to interact with you.
Now that you have built up a relationship with your list, you are now in a position to market to your list any product that will help then achieve their goals. This could your own or an affiliate product. A good source to promote affiliate products are clickbank or commission junction.
