Getting tons of traffic online is getting simpler now a days. Why simpler? Well for one good reason, we have social tools like Stumbleupon and Digg which you can leverage on to get traffic easily and see instant results REALLY fast.
However, not many marketers or bloggers share the real secret behind how successful bloggers start earning their money from their blogs or affiliate programs that they are promoting.
Read carefully what I am about to say because you can NEVER find such a crazy blogger like me who would share real truth behind what countless number of bloggers all over the blogsphere like to talk about. In fact, most of the tactics that are shared do WORKS! However most of them do not make money but does give lots of traffic! Would you prefer more traffic or more cash? You decide...
Here’s are 5 simple rules I use and if you are serious to make money from either blogs or affiliate programs you would want to read them…
1. DO NOT FOCUS ON ONLY GETTING TRAFFIC!
You can be a master in getting HUGE and HUGE amounts of traffic maybe 100 or 300 hits a day on your sites from social tools or forums or what ever methods you are using. As a newbie in the past I was so addicted about getting traffic I was shocked to find out that non of them or only a handful of them actually converted into dollars and cents. It was until when I started to shift my attention to getting traffic or readers that can be converted to cash, I started to see some results. And when I meant results I only meant cash coming in because that is what we all want right?
The point I am trying to point out here is, you NEED TO FOCUS on getting BUYER’s traffic not just FREE TRAFFIC! Free traffic is good but what comes free normally only are interested in FREE STUFF. And we all know we love free stuff but what would make a FREEBIE turn into a customer? Think about that and you will get your answer.
2. Customer’s Experience Is Important!
Many bloggers or business owners always failed to do one thing and that is to ensure we give great customer satisfaction! It is the most basic thing in business but strangely no one bothers about it online, most often people will just sell one product for one time and do not really care if you actually use it.
If you ever purchased my Atomic Blogging system you will know I do not forget my customers and do give many valuable updates and free bonuses to help them along the way. I realized by giving more, I have gain much respect from my customers and even manage to get emails from all other the world commenting about my product.
Many marketers online may have tons and tons of customers but the respect gain from them will decrease if they do not factor the importance of customer satisfaction!
3. Show People You Care About Them
People in general normally do not bother to get to know you more unless you have shown them you are interested in their well being! Why? Because if I can convince you that I can help you to make a better living by making you able to make more money online taught by me, would you be happier in your life? Also I found out the more you are able to communicate with your readers or customers the more you will get in return as you show more care and concern for their business. The formula to success online is to always helps other before you help yourself! Sadly most people do the opposite!
The best way to do this is you can ask questions to your readers what are their current problems they faced and give them free solutions! One great example on how I did that was I actually paid people to answer questions at this post here. From that survey I knew exactly what my readers wanted so I just give them what they want. The better you are at solving people’s problem, the more money you will make. That’s for sure! How I know that? Because I do practice it and I did see really amazing results!
4. Start Thinking of Ways to Monetized Your Site or Business
Most bloggers main income mainly came from advertisements and banners if you have notice. However, in order to sell them really well you seriously need a HUGE base of traffic to your websites and advertisers to your blog.
I found out most of the popular blogs we saw today, mainly use word of mouth or ppc to marketing their site and is doing really well! Just do a research on some of the popular bloggers around and you will realized what I say is truth.
Many people thinks that you need lots of traffic to make money from blogger! It’s not the traffic or numbers that really count if you ask me. It the NUMBER of loyal readers and customers you have that is MORE important! Why? Because they give you more leverage and even cash? Make sense?
One really easy way to start is you can sign up for a FREE account at text-link-ads and start selling text links! You will noticed almost ALL bloggers who are full time do that! So what are you waiting for? Start selling something on your blog!
5. Have More Then One Stream of Income!
I did a survey study and research on many popular bloggers, found out their main stream of income is not coming from their blogs. The income often came from other sources or investment that they have but no one knows about it because they do not openly talk about it! And strangely everyone think they will make money from the blog! But in fact they actually make even more from other sites they own!
Because they understood the principles or multiple streams of income, most successful marketers or bloggers will have at least 5 or more websites online trying to make money for them. Just do a Google on their names and you will be surprised what you find.
Summary
Traffic is IMPORTANT but making money is much more important! Would you rather have 1,000 hits a days which only generates $100 a month or maybe get only 100 hits a day and get $1,000 a month on your blogs or sites? The answer is obvious and at the end of the day money is still a need for everyone.
But not everyone online can do it, you need something that cannot be bought and that is a REALLY strong desire to really want it really madly will you go the extra miles to get to where you want to achieve.
