Why do you want more traffic?
Is that even the right goal?
Traffic!
If I only had more traffic… We all lament the lack of traffic.
That’s the MyNAMS.com Alexa traffic ranking as of Oct. 1, 2013. In the US, we’re under 10,000 and have been as low as 5,000.
That’s an amazing number and hard to do. It means in the US, we’re the 9,680th most visited site.
Those numbers alone would get us good advertising deals if we used that as a business model, which we don’t.
But let’s get real. What does all this traffic mean?
Nothing!
If it doesn’t convert to new business, absolutely nothing.
Actually, it could be worse than nothing. Infrastructure costs – hosting, backup, labor – all soar as you get more traffic. So, it’s imperative that you CONVERT that traffic.
Another fact: You can’t convert what you don’t have.
So, you have to have traffic to even begin to work on conversions. See how this works? Step-by-step, hand-in-hand, business builds on new traffic.
That’s why this month’s MyNAMS Insider Club challenge is on traffic. Not just getting more traffic, but doing the right thing with it.
And on Oct. 17th, we’ll spend an entire day on traffic generation and conversion.
But it’s for Insiders only. You can become a member here.
Making sales - converting traffic - is key to staying in business. So, we'll drive traffic, monitor and improve traffic.
The reason I tell you that is because I know way too many internet marketers who concentrate 95% of their time towards traffic sources. If that's the case, then you're going to miss out on profit simply because traffic alone doesn't translate into money. There are many other variables - things we're talking about in our challenge - that contribute to revenue generation.
So, traffic generation activities are key to this challenge, but just as important is sourcing it, tracking it and doing more of what works.
Having said all of that, there are (again) quite a few activities that you can tackle -
- Buying PPC ads.
- Buying solo mailings.
- Participating in joint ventures.
- Using banner advertising.
- Using SEO techniques.
- Distributing ezine articles.
- Creating viral tools and reports.
- Growing your affiliate program.
- Updating your signature file.
- Exchanging links, ads and banners.
- Participating in discussions.
- Utilizing social bookmarking.
- Posting comments on blogs.
- Advertising offline.
Determine what works best for you -- your budget, your creativity, your product, your current situation -- and work those into your schedule and see if you don't begin to see traffic come to your site.
Instead of jumping from one thing to the next (which is what most people do) and never really see any momentum build, why not pick a half dozen things to do and then repeat them over and over for the next month and see some real progress?
And join us today MyNAMS Insider Club to get the most support in a private, focused and personal way.

MyNAMS Training - Learn what you need when you need to learn it!
The MyNAMS Training system is focused on thorough step-by-step instruction with that meets you where you are.

Yes! We teach marketing, traffic generation, technology, keyword research and much more, but only when you're ready. And if you need help just getting the technical aspects of doing business online, we have more than 1300 tutorial videos in the Library.

In fact, you can be selling products from the Niche Mall even if you've never sold anything before and don't have a website.

We provide you graphics, article content, images, audio clips, reports, sales funnels, turnkey websites, and even adsense website portals so you can begin immediately to create or improve your business with confidence that you don't have to spend a ton more cash.

Others prefer to personalize each “#FF” recommendation with a small blurb about why their recommended Twitter user is worth following. They may release individual #FF tweets all Friday long. Here’s a powerful example of a single tweet:
In the multiple tweet example preceding this one, the poster has done something a little different and recommended only verified tweeters – “verified” meaning Twitter has personally checked out the account holder and verified that they are for real. (You usually see verification more with celebrities, to .)
In the single tweet, the poster does a masterly job of telling the Twitterverse what #FilmFare is and why people who love Bollywood movies should follow this hashtag – in five succinct words.
A little originality in tweets can cause a flurry of click throughs. People are used to long lists of names to follow: They are not used to something like the #FF tweet below!
