Your Natural Talents and Abilities
child comes into the world
with secret orders. What are yours? What were you born
to do? What are the special talents, abilities, interests, de-
sires, and skills that make you unique—different from all
other people? How do you know when you are doing
what you are meant to do? How can you tell?
Here are ten indicators that you can use to determine
that you are in the right field, doing what you were put on
this earth to do:
1.You loveyour job. It interests you, fascinates you,
attracts you
You want to be excellentat your job, to be among
the top 10 percent in your field.
3.You admirethe top people in your field and want to
be like them, to achieve their same level of success.
4.You like to learnabout your chosen field—to read
about it, attend courses and lectures on it, listen to
audio programs about it. You never tire of learning
more throughout your life.
5.The right job for you is something that is easy to
learn and easy to do. It seems to come naturally
to you, while it is difficult for most others.
6.When you are fully engaged in your work, time
stands still. You often forget to eat, drink, take
breaks, or rest.
7.Success experiences in this field give you your
greatest feelings of self-esteem and satisfaction,
your peak experiences in life. You can hardly wait
to achieve success again.
8.You like to thinkabout your work and talk about
it when you aren’t doing it. It is interwoven with
your whole life.
9.You like to associatewith other people in your field
and to “talk shop” on every occasion.
10.You plan to do this work all your life, to never retire,
because you enjoy it so much
It has been said, “Do what you love; the money will
follow.” True success comes from discovering what you
love to do and then throwing your whole heart into doing
it better and better. Determining your ideal job or career
is essential to your choosing your real destination and ful-
filling your potential.

the key to succses/CHOOSE YOUR DESTINATION 3
Chart Your Destination
The more time you take to decide upon your destination
and your goals, the faster and easier it will be for you to
reach them. Your future intent will determine your pre-
sent actions every day.
Begin with perhaps the most important question of
all: What do I really want to do with my life?
When you set goals for yourself in any part of your
life, be perfectly selfish. Idealize. Determine exactly the
conditions that would make you the happiest and give you
the greatest satisfaction if you could attain them.
Imagine that you could wave a magic wand over your
life and make it perfect in every way. What would it look
like? What would you dare to dream if you knew you
could not fail?
When you ask this question, imagine that you have no
limitationsof any kind. Imagine that you have all the time
and all the money, all the knowledge and all the skills, all
the friends and all the contacts, and all the education and
all the ability that you need to accomplish any goal that
you set for yourself. Put another way, imagine that you
have a credit card with no limit and you can fly off to any
destination.
Your Ideal Career and Income

ideal, how much would you be earning? If your work-

Your Ideal Career and Income
Begin with your job and career. If your income were
ideal, how much would you be earning? If your work-
place were perfect, what kind of a company or organiza-
tion would you work in? What kind of people would you
work with? If you could design your job, how would
you most enjoy working, and in what ways would you be
the most productive? What special talents and abilities
do you have that you would like to use at the highest pos-
sible level?
Since you are going to have to work at a job for most
of your life, one of your chief responsibilities is to be abso-
lutely clear about the perfect job for you. As Napoleon
Hill said, “The key to success is to determine what it is
that you most enjoy doing, and then find a way to make a
good living doing it.”
If you could do just one thing all day long and be paid
well for doing it, what would it be?

Local and Mobile (Free) Advertising
Local and Mobile (Free) Advertising
Lastly, we come to the next big thing in traffic: local and mobile advertising. Who would
have thought that computers and the almighty Windows OS would play second banana
to cell phones, Smartphones, and Linux and Apple-based operating systems?
Indeed, many people are using Internet ready cell phones, e-readers and multimedia
players…and are ditching their computers entirely. (Or at least keeping them locked
away in a distant armoire somewhere). Take advantage of this. Chase your audience
wherever they go—even if they go mobile.
Mobile marketing exclusively focuses on mobile device users, and involves creating
content, links, apps and text messages for traveling users. Much of this effort will be in
creating text messages for marketing (which will be similar to social networking status
messages), since users on the go don’t really have time to read articles. (Although
some websites do find it advantageous to create a mobile app or a mobile version of the
site for better loading time)
However, it combines the theory behind email marketing as well, as you are focusing
attention on subscribers to your texts. (And you also want to use the double opt in
system for this, since people will NOT appreciate SPAM text messages)
Lastly, consider the new technology of local marketing, made possible through mobile
devices which can localize all of your Internet information. The biggest local sites to
consider for your mobile marketing campaign include:
$Google Maps
$Facebook Places
$Google Places
Signing up at all of these sites can help you to reach the attention of people within your
local vicinity. Google Maps takes advantage of localization features and can actually
direct local web traffic using mobile devices to your company because of your close
proximity.
One of the newest Google algorithm updates, Venice, helps to increase the SERPs of
local companies in the area who are creating content for local customers. Google
Places and Facebook Places are search engine giants for local business, and can help
direct mobile traffic and regular web traffic towards your company based solely on
where you (and the target customer) are located.

Affiliate Programs
Affiliate Programs and Joint Venture Campaigns
Affiliate programs, in this context, do not exclusively refer to an affiliate sales program
such as the one offered by Amazon.com; though some programs are interconnected
through a single network. Rather, it means that you can associate yourself with a
network and benefit from their traffic boosts—while also earning money for your traffic or
paying money to receive more traffic.
In essence, it is a glorified version of a link exchange, with some pivotal differences. An
affiliate program acts as an intermediary between web publishers (known as the
affiliates) and retailers who want to sell their products. You may choose either role if
you sign up with an affiliate…though you will only be able to work within the network.
You must also abide by the terms of the network as far as content goes, though you can
negotiate various issues such as banner sizes and placements, text ads, anchor text
ads and various other options.
You can benefit from the popularity of other websites within the network and enjoy a
blog-like community dynamic when you sign up for an affiliate program. The only thing
is, you have to consider questions such as: Does my site fit the theme of the other sites
on the network? (This is not only important for branding purposes, but also for traffic,
since you are only going to receive benefits if you can interest users from those other
sites.)
Basically, with an affiliate program you can expose your website to more traffic sources
and reach a larger, hopefully more mainstream audience. Of course, the retailer is only
interested in promoting the program to the publishers who are doing publicity for the
products.
Of course, revenue sharing and Cost-Per-Click or Cost Per Impression models are not
of prime importance to you, not if you want to earn traffic the fastest and most effective
way. The bottom line is that you can take your website and your stats directly to
advertisers and make more money without any content restrictions or other annoying
rules that you might encounter at an affiliate network.
Many entrepreneurs have worked with affiliate networking pro
grams and passed their
minimum traffic requirements…only to realize that there wasn’t much money to be
gained besides a few pennies a day. That, together with the fact that only hanging large
banners on your site seems to increase revenue—and that this may be in violation of
new search engine standards—make this a questionable opportunity
Joint Venture opportunities are similar to link exchanges and affiliate marketing but only
involve working with one or more large companies and establishing your own sort of
mutually beneficial “network”. Once again, this will only prove effective if you focus on
joint content development, or perhaps guest blogging. Keep things interesting and don’t
let the links do all the talking. Make sure you including some interesting text and anchor
text along with your links.

Giving Away Free Stuff
Giving Away Free Stuff
If worse comes to worst, you could always offer direct incentives to your audience in
exchange for their visit. For example, free giveaways, free coupons, free meals and so
on. Honestly, it is a good and fast way to boost popularity and website traffic—
especially if you’re giving away something truly amazing. (The best way to do it is to
start the fire on your social networking page and then direct them to your homepage for
contest details and entry forms) Big traffic all around with this approach.
However, don’t fall into the trap of paying for traffic—as in spending more money on
gifts than you actually make. What many web entrepreneurs and store owners are
trying right now is the gift of knowledge—the gift of viral content. It only costs you time
and that could be cheaper than giving away a lot of expensive prizes.
Then again, if writing 10 free articles costs you more in time than buying a few
customized company hats, then maybe it’s time to reevaluate the situation.

PPC Advertising / Text Links
PPC Advertising / Text Links
PPC is usually not something associated with free web traffic generation…because by
nature it costs companies to use its technology. This is an alternative to SEO, and while
it does use similar logic to the search engine algorithm, it is more about whoever bids
the most per click.
Not only do you publicize your company through text ads, but you also benefit by
“impressions”, which are the number of times your company text (or banner) is seen by
an online audience. They don’t have to “click” to get an idea of who you are. PPC
companies (like as Google and Facebook, the two most well known examples) make
money not only by the total number of clicks you pay for, but also because they demand
a high impression count so that they continue to make money.
How does this concern you as a business owner going after free traffic?
First, there are free introductory PPC deals you can look into. Why, even some web
hosts are now giving away $50-100 of free text ads. There are also true-blue free PPC
sites out there, such as seen at Squidoo (a popular directory that lets you create
individual web pages).
Of course, “free PPC” is only a few steps away from “affiliate linking” opportunity (our
next topic to discuss), since both methods involve trading clicks and impressions from
one company to another. Of course, with affiliate networks, you also have the option of
making money or paying money.

Ad Swaps / Link Exchanges
Ad Swaps / Link Exchanges
Speaking of trading links, is it true that trading banners or text links with another
company similar to your own (or in a related field) is a waste of time? Not exactly. True,
there has been a lot of publicity lately stating, in so many words, that link exchanges are
not as effective as you once thought them to be. And this makes perfect sense.
Consider, that for a while, many poor marketers online were creating “mutual benefit”
link exchanges with each other in hopes of artificially inflating their external links—and
thus getting special attention from Google for being a high PR site. That’s not really the
same thing as a small company that actually works hard for its links by creating press
releases, blogs, articles for directories and other mediums.
So yes, many SEO “experts” were stopped dead in their tracks as Google and other big
wigs informed the world that link exchanges are simply not valuable in most cases.
Namely, when companies just use them as a means of leverage.
This is not to say that mutual link exchanges are always a bad thing. When there is a
good reason for a link exchange, as in a “blog roll” of authors who write on the same
subject, then the search engines will count that as a legitimate link. In some cases,
mutual link exchanges may work…but only if you prove to search engines that you are
actually working together (such as, guest blogging) and are not mindlessly exchanging
links for cheap traffic boosting purposes

Banner Advertising
Banner Advertising
Take banner advertising for instance. Usually, this involves paying a website to host
your banner ad, and when a user clicks on it, he or she is directed back to your site.
This is the relatively cheap cyber equivalent of a commercial—something that’s
relatively targeted (at least in demographical information; i.e. advertising baby products
on a site that caters to new moms) but still not as targeted as search engine traffic—
which actually penetrated the user’s mind, and uses the same keywords he or she is
thinking.
Of course, banner advertising does not have to be paid advertising. Here’s an idea:
create multiple sites (but do NOT duplicate content) and then place banner ads taking
your users from one site to the next. Or, you could barter with other websites in
exchange for a banner ad. Banner ads don’t really count in estimating overall links (the stuff that gets you high ranked), at least not to the extent that organic SEO links can.
However, if you have an artistic or commercial design skill, you may find it useful to go
ahead and create a banner ad using fancy font text (still appropriate to your site theme)
or other decorative shapes or objects. In general, avoid GIF animation, and opt insteadfor Flash or another dynamic technology. Of course, some users hate flashing banners
altogether, regardless of technology. Keep banners simple and make sure you convey
a message…not merely an attitude or a thought that leads nowhere.
There are “standards” of banner sizes to consider. Here are standard sizes to choose
from:
468 x 60 Full Banner
728 x 90 Leaderboard
336 x 280 Square
300 x 250 Square
250 x 250 Square
160 x 600 Skyscraper
120 x 600 Skyscraper
120 x 240 Small Skyscraper
240 x 400 Fat Skyscraper
234 x 60 Half Banner
180 x 150 Rectangle
125 x 125 Square Button
120 x 90 Button
120 x 60 Button
88 x 31 Button
In addition to trading banners with other companies, networks or search directories, you can also set up banners for affiliate network opportunities or even for self promotion. Soyes, it is a smart idea to create a banner now before you suddenly find out that you
need one and have nothing in the works!

The trick to Creating Viral Pages
The trick to Creating Viral Pages
The secret of creating virus-like pages. The only secrets and techniques are consistency,
and using a pulse on what the globe is thinking…a few nights early. You have to get consistent, because for every single page you create which does go viral, you'll have many
others that never locate a massive audience. Keep sending them in existence on a regular
basis and local plumber. That way, you will know what “type” of content appeals to hits,
and thus which kind of future projects you must be planning.
It also helps to review the news as from what is happening around the internet, including
viral sensations, in addition to general interest news. Understanding what the globe is
thinking about, thinking about, and how they’re laughing it up at the moment, is always a
good thing to remember for after you create content of your own.
It is definitely recommended you make time to acquire viral content because this is
a great way to boost traffic and never having to pay.

The secret of creating virus-like pages. The only secrets and techniques are consistency,
and using a pulse on what the globe is thinking…a few nights early. You have to get consistent, because for every single page you create which does go viral, you'll have many
others that never locate a massive audience. Keep sending them in existence on a regular
basis and local plumber. That way, you will know what “type” of content appeals to hits,
and thus which kind of future projects you must be planning.
It also helps to review the news as from what is happening around the internet, including
viral sensations, in addition to general interest news. Understanding what the globe is
thinking about, thinking about, and how they’re laughing it up at the moment, is always a
good thing to remember for after you create content of your own.
It is definitely recommended you make time to acquire viral content because this is
a great way to boost traffic and never having to pay.

Applications, Games, Tools and Different Multimedia
Applications, Games, Tools and Different Multimedia
If you’re all out of text and picture thoughts, or perhaps you would like to diversify your viral
strategy then think about a developmental approach—creating applications, video games
tools and other multimedia projects exclusively for the customers. This yet another
form of incentive and several, many companies are happy to invest hundreds or actually
thousands of dollars inside creating a tool which is to be useful to their customers.
After all, if you host this tool on your own site, your customers will flock to it, wanting to
use this tool. Along the way, they will see ones brand, your web design whilst your prices
and may be convinced to give your company a look at. Giving just a little extra upfront is
a sensible way to recruit interest.
You’re probably thinking… “That appears to be all well and good…but I will be not a programmer! ”
Certainly you’re not. Most of people aren’t…but that doesn’t imply you can’t outsource this
job to a programmer or perhaps even download a public domain tool that you could install
on your own site and brand with your own individual name. This is truly away from the box thinking,
as it could cater to the short-attention span of several Internet viewers, or cash in directly
on their reported need. (i. e. someone is seeking a calculator made exclusively for home
financing…and bingo, they will find your tool. ).

Social bookmark management
Social bookmark management
Next, consider the topic of social bookmark creating, a new trend in web surfing this is the
link equivalent to document sharing—an application that means that you can share website links and also
website content, and in addition organize it, store this, manage it and look for similar content.
This form of social bookmarking, also referred to as tagging, can help users look for niche
content all over the web and promote themselves, as well as other folks. It is similar with a
social network, as much as sharing goes, but is more centered on promoting good text
pages than merely reaching others.
Descriptions are added along with bookmarks via metadata, to ensure context is
immediately understood upon loading the web link. Users can also discuss the content,
vote about them, or vote on the grade of the article. Some sites even let you
keep track of all changes and statistics, which include how their bookmarks tend to be shared and
tagged by others. Bookmarks can also end up being emailed integrated with social networking.
Some of the top social bookmark creating sites include Delicious, Get, Reddit and
StumbleUpon. These are excellent visitors boosters as they can assist you to go “viral”.They are also content-centric, meaning they are less concerned with images, and more
concerned with articles of high caliber and of unique articles.
You can submit your own writings to such sites to think about, but ideally, (and exactly like with
all the Web 2 . 0. 0 applications we have been discussing) you want to help promote other
people’s content also. Don’t blindly recommend things to be a chore. Help to encourage
content that you believe in—ideas your business can stand behind.
What is the most frequent reason why articles fail to go viral on these sites (which are
meant to draw huge traffic to be able to individual web pages)? It will always be because:
$The content only isn’t that unique or perhaps interesting;
$The content is good nevertheless the information is too imprecise;The content is good but the headline is not catchy enough to draw in readers;
$The description does not highlight the material as a must read;
$Bad formatting (i.e. long paragraphs) or a boring introduction;
$A bad choice of keywords;
$You haven’t made it easy for people to bookmark your site;
$You’re submitting on a bad schedule. (Usually, your content will only give you a
headline or front page coverage for 24 hours) The best time to submit a link or
an article is later than 10 AM central time, and as late as 3 PM central time.
Beyond or before this, the competition may be too great;
$Improper categorization;
$No profile (Maybe it won’t hurt your traffic…but what a waste if you can’t direct all
that traffic to your site!);
$Not reaching out to the community and joining a network of friends (like social
networking, social bookmarking is a waste if you don’t want to go out comment,promote and interact with others); Lastly, consider that social bookmarking and having a text page for “viral” can often
times be a deceptively easy task to accomplish. Many webmasters are excited to see
when a story receives thousands of hits in a day. However, if he doesn’t capitalize on
that success with a series of similar topics, all that traffic is just going to drop. It will be
15 minutes or fame. So decide if you want just 15 minutes or hours and hours in the
spotlight!

Unique Content
Unique Content
If you don’t have any ideas for video, or don’t see any use for video, then don’t bother
making any video clips. There are way too many boring, amateur and pointless videos
out there. If you would rather write, then write—but focus on creating outstanding
creative text pages that can go viral and earn you lots of traffic.
Oh, your work is cut out for you, all right. Basic texts and even fairly good articles don’t
go viral…they simply get occasional traffic. If you want to get loads of free traffic then
you have to focus on making your content thoroughly unique and dynamic in concept.
You want your audience to think that they cannot and will not see anything like this ever
again—and this will move them to share it with their friends.
That emotional reaction is pivotal. Not we’re not saying you have to write something
that’s going to get everybody misty-eyed. (Might not work very well if your goal is selling
beer) But the emotional reaction you are looking for can result from anything that the
audience sees as useful, including content that:
$Is useful in achieving their own ambitions;
$Is very entertaining; makes them laugh, or produces another positive emotion;
$Conveys important news or trends developing;
Makes them think about nostalgia;
$Makes them think they are learning something top secret;
$Helps them to be sociable and find other people with their niche interest;
$Identifies a problem and solution that has not been explained anywhere else;
$Introduces new ideas; or
$Shows something amazing, outrageous or hard to believe.
Of course, you have to be sure that the unique content you’re developing is both
relevant to your industry, and that it identifies a “need” that already exists. So be careful
about introducing new ideas that are not proven to have a need or a market yet. These
can oftentimes amount to time-waster pages. Great ideas…but no audience for them.

Pretty Pictures
Pretty Pictures
Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words…and sometimes a simple picture can
go on to outstanding viral success, perhaps earning a website or an individual’s
Facebook page thousands of shares, likes and reads. Just think if you could associate
your brand name with a popular picture that goes viral.
The million-dollar question is; how do you create an image that really captivates
attention and boosts traffic? First and foremost, make sure you have the proper avenue. Do you notice that many of the pictures you find on Facebook have the same
“group” name? These are actually groups created solely for the purpose of gaining a
following through picture sharing. They are found through Facebook’s search engine,
though they also link to one another and are shared among friends.
So, the first secret to using pictures is to find an audience that appreciates your images,
whether they are inspirational, funny, dramatic, controversial or witty. Rather than waste
time developing something that is brilliant, spend more time developing an image that
your customers will appreciate. Sometimes a picture can be something as simple as a
high quality photo of a new car (great for building an automotive readership) or perhaps
a witty saying that supports your company’s values.
Be sure that all of your images are optimized, in that they accurately reflect the
keywords you want to target. You can verify image SEO integrity by saving the file
name as the targeted keyword you want, and by providing alternate text that is a
keyword. You can also a caption stating the keyword. Last but not least, type the
keyword out in the article or on the social networking page, clearly stating what it is.
Prober labeling will ensure that your picture is either found on a search engine or
distributed across social media with proper identification. The same applies for all
videos; label them whenever possible.
Last but not least, try to tell a story with the video content you use. Sometimes a story
can be conveyed in images; a subject, a situation, a problem or a resolution. This is
how commercials on TV are formatted and it’s also how print publications approach
advertising.
More to the point, not only should you tell your audience a story visually, but you should
also try to address the “needs” of your audience in the image. Usually, when you think
of “needs” in marketing, it’s all about the sales pitch. However, it’s good to remember
that you can actually poke your customer’s needs in incidental marketing, such as in
creating images, videos or just through typical social networking interaction. For example, consider the average “millionaire marketer” personality. He doesn’t really
sell his company when he visits bloggers, or comments on people’s pages. However,
he does talk about his lifestyle. You see, he is very subtly calling attention to the fact
that he’s happy and living the big life—something that others will definitely pick up and
want to know more about.
You can use the same concept when you create viral video. Tell a story and address—
however subtly as possible—the needs of your customers. Better yet, you could use a
site like Pinterest to link all of your images together and tell a continuing “story” of your
values, your company directive—the things, the images that matter to you. Even
though you’re blatantly advertising, you are saying quite a lot.

Where to Host Your Content
Where to Host Your Content
Where you can Coordinator Your articles
This can be a fairly easy step, right? Not necessarily. A lot of people actually do want to host
large video clip as well as audio content on their main site…they will surely benefit from all of the
targeted visitors in the event the content goes virus-like. Even so, this will likely undertake a large amount connected with net space
as well as “bandwidth” (trust me…you don’t really have “unlimited bandwidth”) and you'll
turn out needing to opt for a specific server (big bucks) earlier than later.
No ask yourself numerous business people would prefer to function with a free of charge storage space web site, or possibly
the social networking web site which allows this saving connected with huge files. The most
noticeable websites pertaining to storage space incorporate Youtube . com (you may even develop your own station as well as
hyperlinks as well as store your entire video tutorials in a location), Facebook or myspace (you can certainly store video tutorials on
your own page) as well as a small number of other websites just like DailyMotion, MetaCafe etc. (For
several cause even though, MegaUpload doesn’t apparently work anymore…)
Aside from both of these choices, you then have a third a single: host your current significant content with a storage space
web site after which simply connection to that along with your social networking web site or perhaps your current standard web page.
Thankfully that the handful of cloud storage space services (the biggest thing in web business
today) tend to be totally free. Fog up hosting space tend to be a good idea, while they enable you to remotely back up.
Free cloud servers include:
$DropBox (2 gigs free)
$SugarSync (5 gigs free)
$ZumoDrive (2 gigs free)
$Team Drive (2 gigs free)
Ubuntu (2 gigs free)
$iDrive (5 gigs free)

Video and Audio Content
Online video and Sound Information
A lot of small business internet sites don’t have got video clip and sound recording articles, except
you’re speaking about management and business internet sites. While not long ago as ten years back, tiny to midrange
organizations generally never idea when it comes to image business presentation or maybe personal face-to-face
gross sales. This really is the reason a lot of businesses are right now making video clip articles online—
because of the idea that no-one in addition is doing the item. Properly, that had been this perspective once the huge
virus-like thrive 1st begun.
Currently, many organization are becoming into your work and are generating their own
tutorial video tutorials, their own video clip presentations, and even their own small funny skits
and brief motion pictures. All of it creates fantastic promotion. Although you may don’t “go viral” and find
millions of visits in a very week, you may nonetheless complete a long lasting effect in your qualified prospects knowning that
might easily change these qualified prospects directly into having to pay buyers. A great deal of having to pay buyers will certainly
create a new visitors increase, even if you’re not necessarily the subsequent Dramatic Chipmunk sensation.
Audio presentations are also very big right now, especially if you plan on reaching
targeted customers on Smartphones, PDAs, eBook players, multimedia players and the
like. Some businesses have found great success in hosting a radio show or podcast,
and speaking on issues that are directly related to their business. Not only can an audio
show (or audio clips) help to improve listening traffic on your site (though you will likely
have to store content offsite…more on this in the next section), but you can also direct
the show’s listeners back to your website to push merchandise.
The most important things to remember when preparing video or audio content is:
$Keep it professional (rehearse dialog and prepare the scene with a director’s eye,
paying attention to detail);
$Use only quality cameras to shoot video;
$Keep all videos and audio content relevant to your business;
$Do not hard advertise; simply reflect your own professional values in the content you distribute;Create this article helpful as well as engaging, not simply video clip addressing comfortable

Create a Traffic Monster—The Thrill of Going Viral
Create a Traffic Monster—The Thrill of Going Viral
Ultimately, you will never earn 'big' traffic unless one of two things happens; you get a
big following after years of building a loyal customer base, or two, you go viral and get a
little instant fame fast. Remember what Andy Warhol said about everyone getting their
15 minutes of fame? Well, when you create 'viral' content online you can actually get
multiple sessions of 15 minutes. You can get literally thousands of unique visitors within
a few days, or perhaps even within a few hours if you hit it bigJust how does one create 'viral' content, the type of content that creates a media
sensation and causes the “snowball” effect? The snowball effect is essentially what
happens when friends share content, and alert more people to do so, and then
eventually everyone wants to see it because the world starts discussing it. And it has
happened countless times before, whether we’re talking about an adorable baby video,
a great article, a swell interview or even an urban legend that spreads all over the world!
Of course, it’s not so easy to simply create something “viral” and wait for the snowball
effect to happen. Very many pages have been created, sometimes according to the
formula of viral content and with every intention of creating a storm of controversy…but
then they were ignored.
It’s hard to predict what the Internet (and what a million of friends of friends) will find
interesting and what they will deem worthy of sharing. Bear in mind that no one feels
compelled to share anything, just because the content is there. In order for someone to
want to share interesting new content with other people, that person has to emotionally
respond to it.
To some extent, it’s reasonable to say that people want to share “unique content.”
Something that is new and hasn’t been seen a hundred times before does sometimes
get a big reaction. This is precisely why many people choose to create video content in
hopes of branding their image.

hopes of branding their image.

Creating Newsletters
Creating Newsletters
Now comes the tricky part. How do you make such an automated approach to business
SEEM personal? The personal connection is key, yet we insist on using automated
software to save time and money, don’t we? There is a solution.
You can customize your email messages to fit your target audience, to seem personal
and more importantly, to address the customer’s needs.
Your customers are pretty smart, they are not going to think that you are emailing them
personally. It doesn’t really matter if you use a personal name or just a generic title.
What matters to customers is how you make the personal connection and if you
address their shopping needs.In discovering ideas for traffic generation through email, it is essential that you do three
things:
$Arouse the reader’s interest with a great title, one that speaks to his or her
targeted needs;
$ Keep the person reading by making the information focused and of excellent
quality; and
$Direct them to a specific homepage or a landing page on your website to
continue the intimate conversation.
True, your website presentation probably won’t be as informal as your email messages,
especially the 'newsletter', the personal pitch that comes month after month (or
sometimes week after week) advertising the latest news from the company. However,
you should aim for a smooth transition from the familiar email marketing message (the
pitch that arouses and holds interest and then addresses the need) to website sales
(the call to action stage).
Besides directing traffic to your website, it also helps to include a signature or 'author
box' at the end of the message to say a little bit about you as a person and as a businessperson. Avoid using affiliate links in an email, as this could turn off your
audience.
Last but not least, just as you study SEO analytics and social networking metrics, study
the analytics for email. Determine which messages increase traffic and which themes
don’t seem to work. Adjust your campaign accordingly.
Another tip; do not be content with just one avenue of information. Just as with article
marketing, you can actually increase traffic to your website by finding more than one
newsletter to publish your material in. As long as you’re researching the niches and
focusing your content, you can find upwards of 10 or more newsletter sites to post
information.
Up until this point, we have only been discussing the mediums for traffic generation. In
the next chapter, we are not only going to discuss video and audio content production
as a means to produce more traffic, we are also going to discuss the theory behind
'Viral' content. That is, what truly makes people stand up, listen to you and decide that
you have valuable content worth sharing?
Ultimately, producing lots of 'viral' content is the best way to generate an awesome
amount of free traffic. So let’s get to the bottom of this mystery…
