Generate Targeted Traffic

As the web grows and changes, there are specific things that nobody seems to discuss about how to reach more people. Would you believe that it actually takes less effort now than before? Realizing simple things about your audience will have you positioned to reach a lot more people.

The first secret is to have interesting conversations. Have conversations with other people in your market, and your prospects. You can do this via your blog by linking to blog posts on other blogs that are interesting to you. Use their ideas to help you create something that your audience would be interested in reading. Post a link to their post inside yours and they get a notice called a “trackback in their comments. Normally, the conversation will start and bring you both more traffic.

A great way to talk to people is Twitter. Find people that talk about what you are doing in your business by using Twitter’s search function. Watch them to see what they do and interact with your prospects. As you talk to people, more people will want to talk to you.

Secret number two is your story. People want to do business with real people, not big brands. What is the reason you sell what you do? Do you have a story related to your why you sell your products? Has anything happened to you in the past that pushed you to do what you do? Your story will bring more sales and better customers. It qualifies people and helps them get to know the real you. The perception of you that your customer takes from what you do is important and some things may be best left unsaid.

Secret number three is remembering to treat your audience like real people. People focus far too much on numbers, conversions, sales statistics, etc… Focus on the fact that your audience are human beings. Is it fun for you to have a window pop up? They may not like it either. Your customer should enjoy the experience of visiting your website, so make that the case. There are two sides to your website, your sales and the experience of the visitor. Always think of both to get better results with the same amount of traffic.

Secret four is relationships. The right business relationships will give you the opportunity to get tons of extra visitors. My email is full of joint venture requests every day. The ones I pay attention to are from people that I know and like. Consider how much easier it is to reach out to a friend and ask for their help. Wouldn’t that work better than sending a spammy email to someone you don’t know?

You should build true relationships with your customers. The better they know you and like you, the more likely they are to buy from you and your company. Do a show on Ustream, respond to people that comment on your blog posts, and deliver content they want to devour and enjoy.

The last secret is to find communities in your niche. Your prospects are already spending time hanging out somewhere online. Find them and join up. Help people and answer any questions they may have and they will begin searching for you in droves. Don’t post offers, just build your reputation by helping people. Before long, you’ll have a happy audience by being part of the community and helping others.
