So as the name suggest this module, "Traffic Tornados", which is the 5th coaching module brought to me by Alex Jeffreys, is another module dedicated to driving traffic to your site and quite rightly so as we all know if you have no traffic you’ll get no sales. Theres a million ways to make a million dollars online, but to make a single cent online you need traffic.

To start off Alex gave us an overview of his journey online so far and I must admit theres not many internet marketers who would give such figures of what they’ve made every year online;

2006: Alex Jeffreys learned IM and made $2000
2007: He released first ebook made $115,000
2008: Made $500,000
2009: Alex Jeffreys is projected to make $1000,000

I think you’ll agree what a jump Alex Jeffreys made from 2006 to 2007.

"You can make more friends in 2 months by becoming more interested in other people than you can in 2 years by trying to get people interested in you", Dale Carnegie. This saying is powerful more than u could ever believe. U can make it real big if you apply this technique.

The whole process of internet marketing is simple but its not easy to apply!!

Ok so lets get into the traffic techniques Alex showed us in this module.

Forums: Great place to tap into the traffic stream and pick up JVs, but don’t go there and pimp your stuff. Go in and view the conversation and join where your target market is bam you can quickly cash in. If tell people something they don’t care but if you don’t tell them they become intrigued. When Alex started out he went to forums everyday not anymore, just really to get his signature line there. 

Ezine Articles: Although Alex has only ever written 2 articles himself he’s not proud of that and wishes he wrote more.

One of Alex’s articles has 374 views after about 2 years (which is by no means great). But article marketing which is sometimes known as bum marketing is peowerful stuff for example based on Alex’s article above ;

• If he wrote 100 articles then 100 articles x 374 views = 37,400 views.
• If 25% clicked his link to his squeeze page = 9,350 click throughs.
• If the squeeze page converts (a sale is made) at 40% = 3,740 people added to his list (assuming a free product is given away for list building purposes).

Lets look at it this way you can get articles written for $5 each.
100 articles = $500 = 3,740 people subscribed to your list $3,740 per month income!!

Alex Jeffreys didn’t write 2 articles and quit he levereged. Create value and others will write articles about you.

Blogging: I know this was spoke about in the last module, but Alex has went into this even further in this module. If you go to www.siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com  (I think you may need to sign up, but its free) and type in the website/blog address in the "explore url" field at the top of the page. Then go down to the results area and click on the "inlinks" button and you can not only see the number of links linking to that website but you can see what sites these are and by doing a bit of reverse engineering you can also post your own links to your websites on these sites.  

Press Releases: If you visit, www.prweb.com you can write a press release about a release of a new ebook, a new blog etc. For more press release sites simply do a search in google, type in "list of press release directorys" to see a complete list. Some of the sites are free some are not.

Ebay: Yes the dreaded Ebay, lol. I say that as I have a love hate relationship with them. I found they where good a long time ago but with all their policys in place they can be a pain!! , but as there something like the 19th most visited site on the internet how can you dismiss them.

Traffic Geyser: www.trafficgeyser.com Videos these days rule, if you want to get ranked highly for keywords then this site submits your video to loads of video directories and also makes a podcast of your video. I have joined up to this site and its something like $45 a month. I have yet to do any videos but I know having this weapon at my disposal it should get me loads traffic. You can send the same video out for different keywords. Look out in the near future as I will be giving a review on it.

Twitter: So we are in the new age of internet marketing and social media is the way forward. Before the Alex Jeffreys coaching course I had never used twitter but every internet marketer whos worth their salt is on there, its time to jump on & see what the buzz is about!!

Well what can I say with so many methods to get traffic its time to get to work!!

Until Next Time..

Again would love to hear your comments..
