Using the right kind of web site on the Traffic Exchanges.
When marketing online you have a very limited time to capture the visitor’s attention in order to make a sale. With Traffic Exchanges you have even less time…often 15 seconds or less to capture the attention. Most exchanges have gone to 10 seconds!
So, now listen to this carefully…
You should NOT be using Traffic Exchanges to make sales.
“Wait a minute! Isn’t that what this online thing is all about? Making money? How can I do that if I don’t make any sales?”
Yes, you’re right.. our end goal is to make money but it is more than a one step process.
Again,you should NOT be using Traffic Exchanges to grab the sale, rather you should be using them to grab the visitor’s email address. Then you’ll follow up with them with your autoresponder, typically in a series that is about 7-10 messages. A simple, clean, fast loading landing page with a compelling headline, and even more compelling bullet points highlighting the benefits of your product/service is often the most successful type of web page for this type of marketing. These pages are called squeeze pages when they also include a simple form for visitors to your page to enter their name and email address.
When those folks enter that information into your form, they go into your autoresponder and become a member of your list. And your list is your own private “collection” of customers. But even more important than creating a list of customers is properly maintaining that last.
How do we do that?
By getting to know them and by letting them get to know you. Say you were in the market for how-to information on growing flowers. Which site is likely to catch your attention first. The one with a generic ebook on gardening with a few bullet points and an order here button or A site, a squeeze page, with a friendly face, some information on that face’s experience with growing flowers and an offer to subscribe to a free newsletter. I personally think, and experience has shown, that the second site wins hands down.
Now if that site were mine.. what just happened? I just met someone who was interested in my niche and I did this by letting them know something about myself. What I looked like, with a picture, what my interests were, why I was qualified to give advice on that interest and hopefully even a little about my personality came through in my writing.
As my list grows I will have a group of subscribers and customers that I know well and that know me. I will be able to recommend products to them based on my experience, and knowledge of the product, and also on what I’ve determined their likes and dislikes to be. As time passes I’ll also be able to channel my ‘flower loving list’ into smaller, more targeted groups. Maybe rose lovers, or gardening without pesticides or even flower arranging.
The saying is true that it is easier to recommend something to a friend then it is to sell something to a stranger. When managed properly, the members of your list can equate to significant long term profits for you. This is completely consistent with Grandma Barchetti’s statement above…because you’d much rather have someone join your list than just get one quick sale from them.
Using this approach will exponentially boost your profits with Traffic Exchanges.
“Indirect Selling”
Most Traffic Exchange users make the error of trying to sell products directly in an exchange. That is a huge mistake. They simply don’t stop and think about their audience.
Surfers clicking furiously along for credits in an exchange are NOT looking for something to buy.
They are trying to sell something… and they are trying to sell it to YOU!
That’s just one reason affiliate sales pages do not convert well in traffic exchanges. Even if you are promoting something they need, what would make them stop surfing long enough to buy it from you?
Aside from competition flooding the market and the split second you have to get a surfer’s attention, the majority of TE advertising is not well targeted.
You are selling the wrong thing at the wrong time in the wrong way!
Listen closely…
The first step toward success with Traffic Exchange marketing is to understand the wants and needs of the market.
What can you offer that will help them reach their goals?
Helping others by providing something they want is the easiest way to create wealth and indirectly creates valuable prospects for your business!
“Target Marketing”
Internet and network marketers often decide to sell something, like pink shoelaces, and then they look for people who want to buy pink shoelaces. Determining who would be most inclined to purchase pink shoelaces is target marketing.
But the approach I use is almost the exact opposite. Instead of finding a product and then defining the market, we are finding a market and then defining the product.
Here we already have an extensive marketplace, Traffic Exchanges. We are simply picking our product based on what they want and need.
The top two products in demand with TE users are:
1. Traffic Tools
2. List Building Tools
The first one is obvious. I can’t imagine why anyone would be surfing in a traffic exchange unless they want traffic… and more is always better.
The second product category is something most experienced marketers want, and every marketer needs.
You have heard a thousand times that…
“The MONEY is in the LIST“
In reality, that statement is only partially true. The money is not in the list… it’s in the pockets of real people on the list!
Building a list does not guarantee success. It is simply a starting point because it allows you to develop relationships and trust necessary for conversions.
When you generate your own “list” of leads, you have a group of prospects who are getting to know you and are interested in what you have to offer. They have asked you for information.
Simply provide recommendations you honestly feel are in their best interest. If they believe a suggestion is suited to them… bingo! You have a deal… or conversion.
It’s a win-win situation.
It’s not about you and your wants. It’s about them and what they want.
If you have no sales skills and are looking for something that “sells itself,” then you absolutely must consider what the market wants. Offer a product or service they desperately want and need.
