Cool Ways To Attract People To Your Web Site
It's obvious that getting people to visit your website is the first problem facing anyone trying to do business on the Internet. Here are a few ways that have proven to be valuable traffic generators.
1. Give people a free subscription to your ezine. Almost everyone is publishing a ezine nowadays so it's important to give something extra with the free subscription. You could offer a free gift or advertising when people subscribe.
2. Provide your visitors with free content. Your content will be more attractive to your visitors if it's up-to-date or original. You could also offer people the option to reprint the content in their ezine or web site.
3. Offer a free online directory. The directory could be full of interesting ebooks, ezines, web sites etc. If people find your directory to be a valuable resource they will visit it over and over.
4. Give your visitors a free ebook. You could also include your own ad in the ebook and allow other people to give it away. Make it brandable. If you don't want to take the time to write one, you could ask other writers permission to use their articles.
5. Hold free online classes or seminars. They could be held in your web site's forum. The idea of "live" information will definitely entice people to visit your web site. You will become known as an expert on the topic.
6. Give visitors a free entry into your contest or
sweepstakes. The prizes should be something of interest or value to your visitors. Most people who enter will continually revisit your web site to get the results.
7. Let visitors download free software. It could be freeware, shareware, demos etc. You could even turn part of your site into a free software directory. If you created the software, include your ad inside and let other people give it away on their websites for free. You could also make the ebook brandable and charge a small fee for the branding as an extra income source.
8. Offer free online services or utilities from your web site. They could be search engine submitting, copy writing, proofreading etc. The service or utility should be helpful to your target audience.
9. Give free consulting to people who visit your web site. You could offer your knowledge via email or by telephone. People will consider this a huge value because consulting fees can be very expensive.
10. Give your visitors a free membership to your online club. People want to belong to something, why not your online club. You could also give away a free e-zine for club members only.
