Free Videos on Driving Targeted Traffic to Your Web Site

You’ve heard me quote often from publishing industry expert Michael Cader: “The Internet was designed for us [publishers and authors]. We couldn’t have made something any better, and I think precious few publishers have taken aggressive advantage of all the ways in which a good Internet strategy can spread the world about their products, bring them closer to their customers, and help them drive sales. Every publisher [I would add, author] should be thinking of their digital strategy as really beginning with the Internet, and branching out from there.”
Okay, so we know that we authors could probably be doing better with this amazing tool called the Internet. But where does an author or would-be author start?
I’ve studied this medium intensely for 4 years at least, seeking out the best Internet marketers (not the hucksters and hypesters, but the ones who actually understand this unique medium and know how to harness it).
From Ken McCarthy, Jimmy D. Brown, and Seth Godin I learned that Internet marketing is a system. It comes down to four things:
1. having something to offer that people online really want (not need, but want).
2. driving targeted traffic to your website.
3. getting those people to begin a relationship with you (through giving your their name and email address).
4. developing that relationship so that people become fans that tell others about how wonderful you are.
Other mentors have taught me how to excel at different pieces of the puzzle.
One person that has taught me lots about aspects 2–Traffic generation–is John Reese.
Reese is considered, hands down, THE traffic expert. Traffic Secrets 1 course sold, if memory serves me, $1 million in 24 hours. (I still remember that amazing sales letter. It was more than a sales letter–in it he shared life strategies I still use.)
John Reese has just released some videos containing new strategies he’s learned and tested in the past 4 years since Traffic Secrets 1.0.
Yes, it’s a preview for his new Traffic Secrets 2.0 course. But the videos themselves (like that letter I remember 4 years later) are full of great information you can use right now.
Take a peek. There are three of them. Start here. Enjoy!

But the reality is that internet marketing and any other marketing for that matter, is the life blood of any business. But your advantage on the internet is huge, cause of the low cost and ease. (you can do it yourself) But you still have to work hard and put time into it, and this is the problem, no one wants to work….and we all know that nothing is for free in this world. (usually)
Actually, I’m wrong, there’s tons of stuff for free on the internet, and you can also get a ton of traffic to your site for free, if you know how to play the game, work hard, and know how to market yourself.
There’s tons of tricks and tips and I try to learn one everyday.

You’re to be commended for trying to learn one new tip every day. Yes, there’s much to learn. Even if it’s free, it still takes WORK to learn and then implement it all.
Nothing in life is truly free, but we get out what we put in….
