How Do I Get More Traffic to My Site?
(Tip 1 of 5)

by Michael Traveler

*

*

Tip # 1:  Don't advertise ...

*

"Advertising Doesn't Work!" cried the merchant ...

*

I'd heard these words before ... many times over the past 27 years as a professional marketing consultant for small businesses ... more times than I care to admit.

*

    And I was hearing them again ...

*

"No ... I'm not interested!" he said to me and folded his arms and turned away.

*

I didn't blame him. Most of the merchants I spoke to told me horror stories about advertising, describing their hard-earned money being sucked down some awful money-pit into a black hole, never to be seen again ...

*

This merchant's story was no different.

Grab your Reader's Attention

How Do I Get More Traffic to My Site?
(Tip 2 of 5)

by Michael Traveler

*

*

Tip # 2:  Help Your Customer First ... 
If You Want to Help Yourself!

*

He had just added a new product to his inventory that he was very excited about.  The product would save his customers time and money and make their lives easier.  He knew, that once the public saw this new product, everybody would want one. 

*

So, he spent thousands on ads in the local shopper, the newspaper, television, radio, even billboard - the works - promoting a Big Event to be held on Saturday.  The ads bragged about prizes and free give-aways and huge discounts.  The merchant just knew this event would be a great success. 

*

Saturday came and the minutes ticked away into hours and the morning into the afternoon, and the afternoon into evening, but the huge crowds never showed.  A few people wandered in off the street looking for prizes and free stuff, but interest in the new product just never materialized.

*

 The advertising had failed to produce the needed traffic.

*

 I asked the merchant if I could ask him a question. 

*

He was quiet for a few seconds, then said gruffly, "Go ahead ... " 

*

"Why do your customers buy from you?"

* 

He thought for a moment, then answered:  "Because I take care of them ... they can ask me any question and I'll gladly answer them ... they know that I'll go out of my way to make things right ... and they know my products are of the highest quality, not like that junk they sell at the chain stores ... " 

*

"Sounds like you really take care of your customers and if people knew that, they'd buy from you." 

*

"That's right." 

*

"Hmmm ... just wondering ... do you think a coupon that you mail to someone's home can convince a person who's never experienced how helpful and knowledgeable you are that they can depend on you?"

*

"What do you mean?"

* 

"Can someone looking at an ad for three seconds come to believe what your satisfied customers already know ... that they can depend on you to answer their questions, to solve their problems, to be there when you need them?" 

*

"Well, of course, not ... "

*

"Then, why advertise?  Wouldn't your money be better spent actually answering questions for potential new customers, actually showing them first hand that they can depend on you to be there for them?" 

*

"Well ... yeah ... but how do you do that?"

*

How Do I Get More Traffic to My Site?
(Tip 3 of 5)

by Michael Traveler

*

*

Tip # 3: Discover New Ways to Build & Convert Traffic

*

Traditionally, it would be next to impossible to do what I was suggesting. The merchant would either have to wait until a customer actually tried and liked his product or heard about it from a friend or he'd have to give his product away free to a few hundred people (to seed the market and get people talking). To do this would actually cost more than the advertising, just in manpower alone. I could see the confusion in his face.

*

"What if I told you, I could clone you and that it wouldn't cost you a thing for you to talk simultaneously to potentially hundreds of thousands of people and answer their questions?"

*

"I'd say, you were crazy!" he said and laughed.

*

"Normally, I'd say, you were right, but ..."

*

"But what?"

*

I then told him about how the go2Network arms merchants with an arsenal of powerful marketing tools to help them drive new traffic to their door and then amaze potential new customers with their knowledge and extra-ordinary customer service. 

*

Tools that help digitally clone one's knowledge, so that an individual merchant can service hundreds, thousands even tens of thousands of potential new customers at the same time.

* 

Tools that help position an individual as a knowledgeable resource in the potential new customer's mind, so that the consumer comes to depend on this resource and turn to it when they need help. 

*

Tools that help build a solid business relationship with potential new customers.
