The lifeblood of your website (or of your marketing efforts) is the targeted traffic to your product. When you write blog posts, ezine articles, and ezine reports, you can also post them on your website and other places on the web, like Facebook and LinkedIn. In this way, you are putting breadcrumbs on the Internet, a pathway to your site/product.

By locating online publications that are already targeting your target customers and putting your free guest posts, articles, or reports with them, you’re mining a pool of prospects that are already leaning in your direction.

This way, you’ll find your pipeline of prospects and get into a pipeline of prospects who are already there, rather than using a scattered approach to find those who already have an interest in what you have to offer.

When using article writing for targeted traffic, you’ll want to try to write a minimum of 2 articles per week, at least 300-600 words in length, but if you could squeeze in 4-5 articles per week consistently, you’d end up with over 208 to 260 articles of fresh information in just one year.

And if you put those articles on, say, just 3 three sites like ezine sites, a Facebook page, or LinkedIn, within a year you’ll have your presence in more than 700 internet locations.

By writing consistently every week and keeping your articles producing, you can generate up to 100 targeted readers for your site in one day. Perhaps more so if you provide information that is really valuable to your prospect.

Other sources of targeted traffic you might like to include in your marketing arsenal:

interest (where you create ‘pins’ that link to your affiliate site or product),

Search Engine Optimization (that you will make part of any written articles, web pages, blog posts, etc. so that people who search for your content will find it),

Facebook (putting “like” and “share” buttons on your site, linking posts on your Facebook page to your site, Facebook ads, etc.)

Twitter (a micro blog platform that allows 140 characters, you can put a twitter button on your site to get traffic from twitter)

your own blog (Having your blog is one of the best ways to get constant web traffic, plus you can put your articles on your blog as posts, as well as on your Facebook page and ezine sites)

marketing forums (get involved in forums surrounding your niche, google “your niche” forum – “weight loss forum” or “golf forum” for example and get involved by answering questions, there are other considerations like making sure they allow your link on your profile for them, but we’ll go into more at a later time.

These are just a few of the many sources of traffic for your website/affiliate marketing that are also covered at https://JosephsMarketing.com/traffic.

Keep in mind that statistically you should expect only 1 in 100 people to buy your product or service. If with your email sequences and writing articles and guest blog posts, Pinterest and Facebook efforts, etc., you can generate, say, 1,000 targeted visits to your website per day, you could expect to get more than 10 sales per day And all with traffic that costs you just a few hours a week.
