PURCHASING LEADS/RENTING A LIST

PURCHASING LEADS/RENTING A LIST
A powerful way to get in touch with potential customers is to purchase leads or rent a list. There are companies that specialize specifically in lead generation, and then sell those leads off for a price. Depending on the source of the leads, the quality can be either low or high.
If you do consider this route, I would highly suggest testing the leads before making a large purchase. I would also suggest doing your homework and making sure that the company you are buying from is reputable. If the company makes some outrageous claim (for example, if they are selling 1,000 leads for $10), the leads are probably of little or no value. Be careful!

GETTING TRAFFIC FROM AMAZON

GETTING TRAFFIC FROM AMAZON
Amazon is one of the most popular websites out there, and contains a huge amount of people that are looking to spend money on things. This can be a very valuable place to establish yourself as an expert. This is as easy as creating a profile for yourself, and spending time reviewing products in your niche. The idea here is that people in your niche will come to trust your opinion, and follow your recommendations, which would then carry over to products that you are promoting as an affiliate.

UNLEASHING THE POWER OF RESELL RIGHTS

UNLEASHING THE POWER OF RESELL RIGHTS
Creating a product with resell rights can be a great way to create a reputation on the net and build free leads for yourself. The concept here is that you create something of value, and then give or sell it away to others, who then sell your product and keep all of the profits to it.
Though it might sound crazy to give away your rights like this, if done correctly it can be a great way to cover a lot of ground on the net quickly, as others distribute your name for you. The best situation is where you continue to get the email address of everyone that buys your product (even though you aren’t making any money off of it) because then you can grow your list as others do the grunt work for you.

BUYING TEXT LINKS

BUYING TEXT LINKS
Purchasing text links can be a great way to get very powerful backlinks immediately. There are several text link brokers that offer connections to numerous websites in just about any niche you can imagine.
There is concern that the search engines, in particularly Google, penalize websites that buy and sell links. I do not know if there is truth to this rumor, but I would urge you to use caution.
Another option would be to find websites that you would like to get a link from, and approach their webmasters individually, offering to pay them a few bucks for a link. You just might be surprised by how many cheap links you can get this way!

OFFERING INCENTIVES FOR LINKS

OFFERING INCENTIVES FOR LINKS
So what’s better then getting your own backlinks? Having other people link to you on their own, of course! I would strongly suggest doing everything you can to encourage others to link to you. One great way to do this is by offering an incentive.
You can get very creative with this. You could offer to donate to charity if someone links to you, give out free software or gifts, and so forth. You want to do everything you can to encourage others to link to you.

JOINT VENTURES IN YOUR FIELD

JOINT VENTURES IN YOUR FIELD
Participating in joint ventures can be a very profitable thing. A joint venture is when you approach someone in your niche, and agree to promote with them. An example of this would be that you offer their product to your customers, and vice versa. The result is that you both achieve additional sales.
Joint ventures can also be a great way to build a list quite quickly, and can be done with just about anyone that offers products that compliment yours.

DON’T LET YOUR SITE GET STALE

DON’T LET YOUR SITE GET STALE
I am guilty of creating websites and then forgetting about them. Unfortunately this results in both visitors that get bored with your website, and won’t stick around, and also shows the search engines that you are not offering any new content to the internet community.
I would definitely suggest that you do what you can to update your website on a regular basis. I have found that I often have a spike in traffic when I go back and add new content to a site. The search engines love it! Plus nothing is as embarrassing as when you have content on your site that is no longer relevant, you don’t want to hurt your reputation!
