Build The Path and They Will Come
...... write an extra article and submit it to other
newsletters with the same topic as your own' Most will
include a link to your site in their newsletter (another
path). Many will also publish your article on their site
along with a link to your site (yet another path).
4. Participate in Online Discussion Forums
Join all of the online discussion forums, newsgroups, and
mailing lists you can find in your topic area. Never
discuss your product/service on the discussion forum.
This is considered very bad taste in many forums and
outright spam in other forums. However, if you
participate in these forums by answering questions and
being genuinely helpful, you will be noticed.
Include a link to your site in your signature so that
those who like your advice can drop by for a visit. The
simple link in your signature becomes a new path to your
site every time you help someonw by answering a question.
5. Syndicate Free Content
When you are building content for your site, always offer
it for use on other sites. Simply include a note at the
bottom of your page saying that webmasters are welcome
to copy anything in return for a link to your site.
This might include articles, pictures, scripts, etc.
Encourage others to copy your site as long as they provide
another path to your site.
Be sure to do a little of each of these methods every week
and your site will soon be among the most visited sites in
your topic area.
Someone once said "If you build it, they will come." I
believe that statement to be true. But you can't just
build the best website in the world and expect everyone
to visit tomorrow. You also have to build the paths to
Marketing SalesWhile the vast majority of affiliate programs have compensation plans as straightforward as a flat commission on all referred sales, the ..... get to that website.
If you build those paths, they will come!
