Let me assure you, there is nothing that feels better than creating your very own information product. It may be a 10-page report on something like “5 Surefire Ways To Get A Date With the Women Of Your Dreams” or a 60-page ebook on “Can’t Miss, 30-Day Dog Training Blueprint” or a recorded and transcribed teleseminar covering “Effortless 27-Day Weight Loss Program For Working Executives” – whatever the title, using the system with Information Entrepreneur’s Success Package will have you with your own product in as little as 6-weeks – from concept to profit.
Ok, so you have your latest product and choose to use Clickbank to help sell your product on the internet, now how do you get traffic to your new web page and begin generating sales, and more importantly, profits!
Clickbank will allow you to process credit card orders right from your own website and even enters your product (after your first few sales) into its Marketplace where 10’s of thousands of hungry affiliates look for hot products to promote – for a small commission you can have them promoting your ebook or infoproduct for you and putting money in your bank account.
But still…there’s that niggly little fact of getting traffic to your website.
What should your first traffic generation steps be?
Ah, this is where the FUN really begins.
1. Start by blogging about your topic and building traffic to your page with links back from your blog to the sales page. You can get started with your own WordPress blog for virtually nothing – perhaps investing $45-$97 in some graphics to make your blog stand out and Google just loves seeing relevant, dynamic content rewarding you with some good rankings on the search engines where millions of people search for products and information everyday.
2. Yes – do some initial advertising. Run some paid Adwords ads to direct traffic and test your page. With a $100 investment over 2-weeks you can get a very good sample of how your website will perform and more important, keywords that will convert so you can target them with free content generation and SEO
3. Begin to write articles and submit them to Ezine Articles – though this will take a few weeks to get accepted these days and take some additional time to begin generating traffic, it is still well worth the effort as a means to getting traffic to your new webpage
4. Go after affiliates proactively. I like to start with a couple until I know my sales page is converting at a decent rate.
Next, go full bore and seek out productive affiliates. Look for high authority sites, blogs, newsletters forums, etc…in your niche. Contact the owner and offer a review copy of your product first – let them see what you have and then approach them about being an affiliate only after you have them hooked on your product (saves a lot of time approaching people with affiliate offers cold)
Be prepared to adjust your website – almost nobody gets things right on the first try. Use the first few weeks to test combinations of ads, website headlines, offer, pricing, and keywords that attract potential buyers. When you find a combination that works, scale it bigger. When you don’t, continue tweaking and try again until you do.
Making money on the internet with your own website and information product is as much science as it is art – by getting early traffic to your site you can make the process of finding the right combination of marketing faster making profitability that much closer for your internet business.
