Consider all the key components:
When these four components come together, they make up the core foundation of any successful internet marketing campaign.
3. Traffic: Five key things to consider for successful traffic generation:
- Website usability: How your users interact with your site can make the difference between a successful campaign and a dismal failure and should never be an afterthought. Is your site easy to use? Is the navigation intuitive? Are products and services easy to find? Does your site use bread crumbs and follow web conventions? For example, people expect links to have blue underlined text; that's why studies show they drive the highest click-throughs!
- Copy: You could have the world’s greatest product for sale, but if you cannot manage to convince your prospect of that and get them to buy, then you’ve failed. Your words are a bridge between you and your prospects, so you need to make them powerful. When developing copy consider the following:
- Create safe communication in your copy so your prospects feel comfortable on your website.
- Create credibility and trust so your prospects believe in your products and want to buy from you.
- Create a feeling of urgency so your prospects are highly motivated to purchase.
- By adding things like graphics, audio and video to your website, you can increase your conversion rate by allowing your prospects to interact with your website. When you add testimonials to the site along with case studies, your conversion rate will also rise. This happens because you are not just making a statement about your product anymore, you are now backing that statement up with hard facts and proof.
- Not all traffic is created equal. Your focus is only on getting highly targeted and market specific traffic that will convert well to sales.
- Leverage all the traffic you get. Capture your visitors’ information for follow-up.
- Focus on at least one traffic strategy and use it as your main method.
- Do something everyday to get traffic to your site. Create a traffic generation plan and stick to it.
- Give people a reason to come back or refer you to a friend. You could have a one-time offer, weekly offers or even affiliate offers.
4. Follow-up Marketing: As any successful marketer will tell you - this is the most important part in making the bulk of your money and is the to additional, recurring, complimentary revenue. Follow up e-mail can be used:
- Immediately after the sale or site launch.
- During the checkout process as an add-on option.
- A special offer or recommendation through follow-up email.
This is why it is very important to capture the names and email of your site visitors and build your email lists. Affiliate products make great backend recommendations so that you don’t need to create your own. You can simply offer affiliate products that give you high commissions, residual income or multi-tier profitability.
