Traffic Building From A Different Perspective

Monday, March 8th, 2010

we all want to make money online but very few of us have the financial resources to do it big time. There are internet marketers out there who will tell you that if you follow their system or sell their product, you can make a five or six figure monthly income. There are a lot of reasons why this isn’t likely.

That’s not to say that some internet marketers don’t make tens of thousands of dollars per month. Some were lucky enough to have gotten in early. They put in the effort needed to get to the number one spot on the search engines. Once there, the good ones continued to invest a healthy share of their profits to make sure they stayed number one. They aren’t going to give that up easily.

What chance have you got against them? No matter what traffic generating or article submission service you subscribe to, they’re doing the same thing, but on a vastly bigger scale. Can you afford ten thousand dollars or more per month just to promote your site? That’s what your competition in these high return niches spend - and more.

You’re like a villager who is facing attack from a huge, well-equipped army. You don’t have a chance if you face them on their own turf. Guerilla warriors win by using whatever they have at their disposal and fighting from the sidelines, not the battle front. Use guerilla tactics to generate targeted traffic.

What’s at your immediate disposal? What do you have that they don’t that you can use to get a share of the money that’s to be made online? Think of anything, including the scrapbook album you and your kids made from scratch.

As laughable as that may sound, it could be your golden calf! People all over the world love making scrapbooks. If you’re good at it and love it, why not share you knowledge and passion with others through an e-book. Find sources for handmade paper and sell that and other supplies online. You have a niche the big guns don’t even know about now.

That alpine skiing equipment in your garage is physical evidence of another passion of yours. You love cross country skiing. Take it out of mothballs, take your camera with you and when you get back, make a video of you and your family reliving your adventure as you make a handmade scrapbook. Post it on your website and elsewhere on the internet. That’s a fantastic way to generate traffic online.

Don’t even try to go head to head against the big guns online. You, like the vast majority of affiliate marketers will just be left in their dust. Find your own niche, one that they don’t even care about. If you’re sharing something you really love, your enthusiasm will show. That, combined with the traffic generating tools that are available online will be your ticket to success.
