Article Body:

The internet marketers that I have talked to claim the main reason that they don't make money is

because of the lack of traffic coming to their website. Knowing how to generate that traffic is the key to

your long term success. Getting the right amount of traffic requires a lot of work and effort and I don't

think marketers are lazy but I do think some tend to predict the outcome of a marketing campaign

before it even gets started. Having negative expectations can easily kill your results.

When it comes to generating traffic, you have to experiment with different avenues while tweaking and

working on sometimes minor details that could be killing your campaign. I think that most internet

marketers have found when it comes to getting targeted quality traffic, there are no shortcuts. We've all

tried and shortcuts just don't work. Remember the FFA sites and then came the auto posters which

meant that no one was looking at the site. The latest take from the auto posters on FFA sites, were the

auto traffic exchanges and it didn't get much easier than that, except they didn't work. No one was

looking at the sites. Now if no one is actually looking at the site, then who's going to opt in or purchase

a product or service that you might be offering.

Traffic exchanges have their place, maybe for list building or such but not for selling products.

Remember your site is only shown for about 15 seconds then the next site pops up, so who makes a

buying decision in 15 seconds?

Let's talk about the 5 ways of how an internet marketer can generate traffic to your site. I'm sure that

you already know or have heard about these techniques but if you are not using them, it's because you

don't believe that they work. You could have possibly tried a few of these ideas but because of the time

and effort, maybe you didn't have the success that you had expected. Internet marketers that have a

burning desire to make money on the internet are the ones that will take these suggestions and make

them work regardless of the time or cost.

People that come to the internet looking for an easy way to make money would be better served

keeping their 9 to 5 jobs, because making money online does require a lot of work. Writing articles and

posting them to a blog is a good way to get your business started. Choose a niche market that people

are interested in and are actually spending money in. Now with that said, getting Search Engine Traffic is

the next step, so you need to learn about SEO and what it takes to optimize your website, plus optimize

each article that you submit.

One of the easiest ways to get your website noticed is reading and posting important content into

forums that are set up to talk about your websites niche market. Other internet marketers will meet in

forums to discuss different issues about their sites and by contributing; you may generate visitors over

to your site. List building is a technique that marketers have used for years and it still works today. I

read where one internet marketer wrote that she would rather have 3k on a opt in mailing list as

opposed to 3K in a network marketing downline. You can make some serious money with a good opt in

list.

In order to generate free traffic, most cases involve writing, whether it's a blog post, or writing good

sales copy. People will only read it, if they feel that you have something of importance to say. Write

your article and submit it to as many directories as you can because someone who has an Ezines

magazine to send out may be looking for information just like you had sent out to the directories and if

your article is used, it could give you exposure to thousands of dedicated readers.

So if you really want to be an internet marketer, start writing your first article and submit it to as many

article directories as you can find on the internet and once that's done, rinse and repeat until the money

comes flowing in.
