How to Generate Targeted Web Traffic Using Only Free Methods – Method 1

I’m going to start now with what should be the obvious. A business is a business online or off. What does that mean?

To get your online business running, you are going to have to spend money. So wake up now, and stop the freebie hunting. If your serious about success, then start looking for the right resources to buy first, and as you make more money, add more powerful, high return strategies. If you’re not going to listen, then stop reading this post because you are wasting your time.

This doesn’t mean it has to be all your money, but you will have to spend money. Accept that now, and you will have a successful business a whole lot faster.

That said, the advantage of an online business is that you don’t need massive amounts of money to get started. My business partner and I started with literally nothing. We had no money, no other peoples capital, no homes – we had nothing. So the fact that you don’t have a lot to spend is not a reason to not start a business online.

The beauty of online niche marketing is you can get people to come to you by many free methods and many very low cost methods. Internet traffic is constant and worldwide. There are many ways created every day to capture this traffic for almost nothing.

But here is the bottom line: You can get traffic without taking out your credit card. You will have to spend time doing it. You must have perseverance and determination to generate traffic using free methods. Now, from my perspective, time is money, but if you have no capital resources you must commit the time (i.e. money) up front and be patient so you can generate the return in the end with highly targeted traffic that buys from you.

When the traffic starts flowing, you will feel exhilarated, particularly when you haven’t spent any money. It’s a wonderful thing to see the visitors arrive at your website or blog without out pulling out the credit card all day long.

But before I get into the free traffic methods, I am going to remind you this takes patience. You will get traffic faster by paying for it. That’s a fact. This is a business, and those who pay up front, profit up front. But if you are on a low budget, here are the best ways to get traffic for free or for minimal cost:

• Start a WordPress blog. There is no better website than a WordPress blog website to get traffic coming to you for free. Your blog must be hosted. You must use a good host for your blog. You must get your own domain name. But the traffic will come for free.

Even though Google has it’s own Blogger platform for blogs, the WordPress blog is liked by Google’s search engines and others better than ANY other blogging platform – and the software is free with your domain hosting.

Because of the way the WordPress software works, it literally advertises itself to the search engines atomically. You don’t have to do a thing, and it will be found by the search engines.

This doesn’t mean there aren’t ways for you to enhance this. There are, and WordPress blogs have more free and versatile ways to enhance your traffic flow then any other blogging or website platform.
