Paying for your traffic smart? You betcha!

Paying for your traffic smart? You betcha!
You've heard about it everywhere. People becoming
successful on the internet. The bad news is that there are
10 times that amount or even more that contradict that.
There will be a ton of new marketers hitting the net in the
next here, however only a slim few will actually succeed.

Is it luck? Did they just happen to be in the right spot at
the right time? Hardly. Like any business venture it take
work and dedication. Period! And the majority of this is
powered by the determination to succeed. Not by sitting
around and "hoping" someone will click on their link. And
yes, it does, on occasion, take a little cash. (I have
found that its usually less than $50).

So what is it?

To answer that, its like the highlander, ".. there can be
only one" answer. TRAFFIC. No traffic. No sale. This
solution is not limited to the internet business only,
actually any business without traffic would fall under.
Ever see a "dead" McDonalds??

But keep in mind, even though you may have a popular
product. And you DO have the traffic, NOT EVERYONE will
stop in and buy. But, to raise that percentage of buyers,
you need many people to come in. the common rule of thumb
for any business is that 1% of ANY group, will buy what you
have. So, what 1% of 0. duh! I think you get the piture.

How do you get this traffic. Many internet business's
generate tens of thousands of hits per day. And of those
it is recorded about 10%-15% buy, but that small percentage
on a large crowd say 5,000 is a lot of money (say 5,000
people and 10% buy a product at $19.99 thats $9k / DAY!!!
At first glance a 500 buyer out of 5,000 doesn't seem much,
but look at the numbers. But lets look at the 1% rule. 50
people out of 5000 buying a $19.99 product is still
$900/day. Anyone making THAT at their 9-5 job?.).

Many of these people pay for their traffic. Yup, you have
to spend a little to make a little. Its all about
advertising. The more people know about your program, the
bigger the pool you'll have for your 1% buyers. And even
though thats common sense, you dont see many people doing
it.

While there are many places out there in the internet that
can provide traffic for free, its not the quality traffic
that you see sites getting like google, and yahoo.

Search engines are free. People use them to find just about
anything. Advertisers know this and are wiling to pay big
bucks to have their product advertised on a site that has a
constant flow of 10's of thousands of people a minute
searching. The 1% rule comes in handy here. Because if
someone is looking on a book on how to knit, most of the
time they'll find what they want on the first search, and
if you have a product that will show up on the first page
as advertising, 1% MIGHT click on you, instead of their
intended link.

When you pay for your advertisment, its like paying for
your traffic. At first glance, sounds dumb, however if you
use the right strategy and budget what your selling,you
could have customers flocking to your site and exceeding
what the advertisment cost in the first place.

So pay for your traffic. It will pay for itself.
