Issue #19: Traffic Generation

Dear <firstname> ,

You may be a bit amazed at how many
different free avenues for marketing that
you have at your fingertips. Many of 
these are easy to use, and take no time 
to begin making the most of. Here are 
some options you want to seriously consider. 

-Joint Venture Partners: Your partner can 
alert everyone on his or her mailing list that
a new membership site has been launched 
and it is well worth taking a look. Your JV 
partner can also be your gateway into connecting
with other marketing resources.

-Affiliate Programs: Affiliates sign up to 
effectively act as your sales force and beat the
bushes for potential members. In return for their
efforts, they receive a commission that comes
 from the revenue that you collect. In order to set
 up a working affiliate program, be prepared to 
create portals that your affiliates can use to direct
people to the site and still get credit for the sale. 

-Search Engine Optimization(SEO) : SEO involves 
making prudent use of keywords and key phrases 
that are likely to make your web pages and 
advertisements rank high on various browser searches.

- Article directories: There are web sites that contain 
articles on every conceivable subject you can imagine.
What you may not know is that many of these sites allow
anyone to create an article on a given subject and publish it.
Once it is published, you have created another page that 
can begin to show up in search engines and ultimately 
direct people back to your site.

- Blogging: Along with article writing and placement, 
contributing to a blog on a regular basis can help move
some traffic to your membership site.

And tons of other methods such as forums, web2.0 sites
viral marketing and the like!

To your profitable membership sites,

“Your Name”
“Your Website Link”
