Fortunately, there’s an easier way to get loads of traffic very quickly – and for free. All you have to do is leverage other people’s traffic and resources. Read on to discover ten ways to get other people to send you their traffic…

1. Be a Guest Blogger

Some bloggers solicit guest articles, in which case you can create a blog post and submit it for consideration. However, even those that don’t advertise accepting guest articles may be open to the idea if you give them a reason why they should.

For example, you can:

• Trade articles with the blogger (so that they get to post an article on your blog too).
• Use the blog owner’s affiliates links in your article, so that they make money when their readers buy a product.
• Offer something else attractive in trade, such as an endorsement in your newsletter.

2. Recruit Them to Your Affiliate Program

One quick and easy way to sell more products using other peoples’ traffic is by asking them to join your affiliate program.

If you’re selling digital products, you should offer at least a 50% commission rate to affiliates, and even higher for “super affiliates” (those who can send you a lot of traffic and sales). You may even offer additional perks, such as bonuses or discounts for their customers.

Tip: You can quickly and easily set up an affiliate program for your digital products using Clickbank.com (which is also a payment processor).

3. Trade Blog Links

Instead of trading content, you can trade blog links with other people in your niche (AKA “blogrolling”).

The first benefit is that it’s visible for a long period of time, as usually these links are permanently placed on the front page of the blog.

Secondly, you can also get a search engine optimization benefit if the blog has a high Google Page Rank (and if you use your keywords as the anchor text for your link).

4. Trade Newsletter Articles

If you like the idea of trading content, then consider trading newsletter articles with other people in your niche.

Tip: Look for those who also post their newsletter issues on their blogs, as then you’ll get the benefit of a backlink and ongoing traffic!

5. Co-Promote On Your Download Pages

If you have products or services that are closely related to another marketer’s products, then you may agree to trade product links on your thank you / download pages.

Alternatively, you can ask the marketer to use his affiliate link to point to your product sales page.

Either way, this tends to be responsive traffic, since they’re customers who just bought something (and thus they’re in the buying mood).

6. Swap Links On Your Subscription Confirmation Pages

Another place you can trade links is on your newsletter subscription confirmation pages. You may even agree to trade endorsements in the welcoming emails that you send to your new subscribers.

7. Do Joint Mailings

If you ship physical products, then seek out other marketers who’re selling physical products in your niche. Then ask these people to send out a flyer advertising your products in every shipment they send, and you’ll do the same for them.

Tip: Look on eBay® to find marketers in your niche who’re selling a high volume of physical products.

8. Ask to Interview Them

The biggest marketers in your niche might not be open to some of the other suggestions we’ve talked about so far, such as content swaps (especially if you’re relatively unknown and don’t have a busy blog yet). However, they may be open to you interviewing them, perhaps on a teleseminar. And if so, then they’ll also likely help you advertise the call, which means you get free traffic.

Tip: Be sure to mention your website link on the call, because then you’ll get traffic months or years from now if you distribute the recordings.

9. Co-Write and Promote Articles

Instead of creating a recording with another marketer, you can create an article together.

Example: You can each share five niche tips. Or one of you can share the tips and the other person can write the article.

Either way, you’ll get traffic because your partner will help you distribute the content, perhaps by posting it on his blog and telling his list about it.

10. Create Rebrandable Reports

Finally, you get others to send you traffic by creating rebrandible reports (using a tool like ViralPDF.com). This is where you allow others to change the affiliate links in a report to their affiliate links, so that anyone who distributes the report has the opportunity to make money on the backend.

Summary

You don’t have to invest months of work or thousands of dollars to get traffic – not when you simply leverage other people’s traffic!

Hey Guy’s, What’s up?

It’s been a long time since I had my blog up and running. But it’s about time that changed!

So I’m working on some new content right now, plus I will share with you my own personal successes and failures.

So please keep checking back here or subscribe to my posts.

In the meantime…

I was recently invited to take part in an exclusive 30 day challenge by a Facebook friend of mine called Seth Larrabee.

The challenge is called the “PH Method 30 Day Challenge” and there are only 40 people taking part.

So what the hell is it all about?

Well I can’t say much about the challenge because I had to sign a Non-disclosure agreement. But what I can say is if I don’t successfully complete the challenge before the end of the 30 days I have to suffer a forfeit.

My forfeit if I fail is that I will have to send my prized VW Golf VR6 to the crusher!

This is my prized VR6…

And believe me when I say that I’m fricken committed to NOT losing this challenge, because it’ll break my heart to have my baby crushed.

As part of our commitment to the challenge we all had to create a “Commitment Contract” video. For those of you that don’t know me I’m a very shy person, especially when it comes to talking and being seen on video.

But…

I finally broke through my fear and recorded my first ever video and pledged my commitment to the PH Method Challenge.

My video is below if you’d like to watch it. Please bear in mind that I was crapping my pants so the video is a bit naff lol

But what really matters is that I took action, and that is the key to your own success online.

I promise to be back soon with brand new content, and updates regarding the PH Method Challenge if you’d like to follow my progress.

Take care,

Ben
