In this Internet marketing strategy guide, I will show you 10 really cool ways on how to attract an enormous flow of visitors to your website.
1. Give out free e-zine subscription
You can offer your visitors a free subscription to your e-zine. Publishing your own e-zine is a very hot trend on the Internet right now, so it is very important for you to stay ahead of the game and give something extra in the form of free subscription. You can offer a free gift or free advertising when your visitors subscribe.
2. Offer free content
Offer your visitors free content. But of course, not every free content can do the trick. Your content must be original and up-to-date, so that it will look more attractive to your visitors. You can add an extra incentive by offering them the option to republish some of your free contents in their e-zines or websites, so that anytime they need fresh content, they will flock to your website to get it.
3. Provide free online directory
Create a free online directory on your website. Make your directory interesting to your visitors by including informative e-books, e-zines, website links, etc. The fact is, if the visitors find that your directory is actually a valuable resource to them, then be rest assured that they will come back to your website again and again.
4. Hand out a free e-book to your visitors
Give out a free e-book to each and everyone of your visitors. You can also include your own ad in the e-book and allow other people to give it away. If you don't have the time or you are simply too lazy to write one, then you can either pay a ghostwriter to write it for you, or ask for permission from other writers to use their articles.
5. Conduct free online courses
You can create a chat room within your website to conduct free online courses. This idea of a live information course will definitely attract curious people to visit your website to see what kind of courses you conduct. And before you know it, you will be known as an expert in your topic of interest.
6. Allow free access to your contest
Tell your visitors that they can enter your contest for free. You will also need to let them know what are the prizes up for grabs, and they should be of some interest or value to them. The visitors who enter your contest will visit your website regularly to check out the results.
7. Offer free software downloads
You can let your visitors download some free software from your website. These software can be in the form of freeware, shareware, demos etc. You can even turn a section of your website into a free software download directory.
8. Provide free online services
Provide your website visitors with free online services. These services can range from search engine submission, to copy writing proof-reading, etc. But do take note that these free services that you are offering should be helpful to your target audience.
9. Provide free consulting
Offer to provide free one-to-one consulting to your website visitors. A very economical way to do this is through email. Your visitors will find this consulting service very valuable and useful, because consultation fees for such one-to-one coaching can be very expensive.
10. Give out free membership to your online club
When visitors come to your website, they would like to see if there is anything that they can belong to. So why not give them free memberships to your online club? As a sweetener, you can always give away a free e-course or free e-zine to your club members only.
