If you don't have a good product you will not see growth on your website So you may want to assess your products What do you have out there that is good for the market and since we're talking about market now Is there a big enough market for that product that you're selling now? The good news is if there's not a big enough market You can add more products to your website and that may be one of the solutions that you're looking for now Once you determine that you may want to look at things like is there a compelling story behind my product now? I own a company called survival cave food, and we sell canned meats and survival foods And there's a compelling story behind that and I know within the past year when we had the illness Everybody wanted survival food. They all needed survival food pretty compelling I actually even wrote a book about that you can find it on Amazon the great American food shortage and it talks about how these Illnesses these wars these civil unrest all these different things can cause food shortages So that's my compelling story behind it and the next thing you want to look at is there a low-cost way to reach your audience? That's always the key is low cost will it work on social media? Can you post on Twitter on Facebook on Instagram? Is there a way to get to your audience and provide them with good content and then sell them your product? So in this video in the next one I'm going to provide you with 20 awesome ways that you can drive Traffic to your site and this is simple things that anybody can do So we want to look at each one effort time cost and traffic potential Okay, how much effort are you going to have to put into each one of these you have to decide that? How much time is it going to take you to do these things? And if there's a cost associated how much cost is going to be associated with these different methods? And also the results how much results can you get out of each one of these methods? You're going to have to weigh all these things out as you make those decisions The first thing is Facebook ads Facebook ads is a short-term way to build traffic It doesn't require a whole lot of effort, but I will tell you there is a cost involved Okay, they can be very expensive, but if you want some quick results and get people to your website It's a great way to start there are 2.6 billion people that visit Facebook every single day Now with Facebook's dynamic advertising You can actually serve ads up to people who've already visited your website and Retarget these people and you'll get a whole lot better results by doing that. The next thing is Instagram ads Instagram ads also is low effort and It generally gets results pretty quickly within a matter of days. There is a cost involved Okay, so you have to look at that cost thing once again, but the results can be quite good It's also a great platform to build brand loyalty It's been found that 90% of the people on Instagram actually follow businesses So you can build an audience there and you can get traffic to your website next one number three is Pinterest ads Once again, it's going to get you result within probably days and it doesn't require a lot of effort But there is a cost involved now here's an interesting thing about Pinterest 72% of the people say that they look on Pinterest to make their next purchase They use that as a guide now if you've got a niche like home decor or DIY or anything that is really niched down for the home or individuals Hairstyling that type of thing makeup that type of thing. It's a great platform to post on Pinterest and to run ads on Number four is Google ads Google ads are awesome. They don't take much time to do. They don't take that much effort However, they're more on the expensive end But keep in mind the results from Google ads can be huge if done properly now when thinking about Google think about this It's been found that 35% of the people that searched a product on Google will buy it within three days Pretty interesting stuff. So if you're out there, you're advertising to those people searching for those products You'll probably get that business now. Let's look at number five number five is get friends and family to share your post Now this is going to take a little bit more effort to do and this is not going to happen in days This could be weeks or months to see the results out of it However, the cost is almost nothing just the effort that you have to put into it launching a business this way or getting traffic This way is certainly a lot more effort But I want you to think of all your resources think of your friends your family Maybe other groups you're a member of other types of social media you can post on There's a lot of different social medias there They can make you a lot of money if you put forth the effort and the cost is very low This is for somebody who has the time, but they don't necessarily have the money to invest Number six is proactively engage on twitter. So you can communicate with people on twitter, right? You can comment on their post. You can direct message people There's all kinds of things you can do on twitter and once again, it's going to take more effort However, it's a great way to build an audience if you build your audience in advance Let's say you're talking about cooking and you're going to open a cooking website And you can engage with all these people who are interested in cooking and recipes and that type of thing By the time you actually open your website, you're already going to have an audience Now I will tell you if you're trying to engage on twitter, what you want to do is search Words that have to do with your niche Find people out there that are looking for answers and help them out The best way you can build an audience is going out and actually helping people get what they need And twitter is a great place to do that. There are additional tools you can use to search on twitter And you can google those and find those tools too Number seven post your store to reddit This is a relatively inexpensive thing to do. Matter of fact, it's free And once you post it to reddit, you can get some pretty darn good results pretty fast Now you won't see the traffic growth you would see from running ads However, posting on reddit can really help you out You can get into forums and sub forums and actually drill down to what your audience is and build that audience for your website For example, the thread entrepreneur subreddit has about 739,000 subscribers and lots of interesting tips and discussions on starting a business So check it out. That's a great place to build your audience And what you need to do is create a nice headline and make sure you have a good headline in there Make sure you add value and be very concise in what you post in reddit And then all you got to do is add a photo and a link to your most popular products and you're off and running Now I will say you'll want to pay attention to the reddit guideline and make sure you're not violating any of their terms or service Or you could lose your account pretty quickly Number eight is run a survey or a contest and we've done this in the past and it works really well Having people involved in a particular product trying to win the product that you're actually selling As they enter you can actually put them on your list and email them What we did is we would run a contest and somebody obviously would win the contest And then those people who didn't win the contest We would send them a coupon or a discount for that very same product that they were trying to win Hey, we know they're interested in number nine offer time sensitive discounts Now this is going to cost you some money because you're going to have to spend it on emailing or Advertising or whatever it may be But if you have a time sensitive Product um something that you know after three days, it's going to be gone This can really increase your chances of getting more people to your website They'll see the value because of the urgency of the product and the fact that it may run out or disappear altogether Now you could tie this Discount to a particular day Let's say father's day or mother's day or christmas or whatever it may be Or you can just set up your own time discount But having one of these time discounts really does help now I've given you nine ways to do this But I've got 11 more and I want to share all those with you in video two Below in the description, you're going to see a link to video two I highly suggest you go to video two and watch the other 11 ones I think the 19th one is really going to surprise you when you get to that one But you tell me in the comments below now Have you already done some of these things or Or some of these things something that you want to try put your comments below Do you have questions about starting running and growing your online business?
