Traffic to their website is one thing that internet marketers can never have enough of. How do you get other people to promote your member ship site and drive traffic to it? There are a number of methods that can be used effectively.
If you have a mailing list of your own, even if it’s small, you can use it to email people and tell them about your membership website. If you know people with similar mailing lists, you can ask them to email their list as a favor to you. Make sure that the mailing lists target the demographic group that you are trying to enroll in your membership site. This method is called direct broadcasting.
You can use a download page offer or exit offer. All membership websites have a download page or membership area that you go to after payment.
On many sites the only thing you can do on the download page is download the item you just purchased. If you are aware of sites like this that are offering products in the same market niche as you, ask them if you can pay to put a link to your site on their download page.
You can also ask them to place your offer as an exit pop-up. When people download the product from the page they will receive your offer before they leave.
If you have an affiliate program you can ask them to provide a link to your website in return for your site providing a link to theirs.
If other sites don’t want to mail for you or place your link on their sites, ask them if they will place an offer for your membership website in their auto-responder follow-up sequence. A follow-up sequence is where customers are sent a series of messages after purchasing an item. Many website operators are unsure of what to put in these messages or lack the time to do it. If you write them a prepared follow-up or sequence of follow-ups it will give them the content that they need with no effort on their part. Offer them an affiliate bonus to make the offer even more attractive.
What would you do if a fellow membership website owner approached you and asked if they could put their content on your site at no cost to you? As long as the content is good and in your market niche it’s a good deal for you.
You can offer the same good deal to other membership site owners. Ask them to include your content in their site for free so you can be associated with them, ride on their credibility and get lots of extra exposure and traffic. This is called a ride along bonus.
You can ask other site owners if you can place half or full page ad in their latest book. You can write it as if it is an informational or educational part of the book because you are not bound by the magazine and newspaper rules that state an advertisement must be identified as such. This is called an imbedded report up-sell and has the benefits of blending your ad in with the websites content and making it look as if they are endorsing your site and products.
There are five ways that you can get other website owners to promote you; by direct broadcast, a download page offer, an auto-responder follow-up, a ride along bonus and by the embedded report up-sell.
