Forum Marketing/Signature Posting...
The Forum marketing concept is a
simple one. You place
links directed to your website URL underneath each post you make and
they will be clicked on by people browsing through a forum thus
generating you traffic.
This technique is extremely
beneficial as it'll supply you with continuous visitors and profits for as long as
the internet exists.
You can read
more about the benefits of forum marketing here:
http://www.bloggingtips.com/2007/04/23/the-power-of-the-forum-signature/
So Here's What
You Do...
1. Choose a
'signature' from the list below,
2. Sign up for
an account in each of the forums I've listed.
3. Locate your 'profile' page,
then locate the 'signature
section'
4. Add the code
in the text box underneath whichever
signature you have chosen.
...Then make 10
posts (that add value) every week, varying between the
following high traffic forums:
http://www.healthboards.com/
www.ehealthforum.com
http://forums.menshealth.com
www.steadyhealth.com
www.healthforums.co.uk
www.diettalk.com
http://forums.dietpower.com
www.3fatchicks.com/forum
www.minimins.com
www.featherish.com
PLEASE NOTE: Remember
to change the xxxxx to your Clickbank ID.

Article Marketing...
Article Marketing is another
beneficial technique as it will also supply you with on-going
traffic for an action you take just one time.
In fact, some articles I've written
in the past still make me between $500 and $1000 per month so
evidently it's very
worthwhile.
Here's a
great free book you can read on effective article marketing.
Click
here
So Here's What
You Do...
Write between 3 and 5 articles each
week that relate either to 'weight loss', 'fat loss' or 'health and
dieting' and submit them to these 2 high traffic directories:
Ezinearticles.com - www.ezinearticles.com
GoArticles.com - www.goarticles.com
PLEASE NOTE: If you don't
want to write the articles yourself, you can get unique and extremely high quality articles written for
just $5.00
each at Need-AN-Article
(a truly amazing service) You

Safelists And Ads...
Most people tend to be slightly disparaging about
'safelists'
but in my experience they can work well, if you know which ones to
use. I've
tried hundreds of them (and wasted thousands of dollars in the
process!) and the only two that have actually worked
for me are these...
TopSurfer
IPostAd
(Recommended also by Mike Filsaime)
You can read more about the benefits of safe lists here:
http://www.realworldtactics.com/are-safelists-safe.html
So
Here's What You Do...
Do 1 Solo Ad blast per month at
each of the above websites.
You do have to pay a small amount to get your ad blasted
out to their entire opt-in database (around 3,250,000 people) so it's up to you.
I can't promise anything but I'd say it's certainly worth a go just
once. If it works for you...repeat.
IMPORTANT: If you do decide to do this, be
sure to create a
new email account to sign up with as this'll mean you won't get peppered
with ads yourself. (create a gmail
account as they won't accept hotmail or yahoo
email accounts)
...And here's the text you should use in your solo ads: |

Instant
Buzz...
Instant Buzz, created by Mike Filsaime, allows you to drive free targeted
traffic to your website just by doing what you do anyway; surfing the web.
It's a free set it and forget it tool and
will bring you in a decent amount of traffic over time.
So Here's What You
Do...
Firstly sign up here:
www.instantbuzz.com
Submit just one text ad (choose one from
the forum marketing section), include your affiliate link and just let
it run.
Scribd.com...
Not many people seem to use
www.Scribd.com for marketing
purposes but I've found it to be a highly effective way of generating traffic and dominating the top ten Google
results for relevant search terms.
It works in the same way as article
marketing and to make it work well for you just follow the same methodology as laid out in the
free bum marketing ebook I linked to in the
article marketing section.
Here's What You
Do...
1. As I've said, read the Bum Marketing ebook again and apply the exact same methodology.
2. Write an article on dieting/weightloss/fatloss and include
your affiliate link at the foot of the content.
3. Create an account with Scribd and
upload it in a word processor format (such as Microsoft Word).
Then carry on writing between 3 and 5 articles per
week following the same process. This will bring you a decent level of
traffic.
PLEASE NOTE: Do not blatantly
advertise your affiliate link within the content of the articles you submit to Scribd.com. If you do they'll ban you! Simply write your articles and include a link to your website
at the bottom of each.
As I said a moment ago, if you don't want to write the
articles yourself, get unique high quality articles written
for just $5.00 at
Need-An-Article
Press
Releases...
An Optimized Press Release can instantly
get you into the top search results on news search engine websites
such as Google News or Yahoo News and across the Internet on more
traditional search engine websites.
So Here's What You Do...
Write
a press release basing it around the review written further up the page. You can
learn how to compose a press release here:
http://www.ereleases.com/howtowrite.html .
I haven't provided any press
release templates because if hundreds of people submit the same content
it'll look like spam. Take a look at these examples all written to promote
Clickbank services:
http://www.newspad.com/all?q=clickbank&hitsPerPage=20
Then...
Submit
one PressRelease a week for free at
www.PRleap.com
Submit one paid press release per month at
www.PRweb.com
...and watch the traffic pour in.
On a side
note you can get full press releases written for around $15 each at Need-An-Article
(I'm sure you can tell I love this service by now!!)

Generating Traffic With Web 2.0 Websites...
Web 2.0 websites are becoming increasingly popular as a method of generating
traffic and are an extremely good way of getting free exposure as well as
top 10 search engine rankings for free.
I personally employ someone specifically to crank out pages
within the most popular sites every single day.
But
here's my little trick for even more exposure...
After I've created a new page within each
Web 2.0 site, I then use an
amazing tool called Unique
Article Wizard to create multiple and more importantly *unique* backlinks
to the exact URL of the page I created making the anchor text the precise
search term I want to rank for in the search engines.
(Anchor text definition:
http://www.web1marketing.com/glossary.php?term=Anchor+Text )
Web 2.0 pages usually rank pretty well as
it is, but my individual pages get blasted up search engine results even
faster and
consequently I rake in huge amounts of traffic. Crafty stuff... and I
believe I'm the only person who does this.
So
what is Unique Article Wizard?
Well, what happens is that you submit a single
article to the system and it automatically creates hundreds of different variations of the
content and then posts a unique version to hundreds of directories instantly.
...And as you may know Google values
incoming links from unique content far higher than from duplicate content...
ie. if you simply submitted the
exact same article to multiple
directories.
I simply can't describe how powerful and
effective this technique is.
Unfortunately I'm unable to tell you
precisely how the Unique Article Wizard system works because they make you sign a non-disclosure document
when you join that forbids
you from telling others how it operates. Seriously!
So all I say is this.... It's both legal and genial!
However, having said all this, it
isn't imperative
that you use this service at all to promote your web 2.0 sites...it just helps... ALOT.
So Here's What You
Do...
Ok... here are the Web 2.0 sites I use...Obviously there are hundreds of
them about now with more popping up every day; but I've found the following 3 generate the most amount of traffic.
Squidoo..
- Create 1 new 'lens' every month
Hubpages -
Create 2 new 'hubs' every month
Zimbio
- Create 1 new 'wikizine' every month
To drive traffic through to the FAT FREE
FAST website via your affiliate link,
create new pages within each Web 2.0 site and fill them will content about
'weightloss/dieting/fatloss' ...then link
back to the website via your affiliate link from within this content 2 or 3 times.
In terms of creating the content, obviously the more unique it is, the
more you'll benefit and if you don't want to do this yourself, again use
Need-An-Article.
If you need instructions on how to create pages
within each of these sites, take a look at these links:
Squidoo -
http://www.squidoo.com/creating-lenses
Hubpages -
http://www.pureblogic.com/Part-1-How-To-Build-A-HubPage-How-To-Make-Money-With-Your-HubPages
Zimbio.com -
http://www.zimbio.com/company/help
then....
Once you've created each page, social
bookmark it for even more exposure using...
Delicious,
Facebook,
Digg,
Stumbleupon,
Furl,
Propeller
Adwords
& Pay Per Click...
Obviously Pay Per Click advertising costs
money but you'll get instant traffic and it'll certainly be worth it,
especially if you do a little keyword research and find those ultra cheap 5c - 10c keywords.
Here are some free video tutorials on
Adwords from Google:
http://www.google.com/adwords/learningcenter/index.html
If you want to take your
Adwords campaigns to the next level, I highly recommend a program called
Speed PPC. I
simply cannot live without it and have boosted my profits 5 fold since I
started using the software. It is genial.
So here's What You
Do...
Ok, if you've never used Adwords before,
watch the videos and then sign up here
for an account.
Then you can get started...
The Website
will convert best using fatloss/weightloss/dieting related keywords
and I have some that'll start you off below:
|
| |
'Fat Loss'
Keywords.... |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
'Weight Loss'
Keywords... |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
'Dieting' Keywords... |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
'Lose Weight' Keywords... |
|
|
|
| |
|
Obviously you can use the exact variations
that I've given you but what I would also recommend doing is creating
extended variations of each one to really pluck
out those 5c - 10c keywords that no-on else is bidding on.
So what do I mean...?
Well, for the keyword 'ways to lose weight'
for instance, simply take the original phrase and then add other words around
it...
Such as...
"best ways to
lose weight"
"recommended ways to
lose weight"
"ways to lose weight
online"
...and so on. Also use broad, phrase and exact matches
of each keyword aswell.
If you do this, you should be able to find very low cost keywords with
little or no competition.
Ok, so come up with some variations and go ahead and bid on them...but make sure you set a realistic 'daily spend
budget' which you can do in the 'edit campaign
settings' section of your Adwords account.
...and also try
using the exact same keywords within
Yahoo search marketing and
MSN ppc for even cheaper
clicks.
Here are a some
ads you can use in your PPC campaigns...
