T.E.A.M Method In IM Marketing Will Increase Traffic

6 replies
One of the techniques I use to drive traffic to a website is to offer other marketers the opportunity to list their product on my various websites. The only catch is it must be related to the theme of the website. For example, if you were selling a digital scale or an ebook on medical marijuana, you can advertise on PotGuy.com on the "cool Sites" page.

That site would be more likely to produce sales for you than advertising on another site not related. If more people realized the power of networking this way, everyone would earn more money. The old saying "TEAM is Together Everyone Achieves More".

Start searching for websites in your niche and recommend they put up a "Cool Websites" link on their page and start experiencing the TEAM marketing concept.

You could do this with a simple splash page. Let the owner of the site know you will begin telling your subscribers all about their website. Everyone loves new targeted traffic.

I used the same concept in offline marketing of my services long before the internet. I was a massage therapist in my early years. While everyone else was contacting Chiropractors and giving them their business cards for referrals, I contacted Chiropractors and told them I was a new therapist in the area and I did not have a good Chiropractor to refer my clients to. I made an appointment to meet with them over lunch (they usually picked up the tab) and got to know them and in turn they got to know me. They were happy to work with me since I approached them from the "I need to send my clients to someone" attitude rather than I need some clients.

Trust me this works.

Within 30 days, I had to hire a staff of therapists to cover just the referral work. Imagine what that attitude will do to Online Marketing?

    Proapc,

    This is a very good concept. I'm just starting my offline marketing/consulting business and chiropractors are at the top of my prospecting list. However, considering your concept, I may need to add massage therapists as prospects and devise a plan to partner them with one of my chiropractors.

    How did you structure your fee or commission from the referrals and leads you generated for the chiropractor?

    Blog owners do this regularly, when I was starting a blog once I was already friends with one of the best known in that niche and asked her advice and for tips and hints, she had absolutely no problem with posting about me and how I had come onto the scene...

    Separate blogs and websites get a small amount of traffic since it tends to be hit and miss, if 10-30 blogs all link to each other then if one gets a visit then a few others do too...

    Networking is great if you can do it correctly

    That's an interesting concept. I'll take a look into that.

    Thing is, blog writers have known about this forever, they are not generally running their site professionally and cannot afford and know they cannot capture everyone...if you have 10 separate sites with 20 readers per day and they are not connected, those readers might go off somewhere else once finished, link those blogs together and you have potentially 200 readers for each one

    And against popular myth they don't lose money, they tend to make more because with more people coming and finding it they then go off and tell their friends in a perfect world...
