How To Boost Your Traffic With an Offline Method
Hey fellow warriors. This is my first post on this forum, and I wanted to share with you one blog-post that I wrote few months ago. I hope that you'll find it useful, and I would like to hear your opinion. Enjoy!
Working in the network marketing business, we somehow lost a feeling that there is some other, "analog" world. A world that doesn't care too much for PPC, PPV, JV, e-mail lists, network marketing etc. But that world also needs traffic.
But, if we target ourselves only to show to network marketers how to get traffic, then we are missing a great opportunity to earn huge amounts of money by showing some companies, agencies or manufactures how to get traffic to their sites, without bombarding them how they can make money promoting our system.
In the world of Google, YouTube and FaceBook marketing we forgot the fact that there is also a world of website/blog owners who also need our networking knowledge, but who doesn't need our "great opportunity". And how we can reach that world? This post is created to show you how you can promote your website/blog, regardless what is it about, all that for free.
As I said before, if we target our products only to network marketers, we are missing a great opportunity. And since we targeted our ads and searches to network marketing world, one of the ways to promote our eBooks, videos or products is so-called Offline marketing.
Yes, yes, I know. It's expensive, not too much effective, blah blah blah. But, that's not completely true.
Of course, if you want TV commercial at 9PM, you will pay it a little fortune.
But there is a way to do a promotion that is free and involves two of my favorite things: new technology and psychology.
I'm talking about QR (Quick Response) codes. And what the QR codes are? QR codes are the same thing as Barcodes, only in 2D. And just like Barcode can contain data about some product, the QR code can contain any info that you like.
It can contain URL address to your website/blog, it can contain some SMS message, text, phone number etc.
And reading the QR code is simple. All you need is a cell phone with the camera and any QR code reader on your phone. All you have to do is to start the QR software and put the camera in front of the QR code. In a few seconds the data in that code will appear in your display. That is the "new technology" part I mentioned before.
The other, much better reason, is psychology. Psychology?
Yes. You see, when we, Homo sapiens, evolved in a modern man, we kept some animal features, and the most important is CURIOSITY! When there is something hidden, we all want that, and only that. Not because we need that, but because it's hidden.
And that is the advantage of QR codes, they hide an information. And when someone knows that there is something hidden in front of their nose, they would like to see what it's about. That's in our nature.
And that is our big chance. This is the way to bring our products closer to the people who are not interested in network marketing, but who need our knowledge.
Oh, yeah. I said that it's free. You can create your QR codes for free, and the website I use to do that is QR-Code Generator website . Just select the type of info that you want to hide, enter the information that you want to hide, and click Generate. Tada, Your QR code picture is ready. They also have a great QR code reader for your phone.
Once you have your QR code, you can post it wherever you want: business card, notebooks, local newspaper, billboards, magazines, t-shirts, and even websites.
Possibilities are endless. Your imagination is your only limit.
I hope that my advice can help you to get more traffic to your website/blog. But, you have only one obligation: Share this knowledge.
