Super Epic Traffic Building Technique (Perhaps comparable to Joint Ventures, and certainly easier
1) Build a really awesome product one would be willing to sell for 15-20 bucks.
2) Take said product to all major forums of the niche and offer it for FREE with NO OPT IN.......but only for a WEEK. Promise to charge $20 bucks at the end of the week, no exceptions. If they missed it, they missed it.
3) Heres the good part.... require everyone to post something like "count me in!" before you PM them the link. Then you individually message them the link to download it. So, this keeps your post extremely high on the board for all seven days, because everyone is posting in the thread.
4) Once you provide the link to product, make it go to a page with the opt-in form prominently displayed. Then give them the super epic product for free.
5) Within the super epic free product, basically tell them their knowledge of the subject matter is going to be incomplete unless they opt in......So obviously, since your making a sellable product, it's gonna have some legit content in it so you gotta make sure that the info they get when they opt in is also valuable but not exactly the same.
6) FOLLOW THROUGH! No matter how much people wimper whine and cry to get it free, once the seven days is up, it's up!
Ok i really hyped that idea a lot. Lol. So I have some questions......
-Would this be considered spam on a forum??? I would hope not since its free, and the traffic is generated by others???
-Do all forums rank by views/number of posts?
-do most forums have limitations on the number of PM's you can send? i guess once it got ranked high enough long enough you would just post the link?? maybe at the very end if u didn't get to everyone?
-Would this actually work?????
I plan to actually do this if it's feasible without getting blamed for spam. I guess now that I think of it (didn't think of it earlier) it's basically the equivalent of offering free WSO's except on other forums in different niches. The caveats being there is a deadline, they have to post to build traffic, and you charge for it later, increasing the perceived value.
