"Internet Traffic Formula"

<pulling hair out of head and start of rant>

$997 for a "traffic generation formula" just came out

Okay, I'm sure that Vick has put a lot of time into his training and maybe its good. I don't know, I haven't seen it other than his sales video today so I can't speak to it specifically. BUT ...

1) The "youtube formula" is pretty simple. CREATE VIDEOS. Yeah, that's the actual secret. Create them, and create them, and create them, and keep doing it. I can't remember the dudes name now but some guy did nothing but that for a wine tasting channel and became like some internet marketing super hero. The only thing he did was simply NOT FRIGGEN STOP CREATING WINE TASTING VIDEOS. For something like 3 years he created two or three videos a week. That's it, that's the secret. \

1a) Make your videos on keyphrases, go to fiverr and get a "social signals" package thrown at it and your video will probably rank well for good keyphrases and get your videos even more traffic

1b) Make sure your videos direct people to a good landing page where they can give their name and email address to get even more info. Use phrases like, "when you sign up using the link below I'll explain more about this." Do that a few times each video.

2) Facebook Advertising ... Go "native". In other words have some ads that are in the actual newsfeed stream that go to some ACTUAL CONTENT on your own facebook page. Have a second part of the content that someone gets when they sign up to your list.

2a) edit: Advertising on facebook is substantially cheaper this way when you are trying to leave someone on FB for the ad. So the ad goes to a page which has a video on it with good content. The video is in two parts and its only the first part that is on the FB page. Again, to get the second video you direct them to a sign up form. If the first video is good, CTR to the form is amazingly high.

3) CPA "secrets" ... Go to a CPA network and tell them you want to be a merchant and you'll pay $1 per person that subscribes to your list. The catch is that most CPA networks require a pretty hefty deposit to get started with them and is a bit "out of range" for most people. It's a good strategy though if you can afford it.

4) Media Traffic X (basically banner advertising) ... give me a break. CTR's are dropping like a rock at the same time costs are going up. I've actually HALTED all of my "media buys" in favor of scaling up more facebook "native advertising". (and yeah, by the way tip 2 pretty much sums up Ryan's "native advertising" thing he has)

Should I go on?

Here's an idea that I'd like to give to everyone in this forum.

Instead of blowing $997 why not instead check out this WF forum post: All In One: Traffic Tips right here on the WF for free instead?

Now it's true that those are simply traffic generation ideas and not full blown training on each and every technique.

HOWEVER. I'd wager dollars to donuts that if you simply did a search on each technique right here on the WF (or on youtube) you could probably get detailed training on each traffic generation method.

No cost needed.
