If you think getting traffic is tough, that’s because there isn’t a viral component to your business model. If all the traffic has to be generated by you personally, it’s just a matter of time before you give up internet marketing. To truly understand the meaning of viral, look at Facebook. While most people think Facebook is doing the world a favor, by providing a good platform for people to connect, in actual fact, the world is actually doing Facebook a favor, as every Facebook user is a free promoter of Facebook, helping Facebook to expand its user base. Viral components can include many things, from having an affiliate program to providing viral tools. However, the best form of viral component is a system that can easily convert your users into your affiliates, without them having to intentionally promote your website. This means the more they use your product or service to benefit themselves, the more they promote you!
There are numerous strategies to drive traffic to your site. Different things work for different people. Simply find what works for you, scale it up, rinse, and repeat.
I agree with you 100% , but how to get this done is the problem. Knowing is just half the battle the other half is doing it. My thoughts are , if its not viral, its not worth it now a days. Entirely too much work to do it yourself unless you have this one product that has been patented by you or your company, which means you are the only one selling it. Other than that, you get lost in cyberspace...
That makes so much sense, never even thought of that! Sounds like its hard to think of a viral idea though, but once you have it, life will be so much easier!
