:: Copywriting and Direct Marketing ::

There is one hard and fast rule in creating income for your website: a steady flow of website traffic. If no one goes to your site, it barely runs a chance of generating an income. Many websites have tried and failed in doing so, and this results to the web site’s demise. It requires cash to sustain an income-generating website; it also takes money to make money.

BUT, it doesn’t take a whole shed-load of money to generate website visitors for your web site.

Have you ever wondered how big hit sites steer visitors to their web site? Most of them spend heaps of money to drive traffic to their sites, investing in many advertising campaigns and other types of promotion systems and trickery.

You don’t need to do this if you don’t have their resources. There are a lot of other methods to create low cost website visitors without having to spend what you don’t have or can’t afford. Many people have banked on high cost methods and have ended up losing their shirt over it.

Here I want to show you to you the top five ways to create low cost website visitors that can help your website a whole lot. Even if you only turn a minute percentage of visitors into clients, it still works, particularly if you get a high number of website traffic.

1] Exchange Links

This is a guaranteed and established technique. Rarely would you see a site where there is no link to another web site. Lots of webmasters are eager to swap links with one another so that they can create more public awareness of their sites. You’ll soon notice and feel the sudden increase of traffic coming to your website from other websites.

A major prerequisite in swapping links with other websites is being in the same niche or content as the other web site. They should share a common subject matter so that there is continuity in the provision of service and information that interests your target traffic.

Exchanging links also increases your chances of getting a high ranking in search engine results. It is common knowledge that search engines rank sites high that have inbound and outbound theme-related links. With a good ranking position in the search engines, you will generate more visitors to your website without high costs.

2] Traffic Exchanges

This is like exchanging links but on a different level. This will take a lot more work than exchanging or trading links but can be cheaper because you earn credits.

People look at someone else’s website, in exchange for someone viewing yours. You both benefit from each others efforts to generate visitors. The other site’s visitors can go to your pages and know more about your website as well as their own. Once again public awareness of your site’s existence is boosted.

3] Write and Submit Articles

There are lots of e-zines and online encyclopedias on the Internet which provide free space for articles to be submitted. If you want to save costs, you can do the articles yourself. However, there are many freelance writers who are eager to write for you for a small payment, but to save money, it is better to write the articles yourself.

Write articles that are themed with the niche of your website. Write something that you have knowledge on so that when people read it, they can sense your knowledge on the topic and will be excited to go to your site. Write articles that produce tips and guidelines to the theme or niche your site relates to.

Include a resource box at the end of your article that links back to your site. Write a little about yourself and your website. If you provide an information-laden and interesting article, they will go to your site for more.

4] Write a Newsletter.

This might sound like hard work because of all the articles you will need to write to put together a newsletter but on the contrary, this is not so. There are many writers and websites that are keen to supply free articles as long as they can get their name in your newsletter, because this will also provide free promotion for them as well.

As your newsletter gets passed around, you can extend your public awareness and build an opt-in list that will frequently visit your website.

5] Join Online Communities and Forums

This only takes your time and nothing else. You can share your knowledge and proficiency with many online communities.You get free promotion when you go to forums that have the identical subject or niche with your web site.
