Building Your List Through Traffic Exchanges
An easy way to begin building a list is through traffic exchanges. There are different uses for traffic exchanges. I caution you, showing your product or sales page on a traffic exchange does not get many sales. This is a common mistake with new Internet marketers. Your viewers on a traffic exchange don't have more than a few seconds to find your page interesting. The best way is to use the following key components.
Splash page: Or landing page, is just a brief description of the service that you will provide. It usually will have very little content, but attention grabbing graphics. The idea is to get the surfer to be interested in finding out more. Example [http://www.hitsafari.com/splash3.php?rid=30122]
Squeeze page: Also known as a lead capture page, is a page that is similar to a splash page, but will include fields for the prospect to enter their contact information. Example
Giveaway item: An item that is related to your offered product that will encourage the visitor to enter their information. This is generally an ebook, or software that is related to the niche that you are promoting.
Auto responder: an important part of your list building. This service, or program, is a way to easily contact your subscribers. It would be very difficult to send out emails to hundreds, or even thousands, of subscribers and ensuring that each one got the correct sequence. The two most recommended are Aweber and GetResponse.
A one time offer: Or OTO, is used to offer the new subscriber a special discount on a related product or extra features. Usually, this is only offered to the subscriber once, hence the name "one time offer." This is a way to potentially make a sale before you start sending them other offers. This technique is best for paid offers and membership sites.
If you use the above components in your advertising on traffic exchanges, you will be successful. In addition to the above components, make sure that your splash page is not full of high-resolution graphics that make for slow loading. You only have a few seconds to create interest. Don't waste it with loading time.
