How To Drive Free Instant Traffic To Your Affiliate Offers

As you might know, driving traffic to a website is the most important thing in your marketing. Most of the affiliates don't know to much about traffic tactics that they can use on a daily basis… So here are a few of traffic tactics you can use for instant traffic for your website or affiliate offers.

Method #1 - Social Media sites

Most of us don't really use the power of social media sites, On the last few years social media sites are becoming more powerful every day, and millions of people are joining daily to some kind of social network.

You can get thousands of visitors to any website you desire using those social media sites. All you have to do is to get socialized and interact with people. In every opportunity that you have to show off your website, it will be a smart idea to do so.

Method #2 - Answer Questions

Another powerful traffic tactic is to answer people's questions on answers sites like Yahoo Answers, Ask.com, and so on…
Every one of us know something that he can teach, even you. When you're choosing your niche, it's always good to go for something that you have the knowledge to help people and educate them.

You can drive hordes of traffic from those answers sites if you answer a good detailed honest answer to a question. If you do it ethically and you give enough information to solve the question, you can be sure that adding your link to the bottom of your answer will not get you flagged and you'll get a lot of traffic from people who want to know more about the subject.

Method #3 - How To Sites

This method is barely used by Internet marketers but still, it is very powerful.

How To Choose A Good Product To Promote As An Affiliate

One of the most crucial mistakes new affiliates make is that they choose a product that people do not buy. That's the main reason where newbie affiliates get stuck with their affiliate marketing campaign.

As you probably know, when you don't see results for your efforts, you can get frustrated very fast, and stop trying doing what you do.

That's why I've decided to show you how to choose a good product to promote, and how to make sure that the product you are choosing is going to be profitable for you.

So the first thing you want to look for is a product that people actually need, and not want. When someone is in need for the product you're promoting he will buy it no matter what's the quality of it, and sometime no matter what the price tag is.

Why they will buy it?

Because they are desperate for a solution to their problem, and you have it right there in your hands. That's why I recommend all my fellow affiliates to promote products that people need, and that's the way to online fortune.

So how you can make sure that people actually need your product?

Choose products from the Health&Fitness category for example. Those people are desperate for a change in their life. Some of them are looking for a weight loss program that they can follow and get thin, while others are looking for a six pack abs to show off and get more girls.

Another category that you can go for is the Adware&Spyware software's. In many cases, people's computers are getting infected with spyware or adware and they will pay any amount of money just to save their computer data. Some have family pictures that they don't want to loose and others have some important documents that they will pay a fortune to get rid of the spyware on their computer.

I hope you can see how selecting a product that people NEED can help you make more sales. You should go for the desperate buyers and not those who are looking to have fun with their product. If you'll stick to this theory, you might see yourself finally making some sales.
