Merchant Mike Tutorials Step 3 Getting Traffic to your Website


There are many ways to get traffic to your site, but first you have to focus on posting lots of quality content. Posting once or twice a day is preferred to keep your viewers interested. Once you have good content the next hurdle is getting your website seen. I have used many ways to get my website seen such as:

Facebook
I have gained lots of traffic to my website in two ways using facebook. 1st is by posting your blog content on your facebook for all your friends to see. 2nd is to join the various business facebook groups and post your blog content there. After you read this post I will provide a list of 50+ Facebook Business groups you can join just email me at mzabad@graphic-designer.com . I will then reply to your email with the list of Facebook Business groups I use.

Addurl
At addurl.nu - (this will redirect you to Addurl) you can add your website to a registry. All you need to do is fill out the form and you will be notified within 24 hours if your website is approved for your registry. It is recommended to put in a backlink but you can just use your website url. Also remember to add the link they specify to your homepage or index page in order to be approved.

Fiverr
Fiverr.com has many gigs you can choose from that will add you to a list of facebook groups, twitter, and on stumbleupon. There are also gigs that will ping your website. Pinging affects the rate at which your website will turn up in search engines and is very useful.

Craiglist
At craiglist you can list your website and it's service for many to see. The only downside I see here is that you will have to make a post for each of the states in USA. I haven't yet found a way to make a single post that will show on all the states in USA.

Pingler
At pingler, you can add your website to be pinged. This means it will more likely show up on search englines like google. You can even sign up for 25 urls at $2.99 /month and your website will be pinged every 3 days!

And there you have it! I will add more ways to get traffic as I discover them so stay tuned! Remember to sign up under my Express My Cash Freebies link to earn money online and recieve a list of 50+ Facebook Business groups where you can post your website!

Online Seller Tutorials Step 2 Making Your Website


Once you have got your product inventory filled or service ready to distribute, you need to get it out there. One of the best ways to get your word out their is through your very own website! Your website is your middle man between you and your product and service. It also is your link between your social media and other sites where you advertise. It's always best to have a website because if the other sites where you post are down you won't have anyway for your customers to even see your product!

I will be reviewing free ways to make a website.

FREE Website
- Eblogger and Wordpress (these links will direct you to eblogger and Wordpress)are great ways to get a blog up and running for free. Designing your blog is made easy with their layout and template customization. Eblogger provides widgets to post your ads and if you are savy with code you can edit the HTML. As I primarily use eblogger, I don't know much about Wordpress except that it provides a lot of freedom in how you can design your blog.
