Ready to make a splash with your new online business? Try these 4 power user tips first!
1. You can’t play the game without keeping up with current trends. Social sites are taking the internet by storm, and they are the only way to truly play the game with the big dogs. Take notice, and start targeting some of your efforts to leverage social sites for a ton of new traffic! Learn from the best here.
2. Forums! Although forums are kind a dying breed, they can still bring you quite a bit of traffic. Even better is the fact that they can bring you highly targeted traffic since you are browsing topics that fit your niche. Also try searching http://answers.yahoo.com for related niche topics.
3. Blog to build a loyal following. The more trust you can build with your audience, the more money they spend with you later. If an audience knows that you give great information, and you do so in an efficient manner, they’ll come back again and again. Don’t sell – Presell.
4. Submit! No, I’m not asking you to give up. I want you to submit articles to directories, submit your blog to directories, and submit your links to other blogs and blog carnivals. Submission can really bring a ton of traffic.

Getting traffic to your website for free takes a ton of work. Basically, you need to get your link on as many relevant websites as you can. So how would you go about getting this done? Slowly! It’s a slow process, but it’s something that will pay off in the long run.
OK, obviously, traffic building is not for everyone, and it takes quite a bit of work. But, it’s a necessity, and it’s something that must be done to ensure that your website is one of the few that “make it”.
If you are the lazy type, you may better suited finding another way to make money online. Lazy bloggers are broke bloggers.
Now, on to the good news. If you can find an unsaturated market, you don’t need a lot of traffic to make money. It actually takes very little “targeted” traffic to make you a ton of cash. The smaller the niche, the less traffic you need to compete with the “big dogs”. In fact, it may not be that hard to become a big dog yourself.
So that’s tip number one. Find the right niche. The right niche may make the difference between success and failure, so do yourself a favor and pick the right one. Remember, smaller niches are easier to compete in. Smaller niches also take less time to make money in.
I know. Easier said than done right? Not really – click here to see what I mean.

So you are a new blogger, you have some posts, and you think they are pretty good. How do you get those posts in front of as many people as possible so that you can make the most money from the least amount of work? It’s not as hard as you may think. Here are five tips for more blog traffic:
1. Provide great information, FOR FREE! - Let’s face it, people like getting something for nothing. The more value you can give away free, the more inherent value it gives the things that you are trying to sell. It’s the mindset of, “if they give this much away for free, imagine how much information is in the paid stuff!”.
2. Comment On Other Blogs - Get off your butt and go meet your fellow bloggers. Not only are you building relationships that can be beneficial down the road, you are also leaving a link to your blog when you do it. This brings traffic, and traffic equals money!
3. Respond to Your Own Comments – If someone takes the time to comment, it’s your responsibility to answer any questions they may have. Always reply to comments!
4. Write with the Promise of More - Leave them hanging. The readers love to hate posts that are continued, or that leave them on the edge of their seats. Like mom always said, “leave ‘em wanting more”!
5. Use Social Bookmarking Sites - I shouldn’t even have to tell you that Digg and Stumpleupon can bring tens of thousands of visitors to your site, every single month. Why not spend the time?
