Want Tons Of Free Traffic? Use A Marketing Funnel

What is a “Marketing Funnel”? And why do I need one?

If you’ve got something to sell online, like a business opportunity, a service or a product, then the “marketing funnel” will be amazingly helpful for you to generate a massive amount of free traffic to your website. The marketing funnel is used by many of the big marketers across the net.

Let me explain the analogy. The narrow end of the funnel is your opt-in page or website, where prospects enter their email address and go through to make a direct sale. The wide end of the funnel is the catchment area, for all the potential online traffic coming from a wide variety of sources. If you build a very large, far-reaching funnel, you can drive an enormous amount of traffic.

So what makes up the wide end of the funnel?

To a certain extent, this is only limited by your imagination and how big you want the funnel to be.

A powerful and productive funnel would certainly include some of the following areas: -

- Social Media sites, eg. Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and Orkut

- Video Media channels, eg. YouTube, Metacafe, Viddler and Revver

- Article Sites like Ezine Articles, Article Base and Buzzle

- Blogs, eg. Blogspot, Wordpress and Wikis

- Social Review Sites like Squidoo and Hubpages

Additionally, you may also want to consider the following;

- Press Release sites, eg. Free-Press-Release.com

- Picture sites like Flickr and Zoomr

- Social Bookmarking and linking sites like Delicious, Digg, Stumbleupon and Propeller

Due to the huge amount of people using these social sites, you can generate all the traffic youll ever need simply by establishing and maintaining a presence on them.

The objective is to be putting out content to as many places and as regularly as possible. Always make sure you are linking back to your opt-in page.

You can effectively leverage your time with this strategy. For example, just one article can provide you with an incredible amount of content for all these different networks. What this will do, is boost your appearance as an authority figure, build your online presence, and expose you to a never-ending supply of prospects for you business.

An additional benefit of this system, is that it will vastly improve your search rankings for your main website in Google, Yahoo and others, due to all the back links.

It is true that setting up a quality social media traffic network can take some time, but its well worth it. Once youre set up, the time required will become considerably less and less.

After the initial set up of your accounts, which is where the biggest chunk of your time will go…all you’ll need to do is schedule in some time to add more content. This is a continuous process, but it all adds up and you’ll see it growing and growing.

The building of your funnel is a process, and you’ll soon become very proficient at this and will see results very fast. It’s obviously not something that can be mastered overnight, but the more of it you do, the bigger the pay off will be.

The more you do, the more you’ll learn. You’ll also find faster and easier ways to accomplish your main goals.

Once you get going there will be a snowball effect. The longer period of time you’re on the networks, the more credibility you will get and as a result, you will grow an extremely large number of followers.

Naturally, followers who like and trust you equals tons of traffic. This will lead to tons of sales and huge profits. Which, at the end of the day, is the name of the game!
