If you have no list, or a very small one, your problem may be finding ways to drive traffic to your opt-in offer.
The 2nd best traffic generation method I want to tell you about is Solo Ads (#1 being JV Giveaways, that we talked about in a previous email). Solo Ads can drive tons of traffic to your squeeze page on an ongoing basis.
When done right, this method can help you build a very responsive list of people interested in your niche.
When your subscribers are highly targeted for your niche, they will have a heightened interest in buying your products and services.
In other words, they won't just be "on" your list, they'll pay attention and be responsive to your emails.
There are (2) Types of Solo Ads.
First, there are the kind that you pay for. So you might find a solo ad provider, pay her $85 and be guaranteed 140 clicks to your squeeze page.
There is no guarantee people will sign up once they get to your squeeze page, but you are guaranteed that 140 (in this example) will see it.
That's very targeted traffic, indeed.
The second type of solo ad is known as an Ad Swap.
An ad swap costs you nothing, so you have nothing to lose.
However, the traffic you get may not be as high quality as that from paid solo ads.
To do ad swaps, you must have your own email list that you are willing to send out an email to, offering your subscribers to check out your swap partner's free offer.
In exchange, your partner sends out an email to his list, introducing your free offer, and inviting folks to click onto your squeeze page link.
Obviously, the best way to swap email ads like this is for two partners to accept an arranged and mutual obligatian to send out the same number of emails.
If I email my partner's offer to 500 people on my list, it is because my partner has agree to send an email on my behalf to 500 people on her list.
The more ad swaps like this I can arrange, the more traffic I will drive to my squeeze page, which of course, contains my opt-in offer.
Be mindful, you don't want to do it too much because then you'll be committed to sending so many emails promoting your partners' offers, that it may weary your own subscribers.
But done right, Ad Swaps are a great way to generate an endless stream of traffic, which you convert into lots of subscribers in a very short amount of time.
As always, feel free to reply to this email with any questions or observations you may have on this matter.
I'll discuss one more power traffic method in my next email in this short "traffic generation" series. Talk soon,
