Crazy days in Ole Galveston
 

Way back in 2005, Galveston Texas was under an emergency evacuation order because of an oncoming HURRICANE! 

That’s right, there were 2.5 million Galveston residents all hitting Interstate 45, trying to get the heck out of there; not even a month after Katrina hit Louisiana, who could blame them.
 

The panic created a 100 mile long traffic jam and lasted 3 grueling days! 

The good news is millions of lives were spared when Galveston dodged the worst of the hurricane, but it was still a horrendous traffic jam.  Actually, it was one of the worst in history but… 

…have you noticed that when we talk about "traffic" in the REAL world, it's usually pretty negative?  On the flipside though, and here is something that I always thought was kind of amusing, but…

…once we have conversations about online activity, well, traffic takes on a WHOLE other meaning. 

The fact of the matter is, this traffic is the fuel in the engine of online business.  Without it, you are pretty much roadkill.  With it?  Well...with good traffic You can extend the Joyride in the great ole information highway!

Any product you are trying to sell, an article you are trying to get read, a podcast you are trying to get listened to, or video you are trying to get watched… 

…it becomes much more effortless with a steady stream of traffic at your fingertips. 

My friend, over the course of the next several emails we are going to be taking a journey into the world of free traffic. 

I want to give you the best under the radar sources, some interesting tactics, strategies, and just all around greatness when it comes to traffic getting. 

I want you to white list these emails, save them in a good location so you won't forget, print them out if you need to, because we are getting ready to go on a trip.

To travel into the subject of little known, largely untapped, and in many cases underutilized sources of traffic for you to use as you see fit. 

The doors are going to be kicked open in these coming emails, the chains are going to be broken, and the secrets are going to be revealed. So, I want you to sit back, buckle up, and get ready for the good stuff... 

In the next message to you, I'll be getting into this fully, but for now I just want you to think about what it would be like if you could have free traffic at your beck and call, to send wherever you want.  What would that feel like? 

Get ready.  We are getting there, beginning with my next email.  Your days of not enough traffic and miserable failure online are over!

Before I go, I'll leave you with this : Free and Cheap Marketing Resources for more traffic

Congrats for being an action taker! :-) 

Affiliate marketing is where you help a product owner make more sales, rather than creating your own product. You are essentially a commission sales person for another business. If you make sales, you get paid a percentage of the sale.

The key phrase here is "if you make sales". Most people who try affiliate marketing never make consistent sales. If you don't make consistent sales, then you don't make consistent income.

Back in the 2000's when I started, it was easy to sell affiliate offers. There weren't many people promoting these offers and people were flush with cash to spend. They would buy anything, whether it worked or not.

Fast forward to 2022 and it is a completely different ballgame. People have thousands of sellers trying to make the sale and they are more careful with their money. Don't you think harder about spending $50 these days?

Ultimately, most people buy products because they have a problem that needs solving. If you have a headache, you go buy some Tylenol. If you want to lose weight, you buy some diet plan or low calorie food. If you aren't making as much money as you would like, then you go online looking for a way to make some money on the side. If you hate your job, you look for an online business or other job to replace it.

Humans spend most of their time thinking about two things. Problems they have and don't want, or things that they want and don't have.

People's problems and desires have not gotten less in the last 22 years. If anything, people have more problems to solve now than they did in 2000. The difference is that they NEED TO KNOW that the solution you offer them is going to actually work. They need to TRUST the person recommending the product.

This is where the power of email comes in. There is no better way to build trust in prospective customers than having a series of emails that focus on getting people to "know, like, and trust" you. Emails that educate and motivate people to want to do business with you.

It is email that has enabled me to work from home since quitting my last J.O.B. in 2004. I have earned more money every single year since 2004 than I ever did in my job ... and I had a great paying technology job. Some years it was 5 times what I made in my job.

However, anyone who has sent an email in the last 10 years will tell you that it isn't as simple as it sounds. You can't just send emails, you have to send AWESOME emails.
