One thing that many online marketers are guilty of is chasing every new technique or strategy instead of choosing one and using it to generate results.
What I want to outline for you now is the exact step-by-step system I use to generate website traffic to my membership sites. You can use this plan for any marketing method you want. The important point is to follow it completely and not get sidetracked when something new comes out and promises you the world.
Here's the system:
Step 1: Choose Your Marketing Method
For this example, let's say you want to use article marketing to generate website traffic for your membership site. That's it. Step one is done.
Step 2: Make a Plan
Next, you need to develop a plan that makes sense to you or one that works for someone else that you've learned. For example, my article marketing strategy is a minimum of 30 articles per membership site. Then I post these articles on the top ten article directories. Then I turn them into short videos and post them to the top ten video directories. The end result is a total of 600 articles and videos actively marketing my membership website!
I can do all this in less than 30 days and the results are fantastic. In fact, I have not had to create more than 30 articles to reach my goals. That allows me to focus on my next membership site. Perhaps it would benefit me to create more articles but it's not part of my plan at this point. So I don't do it. My current plan is working for me.
Whatever plan or strategy you want to employ is fine. It really doesn't matter. You simply need to make a decision and stick with it. This leads us to the next step.
Step 3: Follow Your Plan
Now that you've made a plan the most important success factor is actually following it. Do everything you outlined. Don't deviate from it until you do it for at least 30 days. Thirty days seems to be an acceptable time for testing a method to see how it works for you. But you will never know if it does work for you unless you commit to following your plan completely.
Step 4: Evaluate the Results
After you've given your plan a 100% effort its now time to evaluate the results. Did you reach your goals? What worked the best? How can the plan be improved? What changes need to be made, if any?
Once you give yourself an honest evaluation make the necessary changes and move on to the next step.
Step 5: Rinse and Repeat
The final step is to implement your new plan to build even more traffic to your site or to market a new site completely. The key here is to remain consistent with your marketing efforts. Don't stop or give up. Keep on keepin' on.
Any plan is better than no plan. Following any strategy is better than no strategy. Taking action is better than inaction. Even if your plan doesn't produce your ideal results at least you'll know that. You'll be able to move on and develop a new and better strategy. But you have to follow these five steps to give yourself a fighting chance.
