You decided that you want to promote a product that has been proven to have a great demand, the product has kick a$$ salesletter that has a sky-high conversion rate, but all that could be futile, earning you nothing, if you don’t have a single person passing by your website, obviously having no one to sell to!

Even if you are totally a beginner, therefore, you do not have a massive mailing list to sell to and your website is on the 103^th page of search engine results pages., can all be change with a few tried-and-tested traffic generation techniques.

First of all, let me make it clear to you that search engine optimization SEO is not the only way to gain massive amounts of traffic! Search engine result pages are just web pages which are similar to regular websites around the web. It is very lucrative to have your website listed on the top of the page with search engine results because many people use the search engine looking for information and arrive on the search engine results page. Hence, loads of people see your site’s link and you attract loads of traffic.

What most fail to realize is that the effect would have been exactly the same if your website is mentioned in a website with very high traffic. Imagine what would happen if your website got mentioned on the front page of Yahoo’s website! Your website will receive so much visitors your bandwidth might go over the limit. So, the trick is to get other high-traffic websites in your niche to link to your website.

The thing is, you must give them a very strong reasons to link to you – maybe it’s this very thought-provoking article or maybe it’s an ingenious solution to a lifelong problem everyone has had for all their lives. In short, you really want to give people amazing reasons and value to earn a link from them.

Alternatively, linking to high-traffic websites that is related to yours and ask for a link back is one of your best options. This technique is called reciprocal linking and is a very common technique for gaining links. However, before you asking, make sure to check your own website asking yourself, would you recommend such a site to your readers and will it provide useful information to your readers. Also make sure your website has its own value and not just an empty shell devised to attract traffic!

Now sometimes if you connect with the right person they will provide even further value and assist you with your sale promotions by mentioning you or your product to their readers, always make sure to reciprocate even when not asked to.

Getting the word out on your product can really be successful with reciprocal linking as well as using all the resources available to assist you with getting your product viewed by the populace.

As an affiliate marketer the art of preselling is something that definitely needs to be learnt in order for you to succeed in whatever product or service you deciding on selling. Building that anticipation where you are no longer selling but the customers are wanting what you are selling them because they like what they’ve been hearing.

As you know preselling is what some may consider work you must start doing before the release and/or sale of your product; hence the term pre-selling. It’s the work you do to convince your soon to be customers that your product has great benefit and only a fool will pass up your offer without purchasing — all this without actually “selling” the mentioned product.

Preselling can be seen as selling yourself to the customer before you sell your product. When you sell yourself to the customer, you are making your customers think “okay, this guy is not one of those greedy marketers. He’s actually here to help me out.” so that they will let their guard down and listen to your sales pitch.

Now preselling is also the art of building up anticipation, if a friend told you about this new diet that actually works and shows results in a short time but did not mention what it really was, it will leave you wondering what the product really is. More so if you need to lose a few pounds yourself!

That’s why by mentioning a benefit which would get your prospects’ ears perked up again and again but not really revealing what the solution is, you will get your prospects dying to hear what you have to say next as you reveal slightly more about the solution each time. When you finally uncover the whole thing, your prospects will be crawling all over your website looking for the buy button!

For example, “Instantly find bargains with MyShoppingGenie’s proprietary technology on more than 250 million items on major online shopping and auction sites such as Amazon, Target, Wal-Mart, eBay, Buy.com, Compare, Local Businesses and Underground Bargains. Simply do a search using your favorite major search engine such as Google or Yahoo and in seconds the Genie magically appears and displays the items you are looking for without all the clutter! Let the Genie find the best prices with the click of your mouse HERE! “

However, preselling is not just about unveiling your product bit by bit. In fact, that was only one of the various ways one can presell. For example, you might run a weekly newsletter on weight loss and coincidentally you have just written this great ebook called “10 Ways to Solve Your Weight Loss Woes”. In your newsletter, you can presell by including a snippet or two from your ebook and mentioning it as a viable solution to acne problems. If people get good advice from your newsletter, they will perceive you as an expert on acne problems and naturally will be curious to find out the ways you can teach them to solve their problems.

At the end of the day, it all boils down to giving value to people before you ask people to buy something from you. If you can help people to solve their problems, they will, more often than not, be very willing to buy products from you.
