When it come to traffic there is one kind that we all seriously dislike, commuter traffic. In many cases it is one of the reasons we are building home based businesses, so we don't have to sit in that commuter traffic. However when it comes to that home based business you definitely want more traffic.
But the question is can you have too much? You will find some people say yes and some people say no, I say both.
Yes you definitely want more traffic coming to your website because more traffic means more sales Right? Unfortunately that is not always the case; you also need to be ready for it. If all people do is come to your website look around and then leave, so what if you have traffic they are not buying, commenting or asking questions about your products or services. You want people to hang around, engage and create a buzz right there on your site.
When you have a website that is "converting" then NO you can't have too much traffic.
You want that traffic to be targeted, not everyone is ready to buy your product or service, in fact some people will NEVER be ready. You want to find the people who are interested, who already have identified a need for your product or service. Then put yourself in front of them. Social Media Marketing with Facebook, Twitter and YouTube is an excellent way to put yourself out there so that people will be able to know, like and trust you.
Here are 3 more ways to get traffic to your website...
Email your list - one of the first things you can do is to email your list. Now that might seem super obvious however when you email your list are you making offers? Are you telling people to go back to your website and take a look at your products. When I first started building my list I was scared that people would opt-out if I "tried to sell them", I have learned better. It costs you money, time and effort to maintain a list, as a business owner you have the right to reap the rewards of that effort. Make offers when you email your list.
Buy it - another way to get traffic to your website is to buy it. You can do this with Facebook ads, Pay Per Click (PPC) ad campaigns, hire another company to drive traffic to your site, hire someone to conduct your social media campaigns and have them drive traffic to your site. There literally 100's of ways to spend money getting traffic to your site, do your homework! Check out potential methods and companies, don't just go with the one who promises you the world, you may find yourself disappointed.
Joint venture - you can get together with other like minded business people who have products and/or services that are compatible with your own. Do a teleseminar, webinar or event together, use your imagination what can you do together that will mutually benefit all.
