If you are feeling a bit of confusion and frustration about how to get visitors to your home based internet business website and generate more sales, I know exactly how you feel. I felt the same way until I stopped listening to every “big time” marketer that came along with the latest traffic generating trick.

 Every day I read an article or see an ad about driving people to your home based internet business website in fact driving traffic to a website has become the “holy grail” on the Internet. People are realising that if you build it, they won’t come… unless you give them a reason. Traffic just doesn’t happen by itself, your home based internet business website is just one of many millions on the web and people rarely just stumble upon your site by accident.

Now days to be really effective as a internet marketer you need to think outside the box and not follow the herd, so try these  3 ways to  drive  traffic to your website:

• Direct mail
•  Social Bookmarking
• Freebies and discounts

Direct mail
As the cost of pay per click marketing goes up, and joint ventures become harder and harder to get, the free traffic generating methods start dying,. With banner impressions sending you trickle traffic, and more and more emails never arrive because of the spam filters, it’s time to look at direct mail.

It is going to cost you a little money to send a mail shot. But if you’ve tweaked and tested your home based internet business  website to convert the maximum amount of visitors, and  you have set-up up your automated backend sales process. Direct mail is one of the best ways of driving laser targeted visitors to your site, people who already have a proven track record of BUYING products similar to what you offer.

Social Bookmarking
The process of social bookmarking is to bookmark a website or home based internet business webpage of your interest in a social networking website. Such bookmarks are published to particular webpages allocated to your online activities and remain there for the future use of yourselves and others.

Some of the more popular Social sites.

• Stumble Upon
• Reddit
• Furl
• DropJack

You can bookmark the webpages of your home based Internet business site, which you’ve recently added to your website. By using tags, you set the keywords for which you’d like your bookmarked link to be found. When others search that keywords inside that particular social media, they can find the link to your newly added webpage.

Freebies and discounts.
 Free gifts and big discounts often get people clamouring for a product and service like no other ad campaign could.

Giving your customers  bonuses that costs more than the product that  they have paid for, then you’ve hit on a goldmine. A freebie would surely get them so interested that they would gladly part with their hard earned dollars just so they can  get hold  of your bonus.

Nevertheless, your bonus and freebie would also not be popular among your customers if it doesn’t have any value to them. It doesn’t matter that it’s the most expensive item in your arsenal, if your home based internet business customers don’t have any use for it, then your message would just be a waste of your time and money, as well as those of your customers. One thing’s for sure, your freebie should be directly related to the product that was purchased.

Conclusion

obviously, there are a lot of other ways to increase home based internet business website traffic. The three listed above are a great place to start.  By trying out other traffic methods will ensure that your home based internet business website is the traffic-snagging, profit-generating machine you intend it to be.
