Traffic Building From A Different Perspective

we all want to make money online but very few of us have the financial resources to do it big time. There are internet marketers out there who will tell you that if you follow their system or sell their product, you can make a five or six figure monthly income. There are a lot of reasons why this isn’t likely.
It’s no doubt that a handful of people have made tens of thousands of dollars per month from affiliate programs. These would be the ones who got in on the ground floor and got their sites to the top of the search engine rankings first. Once there, they were not about to lose their spot and continued to invest a significant share of their monthly income to stay on top.
What chance have you got against them? No matter what traffic generating or article submission service you subscribe to, they’re doing the same thing, but on a vastly bigger scale. Can you afford ten thousand dollars or more per month just to promote your site? That’s what your competition in these high return niches spend – and more.
You don’t need to roll over and die, though. Small militia’s faced with an overwhelming armed force use guerilla tactics and so can you. They may have very few resources, but they use what they have and, if they’re persistent, they win the war.
What do you have that you can use to get your piece of the internet profit pie? What about that scrapbook album you lovingly put together in your spare time?
As laughable as that may sound, it could be your golden calf! People all over the world love making scrapbooks. If you’re good at it and love it, why not share you knowledge and passion with others through an e-book. Find sources for handmade paper and sell that and other supplies online. You have a niche the big guns don’t even know about now.
Now look around and see what else you have in your ‘arsenal.’ What about that alpine skiing equipment? You and your family love to ski cross country. Take a working holiday and record your adventures. Then, when you get home, record your family filling in a scrapbook with pictures from your trip. Post it online and invite your mailing list to join in the fun. They’ll love it and you’re bound to get more traffic!
People are getting sick of the constant hype that most affiliate marketers use to sell products. The truth is, about one percent of them make any money. Small niche businesses run by real enthusiasts, though, can generate an income. If you use the traffic generating skills you’ve learned and combine them with your genuine interests, you could have a real winner on your hands!
