As Seen on TV

Hello, folks!

Today, I am posting yet another technique to get FREE traffic to your site, blog, lens… and this will only take an hour or so! Well, let’s start with an introduction.

… One of my lists usually gets 10-20 new daily opt-ins but today I got 100! I had to dig deeper and find WHERE exactly they came from… it was a Squidoo lens I built a while ago. That lens usually gets 20 uniques per day, but today I got a little over 750! About 250 of them clicked on my links within the lens, 100 subscribed to my list and I also got 5 sales! Remember, I spent 30 minutes creating this lens, another 20 minutes writing an article and submitting it to EzineArticles, 3 or 4 months ago and I haven’t done anything to it since.

Today's Squidoo Traffic Screen ShotSo what exactly happen?

When I created the lens, I tried to use the “Free TV Traffic” techniques I learned about on Wealthy Affiliate. This technique was posted by Jay, a member of WA (I don’t feel right taking credit for it).

So, I explain. You most likely have seen those “Work From Home” TV infomercials. Many of them promise to make you super rich but we all know it’s a bunch of B.S. most of the time.

Well, that’s all for now. I imagine you figured out the rest ;)

Just kidding. Here is something a lot of marketers don’t realize. Many of those folks who stumble across these infomercials open up Google and search for reviews. So why don’t you make a review and get on the top results of Google for the main keywords? I explained how to get on Google’s first page in this post: “Dominate Google’s First Page for FREE”.

You could either order their package and review it (which I do not recommend, because once you give them your phone # - they will never stop calling you). What you could do, is check out Scam.com and RipoffReport.com - most of the programs advertised on TV are listed in these sites, with reviews and customer’s feedback.

As to WHY I got so many visitors all of the sudden, the answer is simple. That same infomercial ran on TV today at 3pm, then 6pm - and since it’s Saturday, most people are home, watching TV.

Now you see how amazing it is. You make this lens or a blog, which will have a constant amount of daily visitors and HIGHLY increased amounts of visitors on special occasions - for instance when that TV ad is playing on TV. The advertiser pays hundreds of thousands of dollars to have their ad on TV - but most of the time they do not optimize their online business - so you “steal” their traffic, it’s all your completely free!

Don’t limit yourself to “Make Money From Home” infomercials. There are A LOT of TV ads related to looking good (Muscle Building, Acne Removal…), Losing Weight and many many others…

DISCLAIMER: Please use this technique at your own risk. I once purchased a domain and built a mini site about it, The_Whatever_Infomercial_Scam.com and I received an e-mail from the lawyer of this company asking me to transfer the domain name to them or they will sue me for $300,000 because I used their trademarked name and claimed their company to be SCAM (which it was and still is).

Be creative.

Make money.
