6. Get Paid Search Traffic (PPC, PPV, Content Network, Banners)

Buying search traffic is one of the fastest ways to get the clicks.  If you have some cash to burn, then this may be the right way to test the new market you’re about to enter.

What I like about pay-per-click (PPC), pay-per-view (PPV) and other paid traffic methods, is that you can measure the effectiveness of each campaign, each keyword you’re bidding on, and every piece of online ‘real estate’ you advertise on. If you are the analytical type, this may  become your favourite traffic method.

Since you are paying for every click, you need to find a way to immediately monetize this traffic so that you could run a PPC campaign indefinitely at a profit or at least at a break even. This may require a fair bit of fine-tuning, and that’s why you need to have a cash reserve to play this game.

7. Get “Free” Search Traffic (SEO)

Search Engine Optimization is a misnomer. You can’t optimize search engine. You can, however, optimize your web pages in a way that search engines will find it and start suggesting it to the people who type in certain search words or phrases in Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc.

SEO is something that takes time to see the results of. If this is new territory for you, then pick another — faster — method of acquiring a seed list.

On the other hand, if you are an SEO expert and have websites that search engines send a lot of traffic to, all you need to do is offer all these people a chance to subscribe to your newsletter in exchange for a special report or other valuable gift.

8. Use Safe Lists and Viral List Builders

A safe list is a special email “club” where each member can send emails to other members. When you join a safe list, you give permission to other members to send you their ads. Don’t expect the leads that you get from a safe list to be quite as responsive as, say SEO traffic. However, you can still successfully market your squeeze page in safe lists.

Viral list builders take the idea of safe lists to the next level and compensate you with traffic credits for referring other marketers into your “downline”.

When you use either safe lists or viral list builders, remember not to sign up with your main email address. You are likely to receive a large amount of promotional emails there. So create a brand-new gmail account and use that instead.

9. Use Traffic Exchanges

A traffic exchange is a network of marketers who receive traffic credits for looking at other people’s websites. Since the users of traffic exchanges get compensated for looking at your squeeze page, your conversion is likely to be rather low. However, you will still be acquiring leads.

If you have children at home, get them to login into your traffic exchange and click on other people’s ads. That will help you build up your credits, and with more credits in your account, you will receive more traffic.

10. Buy Co-Reg Leads

Coreg (also “co-reg” and co-registration) refers to a service that allows you to place your ad on other people’s thank you pages.

The responsiveness of a co-reg list would depend on a lot of factors. Remember that these leads don’t come free. You should expect to pay anywhere from 25c – 50c per lead of good quality. And just like with any other method, run a test and see if these leads are going to respond to your offer and products.

Most of the major autoresponder providers don’t allow you to import a co-reg list anymore without your subscribers re-confirming their subscription. Give preference to those co-reg services that already come with an autoresponder.
