Ultimate “Marketing” Tactics – How to Turn Online Traffic into Money – #4 of 4

How to Turn Online Traffic into Money – #4 of 4

First, have you covered the basics to create a “sticky” site? If not, read up on Search Engine Optimization (SEO). SEO is critical to attract your target traffic. Then, be sure that you have an eye-catching reason for the visitor to read your site within TWO seconds of landing there. Offer engaging and informative content. If you don’t understand what interests your target audience, back up and figure that out. Make your site intuitive – easy to navigate. Emphasize security. And integrate user-friendly interfaces for e-commerce sites.

Website Traffic Conversion

Now that you have traffic, consider using Twitter as a tool for engaging them. TJ McCue, Founder of Sales Rescue Team, offers case studies on web traffic conversion using Twitter. Companies such as Etsy, JetBlue, NakedPizza, Pepsi, and Levi’s are role models for smaller businesses by using Microblogging to actually close sales.

Twitter Case Studies

Many of these companies use coupons to drive customers directly to their website. A few examples:

• Boloco, (burrito restaurant) almost tripled their business over print coupons.
• Albion’s Oven (bakery) Twitters about what is FRESH. (Yum!)
• Timm Ferriss uses Twitter in his educational nonprofit work.
• Dell finds that their coupons are regularly re-tweeted. They attribute $3 million in sales to their Twitter posts.
