Exposing the Free Traffic Myth Part I
There's this idea and you can buy plenty of ebooks on it. In fact, I think there was a seminar a couple months ago, several thousand dollars worth of a coaching program to teach you how to generate free traffic.
The funny thing is, I just have to laugh when I see it because I look at each one of those sources of 'free traffic' and none of them are really free. They all have a cost involved, whether there's time, whether there's money involved, every kind of free traffic.
Article marketing - of course that's my favorite source of traffic - and I hope I've never called it free traffic. If I have, let me know where it is because I'll change it, because article marketing is not free traffic. It may not cost you dollars to write the article, but it costs you time.
If it takes you half an hour to write the article and you're worth $20/hour or $30/hour at whatever work you do, that article really cost you $10-15 to write. If you pay somebody $5-15 to write an article, if you pay somebody to submit it - whether you do it yourself or somebody else does it, it's not free.
Sometimes you'll hear that affiliate marketing is free traffic. Affiliate marketing is not free traffic. You've got to pay out ½ or 2/3. Sometimes on higher ticket items maybe you're only going to pay out 1/3 of the product price. That's not free traffic.
The thing is, I get asked sometimes, "Why don't you have an affiliate program?" Frankly I'm selfish, because if I had an affiliate program and I was paying out 50-60% plus fees, I'd be giving away well over 2/3, probably closer to ¾ of my income to affiliates.
