Traffic is a very difficult thing for any marketer in any niche to get. It’s simply the one thing that we can never have enough of. How do you get people to promote your membership site? Use one of these methods.
1. Direct broadcast.
Do you have mailing list of your very own? Even if it’s small, as long as it’s in the correct targeted niche, you can email that list and tell them about your membership site. Do you know other people with similar targeted list? Contact them and ask for a simple favor for them to mail.
2. Download page offer or exit offer.
Let’s say you buy one of your competitor’s offers or even someone who’s on a similar niche as you. They all have a download page or membership area after payment. When you go to that download page, is the only thing you can do is download the thing you just bought? If so, contact that person and ask if you can pay them to place a link on their download page.
If you have an affiliate program and they could place an affiliate link you don’t even have to pay them. If they say no, you’re still not stuck because you can ask them to place your offer as an exit pop-up. This means that they go to the download page after purchasing, they can download the product but after they try to leave it shows your offer.
3. Autoresponder follow-up offer.
Even if someone has said they won’t mail for you and they won’t place your link on a download page, ask them if they will place an ad for your membership site in their autoresponder follow-up sequence. A follow-up sequence is where someone gets on their list and gets a certain message on day one, day two, day three and so on and the average marketer simply does not know what messages to send on different days. They’re herding for content. If you were to offer a pre-written follow-up or even a pre-written follow-up sequence for them to simply place into their autoresponder and get an affiliate commission, it’s a no brainer for most people.
4. Ride along bonus.
As a membership owner, what would you do if someone came to you and said, “Here is my report, here’s my video. I want you to put it on your membership site for free, no questions asked. I just want the exposure.” Seems like a good deal, right? You can do the same thing.
Take your product and offer it to membership site owners for free, meaning that your product will be included as part of their membership site. This way, you can ride on their credibility and be associated with that person, they get extra content and you get extra exposure and traffic.
5. Embedded report upsell.
Ask other membership site owners and info product creators if they will sell you a one page or half page ad inside of their latest book. You’d be surprised at how many people will say yes and now you have a built-in advertisement in someone else’s product which is even more effective if you write the ad as a non-obvious ad as an instructional chapter because you are not limited to the usual rules placed on newspapers or magazines to make an advertisement look different than the rest of the publication. You can make your ad blend in and make it look like the other marketer is literally endorsing your membership site.
