The more traffic you have, the bigger your bottom line. Whether you’re launching a new product or just want a quick influx of cash, sometimes you need tons of traffic quickly. Here are 5 fast solutions to drive traffic to your website.

#1 Social media. Social media works quickly particularly if you have a large following on any of the social media sites. You can generate a ton of traffic to your website quickly with a single Tweet. The key is to create attention-grabbing posts that arouse curiosity, make people laugh or stir up a controversy. You want to generate click throughs to your website.

Make the most of your social networking tactics and use technology to get the job done. For example, one StumbleUpon post can be integrated with both Facebook and Twitter profiles so you’re making waves on all three social sites at once.

#2 Article marketing. Article marketing works well when you concentrate your efforts on quality article marketing sites with large audiences. One well written and informative article, rewritten a few times, and submitted to a handful of directories can generate the traffic you’re looking for. Be sure to include a bio box that includes a call to action and a link to your website to motivate click throughs.

While many people think of article marketing as a long-term stragegy (and it is!) it can also generate quick results in the form of overnight search enginge rankings, as well as backlinks from other sites. The results are determined by the high-traffic article directories where you publish your articles – and by the backlinks you get from other sites republishing your articles.

#3 Blogging. Post on your own blog or be a guest blogger on a blog with a large number of subscribers. Like social networking, if you offer an informative, controversial or entertaining post, you’ll have people clicking through to your website like mad. Of course, if you also promote this wonderful blog post(s) via social media, you can double your traffic results.

#4 Video content. It’s amazing how quickly a video can go viral. Like print content, videos that entertain, stir up a bit of controversy or offer tremendous value cause a buzz. They’re forwarded to friends and downloaded on laptops and mobile devices around the globe. A good video can generate all the traffic you need. Again, integrate a bit of social media to promote your video, blog about it, and you can multiply your traffic results.

#5 Partnerships. Partnering with a relevant or compatible business can work quite well to generate traffic fast. The key is to come up with a mutually beneficial agreement. Find people in your industry who are willing to work with you and help each other drive traffic. A marketing partnership may include guest blogging on each other’s sites, swapping advertisements or even promoting one another in your newsletter.

It’s possible to drive a ton of traffic to your website fast. The trick is to have a plan in place, know your audience and your goals, and take action. To your success!

Will you give up – or fire up? That’s the burning question you should be asking yourself. Today is September 23. There are 100 days to go in 2009.

So what are you going to do with those 100 days? Will you keep doing what you’ve been doing?

If you’ve had a great year you may be tempted to keep doing what you’ve been doing. After all, look at all you have accomplished! But judging by your success you are more likely to Fire Up!

And if you’ve had a bad year – NOW is the time to CHANGE what you’ve been doing. Fire Up! You can achieve a LOT in just 100 days – you just need to Fire Up your efforts!

One of the easiest and most enjoyable ways to do that is by creating a Joint Venture with someone. It’s much faster (and more fun!) to create a product with someone else. Your JV Partner will push you forward on the days you may be down.

Until now, it’s been a bit daunting to create a Joint Venture – especially if it’s your first one. You’re so afraid of making a mistake. What if it doesn’t work out? How can you manage the project details? How do you keep in touch and still crank out the product?

That’s exactly why we (one of my JV Partners and I) created the JVs Made Simple System – we want to make it easier for you to do a Joint Venture than it was for us. We’ve pulled together all of the materials you need including sample agreements, online tools – even a complete plan for this project!

You won’t find a more complete, easy-to-use system for cranking out Joint Ventures.

And right now,  we’re offering it for $100 off the retail price. That’s right – when you sign up NOW you’ll save more than 50% off the price.

This is YOUR chance to Fire Up for the last 100 days of 2009!

There is a lot of confusion in the market place as to what a joint venture is – and how that works with your business.

According to the definition in Dictionary.com a Joint Venture is “a business enterprise in which two or more companies enter a temporary partnership.”

Wikipedia has a slight variance on that: A Joint Venture is “an entity formed between two or more parties to undertake economic activity together.”

So where does that leave you? With some confusion, I would imagine.

In the Internet marketing community Joint Ventures (JVs as they are called) have come to mean an affiliate arrangement. When someone says they’re looking for a “JV” it generally means you want people who have big lists of subscribers to mail for you – often on the same day.

Essentially they want to have a Super Affiliate as their “JV Partner.” Frankly, I have to disagree with this use of the term.

If you’re looking for affiliates, just say so. This is not a Joint Venture, in my book.

When I talk about a Joint Venture, I’m talking about a business agreement where two or more people create a product or do a project together.

That’s just one of the items I want to clarify for you in JVs Made Simple – a program from one of my JV Partners and I.
