Although the web is new technology, many of the techniques and methods we use are simply improvements on those that are used in the “old” world of bricks and mortar stores.

For example - everything from cross-selling, to mailing lists, to promotions have been used in retail stores for decades. The web simply makes everything quicker, cheaper and simpler.

Here’s another technique that has been proven to increase sales and traffic: Vouchers!

These are a special kind of promotion. They’re very familiar to the general public - a user can exchange their voucher for money off a product, or even get a bonus or free product.

In the real world you may find vouchers for, say, 2 for the price of 1 or 50c off a product. They are used by a retailer to get people into their store. They may have a time limit, for short burst of activity. The best part is they cost very little to honour since they are rarely provided at a lost. If for example an extra 100 people use the vouchers to get a dollar off something the retailers loss in potential profits on the item are more than made up by the increased sales of that item.

To put it more simply, take this example: A retailer makes $2 profit on every book sold, and he usually sells 10 of those books a day =  $20 profit. With a voucher offer, he only makes $1 profit per book, but he sells an extra 10. That means he still sells his original 10 books for $20 profit, but increases that by the extra sales to the tune of another $10. Then of course there are the supplementary sales that can be made from the increased visitors to the store.

It’s easy to  take this to the online world. You only need a space at the order form or on the main website to enter a code.

Of course, you could have a special “sales day” where the price is already discounted, but the fact a voucher is given makes the potential purchaser feel more privileged. They see the original price at the website and feel smug with the knowledge that they, and not the general website visitor, will get a special discount. It may even urge people who would not normally buy that product to purchase - especially if they are sitting on the fence.

And - as in the real world store - it will also get more visitors, i.e. more traffic, to the site. That gives you the chance to make extra sales, give you the chance to get more people onto your mailing list, and even find new fans of your site or products.

Basically, a voucher gives people a reason to visit.

You can distribute the voucher codes however you see fit. By e-mail, promoting at other sites, or by your affiliates providing the vouchers themselves.

For an easy way to implemement vouchers try “Voucher Machine”. This desktop software enables you to create voucher codes, one-off codes, expiring codes (great to imply urgency!) and more. I have found Voucher Machine available for just $9.95 as part of a four-pack of software (it comes with Affiliate Promo Machine, Rolodex Poster and Copywriting Automator) here:

Voucher Machine and more with MRR

These come with Master Resale Rights so you can re-sell the software yourself, and you can also earn 100% commissions with the affiliate program.

Did you grab your copy of the Conduit Method?

Here’s some more detailed information:

1. The actual method involves creating quick product review sites. Specifically, creating websites around a particular niche with seperate pages “reviewing” each product.

2. By using the correct keywords and page titles you can help the search engines bring you traffic. More information on this in the guide.

3. By creating multiple reviews, you can cross promote among the whole site. People may come to your site for one thing but decide upon another.

Here’s an example: Build a site around the Credict Card niche. Write reviews of various credit card and loan companies, one per page, following the instructions in the Conduit report.  Ensure you link to affiliate programs for each product. Cross promote each page with one another.

Chris, the author of the Conduit Method, also released this “VIP Essentials” package recently:

Lazy Marketers VIP Essentials

There are various products included - but what is exciting is the Product Review Templates, specifically designed for Conduit Method sites!

This is a product from LazyMarketer.com called “VIP Confessions: The Conduit Method”.

It’s the kind of report that I love. Short on hype, long on fact - and it gives you a system and strategy that you can follow with real world examples.

You know there are many overpriced products in the Internet Marketing world and a lot of them are style over substance. What I like to find are realistic reports, that are rich in facts, include something that will work and is something that can help me increase my profits — or even start a whole new income stream itself. In short: This is a bargain.

This is a SIMPLE strategy. It’s LEVERAGED - so you are working off the efforts of others. And it’s about Affiliate Marketing specifically.

The Conduit Method relies on the fact most people looking to buy a product online already know what it is they want. And it’s your job to step in and offer it - in the simplest way possible.

I’m pretty excited about the ideas in the Conduit Method. I’m going to try my hand at the specific type of site it tells you about right away - and it won’t take me long…

Here’s an example of the power of this simple system, from the report:

Chris Rempel (the Author) made $5.061 in Commissions from a 12-Page site with PR0 with just 4,151 unique visitors.

Interested?

The Conduit Method is available at the link below, for only $14.95

I came across this product today being promoted by quite a few marketers. It’s a report that details a neat way to get traffic, and it only costs $5.

This traffic technique involves using Squidoo and/or Hubpages to focus on your niche.

It’s not just creating a quick page, it’s how you list and promote that page that counts. And by using Google you can find exactly where your page should be posted for maximum traffic and pagerank.

You can send traffic to almost any page using the system, but it works best for detailed search terms. If your lens or hubpage is built around a affiliate program, perhaps a clickbank product, then you can expect sales as well as traffic!

Of course, you could also funnel this traffic through a lens or hubpage back to your own main site or blog, and gain extra visitors or subscribers that way.

This is a short, really simple technique and it’s refreshing in that it’s not full of fluff and filler.

$5 Traffic Method

The reason so many people are promoting this? It pays 100% Commissions!

Try this method if you need traffic, the kind of highly targeted traffic the search engines deliver. It’s simple to use and if you feel it’s of no use, and even though it’s only $5, you can have a full refund.
