Default Forget website design. Here's how to REALLY get paid

Hi Glenn,

Everyone and their dog are jostling, clawing, and wringing their hands, whining about the terrible competition for website design business. The website designing business was good maybe four years ago.

Now because college kids are offering a hundred bucks (and sometimes less) to throw up a site for small business owners, there's not enough money in it anymore.

I know. I used to design websites for a living years ago.

Anyone can now go to places like http://www.dreamtemplate.com and for 60 bucks get unlimited downloads of awesome designs.

The college kids are making out like bandits by offering a hundred dollars. But why should you scrape and claw for a hundred dollars when you could easily make $1500. and more per client?

Here's how to clean up with websites for small businesses, and have customers almost throw money at you.

Every small business owner...and I mean EVERY business owner with a website, desperately wants traffic to that site. Sure, he had a site made because everyone else (read that, competitors) also have websites.

But this small business owner is secretly hoping that his website will somehow make him money. You're going to show him that it can.

Your services that you're going to offer this business owner is, traffic. He/she understands that nothing moves until a sale is made. It doesn't matter how pretty a website looks, if there's no traffic, it's as dead as a door nail.

Here's what to do:

Carefully choose the three most influential/prominent business owners in your town. You're going to send them traffic to their website for free...initially. When you do that you can now go to anyone in town and casually say that you were able to increase traffic to so and so bigshot's website by as much as 300 percent.

Do you think they'll listen to you? Of course they will!

But Uncle Brent, how do I quickly get traffic to a website?

Ok grasshopper, here it is.

First know that there are mainly two types of traffic:

The short burst that has a short shelf life, and the long sustained traffic that brings in customers over the long haul.

You're going to PROVE that you know what you're doing by bringing in a short burst over a short period, just enough to get 'ole Influential to sit up and take notice, and for you to be able to use his name.

How to Get a Tsunami of Traffic (at least 3000-4000 Visitors) Within One Hour
================================================== ====

The first thing that you need to do is to create a Twitter account.
Next, create a Wordpress blog with a separate domain name. You can get a cheap domain name registered at http://www.active-domain.com/

Next, install the wp-o-matic plugin to your newly created Wordpress blog.

Next, install another Wordpress plugin called Twitter Poster. You can do a Google for all these plugins, or simply go to the Wordpress site and grab them...they're of course free.

Ok, now for the next three days head over to search.twitter.com and make careful notes of the hot, hot trends. You should also do the same thing over at Google Hot Trends.
http://www.google.com/trends/hottrends

Ok, here's where it gets interesting.

Head on over to Google Blogsearch, and search for those hot topics that you noted at Twitter Search and at Google Hot Trends.

You're going to grab the RSS feed of each of those search results.

Next, copy and paste the web address of each hot rss feed into your blogs wp-autoblog feature.
http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?hl=en

Result?

You'll end up with having the hottest, most up to date trends on your blog.

Here's the thing...tons of people are going to use the extremely popular twitter real time search feature, locate your tweet, and click over to your site.

Just like that, hey presto you now have a swarm of traffic to your blog.

But Uncle Brent, how does that help Mr./Ms. website owner?

Remember that generic sounding domain name you registered for peanuts? Well just before you implement your traffic strategy, you'll call up the business owner and say you will prove you can get traffic almost out of thin air.

If you can prove that, will he allow you to also do the same for him. If you succeed, fine and dandy, strike a deal. If not, then no harm, no foul.

Show him web stats BEFORE implementing your strategy, and of course show him AFTER you're done a couple of days later.

If you do this simple technique, you'll have all the business you can handle. All you now need to do is to implement solid, long term traffic getting techniques as a consultant for $1500. a pop.

God loves you.

Brent Whinfield.
