So what's a "Marketing Funnel"? And why do I need it? If you've got something to sell online, like a business opportunity, a service or a product, then the "marketing funnel" will be amazingly helpful for you to generate a massive amount of free traffic to your website. The marketing funnel is used by many of the big marketers across the net. Let me explain the analogy.

The narrow end of the funnel is your opt-in page or website, where prospects enter their email address and go through to make a direct sale. The wide end of the funnel is the catchment area, for all the potential online traffic coming from a wide variety of sources. If you build a very large, far-reaching funnel, you can drive an enormous amount of traffic.

So what makes up the wide end of the funnel? Mostly, this will only be limited by your imagination and how big you want the funnel to be. A powerful and productive funnel would certainly include some of the following areas: - - Social Media sites like Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and Orkut - Video Media channels such as YouTube, Metacafe, Viddler and Revver - Article Sites, eg. Ezine Articles, Article Base and Buzzle - Blogs like Blogspot, Wordpress and Wikis - Social Review Sites like Squidoo and Hubpages In addition to this, you may also want to consider the following; - Press Release sites like Free-Press-Release.com - Picture sites such as Flickr and Zoomr - Social Bookmarking and linking sites like Delicious, Digg, Stumbleupon and Propeller Because of the massive amounts of people who use these social sites, you're able to generate all the traffic youll ever need, simply by establishing and maintaining a presence on them.

It's all about putting out regular content to as many places as possible, always linking back to your opt-in page. This strategy will boost your appearance as an authority figure, build your online presence, and expose you to a never-ending supply of prospects for you business. And you can effectively leverage your time. For example, just one article can provide you with an incredible amount of content for all these different networks. An additional benefit of this system, is that it will vastly improve your search rankings for your main website in Google, Yahoo and others, due to all the back links. Once youre all set up, the time required will become considerably less and less. However, it will take some time in the beginning, to set up a quality social media traffic network. The biggest chunk of time spent will be in the initial set up of your accounts. After that, it's down to scheduling your time to add content on a continuous basis.

This is obviously not something that can be mastered overnight, but the more of it you do, the bigger the pay off will be. As you gradually build your funnel, you'll become very proficient at it, and you'll see results super fast. The more you do, the more you'll learn. You'll also find faster and easier ways to accomplish your main goals. With being on the networks for a longer period of time, there'll be a snowball effect. You will accumulate a gigantic amount of credibility and followers. Naturally, followers who like and trust you equals lots of traffic, which ultimately will lead to lots of sales and big profits. Which is ultimately, the name of the game! Wishing you Great Success, Graeme Stuart YourSuccessNetBiz.com
