In Overview Of Free Traffic Techniques we examined how to generate free traffic using a simple email signature and becoming a member of several forums related to your products. In this piece we’re going take a look at blogging and video marketing, two powerful traffic generating methods.

Your Own Blog
The Internet thrives on useful information. So why not provide some? There are literally hundreds of free blogging sites you can use to achieve that end. A couple of places to start might be Blogger and Word Press. You don’t have to be a great writer to get your message out there. You do need to offer useful information and come from the heart though. People have a way of sensing your sincerity.

If you really don’t feel up to it, you can find people to write for you. Post a free ad on the ‘writing gigs’ section of CraigsList. You may even be able to get someone to do it for free as there are new, but often decent writers looking for experience and recognition.

Video Marketing
Videos are huge online these days. And Youtube is the leader of the pack when it comes to free video services. It’s fairly easy to get started. All you need is a video camera and a script so you know what to say. Produce a short video (5 to 10 minutes) describing your product or service and upload it to Youtube.

If you’re running any recent version of Windows there’s a decent video program available to you called Windows Video Maker. And guess what? If you don’t know how to use it just yet, visit Youtube and do a search on it. You’ll find tons of videos that will walk you through the whole process from shooting your video to uploading to Youtube.

When you’re uploading your video you’ll be asked for some information that describes it. It’s important to know the common keywords associated to your business and your actual video. If you need a little refresher on keywords check out Getting Free Traffic Using SEO. The post describes how to optimize your web pages for searches. You’ll be looking to accomplish two objectives with this video.

One is, you’ll want to be picked up by the search engines so people looking for what you have can click directly from the search results to your video. The other is, you’ll want to be picked up by the search feature on Youtube’s site. The principles for optimizing both your site and Youtube’s search feature are virtually the same. Happy marketing!
