One    that that appeals to your target audience and is unique enough to stand out.&#160;&#160; You have to make the&#160; incentive for the new visitor very attractive and tempting. The bait should also represent your    site in the best possible manner<\/p>\n<p>Your offering&#160; should not be a one-off item as you don\u2019t want visitors    disappearing and not coming back. At the very least, you should <strong>   promote some recurring behavior<\/strong> on their end. I would recommend for the real estate investor that this takes the form of an email newsletter<\/p>\n<p>Here are some examples of bait you can set up for your website:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Well written and original articles<\/li>\n<li>An interview with someone of interest<\/li>\n<li>Free Report or resources<\/li>\n<li>Bargain Deals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Step Two: Send traffic to the bait<\/strong>.<\/h3>\n<p>Now that you have decided on what bait to use, you have to start to market it widely.&#160; I use the bait to market to build my retail buyers, wholesale buyers, private money lenders and motivated sellers lists .<\/p>\n<p>Here are some ways and sources you can use to send traffic towards your    bait:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Social media websites (networking\/voting\/news community sites)<\/li>\n<li>Niche forums and bulletin boards<\/li>\n<li>Emails to bloggers or webmasters in your niche.<\/li>\n<li>Payperclick advertising for your website<\/li>\n<li>Purchasing ads on well-trafficked and relevant websites<\/li>\n<li>Submission of articles to article directories and industry  <!--\/fms--> journals\/other blogs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Step Three: Build a Community and Repeat.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>After you have&#160; promoted your offer, you will need to&#160; set up a system that will to    follow up with your audience and produce additional follow-up material&#160; that fits their needs.<\/p>\n<p>I would suggest that you write&#160; articles or produce content that is similar to your bait.&#160;    The goal here is to immediately <strong>build a community<\/strong> <strong>   around your website<\/strong>. It doesn\u2019t matter how small your community is at    this initial stage.<\/p>\n<p>Analyze how your audience interacts with your site and responds to your    bait. After a period of time, create a new piece of bait and try to target new    audiences through the two steps above.<\/p>\n<p>The ratio for a new blog should be a <strong>30%    focus on content with a 70% focus on marketing<\/strong> and traffic growth.    You can write your heart out and create a stunning masterpiece but if no one    is going to see it, it is virtually impotent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Launching a new website takes lots of work.&#160; Building Traffic will take some work&#160; but you should know that whatever traffic building efforts you\u2019ve done serve as a foundation for all your future marketing. 3 Step Traffic Building Process<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":939,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.duncanwierman.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/837"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.duncanwierman.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.duncanwierman.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.duncanwierman.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/939"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.duncanwierman.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=837"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.duncanwierman.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/837\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4395,"href":"https:\/\/www.duncanwierman.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/837\/revisions\/4395"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.duncanwierman.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=837"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.duncanwierman.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=837"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.duncanwierman.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
