What is “spaghetti marketing”? My meaning for this term can be distilled into one sentence.
Spaghetti marketing is the act of marketing ones websites and products in a seemingly disconnected way in order NOT to spend any money expecting that I may make some money in order to invest in my internet marketing business.
You see, I’ve spent a bit of money downloading products in the past which didn’t give me the results that I wanted. I didn’t get results because these e-books were so long – some were over 300 pages – that I didn’t have time to finish them. So I decided to go the free route as much as possible.
Actually, most of the things that I found were useful but they took a lot of time. Article marketing is one of the ways to generate traffic to your web site but after writing about half a dozen articles the ideas are coming slower. I’m sure my writing will pick up.
There are a few other ways I’ve been able to get more people to my web sites that I’ve learned from good people at the Warrior Forum. A lot of good advice and lot of them free. Like this thread by Todd Lamb and this thread by FlightGuy. These 2 techniques got my follower count at TwitterⓇ from 10 to almost 500 in three days.
I’ve commented on blogs which is another good way to get traffic but it’s random. I still don’t know if position in the comments section makes a difference or if it is worth commenting on old postings. I do know that writing a post mentioning someone else’s blog in it can get you back some “link love” as the link-back section is usually at the top above the comments at some blogs.
I’ve tried Free Traffic Exchanges too but that took a lot of time clicking through other peoples web sites which I wasn’t interested in to get credits so other people can click through mine. I bet most of them weren’t interested in mine either. I tried to market in Craigslist but they flagged me and deleted my ad for an affiliate product but they allowed me to advertise my free e-book. I wonder if they’ll allow me to advertise an email capture opt-in page?
It’s time to get serious.
