Our guest expert for today’s show was Willie Crawford.

Willie Crawford was raised on a tobacco farm in North Carolina, living off welfare most of his youth. His family was so poor that he once wore his grandmother’s shoes to school while working to earn money to replace his only dilapidated pair.

This built a burning desire in Willie to break away from the poverty and build his own business. Willie is now one of the world’s leading internet marketing experts, having spoken at dozens of seminars in the United States, Malaysia, Singapore and the U.K.

Willie leverages his knowledge of online marketing, and the connections that he’s developed over the years to help others launch products. Willie often serves as a middleman or a joint venture broker.

He’s also Executive Director of The International Association of Joint Venture Brokers.

Willie has written several books including a best-selling soul food cookbook (featured in The Soul Food Museum in Atlanta, Georgia), and an inspirational biography, “Git Off The Porch.”

Willie shared some very interesting  traffic generation strategiesTop. One of the first things he suggested doing is to find and interview an expert, such as through a webinar or teleseminar, and record this interview, have it transcribed and create an ebook and sell as a product of your own or as a Private Label Rights product.

Another favorite tactic of Willie’s is through the use of video, not only posted at the usual video sites, but also on his blogs. The length of the video will depend, not only on the platform that it is posted to, but also the topic being covered or for instance, if the video is to promote a product launch or service.

Willie also suggested using your email marketing to remind your customers to return to your blog by having your message lead into a link back to your blog to complete reading the article and for additional information pertaining to the topic.

Willie also gave us some great examples for the use of podcasts, article marketing and press releases. One of sites that he was invited to partner with is Easy Push Button Traffic. Using their software system simplifies the process of adding your video, articles, press releases and podcasts to the host sites, saving you a great deal of time in the process.

Willie also had a special surprise for us today. He gave us a link to download a PowerPoint Presentation, for your personal use, that goes in to much greater detail covering Traffic Generation Strategies. There is a lot of great information in here and Willie shares some tips and techniques that you should begin implementing right away to increase and maintain a steady flow of traffic to your websites.

Willie provided us with a lot of excellent information today. If you were unable to make the live broadcast, head on over and download the replay. If you are having problems with getting traffic to your sites or need to turn up the volume, you will get some great ideas.

Thanks so much for joining us here and at the show.
