“Make $1000 per week by working only 1 hour per day!”

“Go from Zero to Hero in 7 days with NO Investment!”

“This Business-In-A-Box Will Make You $50,000 This Year, Guaranteed!”

Do all these sound familiar? I’m sure you’ve seen these ads when you’re surfing the net. These kind of ads or headlines are targeting opportunity seekers. If you are searching for opportunity seeker, then you probably will click on one of these ads and buy the products they offered.

An opportunity seeker is some one who are looking for an opportunity to make more money without spending much effort. Opportunity seeker wanted to make more money in the fast way, they believe that there are some kind of ’secrets’ where you can make lots of money in a short period and without much effort. When they try out an ‘opportunity’, and it doesn’t make them any money in the first week (or month), they will usually give it up and move towards other opportunities.

What you want here is not an opportunity for you to make easy money. What you want to have is a solid business that can last long enough, a business that can makes you earn a continuous flow of income. You want a business that can grow and expand where you will able to achieve your freedom, time freedom, financial freedom, and the lifestyle you’ve always desired.

Don’t wait for opportunity, create it! Yea, this is true, don’t wait for opportunity, create it. And don’t becomes an opportunity seeker, what you want is not an opportunity, what you want is a strategy to create a solid business which can bring residual income for you.

I’ve seen a lot of people becomes opportunity seeker and they bought a lot of products which promise to make them rich in just a short period. But in the end they end up with making no money at all. When there is a potential to make money, just like the internet, it will quickly flooded with opportunity seekers. Always remember this, there is no short cut to success, this will not work anymore.

Well, last time I’ve posted about using social sites like StumbleUpon can help you increase your blog traffic. You can read it here if you don’t know what is StumbleUpon, Tips To Increase Traffic. Yes, StumbleUpon or simply SU can bring you lots of traffic. But how? There are a lot of people who joined SU and hope to have tons of traffic flow to their site, but in the end they got no traffic at all.

So what are the tips and guides for you to generate tons of traffic from SU? I’ll assume that you have a SU account and you do know how it works. If you don’t, then please read Tips To Increase Traffic. Frankly, I’ve been using SU to increase my traffic for quite some time now. In the beginning, I don’t really get much traffic from SU, I get the traffic only for 1 or 2 days from SU. But now I receive quite a lot of traffic from SU, and of course, I’m going to tell you exactly how.

1. Join SU Discussion
What I mean here is you have to join those SU discussion out there. With this, you can let other people stumble your site, in exchange you will have to stumble other people’s site. It works like some kind of ’stumble exchange’. Just like for Technorati, you favorite me and I favorite you. The same concept goes for SU. Look for these kind of discussion in forums or any discussion board.

Do this everytime you’ve publish a new post. Let people stumble your new post. And don’t stumble your own site. Sorry that I cannot tell you any forum discussion or any board discussion where they have this StumbleUpon exchange, this is because it is not the right ethical to exchange stumbles. You will have to find out this for yourself.

2. Increase Your Mutual Friends
This is another very important task to do if you want to have lots of traffic from SU. The maximum numbers of friend in SU is 200, you must keep on looking for friends. When you have lots of mutual friends in SU, the traffic you can generate from SU will be huge. I know that it is not possible for you to have 200 friends in just one day. Even you can add all you want, but they not necessarily will add you back. Here is the hard part. You will have to figure out some way to increase your mutual friends.

My advice is, keep on messaging for other stumblers and ask them to add you. And keep on stumble other stumblers, but you must be careful, because you do not want to stumble just for the sake of it. If other ‘pro’ stumblers find out that you are stumbling just for the sake of it, they will leave bad review and stumble you down. This is what you don’t want to.

Therefore, the best way is to send message for other stumblers. If they notice, they will add you back. Use one month to do so, it will be kind of challenging, but its worth it. Leaving reviews also is another great way to increase the number of mutual friends. Remember, stumble everyone of your friends. (*You can stumble other stumblers when you free, however don’t keep on stumbling everyone in a short period of time, you have to stop for awhile. This is because people will know how many stumbles you have gave, and once they see that you are just stumble because you want people to add you, they will ‘warn’ you.)

3. Stumble All The Way
For this tips, it is easy, keep on stumbling, don’t give up and don’t stop. Stumble a lot pages and stumblers, and you will know the results. Give yourself one month time to do all these, and you will slowly see how traffic from SU flows in to your blog.

That’s all, the 3 tips how you can increase tons of traffic from SU alone. I believe that if you follow all the tips here, you can generate lots of traffic from SU. So now you know how you can generate traffic from SU, the more traffic you get, your blog can make more money for you.

Actually, I believe that everyone knows about this method of increasing your traffic. Simple enough, just put up your signature, and write some attractive words, then post some informative posts in the forum and you will get extra traffic.

Yes indeed this is how it works, but lately I’ve come across something that really open up my mind about increasing traffic using forums. Maybe you’ve knew about this, but for some people, they still don’t know this. Well if you have a website or blog to promote. You can go to some highly trafficked forums, just like :

The Warrior Forum
ABestWeb Affiliate Marketing Forum
Digital Point
Conquer Your Niche
Associate Programs
SitePoint

What you will need to do then is to make sure that you have a very seducing and powerful signature. And the best is if you can offer something FREE in your website. The easiest free gift you can create is an eBook. It can be short, simple. A 10 pages or less eBook will be just great. As long as they are free and informative. You can also build up a list to capture email list by using this method.

And now, the final and most important step, this will eat up some of your time to do so. Posting in all the forums mentioned above. Here is the idea, lets say that you make 5 posts everyday at each of the forums above. And for one month, you will have at least 30 x 5 x 6 = 900 posts total. Then assume that each of your posts will have 1 people clicking the link to your website in your signature.

You will have at least a 900 visitors, and what if a percentage of them turn into your subscribers? Maybe 500 of them? And you know what, each post yield 1 visitor is a very conservative calculation. Which means that, if you do this everyday, you can have a 1,000+ visitors after one month and don’t forget about your subscribers too. Amazing result right?

So this is how forums can help you build up your traffic and your list of subscribers. If this is to compare with article marketing, since both of the methods are free, you should go for two if you have the time.

A few posts everyday seem like very few, but through time and continuous effort, you can generate a huge traffic. Success is not a sprint, it is a marathon. Something big is often made up by lots of small thing through time.
