If you’ve been in the network marketing space for any length of time you have heard of Web 2.0. Some people have a pretty good idea what all this means while others are a bit fuzzy on the definition. But I think I would be safe to say that most of us are just a bit cynical as to whether it all really works.
Well here’s what I can say; if you have a strategy, you work that strategy, you’re not expecting to become wealthy overnight, and your willing to let the system work, great things can happen!
Below are 5 Web 2.0 strategies that work and are free. Use them wisely and your home business will reap the benefits of tons of traffic.
___Create a Plan…Using sites like Facebook, Squidoo, HubPages, can help you market and generate highly qualified traffic to your site. The idea on these site is not to use blatant sales tactics, rather build relationships and they will come to you. Join groups with similar interest, post on others walls, create pages that inform and help…build it and they will come!
___Create a Blog…I can’t stress enough the importance of blogging for traffic. Providing relevant content to your niche is a great way to generate a loyal following. Give your subscribers tips, ideas and even some controversy keeps them engaged and coming back. You should ping your blog every time you create a new blog post, and make sure you tag that post at social bookmarking sites like Digg, del.icio.us, and Technorati. These sites offer huge exposure for your blog.
___Social Bookmarking…the purpose of social bookmarking is to create backlinks to your blog or business opportunity website. By posting your site or post to Propeller, Digg, del.icio.us, and Technorati – just to name a few, will generate direct traffic to your site. You can use submitters like Social Marker to do all the hard work for you. They can submit to dozen of sites in minutes, boosting your traffic enormously.

Post regularly and make sure your adding value to the post, don’t just say “I agree”. You can use a service called Blog Lines to track new posts as they happen. Responding quickly to posts will increase your traffic immensely.
