A simple shortcut for boosting your traffic daily and even hourly is through list building. Maybe you have heard that the money is in your list and it is certainly true if you take the right actions!

Imagine having a few hundred responsive leads added to your autoresponder every day. How much more successful would your business be? Imagine having automated emails being sent out every day to each of your leads, sending you traffic on autopilot without you having to lift a finger. Would that mean a lot more sales for you?

7 out of 10 visitors who come to my site are unique visitors. These come in from my traffic sources like article marketing and pay per click advertising. What about the other 3 visitors? They are repeat visitors who come in from my follow-up emails and broadcast emails sent using my autoresponder! And as any hardened marketing expert will tell you, follow-up emails means increased sales for you!

So here are the 3 simple steps to create a traffic 'recycling' machine that works tirelessly for you day and night:

1. One of the best ways to reel in free visitors is through article marketing. Don't only think of article directories, think of submitting your articles all over the web including forums, Yahoo answers, ezines, blogs and Web 2.0 sites like Squidoo and Hub Pages.

2. Send all your traffic to an opt-in page that is solely dedicated to building your list. An opt-in page is a short page that usually has a headline, a couple of bullets and a subscription form.

3. Set up automated follow-up emails in your autoresponder that are sent out to your subscribers automatically at regular intervals. This is where you can send information to your subscribers and market to them hands-off. That's how you build an automated sales machine.
