Working on my first Cup ‘O Joe this morning :)
And I thought I’d share a quick case study with you…
One of the biggest questions I get from subscribers is:
‘How do I get traffic to my website?’
And today I want to solve that problem for you.
If you’ve struggled to get traffic to your
website, then pull up a chair because I’m
about to whip out the gravy.
Don’t get scared though cause I’m about
to go a little ‘Old School’ on you.
In fact, this traffic strategy that I’m
about to share with you is so simple
that it’s probably hiding right under
your nose.
This traffic source just recently sent us
92 visitors, 37 subscribers and 3 sales
in just ONE hour!!
Are you curious yet?
Lean in just a little closer…
I don’t like to give my secrets out to just
anyone.
Ok… you ready?
This golden traffic ALL came from ONE hour
of forum marketing.
I spent ONE hour providing value in 3 different
forums and in return I got 92 laser-targeted
visitors, 37 subscribers and 3 sales.
Sure… it’s not a windfall – but ANYONE can
do this.
And more importantly, if you’ve got a bit more
time on your hands you can scale this strategy
up even further.
Imagine if you spent 3 hours doing forum marketing.
You could triple your results!
Way too many people are looking for the shiny
new object when ‘Old School’ is still ROCKIN!

7 Most Opened Email Subjects (tested)
I was just thinking today how cool it would be
to have an expert team of traffic strategists
and ninja split-testers at your command.
Imagine what it would be like to have your
very own marketing lab full of mad scientists
who test and tweak your business for maximum
conversions and sales.
Just the thought gets me juiced with excitement!
Sitting behind your computer with a few switches
and dials that allow you to release a highly-targeted
flow of traffic at your command.
You can see I watched WAY too much
Pinky and the Brain when I was little :)
But…
The truth is that you CAN have this same
exact marketing firepower when you have
a list of highly-engaged subscribers.
In fact, I’m able to send an average of
3,000 clicks per email.
Now imagine being able to command that kind of
traffic. Sending 3,000 people to your latest blog
post. 3,000 people to a webinar registration page.
3,000 people to an affiliate promotion.
That’s the power that comes with doing email
marketing properly.
Unfortunately, there are VERY few marketers who
are doing email marketing the right way. And even
fewer who are teaching it.
More on that in a bit…
But first I want to drop a few golden nuggets on you.
I was rummaging through my Aweber account today
and found some subject lines that were dramatically
OUT-Performing the rest.

My Top 7 Traffic Sources
I’m currently getting 30,000+ visitors each and every month
and I thought I’d share where that traffic is coming from…
Enjoy!
And be sure to leave me a comment :)
1. Solo Ads – I used to be VERY hesitant about spending money
on traffic. I was ALL about driving free traffic. But you soon
realize that traffic is never really ‘free’. You’re going to
pay for it either with money OR time.
So when I got to the point in my business that I wanted to start
scaling things up, solo ads were my first paid traffic source.
This is about as non-risky as you can get when it comes to
paid advertising. With a solo ad, you’re sending a dedicated
email to someone’s ELSE’S subscriber list. So it’s laser-targeted
traffic and as long as you have your sales funnel setup correctly
you should be good to go.
Of course you always want to send people to your squeeze page
FIRST. Otherwise, you’ll be leaving a lot of traffic and sales
on the table.
Solo ads have now quickly become one of the #1 sources of
traffic in our business. And most importantly it creates
consistent, predictable lead flow.
2. Ad Swaps - Once you’ve grown a list of 500-1,000 subscribers,
you can then start leveraging that subscriber list to grow
even faster. You do this by ad swapping with other list owners.
This means that you’ll send out an email for another marketer
in your industry and they’ll send out a dedicated email for you -
often adding hundreds of subscribers to your list in a single day.
The biggest key to remember with ad swaps is that you want to
swap with like-minded entrepreneurs who are providing the same
kind of value as you. Also I would recommend keeping these
limited to 2-3 per month so you don’t wear out your list.
3. Guest Blogging – This is another one of our top traffic sources.
I’ve written for a number of different blogs in the IM marketing
including ProBlogger.net, SmartPassiveIncome.com, Rosalind Gardner’s
NetProfitsToday.com, FamousBloggers.net, and many others.
Not only do you get a nice windfall of very targeted traffic but
you also develop priceless relationships with the top people
in your industry.
4. Forum Marketing – This is an ‘Old-School’ tactic that still
works like gang busters! I’m always surprised how little people
really take advantage of this.
Forums are one of the very few traffic sources online where you
can literally start driving visitors in a matter of minutes.
The key here is to provide massive value to the community.
Give.Give.Give.
Create an enticing forum signature that leads people back
to your squeeze page and you’re set.
Also, I would recommend that you target the Top 3 forums
within your industry. You want to contribute to the most
popular forums with the most activity.
5. Social Media – This one is becoming a no-brainer now ‘a days.
But I think a lot of people still don’t realize HOW much traffic
you can get from sites like Twitter and Facebook when you do
it right.
Again the key here is to provide LOTS of value. Interact
and engage with the community. And you will be well rewarded.
6. Paid Advertising – This is similar to solo ads but instead
of advertising in other people’s newsletter you’ll be advertising
on their website.
Simply find related websites within your market and contact
them to work out a deal. Many website owners will have an
“Advertising” link on their website but I often like to
work out custom deals.
For example, in addition to buying a banner ad on a website, why
not also workout a deal where you’re content is featured on
their website as well. And now you’re getting exposure through
2 different avenues.
Lots of different things you can do with this so get creative!
7. Affiliate Traffic – Affiliates have been the #1 traffic source
in our business hands-down. Imagine having 100′s of marketers
driving traffic FOR you while you’re able to focus on higher
leverage activities in your business.
One of the best things I did was to create a 100% instant commission
affiliate program for the Traffic Dashboard. We had over 2,000
affiliates come on board and we we’re generating over 200+
subscribers per day for MONTHS off the back of it.
That’s the power of a strong affiliate program. It becomes a
self-perpetuating lead machine.
You can give 100% commissions on the front-end and generate
many multiples of that on the back-end.
But what it does is it take care of ALL of your traffic needs.
Your affiliates will do all the hard work for you.
and I thought I’d share where that traffic is coming from…

My 10-Step Strategy for Getting 1,000+ Views on EVERY Blog Post
Creating great content alone will NOT bring traffic to your blog.
In fact, creating world-class content is just the first step.
Content is just the entry fee.
The next step is content promotion!
Without it, even world-class content will sit around like a lonely red-headed step-child.
If you want traffic – you’ve got to get in the trenches!!
Get a little dirty :)
Fortunately, I have a step-by-step strategy that we use here at BuzzBlogger.com for getting 1,000+ views on EVERY blog post…
Step 1: Submit your article to Twitter and Facebook.
This should be a no-brainer by now.
Social media is making it easier to share and spread your content than ever before. EVERYONE online now has a circle of influence that you can tap into IF you’re providing massive value.
By submitting your blog post within your own social networks you’ll be able to spark that initial momentum to get your first hundred visitors.
And if you dedicate yourself to creating truly epic content, sites like Facebook and Twitter can quickly become a traffic powerhouse for you.
Step 2: Share Your Content on Popular Blogging Community Sites.
There are a number of communities online where you can submit your content for instant exposure.
Some of my favorites include BlogEngage.com, Blokube.com, BizSugar.com, ImNewsWatch.com, Inbound.org, Serpd.com, FamousBloggers.net (Community News Section), and MySEOCommunity.com.
Of course these sites will be different for each market.
But like any online community – the key is to provide VALUE to others FIRST.
So before you start blasting your own articles to the site – ENGAGE with the
community. Share OTHER people’s articles first. Comment and start building relationships.
Once you’ve done that, then you can start sharing some of your own stuff.
But get in the trenches first!
Provide value FIRST and you will reap MUCH greater rewards for your efforts
and from the community.
Step 3: Submit your article to blogs with a ‘Community News’ Section.
There are hundreds of blogs online that will allow you to share your latest blog post in their “Community News Section”.
Here’s a more complete list of popular sites where you can submit your tutorials for tons of extra exposure, traffic, and backlinks.
This will get you AT LEAST an additional 100+ visitors.
Step 4: Submit Your Post to JustRetweet.com.
JustRetweet is a social sharing community. It’s kind of like a huge blogging alliance that works together to promote each others content.
You get credits for retweeting other people’s blog posts – which allows you to do the same.
It’s a great little service where you can get at least 20 retweets to get some additional momentum.
Step 5: Automate your social media posting via SocialOomph.com.
Once you have published some new content on your blog – put your social media marketing on autopilot with something like SocialOomph.com.
This allows you to automate tweets to go out throughout the day.
Now obviously, you’ll want to engage and interact on Twitter yourself.
But there’s nothing wrong with pre-loading 30 tweets to be released throughout the day. This way you can continue to promote your latest blog post along with other articles, older posts, quotes, golden nuggets, and interesting tid bits.
You can also automate your tweets inside WordPress with something like Dashter.com.
Step 6: Contact related Scoop.it & Paper.li pages.
These are content aggregators that pull together the very best content on thousands of different topics. As a content creator, you can search for your specific topic and submit your latest article to the creator of that particular Scoop.it or Paper.li page.
But remember – it must be really good content. These pages are collecting the best of the best from around the web.
Step 7: Kickstart your promotion with a Facebook ad, StumbleUpon ad, or an affordable solo ad.
If you want to kickstart the momentum of your post you can purchase a small ad buy on Facebook or StumbleUpon. With StumbleUpon you can get clicks for just 10 cents per visitor. With Facebook you’re going to spend a little more but you also get a much more targeted visitor.
My last ad on Facebook cost 56 cents per click.
You could also just purchase a small solo ad of 100-200 clicks to start things off.
This gives you that initial momentum to get your blog post going viral. Once your blog post hits a tipping point – it spreads quickly via social media.
Step 8: Submit your blog post to popular Link Roundups.
Here’s a cool traffic trick for you…
This one is super simple and can bring you hundreds of extra visitors. What we’re going to be doing is getting your blog post published in Weekly Link Roundups.
Link roundups are basically where blogger’s post their favorite links and articles
each week in what’s called a Link Roundup. These are generally a collection of their favorite blog posts from around the blogosphere.
One of my favorite Link Roundups can be found at Kikolani.com.
I was actually listed in her most recent issue of Fetching Friday..
Here’s how it works…
You start by finding Link roundups within your market.
Simply type in the following search queries on Google:
“Daily Link Roundup”
“Weekly Link Roundup”
“Monday Link Roundup”
“Friday Link Roundup”
“Link Roundup”
If you want to find blogs that are specifically related to your market, then you
can add a modifier. Something like:
“Weekly Link Roundup” + marketing
“Weekly Link Roundup” + moms
“Weekly Link Roundup” + parenting
You can also use these same queries on sites like Google Plus or Twitter Search.
This will give you a list of related blogs that do weekly link roundups.
Best of all, there are thousands of blogs that do these link roundups on every imaginable topic.
Now here’s where you come in…
Once you’ve found a related blog that does link roundups you can then contact the blog owner and send them a link to your latest blog post.
If you’ve published truly great content, then there’s a very good chance that they
will link to you in their weekly link roundup.
This is an extremely powerful technique that I see VERY few people using online.
But it’s super simple and can send you lots of highly-targeted traffic.
Step 9: Email Your Blogging Alliance.
This is probably THE most important step for promoting your blog post.
Blogger Outreach.
Connecting with others is one of the fastest ways to grow your business.
Plus, it’s just a lot more fun!
A blogging alliance works is a group of related bloggers that work together to grow their blogs faster. Plus, it’s a great group to talk to about all the geeky stuff that your family doesn’t understand :)
You’ll want to continuously look for ways to GIVE value to other’s FIRST.
Retweet their content. Share on Facebook. Comment on their blog.
Engage in their world and give value at every opportunity so that they start noticing your name.
Then once you have a top-notch blog post that you’d like to promote – simply
reach out to them with a short, personalized email.
Also… don’t just chase after the BIG fish. The smaller bloggers can also be VERY influential and they’re easier to contact.
When you have a REALLY good post that you’d like to go viral – I would encourage
you to email at least 100 other bloggers with a short, personalized email.
Don’t ask for a retweet. That’s not cool. Instead – focus on them first and a particular blog post that you like of THEIRS. And then mention your own and why it might be of interest to them.
We used this exact strategy on our last blog post to generate 100+ Retweets and 100+ Facebook likes.
By this point you should be well over 1,000+ views :)
Step 10: Retargeting via AdRoll.com
Now that you have all of this traffic – you want to make sure you maximize EVERY visitor that you’ve worked so hard to get.
On our blog we convert an average of 13% of our traffic into subscribers.
But that means that 87% of our traffic is lost.
However, we can recapture that traffic through a form of advertising called retargeting (also known as remarketing).
If you’ve ever had a banner ad to ‘follow’ you around the web – then you’ve experience retargeting in action.
Retargeting allows you to capture those who don’t purchase or subscribe on your website.
Your banner will then point them back to your squeeze page where you can convert them into a subscriber and start establishing a deeper relationship.
Use this 10-step plan correctly and you will generate AT LEAST 1,000+ Visitors to EVERY blog post.
How to Profit From New Facebook Ad Campaign Structure
If you use FB Ads to drive traffic to your pages or websites and are
unsure how to navigate the latest set of changes then this post is for
you!
Over the last few weeks FB have been updating the ad platform to
streamline their campaign structure and I have to say this is a welcome
change over here at the Online Marketing Addicts HQ!
Anything that makes a task quicker and easier works for us and that’s exactly what this last little change has done.
As I write FB have just made another announcement about restricting the amount of organic promotional posts that will show up in the newsfeed so understanding how to run ads is more important now than ever.
Here’s a video walking you through how to create a ‘Page Post Ad’ using the new campaign structure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=aaHBnXmkDX4
I hope this helps!

How to Choose an Internet Marketing Mentor
Awe a big question I see getting asked quite a bit, “How do I choose an internet marketing mentor?”Bill & I have been in the industry for about 4 years and maybe that doesn’t seem like a long time but I can say we have definitely experienced quite a bit & have seen quit a bit.
When we first started out, we fell victim to REALLY good marketing and wasted quite a bit of money to those “so called” internet marketing mentors for not much value.You know those kind of marketers right? Those who make big bold claims, but under deliver.
This is one of the BIG reasons why Bill and I are committed to just being “us”, no fluff, no hype, just a husband and wife team committed to helping people achieve success by teaching them what works in our own business, so they can implement it in their own business.
Maybe that puts us at a disadvantage to the hyped up marketers, but in the long run ,we know integrity and social proof will win out.
You see in the internet marketing industry, there are a lot of people that we see, who are blindly following the so called “gurus”. You know who they are….the people who talk the talk, but don’t actually walk the walk.
They call themselves, experts, mentor, coaches, etc….
We have even seen people say they are generating over 1oo leads a day, making over 20K a month, recruiting over 50 people a month in their business and we know the truth, only because we have been around the flag pole for over 4 years now & know what to look for.
But how can a brand new person know the truth?
How can a brand new person decipher between the qualified mentors and the non qualified mentors?
Bottom line, how can you choose the right internet marketing mentor?
My advice if you are new and trying to figure out this whole internet marketing game.
First recognize that you are inexperienced and new, it’s okay.
Secondly, make sure that the people you choose to work with are actually reachable and you can talk to them via email, skype or phone.
Third…work with people who honestly have your best interest at heart.
On a side note don’t expect your mentor to reach out to you, it’s a two way street. They can not read your mind….so if you need help, then you have to take action and reach out.
Now the hard part….who is that person?
Who can you work with and trust?
When we first started out, we had lost money to people who we thought was an internet marketing mentor & would help us get from A to Z. So after a few times of making this mistake, we had to be very careful who we chose as our mentors.
We began looking for people who were actually walking the walk and not just talking the talk. If we wanted to learn blogging, we made sure we found someone who was actually reachable and had proven results. We also looked for a mentor who was actually “in the game” and not just teaching outdated techniques that they were not even being used in their own business.
The process takes some research and takes time, but it’s definitely worth it when you find that right internet marketing mentor.
Here’s a brilliant example for of the kind of coach we have on our MOBE team – who also just recently gave his MOBE-funded Mercedes to his wife:
We have grown to love and respect Mike. Notice how he isn’t flashy and notice how he is telling his story in this video, without trying to act as if he is something he is not. He is REAL :).
He is one of the many highly trained coaches at the company we are partnered with at MOBE.
He is experienced, very good at what he does, makes substantial money as a MOBE coach, and as an affiliate on the side, makes affiliate commissions. He has a proven track record. Bottom line, he doesn’t just talk the talk he is walking the walk.
Now I am not giving this example for you to go run to Mike and hire him, but I give this as an example of what we look for in a mentor.
Our original mentor shared the same kind of story. He knew what it was like to be new and struggling, he was actively in the game of marketing, he worked hard to build trust with his following, he was and is REAL, he was reachable, and most of all he walked the walk.
Wherever you are in your business if you are struggling to find the right internet marketing mentor, we can help.
By now hopefully you know our story. You know we walk the walk, we are REAL, we are actively marketing, we work hard to build relationships and trust, we are reachable, and most of all we KNOW what it was like to be frustrated, lost and struggling.
Bill and I work hard to represent a program that offers mentoring and gives us a way to work with our partners.
At MOBE that’s one thing we can promise you. You will get us and you will get coaching with the 21 step program.
You won’t be working with some inexperienced guy, who just talks the talk making minimum wage. Instead you will be working with highly trained 6 & 7 figure earners.
There will be no fast paced, high pressured sales. Instead you will have the opportunity to work with a highly skilled coach, who will show you how to get results, as you will be guided by competent & skilled marketers who have a proven ability to get results. Additionally you will also get access to Bill & I and private Facebook mastermind group.
Check out this video below showing proof that average everyday people do get results when they have a highly trained coach to work with.
You see the only way people like this can consistently make commissions is by having a great coaching program in place.
So when you are ready to get coached and work with Bill and I we are ready for you.

How To Grow Your Email List on Facebook
Facebook is a hot marketing method but many marketers are leaving money on the table by not actually growing their email list on Facebook. When you choose a marketing method, whether it be Facebook, YouTube, Ad Words, etc., you need to not just focus on the sale but also on building a massive list. Facebook is a great place to do that and today I am going to show you how to grow your email list on Facebook in 2 simple steps.
1. An Offer – You need to have an offer set up in order to capture your audience’s email. I use Lead Pages to create our offers, because of their wide variety of templates and the interface is user friendly.The process should look similar to the capture page below, I have running right now on Facebook. Notice I have an irresistible headline and an option to opt in to get my FREE offer. Once someone opts in to my page, I will get notification from my autoresponder that a lead has opted in and that’s the goal.
Anyone can create a FREE offer in the form of a simple PDF report, video report, ebook, webinar, etc… Doesn’t need to be anything fancy unless you are an expert at being fancy, it just needs to have value to it.
This report, on the other side of this capture page, took me about an hour to put together and it is generating us over 100 leads a day via Facebook Advertising. Here’s the full page for more details, Click HERE
2. Promote Your Offer – Now it’s time to take your offer you created and get it in front of your target audience. In the capture page example above, it would make sense for me to target an audience that would be interested in using Facebook to build their business. Initially you would want to post this on your Facebook Fan Page but most likely, unless you have a highly engaged audience, you probably won’t get much reach to your fans.
Therefore, your next best step would be to create a Facebook Ad and drive traffic to your FREE offer by targeting a specific audience that you know would be interested in your offer.
There are several types of ads I recommend. One is a page post engagement ad, where you create a status update on your Facebook Fan Page, then in your ad manager you create a page post engagement ad promoting your status update. Again…..choose your target audience that would be most likely to opt in to your offer. This is usually the area that will make or break a good ad.
The second type of ad you could create is a clicks to website Facebook ad. In your ad manager you would choose the clicks to website option and insert the URL of your capture page you want to promote. Again….you would need to choose your target audience in this type of ad also.
These two types of ads are the most profitable for promoting your offers, but there are many free strategies you can use, just understand that your conversions will be a lot lower or quite possibly you will receive no conversions.
The days of free strategies are pretty much gone on Facebook as now it’s more about are you willing to pay to play.
You see growing your email list on Facebook is quite simple when you understand the steps. Remember, it’s not just about pitching your products on Facebook to the entire world hoping someone will bite. It’s about cultivating and building relationships with your audience. Once they start to get to know you, like you and trust you, they will buy from you.
Always lead with value first, get your audience on your list, then start the process of selling your product and/or opportunity.
On a side note there are some tools that a beginner reading this post will need.
1. Auto responder – I recommend Aweber
2. Capture Pages – I recommend Lead Pages
3. Facebook Fan Page – This is so you can run News Feed Ads
4. Course – If you are getting bogged down on Facebook Ads, I recommend our latest Facebook Course, Click HERE
Easy Fast Free Traffic Method – Social Media Autoposting
I must say that this will only work if you have a wordpress blog and if you post content to your blog on a regular basis. We are going to use a wordpress plugin called SNAP (social networks autop poster) for this method.
What does the SNAP plugin do?
So the first thing you might wonder is: what does this SNAP plugin actually do so i can get free traffic?Well it’s fairly simple, the plugin will post updates about your new blog posts on all the major social networks and social bookmarking sites. And i’m not talking about just a couple, there’s a huge list of sites you can connect your blog to, and this plugin will automatically post to these sites with a link back to your blog post.
Now that’s pretty cool don’t you think?
At first i just installed this plugin in order to automate updates on my social media profiles. As you know, this can be a really annoying job if you have to all of this manually, and there’s really a lot of social media sites!
So after the initial set up, every time you post a new piece of content, it will be added to all your profiles. At first i thought, oh well this might be good to get some social mentions (which is good for Seo it seems) and i didn’t have very high hopes it would be very beneficial otherwise, except to automate the whole thing.
Well a couple of weeks after i started using the plugin, and writing just 1-2 blog posts a day which automatically got added to all the major sites, i noticed i got about 10-50 unique visitors every single day from social sites!
Now as i mentioned, this is not server crashing traffic, but why wouldn’t you install the plugin if it brings in free traffic right?
So in this training article i’m going to give an overview of how to set everything up, and give you some tips in order to benefit from this plugin even more! And on top of that, i’ll share with you a great strategy on how you can turn this method into a long-term anf profitable business model. So if you’re ready, let’s dig in!
Connecting your social accounts to the SNAP plugin
Alright you can download the plugin free from WordPress and upload it to your WordPress site. If you’re not familiar with the process, here’s how you can do that:First download the SNAP plugin here:
After that you can upload the zip file in your WordPress dashboard here:
Alright so after you have uploaded the SNAP plugin, it’s time to connect it with all your social media profiles. As i mentioned this will take a couple of hours of your time (took me about 2-3 hours to connect 10+ accounts), but the good things is that the instructions are super easy to follow.
See when i saw i had to create apps for numerous social media platforms, i though oh this thing will be complicated. But it really isn’t though because each integration comes with a step by step instruction manual, which is one of the best i’ve seen so far when it comes to changing the settings of WordPress plugins. (and i’ve seen a lot i can assure you that…:) )
So this is how the page looks where you can connect all your social media profiles to the plugin:
As you can see i have already connected most of my accounts, so for you this page will be empty, but when you click the “add new account button, you’ll come to a new screen with drop-down menu where you can choose which accounts you want to add:
Now this is just an example for the Blogger platform, because i have already all the other social media accounts, but all screens to connect your social media platforms look quite similar, and the instruction manual is only a click away.
Posting to social media accounts using the SNAP plugin
So after you have added all your accounts, you’re basically set. Now all your new blog posts will be published automatically to all your accounts, and i don’t have to tell you the huge amount of time you’ll be saving using this plugin.I have set mine to autopost as soon as i publish a new post. Here you can see the settings for that:
As you can see there’s also an option to schedule your posts, but i don’t think that’s really necessary to play with. Well at least that’s just my opinion. If you don’t want to autopost a certain post to your social media profiles, there’s also an option to disable that on the page where you create and publish your post. So that’s fine by me.
So i have tested it out with one of my previous posts, and the results are great, here you can see that:
Autopost on Facebook:
Autopost on Twitter:
Autopost on Linkedin:
Autopost on Stumbleupon:
So as you can see, you can easily publish your new published blog posts on all the major social media platforms on full autopilot. And more importantly, it looks exactly as if you would have done it yourself (nobody will ever know!)
Using the SNAP plugin to make some good money
Now as i promised, i’m going to give you some additional tips on how you can use this SNAP plugin to make some really good money indeed. For this you’ll need the PRO version though, as the free version will only allow you to use it for just one blog (plus some platforms aren’t supported such as Pinterest, which isn’t too big of a deal for me though).Anyways, as i told you, by using this plugin i was able to generate 10-50 unique visitors in a matter of weeks. And to clarify, this was in the internet marketing niche, which isn’t the best niche really to get traffic from social bookmarking sites. So i highly suggest you pick a niche which will allow you to create content that can go viral.
What you do is create a bunch of high quality blogs, and add content to those blogs on a regular basis. You can either write the content yourself, or you can outsource part of the content creation. But if you put in some effort, you can easily create 5-8 pieces of high quality content every day.
So let’s say you create 5 pieces of content yourself, and you outsource 5 articles to professional writers. If you need writers, just check the Warriorforum, in the “Warriors for hire section” you’ll find a bunch. So this means you can start building 10 blogs.
Now here’s the thing, you won’t build these blogs to keep, but you’ll flip them instead. Blogs with traffic and some income can easily sell for hundreds of dollars, and as you know by now, this plugin will allow you to drive traffic to each new blog you create. So here’s the plan and some additional tips:
Use catchy blog titles
No matter what niche you choose (hobby niches preferably), you need to use catchy blog titles. You simply need to entice people to click through to your site when they see it on social bookmarking sites and social media.So instead of using a blog title like:
“How Can You Lose Weight”
Use a blog title like:
“Discover 3 Revolutionary Weightloss Techniques”
You need to add a little curiosity in the mix, and that will allow you to get more people clicking through to your site.
Another tip is to use very interesting pictures for your blog posts. It’s a fact that more people will want to check out your site if you have a picture that has the quality to go viral.
