Traffic

Traffic starts with telling people about your blog. There are several ways to do this. I’ll list a few of them below and cover ‘how’ to do this later on. For now, this should give you some ideas to get started.

Word of mouth- obvious, but still very effective

Email- letting friends and family know will start the buzz

Articles- writing and submitting articles gets the news out and gives you backlinks for your search engine rankings

MySpace- authority site that has your sphere of influence as well

Squidoo- another authority site that search engines love

FaceBook- great way to get visitors from people that know you

Google- by using keywords people search for google will list you for free

Adwords- if you’re selling anything on your blog you can pay per click for visitors using google’s adwords

Yahoo- similar to adwords, but using Yahoo’s ppc platform

Forums- by posting good content on other forums or answering questions, you can leave a link in your signature that will attract visitors

Blogs- other related blogs are another great way to get quality, targeted traffic by posting your comments

More to come. Please leave your feedback…

Get a game plan

Here’s how it starts.

You get excited, spend some money and end up making nothing and you’re frustrated… right?

Well, I’m going to share a bare bones, right to the point game plan strategy to help you get started.

Here’s how it goes:

1. Decide on the niche you’d like to try (golf, weight loss, gambling, etc.)

2. Use Affiliate Elite to find a quality product on Clickbank in that niche.

3. Use Affiliate Elite to find a super affilaite’s ads and keywords.

4. Create a cloaked link for the product using Affiliate Link Magic.

5. Tweek their ads to run your own ad on google adwords.

6. If that brings a positive return, create (or hire someone to create) an ecover graphic for a video series or report that you can give away that’s in the niche and has good content.

7. Ad yahoo ppc to your ads.

8. Create your own product in the same niche with your own affiliate program through quickpaypro.

9. Use the same google and yahoo ppc ads to promote your own product and recruit affiliates.

Then take your affiliates to the Caribeans for a margarita on the beach to celebrate quiting your job!

Now go do it!
