More Web site Traffic With This challenge
Can You Succeed With Getting More Web Site Traffic With my Challenge?
In my earlier post we talked about how Traffic+ copywriting+product= Internet Business Success.
So, we all know that in the core of it all, traffic is the most essential thing to a successful Internet based businesses. Aside from ensuring that you have a great product to sell, and you have good copy well taken care of, it would be time to get to the nitty-gritty of things, generating traffic.
If you check out marketing forums, all you hear is one complain “Getting traffic is HARD”. Well, I leave the whiners and moaners alone. If you want to succeed then you better read on.
So I decided to put together a complete tutorial on getting more traffic. It’s going to be a 30 day challenge. Of course it’s going to be hard work. (On side note, if you are not ready to work hard in business, then you better stop wasting your time.)
What You Need for this Traffic Challenge?
1. Grit, Hard work and Patience.
2. A blog (If you STILL don’t have a blog, shame on you)
3. Onlywire.com account (and access/login to all the social networking Websites)
4. Stumbleupon account.
5. 30 Articles
6. A Keyword Research Tool (Ideally word tracker, get a 1 day subscription with wordtracker)
7. Start this Challenge Tomorrow on sunday Or any Week end (or any day where you have whole day off)
Step 0 : Getting The Boring Job Done First.
First step is to get the boring job done. If you don’t have Onlywire.com account and other social networking sites account. Then create one. It’ll take you about 1/2 hour to do so. Hint: Use same login and password for them.
NOTE: Install All in One SEO pack on your Blog.
Create account on these article directories.
ezinearticles.com
goarticles.com
searchwarp.com
ideamarketers.com
Step 1 : Keyword Research with Wordtracker
We are going to start with researching your keywords. Fire up wordtracker and start researching on your keywords. I want you to focus on keywords with 3 or more words in it. i.e You’ll not search for weight loss, you’ll look into keywords like “weight loss after pregnancy”. That’s a 4 word keyword.
You have better chances of getting traffic with this keyword than with the other one. You are supposed to gather at least 40-50 keywords. If you think you can’t find that many words then use thesaurus. Find different keyword combinations.
Think like a normal person looking for information about your topic will search on search engines.
Here are 3 part tutorial I wrote for 30 Day Internet Marketing Challenge.
1. Day 3 : Sink or Swim : keyword research Premier
2. Day 3 : Relation with Themed Keywords and Latent Semantic Analysis(LSA)
3. Day 3: Mining the Goldmine (Long Tail Keywords)
Step 2: Start writing articles focussed on your long tail keywords as researched in first step
This is the exactly the reason I asked you to start this challenge on Weekend (or off day). You need more time today to write articles. I’d suggest you to write at least 7 articles today. If you can write more articles then more power to you… But 7 is minimum number of articles you should write… I’d prefer if you could write 14…
I’d like you to submit/post 1 article per day for next 30 days.
Pick 3-4 different Keywords that you want to focus. You’ll be writing an author box with these keywords with backlink to your blog in it. As you might have guessed we are going to submit articles with Author bios with link to your website or blog.
Step 3 : Post 1 Articles/Day on your blog.
You have to write 1 post per day on your blogs. There is no workaround on this. Again focus on those keywords while posting.
Step 4 : Submit 1 Article Per Day.
I gave you list of 4 article directories that you can use to post. Google tends to like ezinearticles & searchwarp and yahoo goarticles. So that’s why we are focusing on all the 4 directories.
Now here comes the twist. You are going to re-write your articles and post almost unique content to each of these articles.
Eh, Eh… EHHHH……
I know, I know it’s work… but its more fruitful. That’s your only chance of getting more backlinks & targetting multiple keywords without worrying about duplicate content. If you cannot spend much time, then at least re-write for goarticles and ezinearticles.
For more info on how to re-write your articles, Read “Why your bum marketing sucks“.
step 5 : Use Onlywire to Submit your pages to social networking sites.
Last step in this tutorial is to submit your blog post to social networking sites on daily basis. That’s why You have to use onlywire.com to bookmark your blog posts. It’d help you if you are writing good blog post.
How much time you’ll spend on this?
Lets say you start on weekend Saturday. You spend 1 hr on researching your keywords and then 3 articles per hour. You spend 3 more hours writing 9 articles.
So far you have spent 4 hrs on first day. On sunday you again spend 3 hrs writing 9 articles, you’d end up with 18 articles in 7 hours.
Writing 1 blog post every day (maximum time 20 minutes) , Rewriting your already written articles 4 times (10 minutes per article = 40 minutes). That’s total of 1 hr. Submitting your articles, bookmarking posts etc will take you extra 10 minutes.
So in total you are spending 70 minutes per day. For next 30 days. Plus 5-6 hrs on weekend. Of course as you gain experience you’ll be cutting your time down.
This is hard work, that’s why I called this a challenge. If you follow this very simple plan you’ll have 30 blog post, 120 articles distributed around the net.
Getting traffic is simple. All you need to do is create more entry points for your websites.
Traffic + Copywriting + Product = Successful Internet Business
Traffic + Copywriting + Product = Successful Internet Business
If you go over to James Brausch’s blog at Jamesbrausch.org, you’ll be forced to read the above formula. Frankly speaking this formula sums up everything you need to know about succeeding in business.
If you are missing any of the elements you’ll not succeed. Any other combination will never work. But still people are TRYING hard not to complete this formula. They are either spending too much time on copywriting or on creating product or may be trying to get traffic.
Copywriting + Product = No Success
Traffic + Product = Low success
Traffic + Copywriting + = No Success
This goes back to my old post about “Doing One Thing”.
Learn One way to create products In James case, You’ll see he has tons of Audio/Video/Software products. In my Case it’s the Ebooks and Audio. I gave very simple advice to create product in my old posts. Read How to create Products in less than 60 minutes.
Learn One way to Generate traffic Again I have used 2-3 techniques and got tons of traffic to my websites. Just pick one way first and learn how to do it consistently. If you listen to my podcast on Dirty little Secret than you’ll know I discuss about a guy who made $800 in his first month ever.
Learn one way to write copy. Rather than jumping from one copywriting product or copywriting methodology to another. You are better off with only learn One way to creating copy. As for me, I try to follow QUEST method that Michel Fortin explains. More on his 7 Step copywriting formula.
I think no one has explained the Internet business as easier than this.
Get Traffic. Create product Add good copywriting and you are off to your first success.
