Part of the guide: Blog Traffic
Increase traffic with these marketing tips mentioned below. You can use these strategies to build a solid customer base, create several streams of cash flow (if done correctly), increase your income consistently over time, and increase the quality of your life.
Social sites are taking over the way we communicate with each other, deploying viral relationship building almost on demand. The reach of connecting with individuals is virtually limitless compared to traditional marketing methods.
The fastest way to get traffic is to share your blog posts or Facebook notes via video creation on YouTube or Viddler that is keyword-focused, adding a description including a “call to action” to visit the site listed below the video that you want people to visit. Podcasts are an excellent alternative if you aren’t quite ready to do video.
Increase traffic by sharing your video, podcasts, blog posts, articles, and Facebook notes on your favorite social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, Google +, or LinkedIn. Remember to bookmark your content too!
Bookmarking sites such as Digg, StumbleUpon, and Tumblr are integrated into social syndication platforms like TribePro, OnlyWire, BuzzifyIt, or Social Oomph. These services will allow you to broadcast your message far and wide rather than to only your personal social networks. Your content is more likely to be shared by people who know you and recommend you to their trusted inner circle.
Creating backlinks to your blog or website by writing articles, spinning them for additional content, and submitting to various directories and authority sites like Ezine Articles or Hub Pages, will start building your list over time if you stay consistent. Remember to always have one main link that you’re driving your traffic to.
What’s the point in increasing traffic if you’re not capturing their attention and offering them value? We hear it all the time, optimize your list and convert your leads into buyers. For this to happen, you’ll need an opt-in form on your blog or on Facebook, a free value-based offer and an auto-responder email series.
Once you get your first lead using the methods above, you are now left with the task of delivering quality information using videos and podcasts sent via email, so that you can get the necessary message across. Most people prefer watching or listening rather than reading. You’ll want to stay in contact with the leads on a consistent basis so they get to know, like and trust you. The point is to always be marketing and sharing, but not always selling.
You will want to share new messages on various topics, inviting them to attend webinars, tele-seminars, meetings, new status updates, team training, and special offers. Add to the mix by always promoting something like product updates, specials, discounts, something you learned, or a product you’re recommending.
All these ideas can help you add value to your emails so you aren’t just “selling” to your list and your message never goes stale. Sharing other people’s content is also a great strategy if you want to promote team members and/or create an alliance.
Increase traffic to your blog in a systematic way by learning how the top earners do it and have all of the methods work like clockwork. Serious about taking your business to the next level? You’ll need to learn how to sell and what works and what doesn’t.
Always in service and prosperity,

Thanks for the tips! I’ve started using some of these strategies, and I’m already seeing an increase in traffic to my site. Great advice!

You have been paid late before
You have watched the number on the dashboard not match the number in your account. What is different now is simple: it settles on a public contract you can check yourself, not a dashboard I control.
Read the contract →Most participants earn little to nothing. No income is guaranteed. You can verify every payout on the public smart contract.
I never realized how powerful social media could be for marketing. I’ve been focusing on other channels, but I’ll definitely start using the strategies mentioned here. Thanks for the insights!

Creating backlinks is something I’ve been neglecting, but this post has really opened my eyes to its importance. I’ve started writing and sharing articles on various platforms, and it’s paying off in terms of increased traffic and better SEO rankings. The step-by-step approach outlined here makes it easy to get started, even for a beginner like me.

I appreciate the emphasis on delivering value rather than just selling. It’s easy to fall into the trap of constant promotion, but building trust and providing helpful content makes a huge difference. I’ve started incorporating more value-driven content into my emails and social media, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive.

The idea of using videos and podcasts to connect with the audience is something I’ve been hesitant about. However, after reading this post, I’m convinced it’s worth a try. The way you’ve explained it makes the process seem manageable, and I’m excited to see how it can help me engage with my audience on a deeper level.

Bookmarking sites were new to me, but I’m glad I found this post. I’ve started using some of the platforms mentioned, and I can already see the potential in reaching a wider audience. The tips on how to effectively share content across these sites have been particularly helpful.

Consistency in marketing is something I’ve struggled with, but this post has motivated me to stay on track. The strategies provided here are practical and easy to implement, making it easier to maintain a consistent presence online. I’m looking forward to seeing the long-term benefits of sticking with these methods.
Three posts a day. One email a day.
Everything I publish, in one short daily email. Real numbers, no hype, unsubscribe in one click.
Get paid 100%, on-chain, the second the sale clears
Most affiliates earn little, and that is disclosed up front. The difference here is not a promise about what you will make. It is that you can verify every payout yourself, on a public contract, in about twelve seconds.

Tried the bookmarking-site routine for six weeks — Digg, StumbleUpon, the lot, set up through one of the syndication tools mentioned. Weeks one and two, a nice bump in referral traffic. By week four the bump was gone and none of it had converted into a single opt-in. The ‘article spinning for additional content’ part in this post is the piece that actually explains why: spun content reads like spun content, and readers bounce off it fast.
The post claims backlinks from spun articles on directory sites ‘will start building your list over time.’ Worth being precise about the mechanism there: those are largely nofollow or low-authority links, and Google’s own guidance has treated article-spinning-for-links as a manipulation signal since at least 2011, the same year this was written. The traffic-to-list link this post asserts needs an opt-in step in between that spun-article traffic rarely completes anyway, so even setting the SEO question aside, the funnel math doesn’t obviously work. If anyone here actually tracked conversion from a spun-article backlink through to a confirmed opt-in, I’d genuinely like to see the number, because every time I’ve pulled the referrer data on traffic like this, it rounds to zero before it ever reaches the list.
2011 SEO advice aimed at 2011 SEO. Read the rest of it as history, not a plan.
Kelsey’s the only one here who actually ran the experiment and said plainly when it stopped working. That’s worth more than the whole tool list above it.
Small correction: Digg, StumbleUpon (now Mix) and most of the syndication tools named here — TribePro, OnlyWire, BuzzifyIt — have either shut down or been rebuilt entirely since this was written. Worth flagging before anyone goes looking for a sign-up page that no longer exists. The underlying advice, share consistently and bookmark, still holds regardless of which specific tool does it.
Half these tools being dead is almost beside the point where I am. Nobody in a county this size is on StumbleUpon looking for a feed store’s blog post regardless of whether the platform still exists. The list-building tail end of this post — get them to know, like and trust you — is the only part that survives moving from a city audience to a town where I already know everybody by name.
