Update On Yesterday’s Rant:
Yesterday I kinda – sorta started off on a negative rant
about how some folks
are always expecting a new unheard of method of traffic
generation. I even went so far as to
post a picture of a disgruntled George Costanza next to my irate writings in an
effort to drive my point across.
Sorry about that.
An unfortunate side-effect of socializing on the Internet is
we don’t actually don’t actually see and face the people we are talking
to. Therefore, the real JERK comes out
of the person, sometimes like a demon possessed Linda Blair.
I’m not referring about my rant, or myself in this
case. The only reason I’m saying I’m
sorry is because I’m a nice guy overall, I just didn’t want anyone to think I
was trying to be rude. Nope, I’m talking
about people I bump into quite frequently on the Net.
My way of thinking is: if you’ve heard this all before, then
why are you wasting your time on my site? If you’re making loads of cash on the
Internet, then why, oh why, are you wasting your time commenting on a blog you
think is worthless?
Side Note: If you want a real quick lesson in how insane and
insensitive people can be on the Internet, just head on over to YouTube. You can watch a few videos of the way people
behave in a virtual world like Second Life.
(Just type in “Fight on Second Life” into the YouTube search field. Warning: don’t have children in the room when
you watch these.)
Just to Drive My Point Across…Again!
Yesterday I watched an excellent YouTube video called “Seven
Strategies for Building an Email List” which had excellent production value. The
speakers were articulate, knew exactly what they were talking about and made
their entire living doing Internet marketing.
However, there wasn’t anything new or earthshattering about
the information they were putting out.
It was all basic stuff that was talked about in a very intelligent
manner. I don’t care how many times I’ve studied these tactics, I loved the
clip and I HIGHLY recommend it. As a
matter of fact I’m embedding it here:
Focus On Creating Great Content
This is one of those traffic generating methods that most people
seem to skip. The problem with most people
that write blogs is that they get burned out after a while. On average, people that start blogging quit
after only a few weeks. Almost 70% won’t
make it to 6 months and only a handful will make it to several years of
blogging.
So, if you don’t love writing and creating valuable content,
then this method of traffic generation is probably not for you.
However, if you do like to write and can do it without
having to see any benefit for an indefinite period of time, then this is the
way you should go. Bear in mind that
nobody on the planet can tell you exactly how long it’s going to take before
you get noticed or the Search Engine Gods will grant you their Page One
blessings. This is one of those things
that just takes time.
Kill Two or Three Birds with One Stone to Get More Traffic Traction
If you write good, solid, sequenced content you can get more
traction from your posts. I would
suggest writing sequenced material like a book.
You can plan out your blog posts like a table of contents for a
book. Then, once you have a butt-load of
material, add a little more to it and turn it into an information product or an
E-Book.
You can then brand the E-Book with your Web address, contact
information or place your irresistible offer in it and either start selling it
or give it away. This way you’ll have
another traffic generating tool that’ll be out there in cyberspace working for
you and getting your message out there.
If you write a lot of great content, quite a few people will
take notice of you and begin linking and referring people to your site.
To Your Success!
