When joining the blogging kingdom membership site you did a huge step into starting a blogging empire business. I am now going to show you some great methods that I am using, all tested and will surely work for any kind of blog. Try out the ones that you think will work best.
Linking
Every good blogger links to other blogs. Link to other posts and they will mostly link back. Do link exchanges with other blogs that are popular. Don’t take every spammy “can we exchange links” email that arrives.
Banner Exchanging
You can always exchange banners with other fellow bloggers that will gladly do that. Also you could buy some advertising space on famous blogs in your niche to target the right traffic and get some real visits.
Yahoo Answers
Answer on many yahoo answers question. Go to answers.yahoo.com and start posting comments. Include helpful comments and a backlink to your site. I usually open up notepad, write my signature and then save and copy is. After each reply I paste it. Reply to 1000 questions and you’ll see real traffic.
Commenting
I shouldn’t mention how great blog commenting is. Hundreds of bloggers gather on some famous post and read comments. Also there are “Top Commentator” lists on many blogs that will give a link back to your site. Whenever I comment on blogs the average each of them delivers me is 10 visitors. Seems not enough? You can just comment on 100 blogs and that will turn into 1000.
Mass Mailing
There are people that worked hard to collect Emails from people that signed up for their lists. I usually go and pay someone to send them an email. Those lists have thousands of emails and with one click of a button they will be sent with your url and blog review. People will probably open their inboxes, read their email and visit your site.
Entrecard
A hell of a lot worth website to visit and sign up. Go to entrecard.com and sign up. You should have a cool 125 banner to sign up. Then the traffic will roll in from members that are dropping their cards and you can also do that on their blogs.
Forums
One of the best ways to target traffic is by using forum signatures. There are forums in your niche and members of those forums are probably interested in the content of the niche. That means that it’s full of targeted traffic! Go for it. Be useful to members, post often and traffic will follow.
Exchanges
Traffic exchange sites are sites where people go to get traffic and visit other people’s websites, in exchange they get traffic to their site from other members. This is not a crowd of targeted traffic like forum traffic but it definitely works.
Reviews
Being reviewed from other blogs in the same niche as mine is great. The subscribers of the blog that reviewed mine will probably visit my blog as they subscribed to a blog in the niche in hope that they will find more information. Reviews can be a bit pricy on bigger blogs but there are pay per review networks where you can find good blogs to get reviewed. This is a paid option to be considered.
Tell all your msn buddies
If you have a bigger list of people on msn then you should consider sending them a message including your site url but making sure that they don’t block you or take it as spam.
Social Bookmark Sites
Social bookmark sites mean a float of traffic for your site! Digg.com currently ranks in the top 100. Frontpage: MASSIVE traffic. Here’s how you can get to the frontpage but consider you can get banned:
- Mail your msn buddies.
- Contact and pay around $50 some of the top diggers to send a message to their buddies from their profiles because they have thousands and will surely get you on the frontpage.
- Make the article interesting, eye-catchy and attractive. Nobody wants to read boring articles and not even vote for them.
- Ask for help at your favorite forum. Most of the guys have a digg account and it shouldn’t be tough to get them to give you a dugg.
- Create accounts yourself. Make around 50 accounts with different gmail addresses and digg your story. Also remember to change your ip by using proxies unless you want to get caught. Keep in mind that this is extreme blackhat and may get you in trouble but it surely works.
Social network traffic
Another great way to get traffic is social networks. If you have a profile on myspace dot com and have some friends mention your url at the about me part. Most of the friends will visit it.
Pay internet cafes
You can go to an internet café with $60 in your hand and pay the owner to make your page the homepage of all computers. Imagine how many loads of browsers daily does an internet cafe has?! They will all see your website and you’ll make money
Hold a contest, give away stuff.
Holding a contest will kick start your new blog. Many bloggers will be linking and posting about it on their blogs. Their readers will visit and join. Then they’ll too write a post. Blog contests are viral pretty much all the time. Just make sure you give the right gift. For example a free domain registration including hosting and wordpress… or a new apple toy like iphone.
SEO Your Blog
There’s an article on how to SEO your blog on blogging empire. It’s important if you want free targeted traffic to rank #1 for search keywords.
Directories
Submit your blog to directories. 20 won’t do the trick. For as cheap as $10 you can get around 300 directory submissions from a worker on dp or freelancing sites. It will improve backlinks and more visitors will follow.
Video Marketing
Go ahead and upload your video to other video sharing sites including your copyright. Also leave a site url in the description. Videos get high rankings in search engines and take minutes until they hit the #1 spot. That means traffic for your blog. There are tools to make your video famous too.
Adwords
The old and good way of getting targeted traffic. If you consider spending a little off your budget then adwords is the right one to go. Your ads will appear all over the net on web pages related to your one very cheap. You can get vouchers as little as $3 for a $50 voucher. Also there shouldn’t be bidding on keywords like “date”, instead “dating online free signup” unless you want to spend everything you got on your credit card. Adwords is the right solution and everyone having a minisite or an affiliate should use this way. http://adwords.google.com
Build Mailing Lists
There are lots of different ways to get an email from someone. Than you can just email all those emails you collected with your new product details. I usually go to aweber.com pay a little to get my camping ready, give away something in exchange of an email in my squeeze page and I get the users email. There are a lot of blogs promoting clickbank products. If you have emails lists you’ll be able to send your affiliate link to lots of users that signed up for something. If you do sell on your blog, it’s important when selling to get the buyers email at the thank you page because you know he bought your product and may be interested in buying other products. You can’t be that sure if you are giving away stuff.
Use Article Marketing
For this matter you’ll need articles. I’d say around 10 to 30. It’s important for them to be useful. For the ones that are not so good at writing I’d suggest you visit a freelancing site or dp where you’ll find cheap content writers. Then find around 10 popular ezine sites like ezinearticles.com where you can submit them all. In the resource box include your blog url and a little bit about yourself. Submit all the articles to 10 directories. If they get approved you’ll see natural free traffic. It works awesome.
