Free PDF Top Ten Ways To Drive Targeted Traffic To Your Blog!

If you are trying to get more visitors to your blog and more cash in your pocket, then there’s one thing that raises your traffic and income…informative content!

I’m going to show you the pillars to creating high quality, magnetic blog content that will attract traffic, fans and fortunes if you go on with it for some some time.

1. Killer titles

If you want to archieve a high search engine ranking, you need to obviously focus on including your keyphrases in your title. However, you also have to balance this with actually creating titles that people want to click on and read. Use controversy, mystery, benefits and breaking news as the triggers for all of your titles. If you can ask a question within your headline, even better.

2. Make it “scan-able”

Nobody reads whole articles in these hectic times, not generally speaking anyway. Even your gratest blog fan will have times when they need the meat from your content without being told about how lovely your cat is. So use bullet points, sub headlines, accents etc. Make sure you break up large paragraphs so it appears less daunting to read in one sitting.

3. Controversy

There is nothing getting more attention (and raving loyal readers) than a person who speaks their mind and kicks up a little dust frome time to time. Communicate with your readers, do not just be another “me too blogger”. Just make sure you do not write anything derogatory which could lead you to legal problems.

4. Use photos

You only have to take a look at all the news papers every day and it’s clear to see how popular images are. They can be used to make your article much easier to understand and can also stimulate emotion or provoke a response. Also, it’s a known fact that people are drawn to images first, and then their eyes will went to the caption below the image. Guess what that caption could be? Yep, an affiliate link or advertisment perhaps?

5. Use lists and tables

Also known as utility posts. The types of posts that are often a “Top 10 Ways To…” or “The 7 Things You Need To…” and so on. These are great because they are notonly easy to read, but also useful for the reader too.

Well thats it - a easy 5 step plan to producing content that is not only worth reading, but can result in increased revenue and more traffiv to your site in general. But there’s many more to profitable blogging than just great content, which is impossible to reveal in a article alone.

10 Opt-in Email List Building Tips

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

Before you can get people onto your list, you need to find effective ways to drive traffic to your squeeze page where they can sign up. On top of that, you must have a valuable giveaway that they just can’t do without. Once you have these two elements in place, your list will grow rapidly.

Here are 10 opt-in email list building tips to get you started:

1. Build a squeeze page with an irresistible, value-packed giveaway. To make it successful, use highly relevant bullet points and pique your visitor’s curiosity so that they want to signup. Done well, a good squeeze page can easily convert at 50% or higher.

2. Locate high-traffic social media sites in your niche and comment on posts that relate to your squeeze page offer. Put yourself in front of those who are most likely to appreciate and need your product. Convince them that you have the answers they seek and they will gladly sign up to receive more of your valuable advice.

3. Use article marketing to attract webmasters who are looking for relevant content. You can post your articles in article directories and wait for people to find them. Or you can find popular, high-ranking sites in your niche and contact the webmasters directly and offer your articles for their use. Be sure your articles contain an enticing invitation and link to your opt-in form.

4. Participate in giveaway events. This is an excellent opportunity to leverage the marketing efforts of everyone involved in these events. Make sure people have to visit your landing page and signup to get your product.

5. Locate marketers in your niche who have a sizeable list. Strike up a deal to swap promotions for your squeeze pages. This method will get you loads of traffic and build a relationship that will benefit both of you for years to come.

6. Invite your current subscribers to promote your free offer for a small financial return per subscriber they send your way. Think of it as the price of advertising, which would cost you far more.

7. Use PPC to drive traffic to your opt-in form quickly. Your ad will work best if it promises a benefit and has an element of curiosity.

8. Utilize paid to click services to build your list. If your giveaway is relevant and in demand, you will add subscribers quickly.

9. When someone buys from you, send them directly to an opt-in form where they can register for upgrades or just to complete their order. This works well, since they have already agreed to buy from you and will readily fill in the form.

10. Begin a viral marketing campaign. Create a product with your squeeze page links inside and encourage people to pass it around. Offer it to your list members, have your friends and business associates pass it on to their list members, and post it on free book sites.

These 10 list building methods work extremely well. Use them all or combine your favorites and you will grow a quality list quickly.
