Free traffic, something every writer and web master wakes up in a sweat about at night, if they have not figured it out yet. I don't get huge amounts of traffic, but I also do not have the time to dedicate to it that would make that happen. However, what I can do, is take a blog that is brand spanking new, and free, and with only a couple of links, get over 25 readers with just one post, on the first day!
Now, that, translated into a 30 day schedule, adds up to 750 visitors! Without any real marketing, and, you don't even have to write anything brilliant, in fact, it's probably better if you don't.
First, you need a great site with lots of bells and whistles, just kidding! Go to Blogger, sign up, pick a title you think people will like in a niche, just like this one. Choose your template, add a photo of yourself, and get ready to be read!
So, what do you write about? Well, you can try topics that are popular, like today, Isis, Obama's Isis speech, Islamic terror and 9/11 are hot topics, you could try that. But, it doesn't have to be that juicy, it could just be about your topic.
Whatever you choose, make sure it's original, Google hates copycats and may actually prevent your post from being seen. It should be something informative, something people will be interested in, and you should write at least 300 words. Search engines like dense content!
Next, you need a headline. Take a page from those obnoxious headlines from pop news sites that have been popping up in the last few months on Facebook. "You won't believe...." or "Look what happened when..." curious people will click, I promise.
So, finish your post and hit "publish". Once that is done, copy and paste the link to your post into a FB profile or page and wait. Want to see a real life example? Go to Secrettogreatwriting,blogspot,com where I did just this, at the beginning of the week,and got 26 views without any other promotion.
Next time, I'll teach you a trick to double, or triple this into traffic that can build you a site worth having. So, why does this work? What many webmasters overlook is the fact that blogspot is a Google domain, and much like Youtube, it gets preference. Your posts will show up much quicker in many cases than posts on more developed sites. Good luck, tell me how it goes! Now, let's see what happens with this post!
