Ok, since the intention of this article is to give you some ammo, and get you results fast, I’m going to hop right into the strategy. I’m going to just give you my personal four step traffic creation strategy, and you need to do it consistently to get dramatic results. If you have time, I encourage you to go through the whole strategy once per day, although it can be scaled down to a once per week effort (just understand that you’ll get less results on a once per week basis). Ok, so let’s launch right into the strategy:
1. The first step is to create a piece of educational content. You don’t need to have the greatest article or video around, it just needs to be useful and genuine. Pretty much no matter what you do, you’re not going to be able to completely predict where the majority of your traffic will come from. There are some ’super gurus’ out there that try and develop training to teach you how to only tackle the ‘heavy hitter’ articles, but you’re better off just creating tons of content and dealing with the ratios. Every kind of content online is the same, videos included. Just create something with some valuable information in your niche, and put it on a website. You might put it on an article network, your personal blog, or a video sharing network.
2. Step two is to make a video announcing your article, and broadcast your video to the video sharing sites. I like video marketing because it’s easy to do, they get picked up by the search engines faster than anything else around, and it gets you traffic ridiculously fast. Confused? All you’ve got to do is sit in front of a camera and talk about how cool your new article is. I utilize a program called Traffic Geyser to promote my videos, because Traffic Geyser is awesome and it’s super easy to use. More importantly, though, it works. When you send your videos out to the sites, point the links back to your original piece of content. You can also use a service called ‘TubeMogul’ which is free, but far less effective than Traffic Geyser.
3. In step 3, you write a simple, brief article talking about your content, or maybe even create a variation of the same content and broadcast it to the article directories. I like articles because they rank really well in the search engines and they get you long term, residual traffic if you use them consistently. They also give you a kind of ’super credibility’ that only can come from massive exposure and consistent content creation. I also use automated software to broadcast my articles.
4. Do it every day. Look, this is a simple process, and it will work for you like crazy if you follow it. Honestly, even if your articles stink and your videos are second class, it will still work.The cool thing is that this four step process works even if your content isn’t the best around. (Of course, it will work much better if they’re killer). However, just do it consistently for the next 100 days.
So why should you keep working the strategy over the next 100 days? It’s simple, because if you do what I just mentioned for the next 100 days, you’ll have so much traffic, links to your site, and leads coming through whatever system that you use, that you’ll flip out with excitement. (It works that well). Stick with it my friends and I’ll see you at the top of the search engines.
