If you write articles on Associated
Content and you also have a blog, you have probably discovered similarities
between writing articles and blogging. Here are a few methods you
can use to increase traffic to your articles that are also being
used to render a blog popular:
Get as much traffic as you can:
Getting traffic online means having people visiting your content; if
you want to be a successful Associated Content producer or blogger,
you must get as much traffic as you can, otherwise, it doesn't
matter if you are the best writer in the world , you will not earn any money online.
Social Bookmarking
in order to get traffic:
Websites such as Digg or StumbleUpon allow their members to bookmark
articles or blog posts in an attempt to bring other members of such
social bookmarking websites to see your submitted articles and blog
posts.
Forums:
Associated Content has its own forum, where members can ask and answer
questions; bloggers can find different forums all over the internet,
where they can interact with other people. Using forums in order to
increase traffic is a bit tricky, as most forums' administrators
hate spam and will not allow you to put links in your posts;
however, if you participate often in forums and have interesting
things to say, other forum members will get to recognize you and may
want to contact you: most forums allow you to display your blog's
address or your Associated Content's member page in your profile,
there is usually also a facility that allows members to send each
other personal messages without exchanging email addresses, for
privacy and security reasons.
From testing and tweaking, I realized that most bloggers who read a
post with great content will most likely post the same article into
their blog too. That's where people normally say that
Content is
KING! It truly is especially if the content came directly from your
own writing, this builds great creditability for you and your
website.
Here's some of the common type of readers you will experience from
blogs
1. Readers who come in to spy on you
Yes! You will be surprised there are many people online who spy on
me, but it's alright and I welcome them too because in my way of
thinking if I am good enough to be spied meaning I am somewhat doing
something right that they want to know about.
One way to entertained this group of people just keep on revealing
secrets to them they love it.
2. Readers who come to support
The opposite good thing of spy would be great valued supporters, I
do see from time and time again great supporters who often come to
my blog and I really want to thank you for their support.
Supporters normally are the kind of people who would reply on post
and post comments on posts. They would sometime even talk about your
blog on their blogs or do a link to promote your products. Building
a strong based of supports is key in your blog success.
3. Readers who just wont talk
There are also readers that often frequent your blog, but no matter
how much you try to squeeze a comment from them they will not say a
word. There may be a few possibilities that they don't comment. They
are maybe a spy or just shy to actually comment on the post.
It's not really easy to make people talk on blogs but one trick I
used in the passed really MADE a lot of people talking. What I did
was I offer a prize for commenting just to test what happens if I
pay people to comment. As usual money talks there were over 33
comments on the post. Just search for pay per comment on my blog to
find the post.
4. Readers who just hate you and talks bad about you
So far in my own experiences I only know I got one of this because a
lazy mistake I did months ago when I was totally new. I got framed
by people before about me copying people's content. It was a silly
thing to do, BUT until today that article that still frames me and
is still giving me free traffic. I got to thank him for doing that.
Anyway to handle such cases if you do encounter them, just ignore
them and correct the mistakes and say sorry and ask for a remover of
post.
5. Readers who turn to customers
This is the most most important group of readers you will have to
attract the most. Why? Is because they trust you enough to pay you
and learn from you. And some of these loyal customers will stick to
every area you go.
Building loyal customers is tough, but to make it really simple. The
easiest way to do it is to BE HONEST and ethical in your business
and nothing will go wrong. I am happy to announce I got people
actually email me for purchasing my products and thank me because I
did something seldom any online marketer will do. But I won't reveal
it... if you want to know just get one of my guides at my blog.
6. Readers who come in strategy for motive
Most people will be very afraid of this type of visitors but frankly
there is seriously nothing wrong with people who strategy comes to
your blog often to get something.
What type of things would they want? you maybe thinking... FREE
back link from being the top commenter on a blog or FREE traffic to
your blogs by giving really valuable content post. Frankly speaking,
these visitors are good, you know why? Is because they contribute
lots of content for your blog for free and greats awareness for your
blog that you have a community.
You will be amazed what you can learn and gain from reading people's
comments.
