Traffic.
It’s what every web site, and especially every blog needs. But how do you get more traffic?
There are many different ways including leveraging content, using comments, focusing on keywords, tagging, rss feeds, niche blogging, email list and more, and I suggest working on a few at a time to build up a steady stream of traffic and then move on to other strategies. By working on a few at a time you can measure their effectiveness, make changes if necessary and then continue to build.
And traffic is only one factor to a successful blog. Monetization, pillar articles, design, marketing, branding, sourcing content, publicity, newsletters, rss feeds all play a part in a blog that’s successful, both your visitors and you will enjoy and only takes you a few hours a day to maintain.
Well known blogger Yaro Starak has a mentoring program where he teaches how to work part-time to make a full-time living from your blog. He’s been blogging successfully for years and shares his strategies on every aspect of blogging and regularly does case studies with his members. He’s put together a BluePrint for Bloggers that goes over his strategy for profitable blogging and is available for download at no cost.
Check out his case study on getting more traffic to a blog as well as a complete lesson from his blog mentoring program, Marketing with Conversations where you’ll learn the important aspects of communicating effectively with your visitors to keep them coming back. Grab the audio MP3 of the entire lesson as well to listen while you workout or drive. These are full case studies and lessons straight from his mentoring program.
Update: Yaro is closing BlogMastermind on Monday Dec 10th for some time to make upgrades to the membership. He’s indicated that when the membership reopens next year, pricing will increase to reflect the additional content. This won’t affect current members, new members won’t be able to join until upgrades are completed.
To your profitable blogging!
