Today is an exciting day because
it is the first step in starting to get
traffic to our opt-in form or squeeze page! This means we are now at
the part
of the process where we can start to get email subscribers!
Congratulations on getting this
far in the system! The key to traffic,
as mentioned before, is consistency! So be very consistent as you go
through
this process. Do the steps mentioned on each day so you can watch your
list
size grow dramatically!
Now that we are onto the traffic
tips there is going to be less reading,
and more doing! These sections will get much more concise.
So, for today’s lesson you
need to write a high-quality blog post or
article, that will draw your target audience into your website and
eventually
onto your email list.
One good article can play a huge
role in getting you traffic for even
years to come, so make sure you put in the effort to put together some
amazing
content. For this step we are just going to write this article.
I will give you some ideas
below, but if you are someone that does not
want to write you can easily outsource this to www.iwriter.com
or www.fiverr.com.
On www.iwriter.com
you will spend anywhere from $10 to $40 to get a great content piece
written.
The types of articles that do
well are called “Listicles”. This is an
article that contains a list. For example, like top 10 lists do great
here.
Here are a few “Listicle” examples:
“Top 10 Ways To Improve
Your Relationship”
“The 5 Things Winning
Sales Copy Should Have”
“My Top 8 Places To Get
Free Web Traffic”
“25 Places You Must Visit
Before You Die”
“6 Signs Your Relationship
Is In Trouble”
“The 15 Things You Should
Always Have In Your Fridge”
So the idea here is to create a
content piece that will draw people in.
You can get ideas by browsing forums in your industry, Facebook groups,
popular
websites in your industry, looking at magazine covers on newsstands and
online,
and looking at suggest search phrases on Google or YouTube!
One trick to coming up with
great article ideas for your industry is to
go to Google Images at www.google.com/images and do a
search for “magazine name covers” or “niche magazine
covers”. So if you are in
the fitness niche you could do a search for “fitness magazine
covers”. Then
look at the article topics they featured on the cover.
Magazines want to get read, and
so they only include the most exciting
topics on the covers to draw in their readers! This is a great way to
come up
with content ideas!
The next super important thing
you need along with quality content is a
good image. You can find a free royalty free image for your article at www.pixabay.com
or www.pexels.com.
You can also design some cool
looking images using tools like www.canva.com
or www.youzign.com.
These allow you to use point-and-click web
based software to create some killer designs.
You want to include an image as
it will help your article get more
shares on social media, and allow you to get more traffic from other
relevant
traffic sources online.
Day #5 Assignment: Research and write
(or have written) one good article or blog post for publishing online.
Create
one good image that goes along with your article for later sharing on
social
media.
