How to increase blog traffic
Traffic tips
- Generate multimedia – Create a podcast or a video. Believe it or not creating multimedia products is not as hard as you expect. This video above I created in 10 minutes, editing and uploading had taken me an hour. Although it is a basic video, it doesn’t always need to be a Hollywood production. Multimedia is another method of reaching your target audience.
- Generate unique content frequently – This is very important make sure you create useful, unique content for your target audience.
- Add an RSS feed – Include an RSS feed on your blog and make sure it is easy to find.
- Giveaway something – A giveaway could be content, a video, a free course, a book, a DVD, a CD it could anything. Make sure that your giveaway appeals to your target audience.
- Newsletter – If you are serious about blogging and making money you need a newsletter. Email marketing will play a huge part of promotion.
- Guest blog posting – Creating content for other bloggers will increase your online presence and improve relationships with other bloggers.
- Comment on other blogs – This will help you increase your online presence.
I hope you enjoy the video.

Hi Kushmoney,
In all fairness, a lot of bloggers regret not having a newsletter. But you can get one easily.

Yeah, just a matter of funds at this moment. I am running a $100 blog contest, and starting kushmoney poker tour. All the funds are going to those projects at the moment.
I will start a mailing list as soon as I can though. I got an idea for 2 mailing lists that will surely make money and help others.

Hi Luis,
I found your email in my Junk folder, I’ve sent a couple of changes, please, please, ensure that you have a back-up.
It will be best to have a backup of the Database before the hack and also your wordpress files backed up previously as well.
I’ve sent a couple of emails.
Please get in contact when you’ve looked at them.

Hi James, if I were to add to point number 3 about having an RSS feed I would say that it is also very important to have the RSS subscription feature prominently displayed at your site for people to see. If they have to look for it you’ll loose out on a lot of subscribers.
Thanks,
Mikael

Hi Mikael,
Thanks for your comment, I agree you should make things easy for your readers the easier the better. An easy to spot RSS feed will help. I’ve applied this on my blog.
I do like the design of your blog. Some good posts on there too.
Keep it up
James,

Thanks James. I were having second thoughts on making that comment as my blog theme doesn’t have a noticeable RSS button :) But I’ll be working on it…

I have to start using video and audio. I am not really comfortable to use them at this point in time but maybe I will soon. It’s a great opportunity to bond with your readers even more.
I am thinking of buying a Flip cam maybe that will get me started ;)
