6 Insider Tips To Get Your FIRST 500 blog visitors

Starting out your website, the first thing that obviously comes to mind, bar hosting and domain is ‘’How Do I get Traffic?”

It’s very easy to setup everything, spend a couple of dollars on themes, plugins and host and then tragically fail. Without traffic to your website, it becomes lifeless, you don’t make a penny.!

So how about I explain a few tips to get Your First 500 Visitors To Your Website?

That too, in under a month?

Without spending  a dime on ads?

It’s going to take some work from your side, but nothing online is made to be easy, none.

So let’s get started in getting your First 500 visitors:

• ·         Write Your First 2,000 words Content.

Obviously you'll hear it daily; content is king.

I'm not saying your 500+ words content isn't good. It is, if it provides so much valuable information.

But the reality is, you can't expect an article capped at 500 words to provide you the brilliant information on 'How to Start Your Niche Blog: Step By Step Guide'.

See the difference, yet?

If you really want to get more traffic, you must write to get them in.

Writing 2,000 words should be a peanut for you at the very least, I've seen quite a handful of bloggers writing 10,000-12,000 WORDS pieces. And they were an absolute HIT.

Not all your articles can be up to that amount, but find time, atleast once a week to write an in depth article.

If your readers find your articles long and qualitative, they'll surely visit you often.

·         Create a Facebook Page

If you already have an active Facebook account, you can create a page to cater for your audience and share your articles with followers.

Facebook has about 1.*Billion monthly users, the best social site in the world, so it's the best place to get your blog traffic kicking in.

Facebook pages tend to send me about 61% of my daily traffic.

With Billions of users online, it's easy to find your target audience easily.

Create a Facebook page.

Use your company name, and give it's descriptions.

You'll of course start with zero followers, so it'll be best to invite your friends to like your page just for a start.

If they choose to accept your invitation, you'll be seeing them as page likes. Anyone who likes your page is entitled to receive updates from your page.

Post at least twice a day, after posting, share to your most active Facebook friends.

When you have a few followers, ask questions. They tend to get more comments for you and more likes and shares.

Accompanying your post too with a great picture will get you more engagement, than without it.

I actually re-share my older blog posts each day just to keep the traffic flowing in, and make sure I circle a popular post, one that my readers found to be the best and keep sharing it day after day. It keeps them glued to my page and I've seen steady traffic growth since then.

It's also advisable to offer coupons or discounts on products, or just giveways, they'll bring you over 88%, increase in followers.

• ·         Start Tweeting

·          

Social Media sites are the bomb.

Social traffic are the thing of the future now, that's why I'd recommend you get your hands on Twitter.

Twitter allows you to tweet a short 140 character words. And if you know business, you'd know 140 is more than just enough. Businesses love it! Being short and catchy.

There are millions of people with different information to share. It's good you determine your niche and find the authority on your niche and start following them.

Once you follow them, you can retweet their tweets, tweet to them, and follow people they follow.

I actually followed Jeff Goins a few weeks back, and used this tool called TweetAdder, a tool which helps you find a person's 1000 most recent followers, and helps you follow them too.

This means more than half of them will choose to follow back, peep through your profile and if your content is great, pop up a few times and bookmark your blog.

It also helps you see who you've followed but don't follow you back. You can choose to unfollow them if you wish.

It's a great tool which has helped me leverage my traffic with up to 38%.

Ø  Use FutureTweets

A new tool I discovered recently that helps me schedule my twitter tweets is futuretweets.

It's very easy to use and you can go directly to the site and authenticate with your twitter account (make sure you're logged in to your twitter account with the browser).

From there you'll be redirected to the dashboard, and you can schedule your tweets.

What I basically do there, is, find quality content from my blog, then post about it with relevant tags and mentions to my niche authority bloggers.

This makes sure my tweet is seen by huge amount of people, and then schedule it for 9AM in the morning. I schedule at least 10 times, the same content with different keywords, tags, and mentions and then set different timestamps, just to be sure each of my followers get to see it at their convenient time.

• ·         Configure Share Buttons.

Several people complained to me at first, when I launched my first blog which was on the blogger platform, that they find my articles brilliant and scroll anxiously to find the share buttons, only to be disappointed; I had none.

At first I didn't even know what they are, I asked around, and a friend popped up with a Facebook share button code I should sort of embed on my Blogger HTML template. I was confused. I did a lot of research and I found ShareThis and AddThis sharing buttons platform.

They basically allow you to design the type of sharing layout you want, and will guide you into integrating it to your website easily. Most of them have their plugins for WordPress so it's easy to quickly add it to your blog.

A lot of experts revealed, adding share buttons on your blog increase your traffic with upto %50, and exposes out to new readers. A welcome bonus!!

·         Interlink your Articles.

Interlinking is a way you make mention and reference to YOUR own previously written content, by using html Ref tags and passing link juice to your articles.

Look for that popular post on your site, come up with a brilliant piece, as you normally do, then make mention of it at the right time with the right keyword phrase.

Example;

An article you published last month titled Link building, and it's link is abc.com/topic/link-building/

So to make mention of it, you make use of the following HTML tag:

Example:I explained about < a href="http://www.abc.com/topic/link-building">Link building </a>, you should check it out

• Get Links from your niche.

Apart from interlinking your content, search for top blogs on your particular niche, find an article you truly love, read it.

At the very end, You'll spot the comment box if there's any.

Comment with what you've learned in that piece and drop a few hints, here and there just to make your comment valuable.

If it's a WordPress blog, there's a box with the name 'Website' you will mostly see not given the '*' sign. Because it's not a requirement. But fill it up with your web address and post your comment.

Some blogs can even approve your website link in the comment box if your comment is valuable to it's readers, so this will help you garner more new audience, resulting in bigger traffic stats for you.!

• Post In Forums Often

Forums are meant for interaction, business minded folks go their and pop a question or two.

If you know a thing or two in your niche, you can register in top forums like Warrio Forums, or Digital Point.

Find your most suitable category and look into questions relatively known to you, hover onto it, and try and give your best possible answer.

You’d ask me how exactly do you get Traffic using this method?

Easy!!! Usually every forum gives you the opportunity to include a signature (a piece of text, html or smiley displayed at the end of each post or reply you make). You’re going to write your website url in full there, and probably a description about it.

This ensures you get both Quality High PR (pagerank) backlink to your website, and some potential clicks!

You can still make reference to one of your articles which is relevant to the post on the forum.

But once there was a time Microsoft didn’t always get alongside with Android. As most of us has still in our memory that there was an severe competition between Windows Phone and Android a few years ago. It went so far as Microsoft nearly deciding to never launch a version of their mobile word processing application for Android. As their mobile business with Nokia crushed, they did something very clever. They adjusted.

Today we find Microsoft Word being packed with many high end mobile phones and tablets. Quite simply, because it’s very great. Not only does this model motivates users to create a Microsoft ID. But it inspires them to adopt Windows as a primary operating system, if they haven’t already. This combination or merging with their PC using Windows 10 is the best application available when using this app on Android.


The true arrangement between your desktop and mobile device in full accuracy has been impressively done.

A-Z Guide To Start WordPress Blog

An A to Z Tutorial to start a Spartan WordPress site

Starting a Wordpress Site From Scratch? Then this is the best guide for you.

All right! So you have finally decided to stand out from the crowd of digital werewolves and weave your own nest in the World Wide Web.


The very thought of doing what you believe in is like experiencing nirvana without trying too much for it. But even as Spartans had to wage a war against the most terrifying monsters for their immortality, launching a Wordpress site might also seem like climbing Mount Everest if you don’t know A B C of the entire process. So to help you create an attractive Wordpress site sans clichéd digital tantrums, we have got you an A to Z guide to launch a WordPress Site/Blog From Scratch , at your doorstep. The idea is to use more time for developing business than building a website. Here we go:

Website planning

Working on creating a Wordpress site without a well-thought detailed plan is like watching Lionel Messi doing salsa with football on the ground that has no goal posts whatsoever (There is just no fun in it) You got to have a target. It is essential. So what you can first do is do some research around to know the kind of website you want to run. It will also help you have an idea of the structure of your site. In fact, research is not always important to understand what you want, but also important for what you don’t want. You get to know about the mistakes made by other people and this enlightens you in a way. In the beginning, you can try brainstorming the following ideas:

Try to find out what you really want to achieve from your Wordpress site. Think about this from business and personal perspective.

Know your audience. Understand who would be visiting your website the most. People visiting your website frequently should have something unique in store for them. Plan accordingly.

Content plays a very tricky role. Your audience should know about your business the moment they land on your digital plot. A lot goes into doing that. Work hard on it. Give it some time.

Apart from what you want to show to your audience, you want your audience to react to your content and make a move. What if you can influence their moves? Instead of waiting for them to make a move, force them to make a move. Figure out what you want them to do—join mailing, purchase a product or just make a query.

Once you have brainstormed all the above mentioned ideas, you start writing as much detail about all of them as much you can. This is actually very important in the planning phase. The more details you will have, the easier it will be to structure your website. The idea is to have it in your imagination first before it has been created in reality.

Brand identity

From Jackie Chan fighting for it in Who am I to Guy Ritchie loosing it after every 15 minutes in the cult thriller Memento, identity is essential for existence of anything and anyone.
You should understand the art of creating a strong brand identity that leaves an imprint on your audience. The idea behind branding yourself or your business is that people can recall you the moment they see your logo or hear about you or your product anywhere.
The idea is to have a strong recall value that is not possible without a strong brand identity. Why don’t you ask yourself the following questions before you foray into creating a strong brand value?

1. What do you want your audience to recall about you the moment they hear about you?
2. What message do you want them to receive after seeing your logo?
3. How can you stand out from other blood-sucking Zombies like you on the World Wide Web?
4. What is your vision?
5. What value is there for your audience?

Try to find a way to define your brand identity. Design a plan that reflects the way you want your website and your brand to communicate with your audience.

1. Think about your logo. How should it be? How should it communicate it with your audience?
2. Select the right fonts and colors that go really well with your brand and logo. If you are not really good at it then you can even hire a me to do the job. This can reflect your ideas well on your website.

Hosting and domain name

In this virtual world, your domain name is the address of your business and your hosting account is the plot on which you have built your virtual office. In this virtual office, you will have all your files and other important documents stored. So it is important to have a domain that can help your audience find you on the go irrespective of where they really are:

1. Your domain name should clearly tell about what you do. It should reflect the core purpose of your business, your logo.
2. A lot of businesses tend to have their domain names like they are Da Vinci Codes. Hard to break. Keep them short, simple, and easy to recall. Don’t be Dan Brown! (:-)

There are loads of companies out there that sell both hosting and domain name. There is specifically one that I always recommend for my clients and start-ups because of they're just That GOOD You can buy both of them from the same company if you get a good offer. There is a specific coupon designed for customers from this blog that you can use.. <

Install the Zombie (WordPress)

The old classic drop-dead gorgeous Zombie in the world of web development is WordPress. And it’s now time to have it in your lamp and host some magic. There are loads of companies out there that provide easy installation of WordPress. You can even check out some video tutorials on installing WordPress on Youtube.

There is a host of some incredibly beautiful WordPress themes available for you on the web that can’t just imagine.

Therefore, many of us believe that money is life and no life without money. At some level, it looks true as well. This is a reason, every individual is running in the game of money making. Though, money making is not a joke as it requires one to be highly qualified and skilled in some trade. So, what about those who are still learners? How to make money if you do not have any special commercial skill? How will you survive without having degrees from top-most institutions of your country? Well, it is possible just you need to bear in mind that “nothing is impossible in this universe; as IMPOSSIBLE itself says “I M Possible”.

It is not that I’m making hollow statements, but it is the truth of my life. Today, I am making money online out of blogging. You must have heard about “BLOGGING” somewhere or if you are an internet user, you must be quite familiar with this term – blogging. There are countless people who are today earning their bread and butter from blogging. It clearly shows that the profit is surely there for which modern individuals are taking a great interest towards making a blog to earn money.

How I Stepped Into Blogging To Make Money:

Since, my school days, I was quite keen about finding out some way out to make money from the web. I always wanted to work for myself as I did not prefer to work under someone else as I wanted to be my own boss. With this vision, I browsed the internet and everything I browsed, I found blogging was appearing before me again and again.

I started my first blog right then and after that, I tried finding out ways to make money out of that blog. Though, it was merely a beginning, that blog didn’t help me made any money. After working hard for many years, today, I’m capable of earning $200,000 a month. This is my reality. I dumped many blogs of mine during this period and ultimately, I got to the right track on making money in a certain way.

With my experience, I am going to share my BLOGGING secret to help other individuals in making money. By following this experienced path, the positive outcomes are assured. Like me, you will also see increasing income every month. You just have to be cautious about the guidelines I am going to discuss here for monetizing BLOGGING.
                                        

Who Can Benefit From Money Making Out Of Blogging Guidelines:

Every money making enthusiast who owns a blog or wants to make a blog for earning money can get outstanding benefits out of these guidelines. It does not matter in which group you fall for blogging – a business or commercial blog or merely a hobby blog – monetization is certainly possible for all. The idea is not for getting wealthy in a quick way; however, if it is done rightly, you can financially support yourself or your family too. For this purpose, you have to dive in with us to explore the ways to get profit out of your blog.

1.  CPM / CPC Ads To Make Money Blogging:

The most common method of making money from a blog is by placing multiple ads on the site. CPC which is also known as PPC ads and CPM ads are two types of famous ads that bloggers get paid from.

Let us explore what CPC and CPM ads are here:

• CPC Ads: CPC stands for cost per click or is also named as pay per click ads which are banners that often placed in the sidebar or within the content. Every time a visitor or a blog reader clicks to that ad, the blogger gets paid for those clicks.
• CPM Ads: CPM Ads which are referred as cost per thousand impressions are those advertisements for which bloggers are paid a certain fixed amount according to the number of views on the ad.

How Advertisers Link Up To Blogs & Different Ad Networks:

For placing both types of ads on blogs, the most prevalent network is Google AdSense. This program automatically gets advertisers connected to bloggers and thus, it eliminates the need to contact advertisers for placing their ads on your blog personally. Just place a banner on the blog or website and let Google work to place relevant ads on your site. Google itself selects ads that go apt to the content of your blog. By placing ads this way, the chances become quite high to get clicks of viewers on these ads. If you feel that you are not getting expected outcomes from AdSense, then you can choose other Ad programs or networks like Infolinks, Media.net and Chitika.

2.  Private Ads Selling Can Be More Profitable:

If you think that ad networks are the only way to make money blogging, then somehow you are underestimating the power of it. So, to sell out ads, ad networks are certainly not the only way. If your blog succeeds in getting higher traffic, then you will be contacted from the advertisers directly. At that time, advertisers will request you to give space to their ads on your blog or site. They will offer you profit percentage or a fixed price to display their ads on your site. Moreover, you may also ask advertisers to place their ads on your blog. The only and major difference in this method is the unavailability of a middle man that means, set your conditions and prices on your own.

Private ads selling can be in  the type of buttons, links and banners. Even, there is a scope of making money by writing several sponsored posts. In these posts, you should write about the product or service of the advertiser or submit a review of it. In addition, you can write a series of posts where you can take any topic to write about, though you will be paid for “Brought to you by” mention within your content. So, there are multiple ways to make money by this way. For example, there can be a one-time payment for putting a link in the post, or if you host a banner ad, then you may either charge on the monthly basis to the advertiser.

Profit making bonus idea for you: To increase your revenue, you may sell sponsorship place within your podcasts, videos and newsletters also.

3.  Add Affiliate Links:

When it comes to making money blogging, affiliate marketing is one of the greatest methods that most of the bloggers rely on. Check out these tips on how you can benefit from affiliate marketing.

Every advertiser wants to sell off his product or service. For selling off a product, the advertiser gives the bloggers some commission from every sale; if a buyer comes from your blog or site. 

     Advertiser gives the blogger an exclusive link which tracks down the affiliate code of yours. This link enables him to know if the buyer has come from your blog to buy their product.

     You may either include the affiliate link on your site or blog. It can be added directly within the content of the blog or in banner ads. At times, a reader of your site clicks on the unique link and also, purchases a product recommended by your site, it helps you earning some percentage from their purchase.

     Affiliate marketing can be made through multiple ad networks such as Amazon Associates. Or you may also make private ad partnerships with businesses and advertisers through the affiliate program.

4.  Put Digital Products To Sell On Your Blog:

If the idea to sell the products or services of other advertisers on your site is not something that attracts you, then you may go for selling digital products on your site. This can prove to be another brilliant stream of regular income. In digital products, you may add:

•       Digital workshops or courses
•       Apps, theme or plugins
•       eBooks
•       Video, Music or Images to encourage users to add their content

Important Tip To Keep In Mind:

When you head towards choosing any of these digital avenues to sell on your site, to remember to add a relevant product that your website users are interested in. Generally, a majority of bloggers make a mistake by thinking as they are going to make a product available for readers that they would have required. Though you should listen to them first and after that, make a product according to their demand.

5.  Use Your Blog As The Content Marketing Solution For The Business:

Blogging has an exceptional power to give businesses remarkable revenues. If you own a business, then you can use a blog to sell off the physical products of your company. This way, it helps in generating more income for businesses by working as a powerful marketing tool. Though, it is requisite for you to take the blog as a tool of content marketing, rather considering it as a money making platform as it will bring more visitors to the site and will help in growing your business.

There are countless possibilities to develop the business with the help of a blog. It is an amazing platform to sell products like hand-made stuff, manufactured items, and books and so on. Moreover, many businesses use it to help their customers explore their product information in a more accurate way and thus, it converts them in becoming loyal customers.

Clearing it more deeply with a practical example:

Say to assume you refurbish or resell the used phones from your home and want to grow your income from your blog. So, use your blog to get the attention of the visitors towards your site where, all your refurbished or resalable phones are listed for sale. In your blog, you should cover a range of relevant topics like DIY refurbishing the phones, benefits of refurbished phones etc. This idea serves dual purpose as it encourages buyers to buy a refurbished phone as well as it helps growing a brand.

In the words of famous social media expert Jay Baer, 

“I was at a conference a few years ago, and this is where I first sort of started thinking about this concept, and their founder, Robert Johnson, was speaking…” Furthermore, he said, “Well our best customers are the people that think they can fix it themselves.”

Eventually, this idea would take you away from the core – as here, you need to decide who are you deciding to call? If you are trying to call up anyone randomly who you just discovered from the Google or you call up someone whose logo you just have discovered around in a small video.

This principal also applies to varied industrial services; for example, if you deal in repair services for electronics, in contrary to any physical product. The same blogging concept would work to enhance the brand awareness as well as in conversions.

6.  Membership Selling:

When it comes to money making from your blog, the membership selling emerges as a significant option. In this option, the advertisers pay the bloggers to get an exclusive corner in their site. For example, if you have a blog related to career counselling, an advertiser may get ready to pay you $10 every month as it will help users to get access to the job boards of the advertiser. Similar, if you have a business blog, then you may sell the membership in your website forum where users get multiple advice for their business.

The main key of this option to provide an exclusive membership to users which has to be more useful and effective than anything that they get for free on the web. Therefore, think of bringing out of the box ideas to make membership users feel that they are getting service worth the cost.

7.  Build Up Your Credibility On Your Blog:

Many bloggers use their blog for credibility which is another fabulous idea to bring several monetizing opportunities. Taking an example of a finance related blog where people start taking the interest in the information written within and ultimately, the blog gets unexpected popularity among masses. Thus, the credibility of your blog will make you a renowned figure in entire finance segment.

After having this authority, many people would approach you to be a co-writers for a book on a subject like debt management or you may get opportunities to be a speaker at finance conferences or get invite to train employees on financial affairs.

However, it is not a straight money making method from blogging, yet it benefitted many bloggers this way. So, there are chances that it may work in your case too. Coming to straight profit stream, a blogger can earn the profit in 4 to 7 figures by selling off the blog to others. It is called selling a brand to some other interested person and if your blog is popular, the profit can be unexpectedly higher.

The most considerable thing to remember when you want to make money from your blog is; to keep doing something with your site, rather than putting your website up and then, let it rest there. For revenue generation, you have to give your time to your site as the mentality that just build it and revenue will come on its own will surely not work in this case. It is seen that some bloggers do not see any income for sometimes and sometimes for years. Though the profit is assured, but it requires dedication, time and effort.
