The #1 Problem 95% Of New Websites Have<\/p>\n
Over the past few years, I\u2019ve had the opportunity of working on a lot of new websites, and I found a common problem most have:<\/p>\n
Their contents suck.<\/strong><\/p>\n In fact, I almost vomit when I see some contents.<\/p>\n Most of those contents don\u2019t add value to web readers\u2019 lives.<\/p>\n Most of those contents don\u2019t bring anything new to the table.<\/p>\n They are already a lot of sub-par contents on the web. Web readers don\u2019t need more.<\/p>\n They want a kind of content that blows everything out of the water.<\/p>\n They want EPIC contents.<\/p>\n Not great.<\/p>\n Not average.<\/p>\n EPIC!<\/strong><\/p>\n Would a web reader say \u201cHoly Smokes!\u201d after reading your content.<\/p>\n If not, then you have to reconsider.<\/p>\n You may have to find another great content idea.<\/p>\n Recently, I read a new content, and I quickly went to the comment section to say something before anyone does.<\/p>\n To my surprise, there were already a few comments like:<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s incredibly useful!\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s mind-blowing.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s exactly what I needed!\u201d<\/p>\n Those are the kind of comments you should see on your blog post.<\/p>\n Before you write any content, you should see if you can do better than what\u2019s already out there.<\/p>\n If you can\u2019t do better than your competitors, then it\u2019s better you just forget about getting traffic online.<\/p>\n What are the things you can do to get loads of traffic online?<\/p>\n The BIG Difference Between \u201cGreat Content\u201d And \u201cThe Right Content\u201d<\/p>\n I\u2019m a big fan of this phrase:<\/p>\n \u201cGreat Content.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n I use that phrase a lot.<\/p>\n But what most beginner marketers don\u2019t know is that there\u2019s a big difference between a great content and the right content.<\/p>\n A great content is great \u2013 but great for nothing.<\/p>\n The right content could send massive web visitors to your website.<\/p>\n The right content can lower your customer acquisition cost by over ninety percent, and send you a lot of ready-to-buy visitors than any paid marketing channel out there.<\/p>\n The right content is what you need to make your website an overnight success.<\/p>\n The influencers in your niche are part of the process of making the right content.<\/p>\n When Alex Turnbull, the founder of Groove made the right content, his business blog got 1,000+ subscribers from a single post in 24 hours.<\/p>\n Groove has never looked back since then. In fact, they are currently on their way to generating $500,000 in monthly revenue. That\u2019s the power of publishing the right contents.<\/p>\n How do you publish the right contents?<\/p>\n It\u2019s simple.<\/p>\n Just follow these steps:<\/p>\n Step #1:<\/strong>\u00a0Find the influential people in your niche.<\/p>\n Step #2:<\/strong>\u00a0Find out what your influencers care about (what they like to share with their followers on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Google+, etc.).<\/p>\n Step #3:<\/strong>\u00a0Create content on that topic.<\/p>\n Step #4:<\/strong>\u00a0Ask them to share your content.<\/p>\n That\u2019s it!<\/p>\n It only takes four steps to create an amazing content that will get massive traffic to your website.<\/p>\n Influencers are always willing to share a content that\u2019s about a topic or an issue they care so much about.<\/p>\n When you ask them to share that kind of content, they do that with ease because they know their fans will love it.<\/p>\n By using this powerful traffic building strategy, your new website will instantly be exposed to a big audience.<\/p>\n Instead of trying to build your own audience from scratch, why not leverage an influencer who already got a massive following?<\/p>\n Do Things That Don\u2019t Scale By Hunting Your First Few Readers By Hand<\/p>\n Here\u2019s the ugly truth:<\/p>\n Getting your first 100 visitors would be\u00a0HARD!<\/strong><\/p>\n Getting your first 1,000 visitors would be easy.<\/p>\n Getting your first 10,000 visitors would be easier.<\/p>\n And getting your first 100,000 would be very, very easier.<\/p>\n A lot of blog owners are stuck in the first, hard phase, which is getting their first 100 visits.<\/p>\n If you can only get those tangible 100 visits, taking it from there would be easy. This is what I often hear from most startups founders and bloggers.<\/p>\n I\u2019m a big fan of the phrase \u201cdo things that don\u2019t scale.\u201d<\/p>\n Since Paul Graham said that in one of his blog posts back in 2013, a lot of startup founders and writers have found success just by sticking with that idea.<\/p>\n Most of us are blinded by the dream of instant success that we never take that first most important step.<\/p>\n Doing things that don\u2019t scale is the best way to guarantee success and get people visiting your blog and spreading the word about it.<\/p>\n It\u2019s the surest traffic building strategy that never fails.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n Instead of waiting for people to come to your website, why not visit them one-by-one and ask them to come to your site.<\/p>\n By going to them on-by-one, what I mean is, getting to know each one of them personally.<\/p>\n This powerful strategy has never failed me.<\/p>\n In fact, I\u2019ve used it to hunt thousands of customers.<\/p>\n One of my friends who run a driving school in Brooklyn got tens of customers using this effective strategy alone.\u00a0It works.<\/strong><\/p>\n You don\u2019t have to be smart to use this strategy.<\/p>\n Who are your target audience and where do they hang out online?<\/p>\n Can you get their emails?<\/p>\n Email each one of them to let them know about your content.<\/p>\n Ask them to share your contents on Facebook and Twitter, or anywhere more of your audience hangs out.<\/p>\n Guest Blogging Is The Key To Increasing Your Traffic, Authority, And Fans<\/p>\n When Google engineer, Matt Cutts mentioned guest blogging as being a black hat link building strategy, the whole web was surprised, and that sparked a lot of debates.<\/p>\n Matt Cutts himself quickly move to clarify things that guest blogging isn\u2019t a black hat link building strategy.<\/p>\n It only becomes black hat when people are publishing low-quality, spammy posts as guest posts.<\/p>\n He is right.<\/p>\n Guest bloggers that fail to provide real value are pure black hats, and their websites should be banned from showing up on the Google search engine.<\/p>\n Guest blogging that provides real value is what I\u2019m talking about here. That\u2019s the real guest blogging that will grow your traffic, authority, and followers.<\/p>\n Gregory Ciotti used guest blogging to build 36,733 email subscribers.<\/p>\n Guest blogging is perfect for generating high-quality traffic.<\/p>\n For example, Alex Turnbull reached over 1 million people through guest blogging alone.<\/p>\n There are many blogs out there with a huge, engaged audience. Why not guest post on them to drive traffic back to your website?<\/p>\n Guest blogging has been a very effective marketing strategy for a long time, and it will continue to be as long as you\u2019re providing real value to other people\u2019s blog.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your new blog is set up, and it has a fabulous looking design.
