I am finishing up a 30-day challenge from the book Traffic Secrets: The Underground Playbook for Filling Your Websites and Funnels with Your Dream Customers. This post is sponsored and I wanted to share some of my personal take aways from Traffic Secrets and how I plan to use what I’ve learned to grow my blog traffic.
The book is geared towards someone selling a product and bringing traffic to your website where they can purchase this product. I don’t have a product to sell, but I learned a bunch of marketing tips and some new perspectives on how to approach my blogging. I do use affiliate links and am in a way ‘selling’ things on a smaller scale with those. And you could say the product I’m selling is me.
I’m leaning to be more intentional with my posts.
How can sharing my experiences help someone else? How can someone else benefit from reading a post on my blog?
And as much as I love to write for myself, there’s a reason I put so much effort into my blog and share my writing in a public place. I want to connect with people. I want to help people.
And of course I would love for my blog to be a successful business.
Reading Traffic Secrets has made me rethink how I can grow my audience. First figuring out who my audience could be and should be and then finding where they already are on the internet. Who they’re following, what websites they’re going to, etc.
This is where I should be hanging out on the internet. On Instagram I was using #s for bloggers. (#floridablogger #lifestyleblogger #styleblogger etc). As much as I love networking and connecting with other bloggers, they are not my ideal audience. I want people who follow me to be consuming content, not creating their own. As a new mom, a lot of my content is baby/parenting related. Someone who could learn from my content would probably be a new or expecting mom. I’ve started using more relevant hashtags – #newmom #momlife #boymom etc.
I work hard on creating content and writing my blog posts. But what’s even harder is getting people to find me and read my content. And more importantly, having the right people find me.
Even though the 30 day challenge is coming to an end, I plan to continue reading Traffic Secrets and using what I learn to make my blog a successful business.
