I have been blogging for just over two months now. Many of my mentoring students have been asking my advice on blogging. I have so far hesitated to teach much about blogging, because its not something I feel I know yet. I feel much more comfortable teaching about things I know.
Well I took a look at Alexa today and noticed that this blog almost hit the top 10,000 most visited sites on the Internet today. I have been seeing success with many of the methods that are unique to blog promotion. I felt it was time to write a post about blog promotion BUT WAIT! I havent even explained why I have this blog thing. I cant really jump into getting traffic to your blog without explaining why I have a blog and why you should have one too; now can I?
Lets go back to my history. I made it online without many of the tools you see me offering today. I had no products. I had no copywriting ability. My search engine ranking data was my key to my original success on the Internet. I would simply create high ranking web-sites for some market and sell the traffic from those sites directly to those who did have copywriiting ability and products. Obviously I no longer recommend that....
