The past few weeks have been an incredible learning curve, as it should be for any newbie who is having a go at starting a blog online, there are many parts to blog marketing, but the most important one is generating traffic to your blog. We all need visitors to our website or blog, without it, it's just a wasted exercise.
Even before I decided to spend time on my online adventure, I had that niggling feeling in my mind, how on earth was I going to get any traffic to my website. If you have no experience of internet marketing, this is the one thing that can stop you in your tracks, or even put you off from ever getting your online business up and running at all.
The trouble is that, when you research what are the best ways for getting traffic to your website, that's when it all gets very confusing. Let me explain, there are tons of successful marketers online, they have all managed to get the traffic they needed to do this. Now that's great, but they all seem to have got their traffic in different ways.
When anyone new comes along, they try to find out how to get this traffic; they are swamped with lots of different ideas and techniques. This gives the newbie marketer a big headache, as they don't know what method to start first, or how many traffic methods to use. It's very confusing, but don't let it put you off.
What I have found out through lots of research, is that, yes there are tons of ways to get traffic to your website or blog, in one way or another they all work, in their own way. However forget about trying to do lots of different traffic methods at the same time, this will only succeed in you being totally frustrated with the whole internet marketing experience.
As a home online business, you are on your own; therefore you only have a limited amount of time to get anything done. If you are like me, you are more than likely to have another job to do, so your time is very limited. The best way forward is to think of your internet marketing as a long term venture, something that you are going to benefit from in your future.
This will then enable you to take a more relaxed approach to getting traffic and building your business. The one traffic generating method that has surprised me, whilst I have been doing my research, is that article marketing is a key theme in getting traffic. Remember it is a long term strategy, it won't get you traffic overnight. But nothing will, unless you pay for it, and that's very risky, if you don't know what you are doing.
From my experience, the experts that I have read about, who appear to be doing well online, all tell you the same thing. Online marketing is a long term business, building your traffic over time, having a routine, and sticking to it, eventually will get you the traffic you need. So be patient.
To your success,
