How to Get Massive Traffic
5 Ways to Create a Blog Post Strategy to Gain Exposure and More Traffic
When I started this blog, I had many ideas and tools to get started with a bang. I had been studying Internet Marketing from the top experts in the industry – and a few became great friends. I have had excellent mentors that showed me how and why to do certain marketing aspects – avoiding the ones that didn’t matter.
But, I still had to try it on my own. You can have all the education in the world, but it’s the execution that really starts your training. So today I share some of the things I’ve done to keep me on mark with my goals to getting traffic, getting subscribers, and just plain enjoying the ride!
Custom Twitter Backgrounds to Attract More Twitter Followers
Custom Twitter Backgrounds (see below for examples) can hands down increase your followers! If you are using Twitter to get business exposure then you need as many followers as you can get your hand on.
What if I get a follower who doesn’t appear to be interested in my Twitter topics?
It doesn’t matter. When “SarahJ” becomes a follower of you, your tweets show up in her Feed (where all of HER followers can see what tweets SarahJ’s followers make). So, naturally, someone else in SarahJ’s network will be interested in what you have to say…then that person will follow you too. Now you are showing up in that person’s feed where even more can see what you have to tweet. See how it snowballs??
Starting an Internet Business with Low Budget and Little Starting Knowledge
“I want to start an Internet business but know nothing about it and don’t have a lot of money to start it. Can you point me in the right direction to accomplish this? What are the most lucrative type Internet businesses?”
Dear Entrepreneur – You have quite the journey ahead, but it’s absolutely possible. I can tell you that getting your business online or even starting a blog would be a smart move…it’s just where things are headed.
Starting a blog is honestly your best bet on a low budget. You can start your own WordPress blog (wordpress.com) for free – it will just take time. You can create your own look and feel by choosing a theme.
Low-to-No Cost Methods for Driving Traffic
Not everyone can afford thousands of dollars to spend on hiring a web development and marketing team to help them keep up with the more than 200,000,000 blogs out there alone. I was just on a forum and saw this question:
Does anyone have any suggestions for low to no cost methods for marketing the service offered by one’s website?
I thought I’d share my reply for you to also benefit from…
My boss wrote a free report on “101 Realistic Ways to Bring Traffic to Your Web Site”. We give it to all of our clients once we publish their website and it is an AMAZING resource. Most of the methods are ways without spending at money, just time.
Custom Twitter Backgrounds to Double Followers
In a previous blog post, “What is Twitter, Facebook, Digg, Del.icio.us, Flickr, Squidoo, and all the others?” I wrote about what Twitter is. “Twitter is a free social messaging utility for staying connected in real-time. You can type posts of up to 160 characters (called “Tweets”) about what’s on your mind (about the weather, your business, sports updates, anything!)”
HereNextYear has been working on developing custom Twitter design backgrounds for clients. This is key to getting more followers for your Twitter account. Marty couldn’t have said it better in his blog post, “5 Steps to Getting 2000 or More Followers on Twitter“.

What is Twitter, Facebook, Digg, Del.icio.us, Flickr, Squidoo, and all the others?
You’ve heard about Twitter and Flickr, Digg and Facebook, right? But maybe you have no idea what they do, or why so many people care about them.
The whole point of the sites below is to build and expand your ONLINE network. Similar to going to a conference or “belly to belly” networking luncheon – These sites are a way for you to login to a website to create that same experience – but on a much larger scale. At a luncheon, you may get 10-15 business cards? Online, there are people that have a network of over 100,000! Seek these people out once you get an account and create your profile, and learn from them.
