If you’ve been following me closely, you’ll have noticed that things haven’t been going as normal.
I’ve been blogging pretty inconsistently.
I’m not nearly as active on social media platforms as I’ve been in the past.
You aren’t finding my smiling face on other people’s blogs or on marketing forums.
The places where you could expect to see me practically any time you visited, I’m now not showing up at all.
Why?
Note: This plugin seems to no longer be available, but I’ve left this up for historical purposes.
If you want to make more money quickly, you only need to do one of two things.
You need to either expand your reach and increase your traffic, or you need to do more with the traffic you’ve already got.
Now I think it goes without saying that more traffic is always a good thing, but if that traffic isn’t making you any money then it doesn’t help much.
Improving your conversion rate and doing more with the traffic you’ve already got is the best way to develop a profitable system that will serve you well over the long-term. Today, I’d like to share with you a plugin that will help you achieve that.
It’s called CTA Skin.
Going from an ordinary blogger to an extremely successful businessperson is all about scale.
You start off by developing a profitable system. When, and only when you finally have a good system in place, you scale it up as much as you can and reap the rewards.
Of course, neither of those are easy. Many people focus a lot of time on creating a profitable system, because that’s the first vital step. For a moment though, let’s talk about what to do once you’ve got that system in place.
Let’s talk about scaling it up. Let’s talk about building an entire online empire.
Networking with other bloggers in your niche can be extremely powerful. You do not specialize in everything, and there are areas where other bloggers could not only help you grow as an expert in your niche, but provide more value to your readers as well.
Not to mention, networking tends to benefit both parties and allows you to leverage other blogger’s audiences to skyrocket your own growth. There are more blogs than ever competing for your reader’s attention, so you’ll definitely want to make as many friends as you can! For those who are struggling to reach out to other bloggers, here is a step-by-step system that has proven to be very successful. While there is no one-size-fits-all solution for blogger outreach, these tips are solid.Â
I’m a real big fan of automation when it makes sense.
There’s a lot that goes into successful blogging, far beyond just writing great posts. There are a million and one tasks bloggers seem to have to do to keep up, and doing it all on your own can be tedious, intimidating, and exhausting.
Unfortunately, we are not all big companies with teams of employees to delegate tasks to. We do not have email lists greater than the population of the cities we live in. We don’t have a ton of crazy fans willing to do our work for us.
That’s fine. We don’t need to.
There are so many incredible tools available today that can do a lot of the work for us that we used to have to do manually. Let’s take a look at some automation tools I’m using personally that I think you should check out too!
I remember it like it was yesterday…
“Build up a site, throw Google AdSense on it, and collect checks every month!”
The funny thing was, that sort of idea was actually feasible not so long ago. If you had great content and could get people on your site, you actually could make thousands of dollars a month with AdSense alone.
If somebody told me the same thing today, I’d have to wonder what it is they’re going to try and sell me shortly afterwards, because making money from AdSense is not quite as easy as it was just a few years ago. Here are four reasons why building a business around AdSense may be a bad idea, and what I’d do instead if I were starting out today.Â
