Getting Traffic And Lots Of It
I am completely impressed by many of Alex Jeffreys other students who have taken massive action when it comes to “just doing it.” Alex has given some great advice and coaching on getting the traffic to out websites but man, what good is it if I haven’t much content on my site?
I admit that I have been slow to write concerning the training and implementing the much needed work that it takes to get this website flowing. This is proof however that it does take work and effort to successfully build a profitable online business that provides value and service.
I have taken so much time in creating products that I have completely neglected how I was going to drive traffic to my website and get people interested in who I am and what I have to offer. Module 4 of Alex Jeffreys coaching was dedicated to help us start to drive traffic and a lot of it. I now realize that I need content to drive traffic to.
Yes, this makes sense but when you aren’t used to running your own business, it can quickly become overwhelming and I really see now why so many people quit. Not me though, because I am really going to make this work. I won’t accept failure this time when I have so many other times before. I encourage you to get your blogs going and get it filled with content.
Not just a bunch of words either but real content. How you did this or that works because others will have a need for what you are going through too. I have been going through some of the other students blogs and am impressed with how much they comment on each others sites. This in and of itself has caused me to surf around finding great content. I remind you that content is coming from complete beginners too.
This is also proof to me that I need not be some internet marketing guru to get seen online. It all begins with crawling, then baby steps until eventually I am running full speed much like Alex Jeffreys is. Posting on this blog once or twice a week is not acceptable when desiring to do this full time. Where are my priorities?
Now for getting traffic to my site I will be trying some things this week and I’ll be posting exactly what I did and how I did it. My entire focus will be on social bookmarking and web 2.0 traffic. People more and more are becoming social networking freaks. I must learn to do the same. It looks as though people are interested in creating relationships again. I must say I am glad.
Along with writing on my blog, I’ll be surfing around and posting to others blogs which I find interesting, informative and helpful. It will not be hard to tell which ones are dedicated and which ones aren’t. Leaving comments about what you read is important as this leaves back links to your site and gives others a sense of your knowledge and authority.
Align yourself with the successful and even if they are newbies, you can create relationships and potentially joint venture projects with them. Those of you who don’t know, I create my own graphics and if your budget is tight, just let me know and I’ll be glad to help with ebook covers, video covers, headers and footers, or whatever else I can help you with.
People helping people will help me to succeed and I must do all I can to provide my knowledge and services so I can build a name and reputation for myself online. Giving is truly receiving. I hope you find this post useful and I want you to begin to work on traffic generation by looking into social bookmarking. It really will work and I’ll be proving it to you shortly. Until next time…

Hey Michael! I love your site and especially your top headline thing. (Lol… I worked late this morning and my brain has stopped functioning for a bit.) You really did a great job on that!
I am one of Alex’s students and I am checking out everybody’s blog getting ideas. I am really thinking about getting a new header (I knew it would come to me what it was called!) so I might take you up on your offer of help.
Again, your site rocks!

Thanks Beth for the praise. My offer still stands if you would like help witih graphics. I decided to do another header and change my stylesheet so my site is unique to me and nothing like the original download.
Taking some time to change your theme will make it unique and fun also. Don’t be afraid to try new things.
