Grow Your BLOG Network And Traffic
Growth Over Time
Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow, it doesn't matter what you read in the news. We are in a recession, but what does that mean for you.
Are you working harder to get traffic to your BLOG?
There is no guarantee, but over time a regularly updated BLOG should continue to grow. Growth is ultimately limited only by market size.
What can you do now to grow your BLOG readers and traffic to your site. The ideas below will help you work smarter and faster.
Participate
I joined The Internet Marketing Inner Circle (TIMIC) to network and learn from successful internet marketers. Many that make over $1 Million a year and plenty that make a full time living selling online.
I participate in the forum and in the group projects. It is like having a personal coach help me navigate making money online. Great people and great ideas. I recommend TIMIC to anyone who struggles to make money online.
There are free forums too like Warrior Forum and Webmaster Talk. But I frequent TIMIC. You know what they say about free ... you get what you pay for.
Fill Your RSS Reader
Plan to add 5-10 new RSS Subscriptions to your RSS Reader at least twice a week. This isn't to say that you should load your RSS reader with junk. Subscribe to BLOGs that interest you and unSubscribe from the BLOGs that don't continue to deliver great content.
The RSS URL for The One Penny Project is http://feeds.feedburner.com/OnePennyProject
If you are not currently using an RSS Reader, welcome to 2008. It takes me 10 minutes to review the 58 updated sites in my RSS Reader. That would easily take over an hour if I had to visit each one. And that doesn't include the time saved by using the notepad and save features of my RSS reader.
I use the Google RSS reader at reader.google.com but there are plenty of free readers to choose from.
Get Lucky
I know what you are thinking ... that is another kind of BLOG.
I once read that Luck is when Chance and Opportunity meet. Not that 5 lottery tickets are better then 1 or marketing 100 BLOGs is better then 5.
Opportunity involves learning the skills needed to succeed as a Blogger and putting those skills to use in the right way. It is a circle. The more you learn the better you get and the better you are prepared when an opportunity to get "lucky" comes along.
My current test is almost complete and I will post the results here early next week. Please stop back.
Do what you love and the money will follow.

Good post! Really interesting and useful information.
How does timic compare with wealthy affiliate?
Make Post! Make Post! Make Post! That should always be "first" on any How-to list. Unfortunately, I don't always adhere to my own rules and wind-up making comments in other peoples blogs which "may" bring some added traffic. But nothing attracts search engines like good, freshly updated content. (as you said.)
Participation? Well, like I said. I generally do more participating than posting, so you're right to place that as number 2.
Fill RSS Reader? Now this one I am curious about. "How does filling your RSS reader increase traffic?"
Get Lucky? No such luck. If I do not work for it, it will not come.
