Blogging to Build Your List

©2008 Doug Champigny. All rights reserved.

Let’s face it – targeted traffic and list building are the two most important aspects of Internet marketing and the list building aspect depends on the targeted traffic volume. If you don’t have much traffic through your website, it stands to reason that you won’t have a very large opt-in list, doesn’t it?

There are a multitude of touted ways to drive traffic. Ad exchanges, writing and marketing articles and joint ventures are just some of them. One of the best ways to drive targeted traffic and thus build your opt-in list that is sometimes overlooked is through blogging.

Every method of driving traffic and building opt-in lists depends on advertising in some form. It may not be called advertising but that is still exactly what it is and the problem is that people HATE advertising. Advertising is the bread and butter of Internet marketing and the bane of Internet surfers. That’s a problem.

One solution to this love/hate relationship is to disguise advertising so that it doesn’t look like advertising, walk like advertising or talk like advertising but is still advertising, nonetheless. Blogging is your solution.

Internet surfers just love blogs! They love the fact that they get to put their two cents worth in on any topic they choose to discuss. People love to post to blogs but they love to read posts made by others as well. That’s where you come in to blog for the purpose of driving traffic and building your opt-in list.

Go join blogging communities that have topics related to the products or services that you sell. Get to know the other regular bloggers on the site. Take you time. Post thoughtful and helpful information to the site pertaining to the topic and include your website address in your signature tag at the bottom of every post. If you know what you are talking about, the other bloggers will click on your sig tag and visit your website where they then become ‘traffic’ and have the opportunity to join your opt-in list.

Today it’s push-button simple to add a blog to your own sites using cPanel and Fantastico – don’t miss out on this powerful traffic, and thus list, tool – get your blog on now! If you’re not a person who likes to write, consider getting some PLR Articles on your niche and simply editing them enough to be unique content. Chances are you already know that PLR articles make great site content, but have you thought of using them on your blogs too?

I recently released a PLR package on Building Your Opt-In Lists - it consisted of a PLR e-book and 20 related PLR articles. That’s the sort of package you want to find. Why? Because a salespage selling your own version of a PLR e-book is a good thing - but back it up with a 10-page site, a blog with 5 or 6 posts and 4 or 5 articles submitted to the article directories and you have a money making machine that gets indexed fast! Or you could use 10 of the articles for a blog, and the other 10 as an e-course - just remeber to link each post and each e-mail back to your salespage!

So build your list by building your traffic - and use PLR articles to help you build both. It’s a lot less work to trewrite a PLR article than to create one from scratch, so you can be done in half the time!

Happy Blogging…

Just a quick heads-up today to let you
know that only about 1/4 of the spaces are left
in the http://www.EasyArticlesPro.com  site…

It’s no wonder the site is filling up fast -
EAP lets you download 100 PLR articles each month
for about 17 cents each. Not only do you get
25 articles in each of 4 niches each month, but we
even throw in 2 different professionally-designed
headers for each niche each month, both in JPG &
PSD format.

People who have already joined love the site -
just read through the testimonials on the salespage.
You can do really well - but you have to act right
now, because almost 3/4 of the spaces have filled
up in the first 12 days - get over to the site at
http://www.EasyArticlesPro.com  now and lock in
your low lifetime rate!

(Here’s an inside tip - once the cap is hit,
the door will be closed to new people - and if it
reopens down the road to cover people who drop
out, it’ll be at either $27.00 or $47.00 - get in
now while you can lock in at $17.00 - it’ll never
be this low again.)

See You There…

PS - If you want a really easy way to turn these
PLR articles into unique websites, remember to
pick up the Article Site Kit Pro to use with them
from http://www.Marketmy.com/article-sites/ . With
the ASKPro program, the newest of newbies can build
all 4 monthly sites and get them online in one night
per month!

Picking the best niches and researching them is time
consuming and repetitive, which is probably why people are
jumping onto EasyArticlesPro.com  even faster
than they did with Niche PLR. NichePLR filled 100 spots
in 5 days, EAP is at 102 in just 3 days - good thing there’s
still 198 positions left open, because it gives you time to
get in too

Since the site delivers 50 PLR articles per month, 25 in
each of 2 niches, it’s only natural that some of the new
people to get into the site have written asking the best
way to use their PLR articles. So let’s take a quick look at
the best ways to do that…

The simplest and quickest way to use them is to use
the Article Sites Kit - http://www.MarketMy.com/article-sites/
to make a site - it makes each page unique by adding some
snippets & links from the other articles, automatically
adds your Adsense and Amazon ads, builds your navigation
and even creates a sitemap for you.

A good result, obviously, but not necessarily the best
one. Another plan is to use 15 of the articles that way,
and use the other ten to populate a blog on the same site.
Build the 15-page site and put it online, then use your
cPanel’s Fantastico to install a WP blog. If you’re not
sure how to do that, watch the video on it I did for you
as 5 Minute WordPress Blogs. Add
one article to your blog each day, or every other day,
and be sure to use http://www.Pingoat.com after every
posting to let the directories know.

Why is that better? Your blog has allowed you to take
advantage of the Web 2.0 style of sites, getting links to
your new site from the blog directories. This gets you a
few more visitors, and can help the major search engines
find and index your sites faster.

To add even more draw to the site, add a ‘videos’ folder
to the site, and use the Instant Video Site Generator from
http://www.Internet-Audio-Video.com/video-sites/  to add a
few pages of related videos as well. Again this helps draw
more people to the site over time, and helps make the site
more unique again.

To really max out your effect with each niche site, use
10 of the articles on the site, add the videos, put 10 of
the articles onto your blog, one every 2 or 3 days, and
put the remaining 5 articles into your e-zine for the site.
First though, check at www.PDCBA.com  for related
products from ClickBank & PDC, and at cj.com  if
there’s nothing at the first two. Grab your affil links &
some related copy from those sites…

Naturally, start by putting those links on your article
pages, video pages and blog postings, then set up your
e-zine with an article the first two days, a push for one
of the affil products on day 3, and article or 4, an affil
product on day 5, etc. On the last day, split the e-mail
between the two products. This gives you a total of 9
issues in the e-zine, so space them out to two a week for
a month, or once aweek for two months. Remember to invite
them back to visit your site again in the PS of each of
the article issues.

Finally, pick a couple of articles from your site, a
couple from your blog and one from your e-zine and re-write
them, saving each as a new .txt file. Add your Author’s
Resource Box to the bottom of each with a link back to
the site, and spend a day making the rounds and dropping
them off at the article directories. This brings more
visitors, helps the engines find your site to index, and
can even boost your PageRank.

You must admit, that’s a lot of power, especially since
we’ve brought you both generators and your first 50 articles
for under a hundred bucks, with only 5 bucks a month that
is ongoing, to enable you to build 2 more sites a month!

PS - Remember, it all starts with being one of the next
198 people to lock in your monthly PLR articles from
http://www.EasyArticlesPro.com . Add in the generators:
http://www.MarketMy.com/article-sites/  and
http://www.Internet-Audio-Video.com/video-sites/  and
you’re well armed for the online battle, with a steady
supply of ammunition - now go on out and win your battle!

Here’s A True Break For You…

It’s going to be a big day online today - you’re going
to be deluged with e-mails about another mega-launch for
those with REALLY deep pockets and plenty of time on their
hands - 500 of them, to be exact. But waht about all the
real people, those struggling to get going or to boost
what they get back for all their efforts? Who’s got a site
to help them out, WITHOUT breaking their banks?

Well, you’ll be pleased to know that that big launch
made us change our plans with a new site we’re launching
today - especially since you’ll be getting a real break
on this one…

This morning we put the finishing touches on our new
Easy Articles Pro membership site. Quite simply, it’s
a service that gives you niche articles to use on your
sites, blogs & in your e-zines, along with the header
graphics to make them into sites.

Each month your get two topics, each with 25 articles
and 2 sets of headers, in both JPG and PSD formats. That’s
50 articles a month, every month. Alter them, rewrite them,
use the Article Site Kit Pro to make unique sites from the
articles - but use them each month to grow your online
empire steadily.

And in response to the huge launch today, we’ve decided
to let the first 300 Charter Members get the whole shooting
match for just five bucks a month. Yup, 50 articles, 2 sets
of graphics - 5.00 a month. You can get all the info you
need from http://www.EasyArticlesPro.com - head on over now
and give yourself a REAL break, ok?

Helping You Make 2008 GREAT…

PS - Unlike sites with 500, 1,000 or 1,500 people on the
inside, the site is capped at 300 people. Then the doors
close, and if they reopen to replace people, it’ll be at
either $17 or $27 a month. So if you want in for just 5 bucks
a month, you’ll have to be one of those first 300 people
to get inside at http://www.EasyArticlesPro.com. See you
on the inside!

Helping you succeed… DC.
