HELP!

Hi there,

I've been lurking for a while and I really need someone, anyone to give me some advise about my blog. It's so crazy because I tried to pay 2 people from fivver to critique my account and both gigs fell through for whatever reason... Idk, is the universe trying to tell me to hang it up already?!

I asked someone here, but nothing....I just want someone to tell me what's wrong with my site. I'm trying not to give up, I get very little traffic. I do article syndication, but I've been so discouraged that I barely do that now.

If someone could just take a minute and give me their opinion I would REALLY appreciate it.

I think Im too new to put my link up... www dot ydessentials dot com

thank you

    What do you do to create traffic other than article syndication? Have you tried to motivate people to share your links on social media? Are you active on any forums where your target group gathers?

    Otherwise I feel that the best way to drive in traffic is to offer content that people want. I like your pages layout and I feel that the writing is good. But it's good remember that the space your looking at is very competitive so the results might not show right away.

    Keep at it! And keep in mind where your target group might be and keep thinking what could be the best way to contact them.

    Bless you! Thank you Diversion52!

    There's 2 things I need to work on... not having the time to post on forums and social media like I want, And.. feeling weird about doing it...=(

    The first thing that you should do now is to get your scattered hopes back.
    After that, develop your blog. Write new things, I mean more updated ones which can be very useful for the people. It is okay if you pay experts to help you with your work, but do not rely everything to them, you as the owner should be very tough, competitive and ready in the promoting process. Also, it is alright to think of the negatives, but do not stay in it because it will just screw-up everything. You will just be more discouraged.

    All you need to do now is to be active in forums, do forum posting, it will help you not only to tell the people about your blog, it will also let you have more idea about the updates and the must-writes. Moreover, feel free to take advantage of the social media. It can also help you in gaining more traffic to your blog. And, you can also try guest posting, and contact other bloggers to do posts exchange.

      Right now all I do is article syndication, but I've been getting discouraged and have slacked on that quite a bit. Im still a 9-5'er so I dont have as much time as I would like.

    Do you guys think that people might be turned off by my network marketing company intergrated in my site? I do have some affiliate products I could promote instead.

      I would stop using that. I suggest you build just high quality pagerank backlinks by guest posting. These have much more authority and will rank you higher. Also focus on building subscribers too, I learnt the hard way as well.

        I'm currently in the process of building my list of subscribers, constructing my blog and associated sites, etc, and I can honestly say that it's tough in the beginning when it seems like nothing is working - but then you get a person sign up to your list, then two, then handful more, and before you know it you're into double and triple figures... then you make a sale and "BANG" your motivation goes through the roof!

        Just hang in there and keep plugging away, even a little bit each day. It's often hard to tell day by day how much progress you're making but provided you consistently put in some effort to both learning new things and building your web business then you'll definitely see some level of success in the future even if it's not immediately evident from one day to the next.

        Fast forward to a year from now... if you keep applying yourself to this day in day out, learning and growing your websites and followers, how can you possibly not be in a better position!

            Article marketing is not as effective as it used to be. You should focus on guest posting to sites which have a good Alexa rank, good readership, followers and high PR.

            Doing this will give you great SEO benefit and also a possibility of some referred traffic. Hope this helps

        So you think I should stop doing Article Marketing all together? What about the intergration of my NM business products, should I take that off my site as well?

        Thank you for your insight! =)

    You just need to build traffic, and not be looking for critique. Try to focus on rpmoting it, seo'ing it. This forum has lots of valuable staff about all this, just learn and implement, it takes time but pays back.
