Best course about generating traffic (and/or leads) to business blog?

Hi Micheal, you got a good but vast question, what most people want to know

Hi Michael. The best way to promote your content is to spend time researching what type of content your audience is lacking, and aim to write for virality. What this means is that you actually spend MORE time (I know you said you'd like to spend less time) on the piece of content itself in order to make it pitch-able to the big content house (HuffPost, Elite Daily, Forbes etc). Also, make sure you drop it on BuzzFeed and your social audiences. If you don't yet have a large Facebook audience, set as large of a budget as possible for an audience (likes) building campaign. You can target your demo precisely with Facebook's audiences. Make sure your content is optimized for organic reach (SEO) as well, including your money keyword in the title. Also, stay away from written content. Video, infographic and interactive content are the way to go, and make sure to draw on the heartstrings of your readers. Content that includes emotional appeal is 100% more likely to go viral. The biggest obstacle to digital PR and content marketing is when the niche is mind numbingly boring. In this case, it takes a lot of deep digging and creativity to write something valuable, but it can be done. Hope this helps.

PM if you would like a better description. No I am not an affiliate!

I'd look at anything from Chris Record. He specializes in traffic generation training and has a history of producing quality content. His stuff is expensive though. Hope that helps

Is the traffic generation for you to get leads and visitors, or do you want to offer the traffic as a paid service?

Ben Adkins is great and focuses on traffic generation.

If its a course your looking at, id advise getting ben adkins $1 trail membership to adlab, as you also get 2 other MAJOR traffic generation courses.

I could write loads on this subject, but because this is only a small forum, its hard to fit it and can only skim over the surface.

Hope this helps, if it does, hit the thanks button

I learned all the SEO from Eric Lancheres and that's responsible for about 1/2 the traffic to my ecommerce store, I learned Facebook ads from Ben Adkins and Curt Maly... and I'm still learning Youtube!

Facebook is pretty damn easy, SEO is still the most profitable if you can get it right. Start with one!

i recommend you follow Pat Flynn and Neil Patel

No offense to any previous posters, but the information in most IM traffic products is either too basic to be of any use, or is simply available for free if you're willing to do the leg work, and flip through the virtual pages of WF. You'll be hard pushed to find a traffic generation product (ebook, for instance) that avoids pandering to the inexperienced. The so-called gurus in this industry have become more than adept at dressing up their products in order to appeal to the masses. And I know this from first-hand experience. I absorb information every day of the working week, and even have a small team to help me to so. Rarely will you find paid products (on traffic generation) that are worth the time spent reading them, let alone the price tag. Good reason for it, too, and you won't hear a guru tell you this: the value of a good traffic generation model is far greater than the income you will ever receive for selling that information. 9 times out of 10, the guru, or whichever moniker you wish to give them, will tap the traffic system to the point of near saturation, and will at that point sell the information. It makes business sense for them (unethical though it is): they ride the wave, then sell the (out-dated) knowledge. I am generalizing, yes, but put it this way: traffic generating models change, often month to month, and I literally am not able to recommend 1 product that I've come across this year.

So, what are you to do? Simple, and it needn't cost you a cent. You can do exactly what I started doing 22 years ago. This:

• Figure out where your audience hangs out.
• Learn how best to tap into that traffic by scouring the web for information and, also, by simply running your own tests.

You find good traffic models by yourself. Seriously. Rarely do you ever pay for them in a 50 buck eBook. The information is simply too valuable.

To get more traffic you have to use social media and if you want to organic traffic than you have to do Onpage and offpage SEO.

There are a few basic things and if you stick to them you can see improvement in the short term:Make sure your content is optimized for organic reach (SEO) as well, including your money keyword in the title. Also, stay away from written content. Video, infographic and interactive content are the way to go, and make sure to draw on the heartstrings of your readers

Generating traffic is not that very difficult if you have a proper planning. And most people who are struggling to get traffic; don't have proper planning/mindset.

First of all there are mainly two ways to generate traffic -
1. Using Free techniques; such as SEO, Social Media
2. Using paid techniques which includes PPC, Media buying etc.

Now first you need to decide the medium whether you want to opt for free or paid techniques. If you want to opt for paid techniques; you should have considerable amount of money in your pocket. It is suggested that you start with free traffic generation methods; once you master that you can start experimentation with paid traffic source also.

But most important thing here is to start rather than looking for so called "course". Because the information that you will get from those course are easily available via blogs, forums also.

There are many free and paid course on Internet and I will suggest you to to get the course from online Ustaad which is run by Abdul wali.

I have a site that recently and un expectantly suddenly took off with traffic and adsense conversions without any SEO. I have no idea other than It may have got some traffic from a visitor who shared one of my posts on Stumbleupon. Let me know if you can help me figure out what happened as it would benefit both of us.

Do you know how you are interesting in driving traffic?

Are you interested in paid traffic? free traffic? etc?

What traffic generation method do you want to learn? If you want to drive traffic with content marketing I would learn from Neil Patel (NeilPatel.com). If you like Facebook you might want to read Jon Loomer's blog,he's an expert at Facebook PPC. If you like SEO check out SEOMoz.com.

I've had some very good results personally, using local groups on Facebook to drive traffic.

Generally I private message the administrators of the group and ask if they mind if I post articles that I've written that will help local businesses, I don't directly pitch to anyone but rather focus on how to do X,Y,Z and they are free to contact me after clicking through the link to the full text of the article on my site.

Usually the moderators will let you do this if you respect their authority in the groups that you wish to post on, as long as you make it very clear that there will be no direct pitching. They need good content posted on their groups that will genuinely help their users, it's a win-win for both of you.

Hope this helps you out and I wish you nothing but success. :-)

Peace,
EJ
