I Have The Content... Now What

I have this new site

Successful Affiliate Marketer

I'm looking to make this a long term site, something I'm going to be working at to make it a respectable blog in the IM community.

I spent a few days putting a bunch of information into the private section, and I'm using that to try and get opt-ins.

I'm going to be adding one informative post per day to the blog, the type of posts that answer questions that people are frequently asking about internet marketing.

My question now is, how do I get people aware about my blog?

I realize that I only have one post now, but after about another week of posting and I've got the content... how should I go about getting the traffic, getting the people to see that I have good quality information to present, and that I have a private section that they can get free access to.

Here's the tricky part, I would really rather not do article marketing. I've tried it before and I just can't force myself to do it. I know I can get a lot more traffic using other methods because I actually stay focused when I try other things. I just can't stay focused enough on article marketing to make it work for me.

That's not to say that I can't suck it up and write some articles every once in a while, I'm just not good at forcing myself to do it day after day. I'd much rather drive traffic by other means.

Thanks in advance!

      Haha, yeah I thought about that before I got on the computer this morning... stupid me.

      But anyway, after doing some reading of these posts and doing a little thinking I've started to come up with a strategy.

      I just got three different urls for squidoo lenses that I'm going to create and I'm targeting five different keywords with these lenses that I would like to get to page one for by the end of November.

      I'm going to start devoting an hour per day to forum and blog posting.

      I also have $16 worth of adwords credits in my one account, so I'm going to start up an adwords campaign to bring in some traffic.

      That should get me started for today.

    I understand not wanting to do article marketing, but you are already doing the hard part, creating content.

    Why not pay someone to rewrite your daily posts so they can be posted to the article directories?

    I'd suggest trying a few sources to get some initial traffic, such as signatures in relevant im forums, and building a twitter list. Getting the ball rolling initially is the hardest part!

    I would recommend that you start commenting on other IM blogs and also continue to add values to several forums. That is where I would start off for now

      Try this, write a compelling article, and well optimize the article for the keyword you wish to receive traffic from, and there may be a chance of your article ranking top for that keyword since search engines value quality content and thus you may receive huge traffic.

    Try going viral using videos on video sites. Make sure you use your keywords in title and description. Build tons of links using various methods and form various sources. Submit to important directories and search engines.

    Find extra $2 for your adwords campaign, $16 may be to short.
