October 22, 2012 Leave a comment
This is not such a direct website traffic tip like my other tips. But it’s probably one of the most important tips you could learn in getting free website traffic for your site. It’s all good having tips that you can follow step-by-step to get the traffic but unless you have a plan of action and follow that to the t then you will not succeed in achieving your goals.
At least that’s kind of how I see it. I believe there’s no point in doing lots of things all at the same time. But rather doing one thing at a time until it’s done so I can move on to the next thing that needs doing. The same can apply when you need to do things online for your website or business to get more traffic to your site.
You probably know a handful of methods to get free website traffic off the top of your head by now and no doubt have lots of projects running on your PC for different link building methods going. I would imagine a large number of people go in and out of jobs they need to do and don’t really achieve big results in one particular area because they are not fully concentrating on it but putting their time and energies into other things as well.
Persistence Defeats Resistance = Achieve Your Goals!
When it comes to achieving results persistence defeats resistance; you can achieve your goals if you work hard at it and focus your time and efforts into that one area. This includes building traffic to your site using free traffic building methods. You must have a plan of action in mind. A marketing strategy or blueprint that you can follow similar to a check list of things you need to do if you will and this will increase your production levels!
So how to come up with a marketing plan? Brainstorm! Grab a pen and a pad and write it down! Honestly, this seems to help much more than just thinking it in your head. Create a list of things you need to do and then tick them off when they are done. You will be surprised at how much you can achieve!
Start Big and End Small or Start Small and End Big?
If you’re like me you like to do your small jobs first before you do your big ones right? Well sometimes the biggest jobs need doing first but often you can’t do them until you do the small jobs first. So start with the small jobs first and don’t even think about starting on the bigger jobs until all the small steps are done first! Of course the complete opposite may work for you but the point is to complete one job at a time.
So if you want to build a lot of free traffic to your site and you know there are a lot of ways to do it but don’t know which one way to start on or which one way to stick with then write it down. Some people like myself save jobs in spreadsheets on my PC and allocate and even outsource jobs to other people on freelancer and microjob sites. But the best thing is to write it down first so you can mess up, cross out things and re-order them.
List out all the things you want to do in order that you would most prefer or need to do them in. Then list out all the steps, step-by-step that you need to take to get that job done. You could even create calendar events and attach a note with the jobs that need completing for that day and the steps needed.
The notepad next to your PC/Laptop is a good idea. You can create a new page for each day with new things to do and get them all done. Or using sticky notes is a good one also. Write out 30 days worth of jobs to do and peal one off everyday for a new job. 🙂
