Waiting for traffic? GO FIND IT.
I'm really surprised to see so many people waiting, waiting and waiting for traffic to take place organically. Life is not about waiting but in contrary, Life is about you and me making the best out of it by taking advantage of every opportunity available to us. ALWAYS REMEMBER You have the control of it, don't let anybody nor the circumstances (ORGANIC TRAFFIC) dictate who and when you can have success.
Having said that, It seen to be that the recipe that most people here is following: Get trained, find your niche, post your article and images, publish your site and wait (Mind you, I believe in those step but if you need to speed up, you need to be proactive with your marketing).
This is why I want to share with y'all some of the STEPS I personally use to create tons of traffic.
Once you finish your site foundations and you have published your site, consider the following:
1. Write relevant articles on all or any:
Squidoo.com
Hubpages.com
Isnare.com
Goarticles.com
Getarticlesdone.com
Ezinearticles.com
Articlecity.com
Technorati.com
Buzzle.com
Suite101.com
Seekingalpha.com
Associatedcontent.com
Examiner.com
Articlesbase.com
Xomba.com
Flixya.com
Bukisa.com
Triond.com
Hellum.com
Oondi.com
Shetoldme.com
Digitaljournal.com
2. Answer questions based on you niche on sites like:
Answers.Yahoo.com, AllExperts.com and JustAnswer.com.
By providing quality advice on subjects related to your sites, visitors to those site will most likely visit your site after reading your comments.
3. Social bookmarking is another source for building traffic. I've notice many people are not using social media to create a buzz on your post.
Twitter
Pinterest
Facebook
Google +
MySpace
StumbleUpon
Reddit
Delicious
Digg
Tweetmeme
Fark
Slashdot
Friendfeed
Clipmarks
Newsvine
LiveJournal
Meet Up
Orkut
MyLife
Ning

4. Facebook groups and google+ communities This are great way to promote your blog post to boost your traffic.
Next time you are on Facebook or Google+, look for groups in your niche and join them, once you are a member become active on those communities and post links to your blog every so often with relevant topics to the group.
Maintaining yourself proactive and engaged in the social world is the key to your success as a marketer. Stop waiting and GO GET THEM!
I'll be posting more STEPS to proactive marketing soon.
Till next time,

Great information, thank you, Lucan. A lot of sites I've never heard of beyond the usual social networks. I can see I'm going to be busy!
Hi Natalia, Im glad you discover something new. If you're really serious about this business, you'll find out that the only difference from this model and the mortal and brick business model is the overhead (much lower) and the freedom you have to work from anywhere in the world, BUT the rest is the same, planning - strategy, research- hiring, etc. Of course this only applies if you want to be reach your FULL Potential.
Till next time.
Hi Lucan - this is a really thought provoking post.
I've known about ask.com etc for while - but just used them as a look up page for some things. It's staring me right in the face - but I never thought about trying to join those communities, and help answer the questions.
Thanks for refocussing me!!
All the best, Mark
