How To Get More People From Pinterest To Visit Your Blog

January 12, 2014 by Marc Guberti 8 Comments

pinterest logo

For the first time ever, my blog experienced back to back days of getting more than 20 visitors from Pinterest. Before this happened, I would normally get 5 visitors from Pinterest on a daily basis. I looked into what I did on Pinterest that day, and it didn’t take me long to realize why I got the growth in traffic.

The first thing I did was follow others. I must have followed at least 1,000 people on Pinterest on those days when I got more traffic. The following rate on Pinterest is about 300 people every hour. Once you reach the maximum rate, you can go back on Pinterest the next hour and follow another 300 people. That’s exactly what I did on those two days when I got more traffic from Pinterest than ever before.

When you follow other people on Pinterest, make sure they are your target audience. I follow people who are following boards about social media and blogging. I also make sure the people I follow are likely to follow me back. On the days my blog gets the most traffic from Pinterest, I am also gaining more Pinterest followers on that day than on any other day of the week.

Another thing you need to do is have a board with all of your blog posts. This is the board that I pin all of my blog posts on. When you write a blog post, it is very important to add pictures to your blog posts so people can pin your blog posts. Add pictures that give people an idea of what your blog post is about. This blog post has a picture of Pinterest’s logo because people who look at my board and find this pin will know what this blog post is about. When people see the YouTube logo, they know that the blog post is about YouTube videos.

When you have a board with over a hundred pins, not everyone is going to scroll down to the bottom of your board. Some of your older blog posts will be forgotten…unless you pin about them again. By pinning about your older blog posts, you will give your older blog posts relevance. People will visit your older blog posts just like they would visit any new blog post. If you decide to use this method, only pin 5 old blog posts every day. If you pin 100 old blog posts daily, people won’t have time to read them all. In addition, if you only have a few hundred posts, people will be annoyed with the repeat pins. It is okay to pin the same thing more than once on a board as long as you pin the same thing too often. I recommend pinning the same blog post on the same board once a week.

That’s how you can increase the traffic you get from Pinterest. I used these tactics to go from 5 daily visitors from Pinterest to over 50 daily visitors from Pinterest. The only way to see what this can do for your traffic is by giving it a try.

5 Things To Consider In Order To Choose The Best Guest Blogging Opportunity

January 12, 2014 by Marc Guberti 2 Comments

Guest blogging is a powerful way to get more traffic to your blog and to get more people to know about you. When you find options, choosing where to guest blog can be a challenge. Here are 5 things to consider so you can choose the best guest blogging opportunity for you.

  1. Is the guest blog related to what you want to write about? When you guest blog, you want to reach your targeted audience. When the targeted audience goes to your blog, they will want to stay on your blog for a while.
  2. How many times are blog posts getting shared? Are the typical blog posts getting tweeted an average of 10 times or 100 times? The more times a blog post gets shared on the guest blog, the better.
  3. What is the approval process? How likely is it for your blog post to get approved, and how long does the approval process take. Go for guest blogs that approve a lot and have a quick approval process (1-3 days).
  4. What are the requirements? Do you have to write 300 words, or do you have to write 1,000 words? If you can write 1,000 words, and you want to, then go for it. However, writing 300 words is easier than writing 1,000 words.
  5. What’s the Alexa rank? Alexa is a powerful tool that allows you to see how any website ranks on the web. Alexa also shows bounce rate, the daily page views per visitors, and how long visitors stay on the site. Any guest blog with an Alexa rank under 1 million most likely gets 100+ visitors every day. The lower the Alexa rank, the more visitors that blog gets.

Guest blogging is a powerful way to reach a larger audience, but in order to choose the best guest blogging opportunity, you have to consider the target audience, how long it will take for you to write a blog post that will be approved, the benefits, and the amount of visitors that guest blog receives. There are many options, but only a few of those options are the cream of the crop.

Why You Need To Start Guest Blogging

January 11, 2014 by Marc Guberti 10 Comments

guest blogging

Guest bloggers publish their content on other people’s blogs. You may be wondering why guest bloggers post on other people’s blogs instead of their own blogs. However, guest bloggers are able to use guest blogging to get more traffic to their blogs. You may be a guest blogger, but you may know someone who isn’t a guest blogger. You may be someone who hasn’t guest blogged and wanted to know the benefits of guest blogging. You have come to the right post.

Guest blogging allows bloggers to put their content in front of a larger audience. There are blogs that are getting thousands of daily visitors and offer guest blogging opportunities. I commonly guest blog for Business2Community which gets thousands of daily visitors. When I first started to guest blog for Business2Community, my blog was getting 20-50 visitors every day. Now, my blog is getting over 200 visitors every day.

Guest blogging also improves your blog’s SEO. You can include a backlink to your blog either in the blog post or in your bio. This backlink will help you get more traffic, and quality backlinks are a factor in SEO. Not only will you get more short-term traffic, but you will also get more long-term traffic as well.

Guest blogging will ultimately allow you to increase your traffic short-term and long-term. More people will be sharing your content, and if you thank them quick enough, you can get a long conversation going on a social network. Guest blogging is a wonderful opportunity to get more people to know about your presence on the web.

How To Make A Blog Post Go Viral On Twitter

January 11, 2014 by Marc Guberti 8 Comments

Going viral is the dream that everyone has with a blog or product. With a blog post, you can give people your credentials while going viral. When you write the blog post, make sure your credentials blend in with the entire post because viral posts are not about credentials.

How you write about what you choose is one factor that goes into writing a blog post that goes viral. Many blog posts that go viral are blog posts of incredible stories (not a lot of credentials though). Other blog posts go viral because they offer top-notch advice. In order to have a viral blog post, your blog post has to be one of quality.

Another factor that goes into having a viral blog post is by talking about someone or something that people admire. There are a lot of sports figures, teachers, and other people that are admired by many people. Write a powerful blog post about that person or thing.

When you finish the blog post, it is not going to go viral on its own. Creating a blog post does not necessarily mean “the people will come”. People have to learn about your blog from somewhere.

Here comes the viral part. In order to make your blog post go viral on Twitter, you need to use Twitter’s search engine to find people who are interested in what you just wrote your blog about. Have conversations with the people who tweeted recently about what you just blogged about. At the end of the conversation, ask the person to look at your blog post about what you were just talking about.

If you do this with 100 people a day, those 100 people will tell their friends who will in turn tell their friends. Then, your blog post goes viral. On a blog post that goes viral, it is very important to tell people about your credentials in a small blurb that does not distract readers from reading the rest of your blog post.

How To Turn Twitter Followers Into Loyal Customers

January 10, 2014 by Marc Guberti 4 Comments

 

loyalty

In order to get your followers to buy your products, you need to talk with them on, but also off of Twitter. You will not be able to apply this method with all of your followers, but iff you can apply this method to 100 people, you already have an edge on the competition.

There are buyers. Then there are guaranteed buyers. The guaranteed buyers are the loyal ones who buy all of your products based on a certain niche. The guaranteed buyers are going to be the Twitter followers who you build strong friendships with.

Here’s how to do that:

  1. Decide who you want as loyal customers. These people should be the ones who have a strong interest in your niche. Anyone with a big following is a nice bonus.
  2. Get the person to notice you. Share the person’s blog posts while mentioning them with the @ sign. When you do that, the person you mention gets an email telling them that you mentioned them, and when they look through their feed of mentions, they will find you.
  3. Respond quickly. The person will thank you for mentioning them and their blog. Quickly respond by telling the person that their blog post motivated/helped you with something. Continue to quickly respond, and you will have a long conversation with this person.
  4. Talk with the person off Twitter. As you continue to talk with the person on Twitter, eventually ask to exchange emails. When you exchange emails, you will be able to contact the person with over 140 characters, but having the extra characters is not the important part. Since the person just gave you his/her email, that person trusts you now.
  5. Have a call to action in your email signature telling them to subscribe to your blog. This call to action will allow you to get another subscriber. Even when the person subscribes to your blog, continue to contact and talk with that person. By continuously talking with this person, that person will eventually become a guaranteed buyer.
  6. Repeat the process for other people. The more guaranteed buyers you have, the more money you are going to make. An author only needs about 1,000 guaranteed buyers in order to hit the Top 100 in Kindle Sales.

This will take a lot of time. In order to get the best results from this tactic, you should apply this method to 10 people every week. Imagine how different your business would be if you had 100 guaranteed buyers, or over 1,000 guaranteed buyers.
