Okay, I have been a little busy lately but the show must go on and here’s the next in series of Guerilla Internet Marketing 101:

My secret to online blogging success (that success defined by 1 million pageviews/month) can be boiled down to 1 sentence:

If you write, people will come.

That’s right.  The secret to blogging itself is blogging or simply, writing.  Writing original content is probably the easiest way to bring more web search traffic to your site.

Why?

Because search engines will eventually crawl your site, index your content, and send you any relevant traffic based on your writing.

A lot of people ask me, “How do you bring in 1 million visitors to your sites per month?”

My simple and honest answer, “I blog.”

Now I don’t write all the blog posts myself simply because my online business is expanding and I cannot write everything myself.  But I do a lot of writing, a whole lot more than I ever did in college.

Of course, there’s plugins for Wordpress and other social bookmarking systems that can “enhance” your web traffic numbers but that’s always AFTER you write.

Let me get into more detail on how to get more web search traffic to your blog:

If your write well, people will come.

Of course, you can just write about something with horrible grammar and uninteresting sentences.  Another secret to blogging is that you must write well.  If your content is basically garbage and not interesting, no one will be searching for your content and therefore all your blogging/writing efforts go to the waste.

Even this blog post, I believe will be very helpful for those bloggers who are new to the blogsphere and you might have even found this blog post through a Google search, which I am not surprised at.

If you write a lot, people will come.

If you write and you write well, that’s not the end of the stick yet.  You also need to write a LOT, on a daily basis, and on an hourly-basis if you really want to succeed.

When I started blogging, I wrote a minimum of 24 blog posts per day, which were all scheduled to post 1 per hour.  Now, I did this for about 1 year and did bring Zedomax.com to about 5,000 unique visitors per day.

That’s about 24*365= 8,760 blog posts per year.

When you do that much blogging, you are bound to get a lot of traffic from search engines, other bloggers, social bookmarks, and more.

So that said, what are you doing?

If you have been blogging once per week, that’s going to take you 8760/54 = 162 years of blogging to catch someone like me, who will blog at the rate of one blog post/hour.  (On the side note, most A-list bloggers will be doing at least 1 blog post per hour.)

Of course, there are exceptions to this rule but in general, you need to write, write, and write WELL over a long term period in order to make steady income online.

Now, I didn’t say you couldn’t hire bloggers or even have guest bloggers on your blog, just make sure your blog is like an ocean of information where people can swim, sail a boat, or even surf.

Even as I write this blog post, I know people will come.

Will you be another blogger who expects to make money blogging with 1 blog post per day (and doesn’t) or will you become that next A-list blogger who is loooaded with information?

The secret to blogging has been simple and you just gotta do it:

Write and people will come, link to you, and you succeed.
