Give Good Quality on a Regular Basis: The attention that your listeners will give to your podcast will be more focused than that of the readers of your blog post. This is an opportunity that you want to make the most of, so it is important to ensure you don’t offer any low quality content in your podcast.

Obviously, even if you offer a weekly podcast, but don’t pay attention to the quality, your listeners won’t find it valuable. Your listeners will be much happier if you fill your podcast with real value, even if you only do one a month. If your plan it to publish a podcast on a regular schedule, make sure it is worth it.

Refrain From Bragging: A podcast is not the place for you to boast about who you are or brag about what makes you so great. A small introduction might be needed in certain circumstances, but your readers won’t be very happy if you take yourself to seriously.

People want something of value when they listen to your podcast, so be sure to keep that in mind at all times. This shouldn’t be about “you”, but more about “them”. Don’t keep repeating your expertise in your niche or keep telling your listeners over and over how you can save the economy. They will be able to see if you are any good. That’s all it takes.

Enhance With Music: Adding music to your podcast can make the experience much more pleasant for your listeners. This certainly doesn’t mean that you should simply go ahead and use your favorite mp3 track in your podcast.

However, by adding some light, soothing background music to your podcast can do wonders and make you look a lot more professional. In a way, when you use good music for your background, intro, etc, you polish up your podcast and make it sound better and give your readers an experience that they will remember, not just because of the quality of the content of the podcast, but also because of the way you presented it.

If you apply these tips to your podcast, you will notice an instant difference in the response from your listeners, something you can build up on as time goes by.

Follow Trends and Patterns: There are reasons that people like reading niche blogs.

It is mostly because they want to see the latest thing that was said about a particular topic. If you want to continue creating good quality content on a constant basis, then you must learn how to acknowledge trends and track them. This will let you write about topics that are up to date and give your readers something valuable.

Ultimately, your readers will see that it is much simpler to follow your blog for the latest trends, which means that you will get a long time follower. Real blog traffic has to do with obtaining blog traffic that always returns to your blog for more.

When you focus on the most recent trends and know what is happening in your niche, you greatly increase your opportunity of gaining more traffic. Not All Niches are Sustainable: Some topics may be interesting, but if you build a blog around them, you may find that it’s not really sustainable after a while.

If you’re going to go with the niche that you just feel would do good, then there’s no guarantee that you’ll find a large audience for it. Before you choose your niche, then, be sure that it has some potential in terms of prospects, customers and even the amount of content you can produce on it.

A good niche should provide you with many sources of content, whether you create it yourself, outsource it or get it from other sites. So how you decide whether your niche is sustainable or not depends on various factors such as the demand for the niche, its popularity, etc.

Be Dependable: Creating a niche blog is only your first move. But, being dependable with your update is what makes you better than the rest. Being consistent allows you to give your readers targeted content on a regular basis, without really compromising on the quality.

Your readers will come to your blog if they ever require pertinent information in your niche. This is because they can count on your blog being updated. If you do not update your blog regularly, your readers will not have anything to look forward to. Thus, you will witness a reduction in your views and subscriptions.

If you want to succeed with your niche blog, you have to be consistent and determined in your efforts, as you can’t create an empire overnight. So go step by step, and start applying what you’ve learned here so that you’re able to see gradual progress on your niche blog.

Don’t Complicate Things: One of the main goals that you should have in your mind is to keep things simple for your prospects, in every possible way. You should make it easy for him/her to read, understand and consume the information in your copy. Do not make things hard for your prospects by making the copy difficult to make yourself look good.

Because that method is never effective. You should give your prospects good indication of what you are providing how what they must do to get it. This basically means that you should use simple sentences, simple paragraphs, simple words and everything that can give your prospect a better experience.

Longer Copy is Better than Shorter Copy: When you write sales copy, there is no limitation to how much you say about a product’s features or benefits. The more info that you supply to your potential clients, the more opportunities you will receive for converting them into real clients.

However, the one thing that you should keep in mind is that long copy has the tendency to lose the attention of most people. So, as long as you are not repeating the same unexciting things, you should be okay. But the minute that you think you have said everything that needs to be said, you should not provide any additional filler information.

Only produce enough to let your potential client know what is being supplied and how to take action. So, the length of the copy relies on how much is needed to properly send the prospect the correct message to take action.

Emphasize Your Guarantee: One of the factors that will make people pay attention to your sales copy is the attached guarantee. This is where you decrease the risk for your prospect. Make them feel comfortable about order your product or service.

Get your prospects to see that there is no risk associated with getting your product. Even if you do not have an elaborate guarantee, you will notice your sales increase when you use this approach. Your sales copy should emphasize that you have a great risk free product that is right for them. Do not forget that when you write your copy, do it with confidence.

This is so that your prospects know that you know what you are talking about. So, even if you are not a seasoned pro, it should not be obvious in your sales copy.

The rest of this article is all about making money using YouTube; we could call it being successful, but it really is all about making money.

There’s one feature on YouTube that many videos don’t use – and that is to link one video to another and channel in your viewers so that you’re able to increase the overall views of your YouTube channel and get people engrossed in more of your videos.

If somebody is interested in watching one of your videos and is actually liking it, chances are that they may want to see more videos created by you, ones that are relevant to the current video. This is a great way to get people to take notice of your other video uploads, which may make them want to subscribe to your channel to stay updated.

Successfully linking your videos doesn’t involve doing much, but in the long run, it will help you immensely in getting collective traffic from all of your videos, where you leverage your viewers in the best possible way. If your YouTube videos are focused on current events then you will have to be timely with your release.

If you do not do this, then you know someone else is, and your chance will be lost. We all like to hear about interesting and maybe even compelling news, and your target audience is no different. This will allow you to win their trust, which will obviously increase your subscriber numbers and also get you more views in the long run. This is not just about more subscribers because you want to get people to your money sites, too.

Even after doing everything you can to get noticed on YouTube internally, you should also work on the promotion of your videos through other channels. The first thing you should always focus on is getting your video to rank as high as possible at Google. Do all you can to get traffic to your videos from Facebook, and we need not say why you want to do that.

The list of possibilities is very long at YouTube, and all you need to do is keep learning and get started doing something.

After Your Post is Published: You can’t just sit back and relax after getting a guest post published. You need to be active enough to make the most out of your guest post and actually make your readers happy. You need to take out the time to draw your readers into your post and try to get as much favorable response from them as possible. If someone does respond to your post, keep the conversation going as long as possible by replying in kind.

Think of your original post as a seed that you nurture and hopefully it will grow into something larger if you give it enough attention. Hopefully, readers will do some of the work for you in keeping the topic going, but you have to do your part as well. Also, take out the time to submit your blog post to social bookmarking sites such as Digg, Delicious, StumbleUpon, etc so that you can get more quality readers to your post.

Once your blog post is live, then the next step involves interacting with the readers when they comment. If you choose to write something with a controversial stance, then that very well may produce some fireworks from people – that is good, actually. Never get ugly with readers on another person’s blog because it is just bad form. But do not shoot yourself in the foot if you flame people back; you are hoping they will be constant readers for you. However, ideally this needs to be a total win-win-win situation for you, the other blog owner and the readers.

If you are new and a totally unknown quantity, then do not expect ultra-popular sites and blogs to want to publish your content. It is always recommended to be unique and unlike everybody else out there with your writing, and you never know what could happen. Create a very compelling headline and make the post as killer as you can muster. Do all you can to really impress everybody, and that includes staying away from article directories when you research your post.

Now you have something you can do that can really turn out to be very effective, so you should do it.

-    High-Profile Article Marketing
-    Forum Marketing
-    Ebook Syndication
-    Video Marketing
-    Viral Pushes
-    Ad Swaps
-    Paid Advertising

Wether you want to build a list of promiote your site i’ll out line the strategies do follow to enable you to do this. SO lets go and out line what you need to do.

** High-Profile Article Marketing

Within the internet Marketing arena we all know that article marketing is one of the best ways to drive highly-targeted traffic to your website. However, if you re-focus your efforts towards high-profile article marketing can generate 10x as much traffic as standard article marketing.

Don’t waste your time submitting your articles to bulk standard article directories when you can submit to the more specific targetted top websites and blogs in your target market.

If you have a blog about sports then we need to be submitting our articles to sites such as http://bleacherreport.com/ which is one of the most popular sports websites online today. What if your website is all about weddings and wedding related servcies then you should be submitting articles to sites such as http://www.favorideas.com/submit-wedding-articles/

How about if your niche web site is all about parenting, you could submit articles to http://www.momsnetwork.com/submit-articles.shtml

How about if your niche web site is all about about finance, you could submit articles to  http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/submitarticle.html

Do you see a pattern emerging here? We need to be submitting your articles to a targetted audience of readers to gain massive amounts of traffic for your articles. So use the very popular websites for submitting articles to gain this massive traffic.

Here’s a list of very popular websites that I personally submit articles to. The list below is a gold mine for building a list of thousands of subscribers. If you published just ONE really good article every day to the following websites, and had a good call to action in your resource box that sent people to your squeeze page, then you would have a highly responsive list of AT LEAST 1,000 subscribers by the end of the month.

** Forum Marketing

Forum marketing is another excellent strategy for building a list of subscribers and sending tons of traffic to your website.

Forum marketing is a highly underrated, but extremely effective strategy for building a list of subscribers, driving highly-targeted traffic, and establishing yourself as an authority in your particular market.

Forums put you directly in front of your target market, making it a goldmine for driving thousands of highly targeted visitors to your website.

But keep in mind here that the key to successful forum marketing is to become an active participant in the community. Your first priority is to deliver lots of value. And that means posting highly valuable content in the forums and helping people with their questions.

Once you’ve become a trusted member and delivered some great value in your posts, people will naturally want to learn more about what you have to offer.

This is where your signature link comes in…

You’ll want to use your signature link to send people to your squeeze page where you can build your list of subscribers.

Here’s an example of a good signature line:

“Find out how to get front-page Google Rankings in 24 hours with my FREE Google Mystic 2.0 Video series… http://www.yoursqueezepagehere.com ”

The key here is to entice them with some sort of benefit to get them tocome to your website. Keep your signature file short and to the point.You should only be promoting one page in your signature file. Don’t confuse people with multiple options.

Also keep in mind that it’s the value of your post that drives people to look at your signature. If you provide people with extraordinary value, then they will naturally want to check out more of your content.

So focus on providing value. One extremely valuable post is worth 10x more than 20 average posts.

See you in part 2 of the killer strategy guide.

If you liked this post then you would also enjoy our FREE article domination strategy –>  Dominating Article Strategies

The articles are around 300 words in length and contains the key phrases in bold at the start of the article and repeated 2/3 times during the full article text.

The signature (anchor text) of the first article is the first keyword phrase linked back to our sites blog.

The signature (anchor text) of the second article is the second keyword phrase linked back to our sites blog.

The first submission has been submitted to ezine. I will use the same strategy and post the same articles that have been re-written to goArticles tommorow.

What we are trying to establish here is to get some good high PR rankings from at least 2 high trusted and established article directories for the same keyword set phrases. Our keyword set we are initially testing here contains 2 keyword phrases, so we are writing 2 articles per site and submitting both of these to our targeted article directories.

We have linked the first keyword set of articles to our main blog page. The second set to be submitted to our second article directory WILL deep link to our targeted blog article post and NOT the top level site.

More to come soon.

Links from poor sources are also being used to re-rank your site (lower the rank) and in many cases these links are being severely devalued and removed. This means that in a lot of cases your search position in the search listings will drop dramatically. Lots of people have also found themselves removed from the top 1000 index altogether.

Just think about this for a moment.. you have spent the last 6 – 12 month gaining lots of links from article directories like:

• Ezinearticles.com
• goarticles.com

And with these sites being around PR6, you have gained some solid link backs to your own site and as a consiquence you have had your site rank increased and your search engine position increased and gained a lot of new traffic to your site.

You have also gained some good links from some web 2.0 sites like squidoo from pages you have created and socially bookmarked.

So your linking is building up nicely and your articles are in place via your multiple directory submissions but then you check your site and notice that for the last few days your traffic has dropped off!!!

You go and check your site and find your article submission links have vanished and so has your rank and your search engine top 10 position.

Well this is what is happening to thousands upon thousands of sites and it can also happen to you.

We have tested this system over a 3 month period over a number of different site types. We have tested the strategy with:

• Build a Niche Stores
• PHPBay Stores
• E-commerce stores
• Squeeze pages
• Static pages
• Blogs

In each case we have gained top 10 rankings for our keyword phrases within 4-6 weeks. In 90% of the time we have gained a top 3 ranking within 4 weeks and all of the sites links have been permanent. This includes the article links to our Build a Niche Store / PHPbay and Ecommerce stores, which have been specifically targetted by google and yahoo and had their links removed.

The Traffic Mystic Strategy enabled these links to become permanent and the links will Not be removed due how they have been impemented.

I will cover the strategies that I have used in comming posts so please add our RSS feed and bookmark us for updates.
