So I can create Traffic, Now what?
Okey doke, well I looked at the goals I set here after coming back from holiday in Spain. In the post I promised to learn CSS and the Movable Type templates.
At this time, I've practically achieved everything I said. The only thing I haven't done was learn about photos and such, but I must say after my recent experience with graphics I'm going to probably postpone that step. Or more likely I'll pay to have that done for me.
In any case, the sites I'm going to create will be dead simple and will simply have a banner at the top of them.
So back to what I was talking about. I'm now needing to find a set of new goals and I'm not certain what they should be.
Do you ever feel like this, do you ever feel this quandary?
Well the reason is that I have too much choice.
You see, in the last year I've learned quite a bit about Search Engine optimization mainly through this incredible resource. I have practised what the author teaches and I have tested the methods and I have seen them work without a doubt.
But that was just Knowledge. But with a "secret" method someone showed me, I am now in a position to quickly put it into practise and grap keyword traffic online.
With this "secret" method I am now in the position to generate traffic for almost any keyword grouping I'm after. OK, not necessarily huge traffic but enough - about a 1000 visitors per month at least. I can now generate search engine traffic for just about any group of keywords I want, in a maximum of 3 months but usually much less.
No I'm not trying to sell you anything and am not going to mention it specifically unless you email me directly. Its too secret and too powerful to expose on the internet in public.
I feel like an idiot for talking about it and not fully explaining but without it you won't understand why I'm confused and looking of a goal. In short the problem is: I don't know what to sell! I don't know what to do with the traffic I'm going to get for small keywords.
If you were in the postion of being able to generate a modest amount of traffic immediately for any keyword you wanted to do what would you do with that knowledge? What particular products would you sell?
Would you write your own ebook? Would you join an affiliate program?
The answer isn't crystal clear but as I write this it becomes clearer.
The main thing is to take little steps, not big ones like I always dream about.
So since I have just acquired a new set of skills, the best thing to do is to actually use them. Instead of always wanting to go after new skills. Then I may extend those skills a little bit further to solidify them.
Just getting these sites off the ground will take:
- Learn a little bit more about how to build and design these sites
- Put this is into practise more
- Learn a little bit more about how to select keywords for the Engines and to sell specific products. That will better enable me to make profit from these sites
- Some people talk about how you should create a content site and then earn money from Adsense income. You know, I don't see how I'd want to do that. In most cases the people recommending that already have their own digital product that they make 100% profit from. No, I would like to learn a little bit more about how to sell products of a simple site through copywriting. And when I say "learn" I mean "practise". Even bad practise is worse than just reading.
- Write articles to promote your sites and to grow link popularity to your sites. This also means you should keep updating your blog -- your non profit site, so you can keep a good presence on the search engines and feed it to your other sites.
I think I can see these as the next logical step. Without learning more about building these sites and taking action steps to build these and perfect the PRACTICAL process I can't see how I'm going to get any further towards my ultimate goal of being able to sell my own digital products online.
Eventually that will be my final and ultimate step - to sell my own digital products. I have a little way to go before I get here.
