How I Got 8039 Visitors To My Blog Yesterday…

I tested out a new blog posting formula I've been working on and it worked out KILLER

Basically I put together a little formula called the 'Ultimate Blog Post' and then I fused that with what one of good friends Clay Collins ( who is one of the top bloggers and Social Networking Evil Geniuses around) calls 'Social Media Sex Appeal'…

Clay doesn't even know I did this post yet and I know he's never really shared that information with anyone… so when he sees this post he might ask me to take it down… we'll see… he's super cool so hopefully he won't… but you never know….

So basically I wrote the post following this formula and in one 24 hour period I got 8039 visitors to my blog…

…plus lots of opt-ins, a low bounce rate, high page views and a high "time on site"

What's really cool about this post is that it's the quickest post I ever wrote… it took about half an hour to actually write it and I think did it watching an episode of "The Office" ( I love that show)

8039 Visitors… and…

It's Totally FREE Traffic…

Here's the post…

41 Ways To Be Lifestyle Design Bad-Ass

(By the way, here's another post that meets the same criteria as the post above I'm talking about. Now this one took 3 hours to write plus two more to format and edit and didn't get as much traffic as the "lifestyle design bad-ass" post yet it still did pretty good and got me TONS of visitors and opt-ins. It follows my exact same blogging formula.)

And here's that post…

7 Things Pick Up Artists and Savvy Marketers Have in Common

A few pieces of the puzzle of my Ultimate Blog Post Formula are…

-A list ( 41 ways to… )

-Getting it out in the social media sites and networks

- Cool pics

- Formatted for easy readability

- Humor

-Social media sex appeal… 

Sex Appeal?

The social media "sex appeal" factor of the post was HUGE, and it actually has NOTHING to do with sexual at all.

What I mean is that it's something the social media world is fascinated with ( Lifestyle Design ), yet how to obtain that is still a mystery to most of em'

They're fascinated with this whole four hour work week idea while they work all day at there crummy job with NO FRIGGIN' IDEA how to make it happen… but the idea to them is fascinating…

Kinda of like when a nerdy dude looks at a super hot chick… he checks her out and fascinates about having her even though deep inside they have no friggin' idea how to obtain her… to those dudes it's a total friggin' mystery

It's the same exact thing…

Plus, the post is fun, edgy and easy on the eye… YOU WANT TO LOOK AT IT and you actually become emotionally involved in the possibilities.

THAT is what I mean by Social Media Sex Appeal

Even though the post had NOTHING to with sex or pictures of purdy gurls.

I'm Dead Serious About This…

Wanna succeed online? Then blog… cuz'…

…If you're an entrepreneur who wants to make a lot of money on the Internet yet isn't systematically dedicating some time each week to make your blog the best blog in the world… you're missing out.

This stuff is sooooooo easy if you just remember to make it fun, be different and give as much value to your visitor as possible

Always be thinking "How can I add value to the web and do it in a way that makes it fun for people?"

I've found that one of the best ways is to give away TONS of in-depth, fun and killer content.

That's what blogging is all about

It' about bonding with your market, and giving away better stuff for free than most people charge for… without turning it into one big ole' pitch fest.

A HUGE mistake I see almost everyone make when they start a blog is that they constantly pitch their stuff. I say keep the content to pitch ratio like 20 to 1

But get this…

… this blog actually pays me in many ways… even though the content is free…

…Here's how…

1. I get a tons of consulting clients from it

2. I make some affiliate sales ( not a ton, cuz I don't really push them… but it does plop some nice extra coin into my bank account every month)

3. Because of this blog, I've had many top experts in our industry approach me for all kinds of stuff. Some of my closest friends now are other hardcore Internet marketers and fitness gurus who found me through my blog.

4. It's building one helluva list

5. It establishes me as an authority in my niche

6. It builds some "law of reciprocity" momentum and creates an army of hundreds or even thousands of people who want to help Chris

7. It is sooooo fulfilling – I honestly think besides being Chris Hansen busting pedophiles on Dateline NBC that being a blogger is the coolest most fun and rewarding gig around

8. Plus, whatever you put out comes back to you, so if you put out a lot of good stuff without expecting something in return… life will totally hook you up. Call it Karma or call it whatever you want… it works

9. It helps me bond with my market

10. It helps me to better understand my market and get feedback from you on what's really important so I can create products and services based around what you really want ( rather than what I think you want )… this is key to selling a lot of stuff and making a lot of money, especially from a big picture scheme of things

11. Because of this blog I can contact almost anyone in our industry and many other industries and immediately get their attention through the authority and popularity that blog has given me

Ya know what, even if this blog didn't pay me I'd probably still do it cuz it's so damn fun

Until next time…
