Today is Part 5 of the current series “A Killer Plan For Internet Income” and although it’s a lot of information crammed into blog entries I hope you are getting enough of an idea to take this information and turn it into a pot of gold.  I’m not promising riches but you can make a few dollars using the free marketing tools I’ve suggested and then take it from there.

Through the Part 7 finale, I will be focusing on traffic generation.  Today will focus on ways to jump start your Blogger site (which I hope you have up and running), Part 6 will cover article marketing and in Part 7 I will reveal some of my other favorite ways of generating traffic and I will also show you where to get a step-by-step guide to generating massive traffic which is a FREE $97 VALUE.

Before I go into today’s third phase of the plan I want to make sure you understand the following:

Content is a valuable commodity in this business!

So if you are wondering how is it that you are going to write all this stuff don’t worry because you can take one article and convert that into an autoresponder series, a blog post, a mini-report, a podcast, a video – the possibilities are endless.

Always remember, whenever you write an article or a blog post you will have the opportunity to re-purpose that content so don’t go nuts thinking ahead about what to write because you can take advantage of the one article you have already written.

Today, I want to cover 5 things you can do with your Blogger site to start getting traffic to it but the ultimate way will always be the content so the next part will get into that a lot more.

Reminder: If you missed any of the previous entries there is a link at the end of each post to the previous part of this series.

Phase 3

1. RSS Feed – an RSS (real simple syndication) is used to publish frequently updated content, such as blog entries and other announcements. You should encourage people to subscribe to your RSS feed.

When people have access to your feed this gives them instant access to your latest entries and it gives you a great avenue to bring in consistent and returning traffic. To maintain that flow of traffic continue to provide quality content.

2. Badges, Buttons & Widgets – using certain components can help your traffic generation but it’s up to you how many things you want to throw on it.  I would focus on a few weeks of content before adding too much stuff but when you do build content here is just a few things you can add afterwards:

AddThis – The AddThis button spreads your content across the Web by making it easier for your visitors to bookmark and share it with other people, again… and again… and again. This simple yet powerful button is very easy to install and provides valuable Analytics about the bookmarking and sharing activity of your users. AddThis helps your visitors create a buzz for your site and increase its popularity and ranking.

BlogCatalog – BlogCatalog is more than just a social community for bloggers; they are one of the largest blog directories on the internet. Whether you are looking to search blogs, connect with bloggers, learn more about blogging, or promote your own blog, BlogCatalog is for you.

Feedburner – FeedBurner is the leading provider of media distribution and audience engagement services for blogs and RSS feeds. Our Web-based tools help bloggers, podcasters and commercial publishers promote, deliver and profit from their content on the Web.

MyBlogLog – Discover who’s visiting your site, and connect with your readers.

SocialTwist – SocialTwist brings ‘Widget Applications’ that can add a twist to the way visitors use a website or a new way employees of a company collaborate at work.

There are a lot more out there, so do your research and see what will work for you.  More importantly Blogger offers many gadgets to make it easier for you to add things, so if you want to keep things simple go to Edit Layout and click on Add A Gadget and you will get a list of all the things Blogger offers.

3. Bookmarketing, Sharing & Social Networking – I mentioned adding all the fun stuff above but it is important to understand the power behind those gadgets.  Bookmarking is a way for Internet users to store, organize, search and manage websites they have bookmarked. Sharing these bookmarks with other people gives you exposure because others will share their bookmarks containing your content.

if you use Facebook, MySpace, Twitter or any of the hundreds of social networking sites offered today you must have realized how powerful these sites can be to your exposure. These platforms offer areas to add information about you, your business and interests which will all lead to your Blogger site and an increase in traffic.

4. Viral Marketing – these days it’s so easy to create your own audios, videos, podcasts, e-books and mini reports. What does this have to do with your blog? Well, how about using one of these marketing platforms to promote your blog?

The key to viral marketing is getting people to pass your content along to others and have them pass it along to others, etc. Just imagine that happening multiple times over. You can use platforms available to submit audios, videos, etc., so others can pass your content to others freely without spending any money, if at all.

Remember what I said about re-purposing your content earlier;-)

5. Blog Carnivals – a blog carnival is simply a post that contains entries from other blogs. Links from other sites that have similar content is a great way to bring in visitors, so submitting a content rich article with no sales pitches or affiliate links from your blog is a great way to get traffic.

You can either set one up yourself or submit your entry to a handful of carnivals weekly.  Again, wait until you have a few weeks worth of blog entries before you that. When you are ready visit Blog Carnival to submit your first entry.

Once again, I’ve given you a lot of information but hang in there and try piecing this stuff together the best you can and send me an email to ask@jimmyadames.com if you need me to help you with anything (Don’t waste your time spamming me).

If you haven’t seen the Blogger site I’ve set up as an example for this plan – CLICK HERE…We will start adding articles to the blog for Part 6 so tomorrow I will be blogging about something else and start next week with Part 6 allowing me to add an article or two so we can wrap up the series.
