My 28 Day Rinse and Repeat Plan To Gain Huge Amounts of Laser Targeted Traffic
By Travis Petelle – Nashville USA
I thought today I would share my 30 day strategy that I have used on every single one of my authority niche sites. I’ve also been teaching my friends this strategy and now 3 of them are full time Internet marketers. So, I know this works. There is no secret to any of this. It’s simple stuff.
The main thing you must realize before you read anymore is that it’s all about consistency. Search engine rankings, traffic generation, etc are all about consistency. In the beginning, if you want to see results sooner then later then you MUST do your required work everyday. If you follow the exact steps I am about to show you, then you will make money.
This is about traffic generation. If you want to make money from the traffic, then you better have some sort of sales funnel set up. Either create a product or be an affiliate. It doesn’t matter because you will make money either way. I like to start with an affiliate product in a niche until I have some good traffic coming, then I create a product. It’s a matter of how long it takes you to create the product, you can then just double/triple your income.
On to the guide.
Day 1
Write 7 Articles (have them automatically posted 1 a day using wordpress)
Create accounts for social media sites Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Foursquare (whatever else you like…I only use these)
Create 30 days of social media messages (5 messages per day)
Sign up to hootsuite.com and upload all 30 days of messages to be sent to those social media sites automatically.
Add 50-100 followers, friends, etc on all social media sites (from now on when I say SM duties, you know this is what I’m referring to)
Day 2
Record 7 Podcasts (just read what you wrote for the 7 articles the day before as material…this takes maybe 30 minutes)
SM (Social Media) duties
Find 5-10 popular forums in your niche…make accounts…pretty up accounts with info, pictures, links, etc.
Find 5-10 other bloggers in your niche and contact them about link swaps/guest post swaps
Day 3
Create 7 Videos (use the exact podcast recording with a screen capture of a slideshow for each video)
SM Duties
Day 4
Turn 7 articles into PDFs
SM Duties
Backlink Duties (From now on when I say BL duties you know it’s referring to the list below)
Post 1 article to directories (I use ArticleBot, manual submit to EZA and GoArticles, spin twice and post to Buzzle and iSnare)
5-10 relevant blog comments on related blogs
1-10 forum posts per forum you found
Submit 1 video with TubeMogul
Submit 1 podcasts to radio websites (I usually make an iTunes channel for each niche…there is a WSO on it somewhere I think)
submit 1 PDF to scribd
Optional : 5-10 backlinks from high PR sites (I used to use angela’s backlinks…but rarely do this anymore…it’s been unnecessary for results)
Social Bookmark everything with OnlyWire

Write 3 press releases (1 about your website, 1 about something you are giving away, 1 about your product you’re selling)

RINSE AND REPEAT
What this does is generate huge amounts of content quickly. It spreads it all across the web so there are so many ways to see your site it’s sickening.
After about 3 months, your content is going to be old enough for google to give it some love. You will start to see so many random visitors from keywords in your articles that you didn’t target it’s ridiculous.
The longest day is about 6 hours of work when you do it all yourself. Your going to average 3-4 hours. Outsource and you could average 20 minutes of work.
Now, the trick to getting big money from this is to perfect your sales funnel, article structure, keyword choice, squeeze page…pretty much your process. Even with a crappy system, you could see good money coming in.
I suggest as soon as you have enough money coming in to outsource. All of the above steps can be outsourced…every single one of them. I suggest making a screen capture video of the exact process you take of submitting and creating everything…then you have something to send your outsourcers and you know they will get it right the first time.
I like to add doing a once a week webinar/teleseminar in there too. It builds authority a lot quicker and the viral effect of giving webinars rocks. Only takes an 30 minutes – hour and you can just rehash topics you’ve written articles on.
As you can see this is all about consistency. My latest niche site has been up for 28 days and I had 320 visitors yesterday…that’s without any search engine traffic too. SERPS usually take 3-6 months to kick in then you just have traffic out the Ying Yang.
Things to help you get better results with this system:
Learn how to effectively write articles
Learn how to effectively do keyword research
Learn how to effectively target keywords in articles, videos, podcast descriptions
Learn how to use a website to direct your viewer to your sales funnel (good squeeze page, good video presentation, etc)
Learn how to email market well (All my content sends my viewers to my squeeze page which gets them on my email list…this is the only way I sell things..it might take a week or two longer to get a sale from the visitor but it increases my conversion rate from around 3% to 6%…doubled income)
Learn how to network (guest posts, link swaps, and social marketing platforms can bring you thousands of visitors a day alone when done correctly)
Learn how to position yourself as an authority (the articles, videos, podcasts, webinars, press releases, forum posts all help this a lot…don’t act like a new guy in your industry though)
Don’t be afraid to take a day off (even though this is a 28 day plan, you don’t have to do it in 28 days. You can spread this over 3 months if you want. The results won’t come as quickly, but they will come.)
Okay, that’s enough for me. I haven’t posted about Internet marketing in a while. I think I was getting the shakes. I’ve been working with too many small businesses that aren’t even ready to learn this stuff…guess that’s why they pay me the big bucks to hire someone else to do it .
You can do this.

How I Made $6,597 From A Single Press Release
Oct 10th
How I made $6,597 from a single press release
By Chris Ramsey.
Good news for those of us who have the luxury of weekends off! Let’s celebrate it today by talking about press releases.
I’ll admit, in the past I’ve been pretty slack about putting them out. But boy did I learn my lesson!
Last week I published a press release. A free one, mind you. Within hours I was at the top of the search results for multiple
high-traffic search terms.
Thanks to this, I now have a brand new client that’s paying me $6,597 to launch a new product. I’m stoked about this product too.
It’s got a number of HUGE names behind it, which means that it’ll be a massive launch.
Not to shabby for two hours of work!
So, how can you write a press release that’s going to get ranked well AND bring in good business?
1. Find a good website to release your PR at. I’ve had excellent luck using PRLog.org. I use their free service, which practically guarantees me good rankings, which stands to say plenty of readers.
2. Write as if you are a reporter. The idea of a press release is to get in the news, not just on a PR site on the web. Keep that in
mind when writing.
You can use fancy-schmancy wording, but overall you just want to state facts, give quotes, and sound official. Read your newspaper’s website to see what I mean.
3. Create a quality headline. Just like on your website, the headline will be the first thing read. Make sure it tells the reader exactly what the article is about and why they should take the time to read it.
4. Write a full summary. In 2-4 sentences sum up your whole article. This is what the reporters who are looking for news want to read. Make this catchy, informative, and readable.
5. Who? What? Why? When? Where? and How? All those questions need to be answered in your press release.
Again, read through your newspaper to see how reporters write and you’ll be putting together money-makers in no time!
Give it a shot and put three or four PR’s out and see what it does. You’re going to get loads of traffic, plenty of new deals, and
quite a busy office.
I dare ya. Do it.
Q) Without being too nosy, can I ask, was the press release primarily about your Copywriting Services or more about a specific news event or new product?
A) It was a press release about teaming up with a design crew to offer more than just copywriting services. Now I’m able to offer both copy and great design. This particular client was looking for just that, and since he saw my PR, he hired me.
Fortunately the structure is taken care of by most PR websites. You don’t really need to worry about the common things that most PR guides give you.
However, if I were to give a structure for the body content, it would go as follows.
1) Main point of PR
2) Quotes
3) More info on main point
4) In conclusion
It’s really not a hard skill to learn. I picked up the general idea in an afternoon a few years back. I’ve since started using my Hypnotic Copywriting techniques in them and have seen a huge increase in response.
Thank you Chris… sounds like sound advice
