Download Your FREE Blog Traffic Generation Checklist (Part 10 of 21)
Blogs!
I personally consider blogs to be the chief cornerstone of all your online marketing efforts.
Back in 2004 I created and released with my brother one of the first ever courses on blogging called How To Blog For Fun & Profits (no longer available). Yep, nearly five years ago and before blogs became the rave that they are today.
I was blogging it up on futures and commodities many years ago. However, blogs today are different and more powerful… and much easier to use.
Blogs today are used for…
- PreSell Pages
- Review Pages
- Salesletters
- Optin Pages
- Membership Sites
- Traffic Funnels
- …and uh, Blogs
Sometimes it freaks people out to hear blogs are used for salesletters, so check this out. This site here http://www.mrmibasictraining.com is an example of one of our sites that is using the WordPress blog platform for both the salesletter and the membership platform.
When you hover you mouse over the About Stephen, FAQS and Support tabs look at the url address bar in the bottom of your browser and you will see the blog page.
Also, scroll down to the bottom of the salesletter and you will see “Powered By Wordpress.”
And, when you click on the “Log In” tab you will be taken to the customize WordPress login.
Blogs are also used effectively in combination with paid advertising like PPC and Banners as well as with video and podcasting.
The three main platforms being used are…
Blogs have become the near perfect platform for both generating traffic AND monetizing that traffic.
Now, while some would argue about the right and wrong way to blog… I would say the worst thing you could do is to not be blogging at all… YIKES! I dare not think such thoughts. 
With that said you can click here to get your Blog Traffic Generation Checklist, where we will cover some of the shallow water basics to get you a nice start to effective blogging.
Even as we cover the basics, I would recommend you integrate your blog with Twitter immediately.
So, if you’re not yet automatically sending your blog post over to Twitter, check out http://pingvine.com which is a free tool that can help you do it in a snap. WordPress also has a nice Twitter plugin that will automatically send your blog post to Twitter.
Okay, that’s it for day 10 of 21 in our 21 day traffic generation series. I hope you enjoying this and more importantly… using this to your benefit.
Quick question for you… are you sharing the love? Are you letting others know in forums, Twitter, other blogs etc about this 21 day traffic generation series?
How about taking a few minutes today to give this gift I’m giving to you… to others. Not only will we appreciate it… the people you make aware of this will appreciate it and appreciate you for being their hero and making them aware of this. A great start is to click the “Tweet This” button below and instantly share this post with your friends on Twitter. Thank you!
…and uh… yep… you guess it… be sure to TalkBack to me while you’re here. I look forward to questions and sharing here.

Hi Stephen,
The PDF is giving me an error, there is nothing in the first page while page two and three are okay, I don’t know if it is me or if it is a PDF’s problem.
Okay, I agree 100% because I LOVE blogs and if you are in this business you need a blog, it is a MUST.
There are lot of things that you can do with your blog, overall if you use Wordpress. The amount of plugins is huge and the flexibility of the platform is incredible. You can even have a membership site using Wordpress.
On the other hand, you can drive tons of traffic to your blog using some strategies.
– Bookmarking your posts
– Pinging your posts
– Having a Podcast show and submitting it to the different podcast directories
– Leaving useful comments on other people’s blog
– Writing for other blogs in your niche
– Using trackbacks
– Interviewing experts and publishing the interview in your blog
– Having a weekly appointment with your readers, just like “Make more money mondays”
– And much more…
My blog has helped me a lot.
Thanks,

Good Morning Coach Pierce, you are as passionate in writing about Blogging as you are in person which I was so fortunate to attend with you. Yep, you have definitely shown me and others the power of blogging. However, one has to do the right things that complement our blogging and we successfully accomplish that by listening, following along and more important implementing what you are coaching us. You are making every day an exciting event and one can hardly wait to the next practice. Thanks Coach for another great lesson.

Thanks for the checklist. I use the Twitter Tools plug-in for WordPress, and I like it.
For one thing, it not only tweets my posts, it can also pick up tweets and post them.
It also provides a widget that displays my tweets and allows me to tweet from the widget.
And best of all, there are settings to control all those things so that I can do exactly what I want to with it.

We’re hangin’ on in there with you Stephen. This is good stuff. I hope to see you here in Atlanta, GA come April. I wouldn’t miss it for all the tea in China.

Blogging in 2009 is a must for any online business. Thanks for the re-enforcement.

I’d go as far as saying you can do anything you need to online using a blog – particularly Wordpress.
Your Basic Training site is a perfect example of that.
For beginners, the ability to get started online at very low cost is massively overlooked. That coupled with the ease of getting good search engine rankings (provided you know what you are doing with keywords) and the fact no technical knowledge is required enables ANYONE to build a sound business

If you are having trouble with the pdf opening, right click on the link and save the link. It is an actual pdf file. Once it is saved open it with a pdf reader. I use foxit. I’m using firefox as my browser and when I clicked to open it it used the Adobe reader which had problems. You can get the free foxit reader here

Hi Stephen,
I felt I had to write you to let you know that while I only first heard of you only a month ago, I have been “following” you ever since. There are not enough words to express what a true blessing it has been to read and hear the knowledge you give in your book, your 60 minute audio, your newsletters, and here on DT Alpha. (I am not into twitter yet…but I will be soon). Your mission in life to help others succeed has been life changing for so many I am sure, as you have already changed my life in such a short time.
I, for one, have never got into blogging. I don’t consider myself a writer, and I just never had the interest to get into it, but after reading this, and also watching you creating a blog in a training video earlier tonight, it really made me see just how powerful blogs can be to promote your business. I think I am going to start loving to blog before too long, especially after I see what results it can bring. Oh, and I love the idea of posting on other people’s blogs…wow…a really powerful tool.
I can’t wait for the rest of the checklists you have in store for us in the next 10 days. I am also looking forward to growing financially, emotionally, and mentally wealthy with you as my mentor and guide in GCC.
Thank you with all my heart. YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!
May God truly bless you and your family

Loving, caring and sharing ideas is vital globaly right now and you are setting a very good example for all of us.
