hi, im new to Blogging. It seems that what I learned from my paid workshop regarding blogging is quite opposite with your blue print. we are taught that we dont need to know how to write just to earn blogging. All we need to know is to copy news and free articles regarding the topic we blog and that's it. But yours is different. Please help me, if you can email and give me specific things to blog. I have a lot of blogs that are only earning cents in months. Please help me...

I use a very similar approach with my own stuff, and it always works. Having multiple mini sites out there pointing back to your main site is key. I also use various took to use the videos sites to create automatic video blogs....it's still powered by rss as well.

Outposts!!! this is a term I have not come across in relation to blogging until now. But, this sure us the fact, RSS feeds doubling up as outposts for traffic. RSS should be considered by all and should be dealt with in a totally different platform.
I am off to syndicating my RSS feed, thanks.

I have used pay services similar to TubeMogul for some of my sites, and it is a great way to dominate the search engines for specific keywords; better yet VERY specific keywords. You mentioned in passing that putting the url in the description is important- I would say it is CRITICAL- and it must have the "http://" or it's a waste of effort. Good high authority links back is a good thing...

Whenever I see diagrams like this, I feel completely overwhelmed! But I think Tube mogul is a good place to start. Thanks!

On increasing Traffic. Just currious, but nobody seems to mention Traffic exchanges. Granted they cost time, but many of the users are prime candidates for marketing opportunities as well as product. I have made some very good conversions by using specific splash pages. I have sold Marketing and electronics products with a fairly decent conversion rate. Granted you have to surf to earn trafic, unless you want to pay for it, but on most of the manual exchanges you can surf for an hour a day on four or five sites and realize a very decent return for your time.

WOW ... you are my new blog guy David. Seriously. I like the way you think and express yourself clearly and to the point. I can tell I am going to read every thing you've written ....

This is a great post. Your mind map of how you have set up your blog and the outposts is most helpful. I have been doing this; however, your post clarifies for me how to apply the system.

Simple, not easy :) Being everywhere necessitates some level of automation. But learning how to do it tastefully yet effectively is what I'm struggling with right now. I'd have to disagree that it's easy. But true, the concepts are very simple. Implementation is key, and I think a lot of people are STILL under the impression they can build a significant internet presence with only a little work. From what I've seen so far, I'm not seein it. Would you disagree?

Great. It's better understanding if the concept is shown through diagrams/images.

Love these traffic generation tips. I have managed to generate loads of traffic through Facebook. I have my blog post exported to facebook notes. I also send some nice weekly quotes to my friends list too and add a signature containing my blog.

But I still haven’t got the hang of StumbleUpon though.

Any idea, David?

That's a lot of work to do for someone who works full time.... but I am going to be slowly implementing some of those sites in order to get more traffic to my site.

I like how you focus on what you control and going for a multi-pronged set of entry points for the network effect.

Good tips.I have posted my RSS feed manually to lots of services, I found a list on Top Rank Blog.It is time consuming though, but the traffic sure is increasing by doing this.

HI David,

thanks for the explanation of the importance of having an RSS feed, just wondering besides setting one up at a service like Feedburner, is there anything else that has to be done, to have these outposts working?

thanks!

This is one of those posts I gotta save, because I know I'm gonna want to read it a few more times. I have to admit, having just started my blog a month or so ago, seo has brought maybe half the traffic, but social profiles have brought in the other half, so I'd be looking at completely dismal traffic if not for the social networking. Plus, it seems to me social networking brings in "warm" readers...most of them already know who I am and what to expect when they hit my blog.

I DIDN'T know you could automate tweets and facebook notes. Where have I been? LOL! Thanks for pointing it out.

I think I have to draw my own mind map too, I am too focusing on search engine for my blog. It's time now to expand to another method.

Thanks for giving out some ideas David

chuck in forums - those that allow html signatures. A very powerful way of getting your voice out there as an expert opinion. Pitch to the targeted audience; establish your creds. All abt finding the right forum.

RSS is definitely a very powerful aspect of a blog. It represents the meat and potatoes of your site, a streamlined concentration of what your blog is ultimately about: the content. So yeah, the farther out you can get that content, the better.

Good advice, as per usual, David.
