What did you accomplish in 2011?

Have you ever read the phrase…”If you keep doing what you’ve done in the past year you’ll still be in the same place the following year.” This is not necessarily a bad thing if what you’ve done has produced profitable results however there is always for improvement.
1. List your accomplishments
One of the easiest methods of making money online is to build a blog in a niche you feel passionate about. Without passion your new blog will die a slow death and join millions of other blog owners who started one but couldn’t keep it going. It requires frequent and consistent investment of time and energy to make it work.
Traffic is the lifeblood of your blog. If you fail to get visitors to read your blog you won’t sell products or get subscribers. There are 2 ways to generate traffic to your blog. One works very fast while the other is more long term.
PAID TRAFFIC
Pay per click
This is where you create ads which appear on the right side of the search engine results. When someone clicks on your ad they’ll be taken to your website. A profitable pay per click campaign is one in which your profit is greater than what you invested. For instance if your budget is $300/month and your profit is $1000/month your profit is $700/month.

Ezine advertising
This refers to placing an ad in an ezine that caters to your specific niche. For example if the ezine has 50,000 responsive subscribers you will generate immediate traffic from your ad.

There are 100s of ways to generate free traffic to your blog however I’ll discuss the 8 most effective methods I’ve used and still use to generate traffic to my blog or websites:
Want to generate a continuous stream of traffic to your website?
Want to convert a stream of visitors into a flood of visitors?
Most website owners are not happy with the current flow of traffic to their websites. They want to generate more sales and/or attract more subscribers. Every day there is someone pitching their latest secret traffic technique that promises the moon. Well, I am going to discuss the 3 techniques I’ve used to increase traffic to my websites over 12 years.
1. Creating relevant content
Jim is a website owner and wants to get traffic to his website. He buys an ebook on how to get traffic with article marketing. He writes several articles and mass submits them to article directories expecting to get a lot of visitors and generate a few sales. He receives a trickle of traffic but makes no sales.
He purchases another ebook on video marketing. He creates a series of videos and uploads them to video sharing websites. After doing this for a few weeks he still doesn’t generate any sales.
Every time he sees a new program on generating traffic he buys it hoping this it will be the secret method(s) for attracting visitors to his website.
Are you in the same (or have you ever been) in the same boat as Jim?
Have you purchased different traffic generating programs but still didn’t get much traffic or make sales?
Why master one traffic generation method before mastering another
Most website owners focus on getting traffic to their websites however very few focus on conversion rates. Even if you get a ton of visitors to your site if they don’t purchase your product or service you’ll soon be out of business. Attracting traffic is only the first stage of building a profitable website. The second stage is traffic conversion.
