What is your focus…Online Traffic or Writing Content?
If you are anything like me, when I launched this blog. I was monitoring every single stat that was available.
I kept asking myself, “Where is the traffic?”
So I started studying all kinds of traffic generation methods by reading books, purchasing products, and attending live webinars.
Is it all worth it…You BET it is!
I learned a lot on how to generate traffic. But the most important factor was not about generating traffic. It was about Writing Content.
I know writing content does not come easy for everyone. It didn’t for me in the beginning. There are individuals that can whip out high quality content quickly.
It doesn’t matter if it takes you hours or minutes to create content. The important component is to create QUALITY sought out content.
I want to make sure you understand that you don’t have to become a master copywriter to write high quality content. If you understand just the basics of copywriting you have a head start than most individuals.

Hey Josh
Content is King!
It is like owning a store, you could hire clowns to stand at the corner and wave signs, or buy an expensive tv commercial, but when people show up and your product sucks no will buy and no one will share their experience with others, well except to say you suck
Nice touch on the mobile audio.

Hi Peter,
That is funny!!! I just got a quick flash…When I’m driving to downtown. I see a guy all dressed up in a gold suit and with a gold face. Holding up a sign…we buy gold!
I always see the pizza guys and girls for Little Caesar’s at the local corner, I love their crazy bread
Hi Peter,
Who isn’t crazy for crazy bread!
Josh,
Nice work with the audio. I hope to add that soon to my blog. Content is the only part that will keep people involved and keep coming back for more! thanks for the audio clip!

Hi Hector,
It is good to switch things up. On the other hand, good content always win!
Well said brother.
Driving more traffic is definitely a good thing and when you do it right, with some killer content that draws in your people like a funnel, you can’t go wrong.
Thanks for sharing the audio with us.
Catch you later,

Hi Jerome,
Welcome back! You can always catch up on the post.
Unless you are writing content only for yourself and your loved ones, the focus of all marketing efforts is usually to get traffic, and writing content is a tool to get traffic.
Hi Andreas,
That sounds funny…writing content for yourself and loved ones. Sounds like writing a journal or diary.
Hey Josh,
Love the audio touch. That was awesome.
Gotta love traffic, thanks for sharing an empowering message!

Wanted to do something different. As you can tell from my history that I like to switch things up around here.
Hey Josh,
I enjoyed the audio today!
Create the best content you can and the traffic will come is what I believe. Thanks for always sharing awesome content on your blog.

.-= Marcus Baker´s last blog ..eFusjon Network Marketing Business Opportunity Closes – So What =-.
Hi Marcus,
When you create great content. The word gets out and the traffic comes.
Hey Josh, the audio makes an interesting departure from the “traditional” video we are seeing more of these days.
The way I see it is that there are two types of content – factual content, which I interpret as tutorial, review or affiliate type promo posts & insightful content.
Writing factual content is pretty easy (as in not difficult) as you have the facts at hand to be able to formulate a “report” of sorts. Insightful content is a little more difficult as this is where you have to put your own thought onto “paper”. The one trick I learned & apply when writing this kind of content, is to just “speak from the heart”, as if you were talking to someone over the ‘phone.
Either way, as Peter says – Content IS King…as long as it is helpful or useful!
Stay inspired!

Hi Michael,
You rocked it with your comment!
Hi Josh,
thanks for sharing your post and your audio. I learned from one my mentors that traffic doesn’t need to be generated because it’s already there – it “only” needs to be diverted. And good content is the sign that determines the direction traffic follows. At the end of the day, it’s not about being a best-writer, but a best-seller.
Take care

Hi Oliver,
That is so true! The traffic is already there. All you have to do is put on a bright yellow vest on and stand in the middle of the intersection directing them to your place.
Great tips Josh.. Funny we both wrote about getting traffic this week,,lol
All I can add is after you have your awesome content, now take it and promote the *&$^&$^@#64 out of it haha

That is funny!
Hi Josh,
Content is the hardest part of blogging for me I must admit, Being dyslexic I find it difficult to get the words onto paper. However I find it to be one of the most enjoyable things I do in my business. We only get good at something by learning and doing it.
Great post as always.

This is a formula that can be copied and not get in trouble for it.
Hi Josh,
I enjoyed the audio on your post! I’d forgotten about audio…I’d used it on my team training blog a lot for archiving our team calls/trainings/presentations and such, but I haven’t used it on clever marketer yet.
I think mixing up your messages like you do are one of the big reasons the traffic comes back again and again to your blog. It’s always new and interesting!
Great job,

It is great to mix it up. Now, that is clever marketing!
Thanks for the smile!
I’ll follow your clever reminder and do an audio post next week!
Are you using the WP-Audio plugin or are you doing a podcast somewhere and linking it to your blog? I’ve used the WP-Audio plugin on my team blog, but wondered if there was something else I should look into.

Hi Heather,
I believe that is the clever plugin that I’m using.
Hey Josh,
That is so true and I did the same thing when I put my blog up! I would always be checking my stats and stuff. Then I kinda figured that out by accident when I made a blog post that was about blogger vs wordpress that all of a sudden everyone was interested in. Then I realized, AH it’s the content that brings the REAL traffic.
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Erin,
That is pretty cool that you can pin point when it made that shift for you.
Josh,
Content is king! No doubt about it. Of course good SEO and driving traffic to the blog is also necessary, but without quality content all of that is actually fairly pointless.
Thanks for another great post.
.-= Steve´s last blog ..Stupid Guest Post Authors Need Not Apply =-.
Hi Steve,
That is correct…You can drive tons of traffic, however, if the content sucks. You’ll have nothing but a high bounce rate and get penalize from the search engines.
Hey Josh,
Content was king at one point, now with so many people regeritating(sp?) the same content over and over again, the new rule I am hearing is origianl….now we all know there are to many different things we can teach…very true but we could all teach or present the information in different manners….like your audio. Many years ago I hear that that was very dominat and it has lost its sheen. As we all know though – different stands out and when you “whisper” everyone listens!
Hi Robert,
When you are original and different people will listen to what you have to say.
Hi Josh – content rules! Too many people worry that their contribution is ‘unworthy’ because they have not attained online guru or celebrity status – when in fact the truth is that everyone has a story and beneath the surface EVERYONE is profoundly interesting – if only they’d share ( actually I’ll qualify that by saying everyone except tabloid pseudo reality celebrities lol)
Another great post thnx for sharing
Cheers kiaran

Hi Kiaran,
Buddy, you nailed it with this comment! What you said, I couldn’t have put it in any better words.
Very cool audio component! It really helped me connect to you and your content. Well done.
Hi Karen,
Thank you! Connecting is very important in this business.
Josh,
You’re absolutely right man. Blogging is not an overnight success, and people won’t recognize you as a valuable resource on your first post or even 10 posts, but when we continue to provide valuable content, all of a sudden people will tell their friends “you have to go check out this video or article, it really helped me”
Good stuff man.

Hi Jordan,
That is how the word gets spread…By friends!
Josh,
Content is very powerful, but there is more to creating a bunch of traffic than just having great content. That is a place that I am stuck on lately. I have a solid readership, and the people that do read my content really like, but you also have to build your own brand outside of content. You have to let the world know that you are alive and why they should do business with you.

Hi Joshua,
That is why I like to mix up my content with Webinars, Videos, and Audio. To let people know that I’m more than just text on a computer screen. I am no different than anyone else. I like to connect with people so they can see that I’m human.
You are so right man it is all about writing that good content and sharing it with the world bro. awesome read man
Hi Kareem,
You are going to be the king of video. I’ve heard in the past the king of bling…You are going to take the title of King of Video!
Once again I am reminded that like most things worth while in life, it can be about the balance. Of course any online endeavor needs traffic, but the quality of the help or information will create return traffic and customer retention as well as the good possibility of word of mouth referrals or going viral , as they say. But the quality versus quantity question is not even necessary if there is no quantity at all. We must have a good solid foundation of traffic generation under our belt as Internet marketers, but great content is what will define us and create the kind of attention for a phenomenal following and success. Just some thoughts…..I have enjoyed your current theme of being accomplished copywriters. Thanks again.
.-= Terry Tiessen´s last blog ..Internet Marketing For Network Marketers Stop Struggling In MLM =-.
Hi Terry,
This is great insight that you are providing. By having solid content it will create a traffic flow of returning guest and having it syndicated to spread the word.
The point that was close to my heart, Josh, that content does not have to be that difficult to write.
Practice makes perfect; the same goes for content marketing.
