Use Other People’s Traffic to Build a List

Outcome of Following My Method

I end up with the first comment spot on popular blogs with relevant thought out comments that get instant exposure and traffic. All from a blog that has a similar market, but different industry or non-competitor. Click on any of them to go to the post. All of the posts are worth reading or watching.

How to Do It

Step 1

Identify at least 6 blogs in your niche or general niche that have a 100,000 or better Alexa rank. You do this because we need visitors and traffic with this technique. Get Alexa Sparky for Firefox to check quickly.

Step 2

Setup an account with a service called notify.me. It is completely free and easy to sign up. Follow the steps and setup your cell phone and instant messaging service. This is how I know exactly when new posts are up.

Step 3

Now, add the blogs that you identified to your notify.me account. This will now tell you whenever one of these blogs have a new post on them so that you can be the first to know.

Step 4

At this point, it’s time to jump on that post and get that comment up. I typically scan through the article or skip through the video picking up the key points. Then I make a thought out response to it trying to add value for the visitors of the blog. These guys are giving you the opportunity to guest write on their blog. Make it worth reading.

Worth Noting

Remember that these visitors are making the decision of whether to go to your site based on that comment. If your comment looks spammy, then it doesn’t matter where it’s located because no one will care. Quality matters a lot with this strategy.

That’s it. Last thing that I would like to point out is that you don’t necessarily need to be the one to do this. If you can outsource this task, then do it. Works great if you have a team of assistants that know your market. You can even hire a college student to do this for you and they do a great job.

If you have any questions or thoughts about this strategy please let me know below. Hope you are happy with your decision to trust me.
