Earlier this month I reported in my August monthly growth report that this 6 month old blog surpassed 10k monthly unique visitors. As some of you remarked, this was a bit of a feat. And it’;s true. Even if you look at Matthew Woodward’;s monthly reports, you’;ll see he doesn’;t surpass 10k uniques per month until month 8 (although Matt has also produced way more income, email subscribers, and runs his blog as a full on business –; I do not). So yes, traffic is certainly not the whole story –; in fact it can often be more of a vanity metric than anything. But it’;s also nice to have, and as I will show later on in this post, it does translate to money. This is because it generally correlates with more conversions and eventually more sales, assuming the traffic is quality. So how did I get it? I was going to do a bit of a general post about guest posting, building your email list, etc, but then I decided to just get down to the bare bones truth. How one single post accounts for about 50% of my traffic. Think it’;s impossible? So did I, once. In fact, I remember reading a post by Brian Dean on OKDork.com, where he wrote how he got 40k targeted visitors with just 20 posts. If you search for the word “;impossible”; on that post you’;ll be taken to the very comment I left a few months ago, where I told Brian I thought it was almost mathematically impossible to do such a thing. And here I am today, not quite at that level, but more or less proving the concept. Here is my traffic source for August: As you can see, 48% comes from one post 500 Ways To Make Money Online, which was published when the blog launched in March (so all this traffic is basically organic). In short, without this post this blog would not even be half of what it is today. Now, many of you might have seen that post, and the fact is, it’;s a very solid post. But you know –; I have a lot of other really solid posts too. In fact, check out any of my ultimate guides and you’;ll see that just a much time and effort, sometimes more, went into producing those as did the Make Money Online post. So how is it that those don’;t produce nearly as much traffic as that one does? Uniqueness and Comprehensiveness Here’;s the thing about the 500 Ways To Make Money Online post. It blows the competition away. Google any other ways to make money online post, and, personal preferences aside, it’;s far and away the best post out there. Perhaps there are books out there that are more comprehensive, but they aren’;t online for free. Additionally, perhaps their are individual posts out there that resonate more with you (maybe you don’;t want 500 ways), but for the average person who is Googling the topic, this post has it all. What about my other “;ultimate guides”;, you ask? Well, many of them are also great posts. Check out The Definitive Guide To Guest Posting For Traffic Getting Return Visitors: The Definitive Guide To User Testing Your Website I hope not too many people will argue that those are also very well written and comprehensive posts. But here’;s the thing, Google those exact same titles, and you see a bunch of very excellent, but altogether similar posts. The fact is, just about every serious blogger and their mother has an Ultimate Guide To Guest Posting, because guest posting is such an integral part of good content marketing. And, while mine may be a bit better or a bit worse than theirs, for most people, they’;re about equal. It’;s like shades of grey. That is, they both solve the problem and discuss the topic in enough depth so that everyone’;s happy. 500 Ways To Make Money online does it differently. Another great example of a post that rocks it is Brian Dean’;s Google’s 200 Ranking Factors: The Complete List From Brian’;s own words, here’;s how he decided to tackle that post: I was checking out the results for a few keywords related to Google’s mysterious ranking factors, like “Google ranking” and “Google’s ranking factors”. This page by Vaughn’s 1 Pagers was ranking #1 for almost every single keyword that I searched for: Vaughn’s guide was the most thorough summary of Google’s ranking signals online at that point. It listed an impressive 118 ranking factors. The thing is, Google has confirmed on several occasions that they use over 200 ranking factors. So where were the other 82? Well that’s when I decided to roll up my sleeves and get cracking on a post that would document all 200. It’;s really the same story, isn’;t it? He found that the top post, while good, was still off the mark. He could create a post that was basically twice as good as the reigning champ, and do it in a way that was so obvious no one could argue. As you can see, this works particularly well with list posts, because the winner is so clear (larger number). And as you can see, that post received thousands of shares, and no doubt represents a significant portion of Mr. Dean’;s traffic. Market Size When a company is considering how much to value their company at, they often look at the size of the market. The thought process is, if I can only capture x%, how big can I get? There is a big difference between 1% of 10 million, and 1% of 1 million, and while you might assume that 1% of the 10 million dollar market is harder than 1% of the million dollar market, it isn’;t necessarily 10 times as hard. In some respects, post valuation is similar. Look at the keyword volumes for the 4 posts we’;ve examined: As you can see, the market sizes (as judged by keyword volume) for the keywords Make Money Online and Google Ranking Factors are 2 –; 10x larger than the other two ultimate guides I did. Again, they may be more competitive and it’;s hard to say how much, but an upper limit is an upper limit and it should be taken into consideration. In fact, here are some of the many keywords that the post ranks and derives traffic from (this is over the last 30 days) As you can see, the size of the market, as well as the variety in which someone can phrase the same intent, allows for a diverse set of keywords to rank for. Outreach The first two parts should make sense. You find a post topic with a big enough market share, reasonable competition, and then you flat out crush them with a post that no one can argue is dominant. But then you have to tell everyone. Brian is a huge proponent of outreach, he’;s calls his method the Skyscraper Technique, and I can’;t agree more. In fact the main difference between my post on ways to make money online versus the other two, was not how much effort I put into making the post, but how much effort I put into telling people about the post. For starters, when I launched this blog, I told everyone about this “;epic”; post I had just written. The email went a bit like this: And then there was everyone who I had featured in the post: And then of course I submitted it to a bunch of places And I did a few other things as well, such as tweeting to related conversations, and emailing people who wrote related posts. In short, I got the post out there every which way I could, and that’;s what got it hundreds of shares even though the blog had little traffic at this time. But What Is The ROI? Cool, so you get a lot of traffic from one post. So what? What is all this traffic good for? Especially considering I do not even sell anything on this website. That is a fair point, as this site is probably under monetized since I don’;t sell any info products or offer any services. That’;s partly the reason why I was originally considering to make that post a paid ebook that I would sell for say $9.99 on Amazon. So very glad I didn’;t do that –; and here’;s why. Let me give you the absolute, bare minimum (very conservative) back of the envelope calculation for the Return On Investment of writing that one post. Firstly, what did it cost me, in terms of time and resources? Resources To Write That Post I actually outsourced quite a bit of it, and I’;m going to ballpark the cost at around $100. That’;s the cost of hiring an assistant to perform the research, format the post, find affiliate programs, outreach, etc. Basically, $3.33/hr, for 33 hours of work. As for my time, although I was able to outsource quite a lot of it, it did still take me quite a bit of my own time. Let’;s say 20 hours. So 20 hours and $100 –; what did it get me? Since this page represents about 50% of my traffic, it also represents about 50% of my email conversions (these are ballpark estimates, I’;m assuming that the page converts around about average, which is good enough). Unfortunately I’;ve been messing with my Google Analytics goal conversions recently so I can’;t be more exact than that. You may have read my recent post about Earning $108 In August Using After Offers, which is driven entirely through email sign ups. Which means that post essentially made me about $50 in August. And what will likely be about $100 in September, which will continue to be monthly recurring as long as these assumptions hold true: - I continue to use After Offers - It continues to drive comparable revenue - Most post continues to drive comparable traffic/conversions These are fair assumptions. So that $100 investment plus 20 hours of my time, with a conservative estimate, could conservatively net me around $1050 in the next year (~$50/hour). Plus all the added benefits of branding, more traffic and more subscribers! A Surprising Twist? Oh online marketing –; always with a twist at the end. After writing this post in September I let it sit in line to be published, and then a “;funny”; thing happen. My blog seems to have been hit by a Google Update and I lost a decent amount of my organic traffic! Naturally when I saw the drop, right around the Google Updates that had been rolled out, I started searching for the culprit. Of course, it had to be my 500 Ways T0 Make Money Online post –; as that is where most of my organic traffic comes from. So here’;s what it looks like now: As you can see, in the beginning of October, the post lost about half it’;s traffic –; wow! Why? I honestly have no clue. I haven’;t done any link building or sketchy stuff with this blog –; it’;s 100% clean (and I didn’;t receive any webspam messages). The only thing I have come up with is this was essentially a correction to a post that probably never should have got as much organic traffic as it was getting. That’;s just me being hypothetical. I don’;t have a ton of experience correcting penalties and of course with no indication from Google, it’;s just one of those things that happens, takes you by surprise, and leaves you with no course of action. The rest of the blog seems to be fine btw, mostly just that post got knocked down. Conclusion So now you’;re wondering, after this surprise ending, is this post still valid? My answer is yes, and here’;s why. Despite the knock down at the end, the post still delivers a very healthy amount of organic traffic to the blog –; just not quite as much as it used to, which really was quite insane to begin with. For that reason, I went ahead and published this post even with the sour ending. Now, I honestly don’;t write every post on this blog, thinking about how much traffic it is or isn’;t going to bring me. Sometimes I just write a case study, or to be helpful, or to build my brand. And sometimes I just write about whatever the heck I feel like, because it’;s my blog. But the truth is that if I was 100% concerned about traffic, this is the type of strategy and thinking I would be integrating. Because at the end of the day, while the 500 Ways To Make Money Online DID take a long time to write, if I only had three of them I’;d be doing 50% “;better”; on the blog than I’;m doing now. And without a doubt, I could write 3 500 Ways To Make Money Online type posts in less time than it took me to write the 40 or so posts I’;ve published to date. The traffic and ROI supports it as worthwhile. So think about that, ESPECIALLY as a launch strategy.

Earlier this month I reported in my August tuarascáil fáis míosúil that this 6 blog mí d'aois dul thar 10k cuairteoir uathúil míosúil. Mar a dúirt roinnt de tú, bhí sé seo beagán de feat. And it’;s true. Even if you look at Matthew Woodward’;s monthly reports, you’;ll see he doesn’;t surpass 10k uniques per month until month 8 (cé go bhfuil Matt tháirgeadh freisin ioncam ar bhealach níos, síntiúsóirí ríomhphost, and runs his blog as a full on business –; Ní féidir liom). Mar sin, tá, traffic is certainly not the whole story –; i ndáiríre is féidir é a bheith go minic níos mó de vanity méadrach ná aon rud. But it’;s also nice to have, agus mar beidh mé a thaispeáint níos déanaí sa phost seo, a dhéanann sé aistriú go airgead. Tá sé seo toisc go comhghaolú sé go ginearálta le níos mó conversions agus díolacháin sa deireadh níos mó, Is ag glacadh leis an trácht ar cháilíocht. Mar sin, conas a rinne mé é a fháil? I was going to do a bit of a general post about aoi phost, thógáil do liosta ríomhphoist, srl, ach ansin shocraigh mé a fháil ach síos go dtí na cnámha lom fhírinne. Conas aon cuntais aonair post ar feadh thart ar 50% mo tráchta. Think it’;s impossible? Mar sin, rinne mé, uair amháin. Go deimhin, Is cuimhin liom léamh post Brian Déan ar OKDork.com, nuair a scríobh sé conas a fuair sé 40k cuairteoir dírithe le díreach 20 posts. If you search for the word “;impossible”; on that post you’;ll be taken to the very comment I left a few months ago, nuair a dúirt mé Brian Shíl mé go raibh sé beagnach dodhéanta matamaiticiúil a dhéanamh a leithéid de rud. Agus anseo tá mé inniu, Ní leor ag an leibhéal sin, ach tá níos mó nó níos lú a chruthú ar an gcoincheap. Seo é mo foinse tráchta do mhí Lúnasa: Mar a fheiceann tú, 48% a thagann as post amháin 500 Ways To Make Money Online, a foilsíodh nuair bhlag seoladh i Márta (mar sin tá trácht seo go léir go bunúsach orgánach). I mbeagán focal, gan an post seo nach mbeadh an bhlag seo a bheith fiú leath an méid a bhfuil sé sa lá atá inniu. Anois, go leor de tú d'fhéadfadh a bheith le feiceáil go post, agus is é an bhfíric, it’;s a very solid post. But you know –; Tá mé a lán de na poist i ndáiríre soladach eile freisin. Go deimhin, check out any of my treoracha deiridh and you’;ll see that just a much time and effort, uaireanta níos mó, went into producing those as did the Make Money Online post. So how is it that those don’;t produce nearly as much traffic as that one does? Uathúlacht agus Cuimsitheacht Here’;s the thing about the 500 Ways To Make Money Online post. Séideann sé an comórtas ar shiúl. Google any other bealaí chun airgead a dhéanamh ar líne post, agus, roghanna pearsanta leataobh, it’;s far and away the best post out there. B'fhéidir go bhfuil leabhair amach ann atá níos cuimsithí, but they aren’;t online for free. Ina theannta sin, b'fhéidir a bhfuil na poist ar leith amach ann a resonate mó a bhfuil tú (maybe you don’;t want 500 bealaí), ach le haghaidh an duine meán é a Googling ar an ábhar, Tá an post seo go léir. What about my other “;treoracha deiridh”;, iarrann tú? Bhuel, go leor acu freisin phoist mór. Amharc An Treoir críochnaitheach Chun Aoi Postála Do Tráchta Dul Cuairteoirí Tuairisceán: An Treoir críochnaitheach a Úsáideoir Tástáil Do Gréasáin Tá súil agam go mbeidh ní iomarca daoine a mhaíomh go bhfuil na chomh maith phoist go han-mhaith i scríbhinn agus cuimsitheach. But here’;s the thing, Google sin teidil céanna, agus a fheiceann tú a bunch de an-den scoth, ach phoist ar fad den chineál céanna. Is é fírinne, just about every serious blogger and their mother has an Ultimate Guide To Aoi Postála, mar gheall ar aoi phost is such an integral part of good content marketing. Agus, cé gur féidir mianach a bheith beagán níos fearr nó le beagán níos measa ná inniúlacht siúd, haghaidh daoine is mó, they’;re about equal. It’;s like shades of grey. Is é sin, they both solve the problem and discuss the topic in enough depth so that everyone’;s happy. 500 Bealaí a dhéanamh ar líne airgead does it differently. Another great example of a post that rocks it is Brian Dean’;s Google 200 Fachtóirí Rangú: An Liosta Comhlánaigh From Brian’;s own words, here’;s how he decided to tackle that post: Bhí mé ag seiceáil amach na torthaí ar feadh cúpla focail a bhaineann le tosca Google rangú mistéireach, cosúil le "Google rangú" agus "fachtóirí rangú Google". Leathanach seo ag Vaughn ar 1 Glaoirí a bhí rangú #1 beagnach gach eochairfhocal amháin a chuardach mé do: Bhí treoir Vaughn ar an achoimre is críochnúil comharthaí rangú Google ar líne ag an bpointe sin. Liostaithe sé go hiontach 118 fachtóirí rangú. Is é an rud, Google Tá sé deimhnithe ar roinnt ócáidí go n-úsáideann siad níos mó ná 200 fachtóirí rangú. Mar sin, nuair a bhí an ceann eile 82? Bhuel sin nuair a bheartaigh mé a rolladh suas mo sleeves agus a fháil scáineadh ar an bpost í a bheadh a dhoiciméadú go léir 200. It’;s really the same story, isn’;t it? Chinn sé go raibh an post barr, cé go maith, bhí fós as an marc. D'fhéadfadh sé a chruthú post a bhí go bunúsach dhá uair chomh maith leis an champ ríthe, agus é a dhéanamh ar bhealach a bhí chomh soiléir d'fhéadfadh aon duine a mhaíomh. Mar a fheiceann tú, Oibríonn sé seo go háirithe go maith le poist liosta, toisc go bhfuil an buaiteoir chomh soiléir (líon níos mó). Agus is féidir leat a fheiceáil, phost a fuair na mílte scaireanna, agus is ionann aon amhras ach cuid shuntasach de Mr. Dean’;s traffic. Méid an mhargaidh Nuair a cuideachta smaoineamh cé mhéad a luach a n-chuideachta ag, siad ag breathnú go minic ar an méid an mhargaidh. Tá an próiseas machnaimh, más féidir liom a ghabháil ach x%, cé chomh mór is féidir liom a fháil? Tá difríocht mhór idir 1% de 10 milliún, agus 1% de 1 milliún, agus cé go dtiocfadh leat glacadh leis go 1% an 10 Tá milliún margadh dollar níos deacra ná mar a 1% ar an margadh milliún dollar, it isn’;t necessarily 10 uair is crua. I roinnt bealaí, Tá luacháil post den chineál céanna. Féach ar na toirteanna eochairfhocal do na 4 posts we’;ve examined: Mar a fheiceann tú, na méideanna mhargaidh (mar a mheastar de réir toirte eochairfhocal) do na heochairfhocail Déan Airgead ar líne agus Google Fachtóirí Rangú 2 –; 10x larger than the other two treoracha deiridh I did. Arís, they may be more competitive and it’;s hard to say how much, ach tá uasteorainn uasteorainn agus ba chóir é a chur san áireamh. Go deimhin, anseo tá roinnt de na heochairfhocail go leor go bhfuil na céimeanna bpost agus tagann tráchta ó (is é seo níos mó ná an ceann deireanach 30 laethanta) Mar a fheiceann tú, an méid an mhargaidh, chomh maith leis an éagsúlacht ina féidir le duine éigin frása an rún céanna, Ceadaíonn le haghaidh sraith éagsúla de na focail chun céim le haghaidh. For-rochtain Ba chóir go mbeadh an chéad dhá chuid ciall. Bhfaighidh tú ábhar post le sciar mór mhargadh go leor, iomaíocht réasúnach, agus ansin tú cothrom amach crush iad le post nach féidir aon duine a mhaíomh go bhfuil ceannasach. Ach ansin caithfidh tú gach duine a insint. Tá Brian ina mholtóir ollmhór for-rochtana, he’;s calls his method the Skyscraper Technique, and I can’;t agree more. In fact the main difference between my post on bealaí chun airgead a dhéanamh ar líne versus the other two, Ní raibh cé mhéad iarracht a chuir mé isteach a dhéanamh ar an bpost, ach cé mhéad iarracht a chuir mé isteach ag insint do dhaoine mar gheall ar an bpost. Chun starters, nuair a sheol mé an bhlag seo, I told everyone about this “;epic”; phost a bhí mé díreach tar éis scríofa. An r-phost Chuaigh beagán mar seo: Agus ansin bhí gach duine a bhí le feiceáil agam sa phost: Agus ansin ar ndóigh, chuir mé é go dtí a bunch na n-áiteanna Agus rinne mé roinnt rudaí eile chomh maith, mar shampla tweeting le comhrá gaolmhara, agus daoine ríomhphost a sheoladh chuig a scríobh phoist gaolmhara. I mbeagán focal, Fuair mé an post amach ann gach cén bealach a thiocfadh liom, and that’;s what got it hundreds of shares even though the blog had little traffic at this time. Ach Cad é an Roi? Cool, sin a gheobhaidh tú a lán de tráchta ó post amháin. Mar sin, cad a? Cad é go léir tráchta seo maith do? Go háirithe ag smaoineamh Ní féidir liom aon rud a dhíol fiú ar an suíomh gréasáin. Is é sin pointe cothrom, as this site is probably under monetized since I don’;t sell any info products or offer any services. That’;s partly the reason why I was originally considering to make that post a paid ebook that I would sell for say $9.99 ar Amazon. So very glad I didn’;t do that –; and here’;s why. Lig dom a thabhairt duit ar an iomlán, ach ar a laghad (an-coimeádach) ar ais ar an ríomh clúdach don Tuairisceán Ar Infheistíochta scríbhinn post amháin. Gcéad dul síos, cad a rinne sé costas dom, in terms of time and resources? Acmhainní a Scríobh An Post Seachfhoinsithe mé i ndáiríre go leor le beagán de sé, and I’;m going to ballpark the cost at around $100. That’;s the cost of hiring an assistant to perform the research, formáid an bpost, teacht ar chláir affiliate, for-rochtana, srl. Go bunúsach, $3.33/hr, do 33 uaireanta oibre. Mar do mo chuid ama, cé go raibh mé in ann a ligean amach go leor leor de na sé, thóg sé mé fós go leor le beagán de mo chuid ama féin. Let’;s say 20 uair an chloig. Mar sin, 20 uair an chloig agus $100 –; cad a rinne sé a fháil dom? Ós rud é go léiríonn sé seo an leathanach faoi 50% mo tráchta, Léiríonn sé chomh maith mar gheall ar 50% mo conversions ríomhphoist (Tá na meastacháin sin ballpark, I’;m assuming that the page converts around about average, atá maith go leor). Unfortunately I’;ve been messing with my Google Analytics goal conversions recently so I can’;t be more exact than that. Is féidir leat a léamh mo phost le déanaí faoi tuillimh $108 I mí Lúnasa Ag baint úsáide as Tar éis Tairiscintí, a thiomáint go hiomlán trí ups shíniú ríomhphost. Rud a chiallaíonn go bhfuil an bpost go bunúsach a rinne mé faoi $50 i mí Lúnasa. Agus cad a bheidh dócha faoi $100 i mí Mheán Fómhair, a leanfaidh de bheith míosúla athfhillteacha chomh fada agus a shealbhú ar na boinn tuisceana fíor: - I continue to use Tar éis Tairiscintí - Leanann sé ar ioncam inchomparáide thiomáint - Leanann an chuid is mó post a thiomáint tráchta / conversions inchomparáide Tá na boinn tuisceana cothrom. Mar sin, go $100 infheistíocht móide 20 uair an chloig de mo chuid ama, le meastachán coimeádach, D'fhéadfadh glan mé coimeádach ar fud $1050 sa bhliain seo chugainn (~ $ 50 / uair an chloig). Plus go léir na buntáistí breise de brandáil, níos mó agus níos mó tráchta síntiúsóirí! A Twist iontas? Oh online marketing –; i gcónaí le casadh ag an deireadh. Tar éis scríobh an post seo i mí Mheán Fómhair lig mé sé suí i gcomhréir le foilsiú, and then a “;funny”; rud a tharlóidh. Dealraíonn mo bhlag a bheith buailte ag Nuashonrú Google agus chaill mé méid réasúnta de mo tráchta orgánach! Ar ndóigh nuair a chonaic mé an titim, ceart timpeall an Google Nuashonruithe bhí i bhfeidhm, Thosaigh mé ag cuardach le haghaidh an culprit. Ar ndóigh, Bhí sé a bheith ar mo 500 Ways T0 Make Money Online post –; mar go bhfuil go nuair a thagann an chuid is mó de mo tráchta orgánach ó. So here’;s what it looks like now: Mar a fheiceann tú, i dtús mhí Dheireadh Fómhair, the post lost about half it’;s traffic –; WOW! Cén fáth? Tá mé go hionraic aon leid. I haven’;t done any link building or sketchy stuff with this blog –; it’;s 100% glan (and I didn’;t receive any webspam messages). An rud amháin mé ag teacht suas le é go raibh sé seo go bunúsach a cheartú do phost a dócha chóir riamh a fuair trácht orgánach an oiread agus is a bhí sé ag fáil. That’;s just me being hypothetical. I don’;t have a ton of experience correcting penalties and of course with no indication from Google, it’;s just one of those things that happens, Bíonn tú ag iontas, agus fágann tú aon cúrsa gníomhaíochta. Dealraíonn an chuid eile den bhlag a bheith fíneáil btw, den chuid is mó fuair knocked díreach post síos. A thabhairt i gcrích So now you’;re wondering, i ndiaidh an deireadh iontas, is é an post seo fós bailí? Is é mo freagra yes, and here’;s why. In ainneoin an cnag síos ag an deireadh, the post still delivers a very healthy amount of organic traffic to the blog –; ach ní leor an oiread agus is a úsáidtear é chun, a bhí i ndáiríre dÚsachtach go leor chun tús a chur leis. Ar an ábhar sin, Chuaigh mé amach romhainn agus d'fhoilsigh an post seo fiú leis an deireadh géar. Anois, I honestly don’;t write every post on this blog, thinking about how much traffic it is or isn’;t going to bring me. Uaireanta scríobh mé díreach tar cás-staidéar, nó a bheith cabhrach, nó go a thógáil ar mo branda. Agus uaireanta scríobh mé díreach faoi is cuma cad an heck dar liom, because it’;s my blog. Ach tá an fhírinne go má bhí mé 100% i gceist mar gheall ar thrácht, is é seo an cineál straitéis agus ag smaoineamh Ba mhaith liom a bheith a chomhtháthú. Mar gheall ar an deireadh an lae, agus an 500 Bealaí a dhéanamh ar Airgead ar Líne RAIBH ghlacadh le fada a scríobh, if I only had three of them I’;d be doing 50% “;better”; on the blog than I’;m doing now. Agus gan amhras, Raibh mé in ann a scríobh 3 500 Bealaí a dhéanamh na poist de chineál ar Airgead ar Líne i níos lú ama ná mar a thóg sé mé a scríobh ar an 40 or so posts I’;ve published to date. An trácht agus Roi tacaíonn sé chomh fiúntach. Mar sin, smaoineamh faoi sin, Go háirithe mar straitéis seoladh.
