Businesses live and die by their database. Have a good list of people interested in hearing from you – and buying, and you can usually get results when you offer them something of value.
Making money online is no different. It’s all about traffic volume and building your list. Then offering products that are relevant – products that help them accomplish their goals or solve their problems. It’s about being useful. I’m currently at the beginning stage of needing traffic. Before I’ll make any money of consequence, I need to connect with people – and give them a reason for stopping by.
Ashley Morgan from Upstart Blogger presents the idea of offering space on your blog to those without much traffic to write a guest post and drive traffic back to theirs. It’s about offering a platform from which to grow. In exchange, both grow their networks through cross promotion. In the connected economy, it’s all about connections, right? And in the uber-crowded world of infinite information, it’s about standing out from the clutter. Some times it takes a little nudge to open the traffic funnel. But when that happens, the key is to continually stay relevant and nurture your new-found traffic.
So as I’m at that beginning stage and don’t have a lot of traffic to offer, I’m certainly open to offering my communication insights to those interested in a guest post. And I’m also naturally open to a guest post by someone with traffic, but who’s looking to grow even more. Sound like a win win? Interested? Let’s talk.
