8 Ways To Direct Local Traffic To Your Blog

No doubt one of the best ways to drive the spotlight to your business is through blogging. While Twitter is still king, blogging has a certain charm all its own. It’s a terrific way for your fans and followers to get to know you and you to get to know them. Thing is, what’s a blog without readers?

One of the biggest challenges of blogging is the challenge of directing traffic to the blog website. It’s easy to lose the motivation to blog when you know no one reads your blog other than yourself.

But if you’re blogging for business, it isn’t as easy as, “Okay I’m done with this. Maybe blogging isn’t really my thing.” You got a business to run. Instead of putting salt on the wound, why not use the time to consolidate if you’re doing it right? Here are 8 tips on how to drive local traffic to your blog.

Instant Strategies Anyone Can Use To Market Their Online Photography Services

Two weeks ago, I was looking for good photographer here in Calgary. I need a head shot picture for my blog.

So I Google “calgary photographers” and I was surprised how many freelance photographers we have in the city.

I guess a photography service is a great side job.

And then I saw this guy’s work and I was impressed. So I gave him a call to talk about his services.

From our discussion, I can feel how much he loves taking pictures but I can also feel that he struggles in getting consistent income from this talent and passion.

Photography is no doubt a profitable pursuit nowadays.

I know quite a few people—I’m sure you do too—who’s decided to buy their own Canon DSLR cameras, but no amount of high-end gadgetry can match the artistic and careful eye of a talented photographer like yourself.

No one would trust their wedding day in the hands of an amateur with an expensive camera. They’ll hire a professional. You want to venture out into this world, hopefully make a small profit doing something you love and know you’re good at. And you’re aware the online industry is the place to start, but how? Where does a solo service professional begin to make a name for himself online?

The thing you need to know about marketing your photography service business on the internet is you need to stick to a realistic plan with a realistic goal in mind. Start small. Keep a modest budget in hand. As your client-base grows and business starts to pick up, then you can invest on a broader set of online tools to increase traffic flow into your website.

Here’s what you need to get started on your online marketing campaign:

Marketing Case Study: A Consultation With A Business Broker In Calgary

Have you ever wondered why you can’t convert your website visitors into a paying client?

Most web sites are designed by graphic artists. People who are educated and skilled in arts and design.

So what’s the problem with that?

They are not marketers. They design web sites wearing a “designer” hat instead of a “marketer” hat.

I’m an Internet marketing coach and my job is not to design you a “pretty” website. My job is to create you a “client getting system.” And that’s the difference between me and the rest of my competitors.

Listen in this audio program as I interviewed a Calgary based business broker where we talked about his business and how to get clients from the Internet.

You’ll learn…

  • The deceivingly single web page that will pour leads to your business.
  • How to turn these leads into paying clients.
  • How we discovered the huge potential waiting for him.
  • How to separate yourself with your competitors and dominate your market.
  • How to drive traffic to your site without spending a dime in advertising.
  • The “hypnotic technique” that every service and independent professionals should know to win their prospects.

The Carpet Cleaning Business That’s Not Clean Enough

It was 11:36 in the morning and I’m in my home office studying when my phone rang.

I normally don’t answer phone calls if I’m studying but for some reason I had the urge to do it this time.

Sure enough as I suspect, it’s a cold call from a Carpet Cleaning Company based in Calgary, Alberta.

The tone of the telemarketer was friendly and he said “Hi, my name is Richard and I’m from XYZ Company. How are you today?”

And then he said that they have a promotion going on and offering me their services for $89.95.

I think the price is reasonable but as a typical consumer, I just don’t jump in and accept any offer especially from a cold call. I want to think about it first and see what their competitors have.

So I just asked him to leave his company name and telephone number.

Quickly I went to Google, and searched for their company name.

They don’t seem to have a website but I was surprised to what I’ve discovered.
