How A 7 Day Old Blog Attracted 500 Visitors And Over $1,000,000 In New Customers

A week ago today I started a blog over at wordpress.  It's at http://mattgoffrey.wordpress.com

In that single week I've gotten 500 visitors to the blog, 50 people signed up to the mailing list, but more importantly 12 new consulting clients.  Because of how I'm paid, each of these should be worth $200,000 to me pretty easily if they follow my advice (and most do because of how I work with people).

So how did I do this?  How did such new blog ... and a free blog hosted on wordpress no less ... get traffic, email subscribers, and new business?

InfusionSoft -versus- 1ShoppingCart: Which Is Better?

If you’re going to do business online, then using some of the integrated ecommerce packages can save you so much time and make so many things easier that honestly it’s just better to use them over trying to “piece meal” thing together from multiple different vendors..

What I’m going to do is compare two integrated systems for managing the “back end” of your business.  Systems that provide, email list management, autoresponder, payment processing, shopping cart, and so on in a way that integrates all of it: 1ShoppingCart and InfusionSoft.

1ShoppingCart is probably the most usedintegrated solution, used by more web businesses than any other; but how does it compare to InfusionSoft which is probably the most expensive?

Does 1ShoppingCart “deserve” it’s most popular position?  Is InfusionSoft “worth” the additional cost?

What you do with it is just as important as getting it

There are a lot of ways of getting traffic, and as I've said in previous posts, ideally you're getting traffic from as many different sources as possible.

However, once you're getting traffic, what you choose to do with it is nearly as important as actually getting the traffic in the first place.  Far too many people simply throw traffic at a product page.

To me, this is a huge mistake.

Ideally, traffic will FIRST go to something that will give them some great information and leave them wanting more.  Which you provide when they sign up to your mailing list.

By creating an email list you get the chance to demonstrate expertise and the chance to create a relationship.

Now you can start to sell things from the position of an exert/market authority.  It'll be much easier to sell things for much high prices.

I often have clients tell me that this model doesn't work for any wide variety of reasons.  One person sold swords. Another crafts, yet another cleaning chemicals for manufacturers.  With every single one of them, without adding ANY new traffic, I nearly doubled their sales within 6 weeks.

All of them thanks to doing what I just said in this message.

When you contact me about getting your free strategy session (click the link above for details to do that) I'll explain how you can implement this strategy in your business.

The fastest way to get traffic

Without a doubt the fastest and easiest way to get traffic is to use an email list from someone that already has your customers.

You then get that person to send an email to their people promoting your business.

Interestingly, that's not as hard as it sounds.  NextMark keeps a massive database of email lists you can tap into for a pretty nominal charge.

When I take on a client, this is often my first stop.

Let me warn you though, some (most actually) of the lists at nextmark are garbage.  There is a way of separating the good lists from the bad.

I explain how to do this in my free strategy sessions.  If you would like one, simply click the strategy session link for an explanation on how to get yours.
