How to feed the machine…

Traffic building with content marketing is a superb way to create endless waves of traffic into your online world.

And you do want endless waves of traffic into your online world, right?

5 powerful traffic steps

So in this article I'm going to break down something I've been saying for years into 5 repeatable steps. Then I'm going to add a bonus step or two for you too.

Here is what I've been saying for years to my students. I call it my "traffic mantra"

Don't chase after traffic. Find out where the traffic is going and get your content in front of it. Then redirect that traffic exactly where you want it to go.

Now let's break that down into each of the 5 steps, and then add the bonus steps.

Here we go:

Step 1 - Don't chase after traffic

The biggest "chase after traffic" mess I see people get into is paying for traffic before they are ready. It's my belief that you should never pay for traffic unless and until you have a proven and tested infrastructure to send your traffic through. Until such time, there are plenty of free way to build traffic that helps you build your system.

Step 2 - Find out where the traffic is already going

The traffic is already going somewhere. So check out where the traffic is already going in your niche. Is it to Facebook, LinkedIn, or some other social media platform? Is it to webinars to learn more about your topic? Find out.

Step 3 - Get your content in front of where the traffic is already going

Once you discover where the traffic in your niche is going, get your content in front of that traffic. Get your articles, videos, social media up dates, blog posts, pins, however you purpose and repurpose your content, get in front of that traffic.

Step 4 - Redirect the traffic exactly where you want it to go

Simply redirect that traffic where you want it to go. You do this by including a link with your content showing your prospect exactly where you want them to go next. Send them to your opt-in pages, your sign up pages for webinars, your sales pages and more.

Step 5 - Feed the machine - Then you "feed the machine" by creating a constant stream of content and getting it in front of where the traffic is going.
