Traffic Time!!
Apart from actually choosing the niche, I would say that web traffic is probably the most important success criteria.
You could have found the hungriest bunch of buyers on the internet, but if
Traffic from a Youtube video
One of my first tactics is to get a link back from a high authority site. An example of this would be youtube.
As you may remember in part 1, I mentioned that this niche came about due to a conversation with my brother. He was going on about guitar looping.
So now I have my site live, I am going to get him to help me create a video.
Because he knows the subject, all I needed to do was turn up with my FLIP cam. You can obvioulsy use whatever video camera you like but the FLIP cam makes it incredibly easy for me because it plus straight into my laptop when the video is done.
So I got him to sit down in his spare room, I setup the FLIP cam and he explained to me how he uses guitar looping to create tracks.
I then edited it and added a beginning and end and some effects in the middle with some basic software on my Apple Mac called iMovie.
Create a YouTube account
I then created a youtube account. You can do this simply by visiting Youtube and clicking on ‘create account’. There’s a load of ways you can develop your facebook page so that it fits the style of your niche, but for now i’m keeping it simple.
Once my video is ready, I upload it to youtube. In the description area for the video I add a link to my site.
Simple. That’s the first link created from an authority site.
You also need to make sure the title and the tags contain your keywords.
I then embedded that video into a post on my site to create an extra page. This is an example of using content more than once to get more results.
Next post i’ll be looking at more ways of creating links back to the site.
