And believe it or not, it wasn't tough. It isn't a secret. And it doesn't require you invest in any home study course, buy any DVD's, attend any seminars or trust me at all. It only requires that you suspend your skepticism long enough to CARE enough to invest in your business with the ONE marketing strategy that will never go away.

If you can create content, and are willing to work and are SUPER serious about success, you can achieve the same results as I did above.
What did I do?
Along with a business partner... I went into a niche, with a very high advertising cost threshold, and some super high paying affiliate programs that I really wanted to promote. My partner in the project was a well known PPC "guru" who had a whole series of spreadsheets and tracking software and all kinds of fancy pants terminology for every part of the pay per click process.
What he didn't have, of course... was a back up plan once the paid traffic plan was BLEEDING us big money on a day in and day out basis. (we were losing almost 4 figures on some days in ad spend, even though this was SUPPOSED to be his area of expertise in the online teaching landscape)
Before we went broke, belly up and stuck like Chuck with a big bill neither of us wanted to pay...
I attacked the market with content. I wrote articles. I Built blogs. I created review sites. I repurposed my content in as many creative ways as I could think of... spreading each and every word into any nook and niche cranny that I could find.
What we found was this:
The content converted like CRAZY. Much better than the PPC ads. So much so, as a matter of fact, that we stopped spending money on pay per click advertising altogether. And you know what? The torrents of traffic continued to grow.
It WAS a lot of work for about a month. A lot of writing, and a lot of re-purposing and a lot of learning. But when it was said and done, in a matter of mere months, we had generated MILLIONS of readers, and sent over 250,000 unique visitors to just ONE of the high paying affiliate programs I had wanted to promote from the beginning.
(and considering those ads were costing OVER $1 per click... that's quite a hefty savings in free traffic alone)
The good news?
Even today, as I write this well over a year later, we still get lots of traffic, every single day... from that crushing content marketing campaign created way back when. (I haven't touched it since) Anyone can do the exact same thing, and the good news is, it WORKS like magic, EXACTLY as advertised, even when the guru's idea's don't..;-)
