subject: Second Business - Finding Traffic And Money [print this page] Building website traffic is easily one of the most important factors in creating a successful second business and making money online. However, web traffic building methods often have to be implemented in the very early stages of website creation.
I've seen hundreds of websites out there that look incredible and have the best graphics and usability. But what use are these when there's no one there to see them?
A PRETTY SITE WON'T GET YOU VISITORS!
The one thing that is easily the most important, and probably the last thing you want to hear, is that you need to create good quality content, regularly. Everybody wants to make money fast when they're creating a second business like this, but creating content doesn't have to be long and it is good fun. So don't be put off.
Finding something to write about can be hard, but becoming an expert on something is the easiest thing in the world. Use the internet and other literature to read and rewrite pieces of info. It couldn't be more simple. Obviously there are loads more web traffic building techniques out there for your second business, but I thought I should just "hit home" the subject of content, because it is THAT important.
One piece I concentrate on is article writing. This can sound a bit scary because I bet you're probably not a writer, but if someone like me can write, I'm sure you can. Plus there are loads of shortcuts you can take that'll make article writing easy (like getting other people to do it for you).
You can even create videos on all the articles you write. Making a video from something you've written is easy. All you have to do is explain the information from the article with your mouth to a camera. Plus Google and the other search engines love videos and will place them far higher in the search engine rankings. A video that provides good content will drive quality content to your site. This is money in the bag for your second business.
Don't try and do too many different online marketing techniques at once. This is one of the best pieces of advice I've been given. Try and really master just a couple like articles and videos. If you don't want to use articles and videos for your second business that's fine. Just remember not to do too many different types because you will get bogged down.
