sound of that i think you will love the
00:39
free course i have for you at the end of
00:42
this video now the best way to use these
00:45
five traffic sources is to view them as
00:48
communities that give you direct access
00:52
to your target audience so let’s head to
00:54
the computer and go through each of them
00:57
the first one i’ve got for you today is
00:59
medium.com it’s got
01:02
165 million
01:04
visits every single month enormous
01:07
opportunity here and this is medium now
01:11
as we can see
01:13
they are publishing blog posts from
01:16
a wide range of people covering a wide
01:18
range of niches
01:20
and topics now to see what your
01:22
competitors are doing go to the search
01:25
bar here and type in some seed keywords
01:28
perhaps marketing or health or whatever
01:31
is relevant to you
01:33
and now we can
01:34
narrow down to find stories people
01:36
publications or topics so if we want to
01:39
take a deep dive into marketing perhaps
01:41
marketing automation big fan of
01:44
marketing automation here you’re going
01:46
to see what your competitors are writing
01:49
and the response they’re getting for
01:51
that content for example this piece of
01:53
content was published five days ago it’s
01:56
got 74 likes
01:58
people are commenting on there this one
02:00
is 50.
02:02
some are faring better than others but
02:03
there is enormous opportunity on medium
02:07
if you use it in the right way it’s also
02:10
going to give you some vital stats so
02:13
for this keyword marketing automation
02:16
you are competing with 6 000 stories
02:19
and 3 000
02:20
writers now if you want to cover this
02:23
topic go ahead and start writing click
02:25
that button it’s going to take you
02:27
directly to the publish dashboard when
02:30
it comes to medium there’s a couple of
02:32
pointers that i need you to be aware of
02:34
first of all
02:35
the headline this is true for any
02:37
platform any piece of content that we
02:39
publish the headline has to be strong
02:42
has to have an emotional hook to it has
02:45
to have a clear big benefit
02:47
and
02:48
you can link out to your own website
02:51
from medium in fact you can republish
02:53
content from your existing website
02:56
to medium with a click of a mouse let me
02:59
show you how to do that if we go to
03:01
the profile icon here go to the avatar
03:05
if we go down to
03:07
stories
03:09
click on that and now you can import a
03:12
story
03:14
to do that all you have to do is paste
03:15
in the url of your piece of content
03:19
click import do add an image i would
03:23
strongly strongly advise you to rewrite
03:26
the headline target slightly different
03:28
keywords because you really don’t want
03:30
to
03:31
compete with your own piece of content
03:33
now the obvious question here is is this
03:36
duplicate content when you paste in a
03:38
link here
03:40
medium will credit your website as the
03:43
original source so in theory
03:47
link juice and or credit should be
03:49
passed to your website however
03:52
medium does have a lot of domain
03:54
authority
03:55
and that is more than likely going to
03:58
sway things so bear that in mind but do
04:01
use it as a traffic source you’re also
04:03
going to get organic
04:05
traffic from this from the search
04:07
engines so don’t directly compete with
04:09
your own keywords
04:11
next up is linkedin linkedin.com it’s
04:14
got over a billion page views every
04:17
month and we can see that is consistent
04:20
now when it comes to getting traffic
04:22
from linkedin we have several options
04:24
but the one that i’m going to focus on
04:26
today
04:27
is writing articles and publishing
04:29
articles so here we have
04:31
photo
04:33
video event write article click on that
04:36
it’s going to take you to a dashboard
04:38
here again we need to focus on the
04:40
headline use a strong image images
04:43
strong images can do really well on
04:46
linkedin because of course that’s the
04:48
first thing that people are going to see
04:49
they see the image before the headline
04:51
so it has to be striking and then he
04:54
here you can add in all your content and
04:57
we can add image video slides links and
05:01
snippets i think this is all pretty much
05:04
self-explanatory let’s move on to the
05:05
next one it is wordpress.com
05:09
i need to point point out something here
05:12
we’re not looking at wordpress.org
05:14
they are two separate websites you want
05:16
to go to dot com
05:18
and create a
05:20
hosted website
05:22
or host a blog on wordpress.com now this
05:25
is not going to be your main blog but we
05:27
are going to use it to send traffic to
05:30
your main blog
05:31
so this has got over 300 million visits
05:35
every month and the reason why i’m
05:37
encouraging you to bring this into your
05:39
marketing strategy is because on
05:41
wordpress.com
05:44
we have this tab so we have my site if
05:46
you click that it will take you to all
05:48
the information about your blog on
05:50
wordpress.com but really importantly it
05:53
gives you this reader dashboard so if i
05:56
type in something like health or
05:58
marketing or something relevant to
06:00
the niche you’re going to get back a
06:03
whole bunch of content that people have
06:05
published for those keywords and this is
06:08
where it gets really interesting so we
06:10
can see that the content here is timely
06:13
it’s recent
06:14
and most importantly it’s gaining
06:16
traction
06:17
so this piece of content so far
06:20
has had 69 comments and over 300 likes
06:24
this one which was published two days
06:27
ago 36 comments 110 likes and you can
06:30
see that this is consistent right across
06:33
the board there is enormous levels of
06:36
traffic on wordpress.com it is such an
06:40
underutilized
06:41
traffic source most people ignore it but
06:44
the ones who are smart and they realize
06:46
that there are communities here do
06:49
really well for themselves and that’s
06:51
why i’m encouraging you to
06:53
bring this into your marketing strategy
06:55
don’t use it as your main website but do
06:58
link to your website from here you’re
07:00
also going to benefit from backlinks and
07:03
that is true
07:04
all the platforms i’m sharing here today
07:07
so we just hit add new post
07:10
and it works in exactly the same way as
07:14
a self-hosted wordpress
07:16
website so if you’re if you’re already
07:18
using wordpress you already know how to
07:20
use this dashboard what i would
07:23
encourage you to do
07:24
is make sure that you add tags tagging
07:28
is really important for that search
07:30
engine the the
07:31
wordpress.com search engine that people
07:34
use to find relevant content so make
07:36
sure that your keywords are on point
07:38
here as well it’s just a search engine
07:41
so it runs on an algorithm just like
07:44
google however probably not as
07:46
sophisticated okay let’s move on to the
07:48
next traffic source it is hubpages.com
07:51
now these guys get over 2 million
07:54
visits a month
07:56
and if we go ahead and take a look we
07:58
can see that they cover a wide range of
08:00
niches here and they allow people to
08:02
publish directly on the platform in
08:05
order to do that you just create a free
08:08
account once you log in you will get a
08:11
dashboard like this so first of all give
08:13
it a strong title choose your topic
08:16
check out all these different niches
08:18
that you can publish to
08:20
and they even have sub topics or sub
08:23
keywords here so
08:25
again that’s going to give you
08:28
really targeted traffic so for example
08:31
if we go to business
08:34
we can now go down to advertising and
08:37
then we can drill down into ad campaigns
08:40
so now you’re targeting people who are
08:42
specifically interested
08:44
in that topic and again we can publish
08:46
on here to drive traffic back to your
08:49
main website or to your landing pages
08:51
one more thing before we move on to the
08:53
next traffic source is we can copy from
08:56
another article that you have published
08:59
on the platform so that’s going to make
09:01
life pretty easy for you so let’s move
09:03
on to the next one it is called
09:06
vocal.media now according to similar web
09:09
it gets
09:10
over 3 million visits a month almost 4
09:14
million and the website looks like this
09:17
so if we take a look at the type of
09:19
content that is being published we’ll
09:22
see that it is largely educational
09:24
content which is fantastic for marketers
09:27
because as we all know educate
09:29
educational content excuse me
09:31
educational content exists at the top of
09:34
the funnel and that’s a great way to
09:36
bring people into your email list where
09:38
you can then warm them up before
09:40
pitching affiliate offers so let’s take
09:43
a look at one of the pieces of content
09:45
here it looks to me like it’s
09:48
not a massive piece of content
09:51
so we don’t have to do a great deal of
09:54
work here and listen if you’re using a i
09:57
then all this becomes a breeze if you
09:59
want me to make more videos about using
10:02
ai or artificial intelligence software
10:05
to create content
10:06
by clicking buttons and you can create
10:09
thousands of words literally in minutes
10:11
let me know in the comments i will go
10:12
ahead and create more videos about
10:15
artificial intelligence for content
10:17
creation so to publish on this platform
10:20
it’s really easy
10:22
go to your profile
10:24
go to create story and again
10:27
it works in
10:28
exactly the same way as every other
10:30
dashboard except it will allow us to
10:32
import unsplash
10:34
images which is really handy so that’s a
10:37
really nice time saver there so that’s
10:40
called vocal.media
10:42
now the important thing to note with
10:44
this just like any marketing strategy
10:46
is that you have to be consistent
10:47
because when you are consistent you can
10:49
achieve amazing results like matt he’s
10:53
one of my students he’s made over two
10:56
million dollars from my traffic methods
10:59

11:01

11:04
