By this time you are probably tired of hearing me say that I have no technical skills. But when it comes down to it, this is something that I have to deal with everyday. For instance, how is a blogger to increase traffic without any technical knowledge such as SEO, coding, etc? Well, this blog may not be getting as much traffic as it would if I were a technical genius, but I have come up with some ways of my own to get the job done.
Here are three non-technical ways to increase traffic to your blog.
1. Quality content will outdo any “technical trick†any day of the week. Of course, you may get more traffic faster if you have good tech skills, but in the long run quality posts will win out. Remember, your readers are visiting your blog for the information you provide, not because you have a vast amount of technical knowledge; unless your blog is about a technical subject, of course. But even then, words power your blog!
2. Meet other bloggers who are interested in the same topic as you. This is a great way to build a network, and hopefully get some links pointing towards your site. Back links are non technical, and one of the best ways to increase traffic.
3. Try to offer information with your own unique spin. Even though there may not be many topics that have not been touched upon, you can surely put a unique twist on everything you write. Simply put, have your own voice.
Chances are that you may have come across similar tips in the past. But as number three states, I hope that putting this in my voice will help you to realize that you can increase traffic to your blog even if your technical skills are not advanced.Â
Chances are that if you are reading this blog you are interested in how to make money online. If so, I totally agree with what you are doing. One of the best ways to learn how to make money online is by reading about those who are already successful. Unfortunately, some people have a hard time finding blogs that teach how to make money online in a way that interests them.
Fortunately, you never again have to worry about this. 45n5 has put together a list of the Top 100 money making blogs. It is safe to say that visiting these blogs will give you more information than you can handle in the area of making money online.
Before you spend hours on end reading these blogs, there is one thing that you should remember. Even though learning from others is a great way to get started, you eventually have to go at it on your own. The bottom line is that you are never going to make money online by simply reading about others successes. You need to start your own career so that you can join this Top 100 list!
As a freelance writer you are responsible for not only writing, but also the organization of your work. After all, if you take a scatter gun approach there is a chance that you will forget an important client, and end up without the work in the future. And obviously this is not something that you want to happen.
The question is: how do you divide your time among clients? This is an important detail to consider, but one that a lot of freelancers never take into consideration.
Here are three tips when trying to divvy up your time.
1. Spend the most time with your top paying clients. But of course, this does not mean that you should neglect the others. Simply put, you should make sure that you never lose your high paying clients because they are the ones that you rely on the most. Obviously, you do not want to get so caught up on them that you neglect smaller jobs.
2. Set a schedule. This will allow you to make time for every client that you have. While you may have to stray away from your schedule from time to time, having a basic outline is better than attempting to complete all your jobs by memory.
3. If you feel that you have too much work to handle, start to phase out your lower paying jobs. This is a tough thing to do, but remember, it is your duty to treat each client with the respect they deserve. And to go along with this, each client will expect your best work. You need to deliver!
These three tips will help you to divide time among your clients. This may not sound important, but to run a top notch freelance writing operation it is essential.
