This is a do-as-I-say
not a do-as-I-do post
’cause I don’t give a rat’s ass about traffic.
Yes, I like having readers
because whenever
I debate whether
to write
100 words here
or
to write
100 words on a novel,
I look at my traffic numbers
and can justify
my time here at Clientk.
But I don’t actively build any traffic.
I certainly don’t use
James Clear’s five methods to build blog traffic.
1. Start a newsletter list
2. Get the word out with guest posts
3. Brand yourself as an expert through interviews
4. Use social media strategically
and
5. Use the power of search.
However, having built blog traffic
on other sites,
I CAN attest that it works
but, as James states,
“Everyone else talks about this stuff,
but few people actually do it.
Don’t make the mistake of knowing what to,
but failing to execute on it.”
