Sharing your way to success

The idea behind this concept is quite simple.� Find web sites that are looking for content, there a ton of them out where.� Begin by writing an article for them and submit them.� Articles that will receive the most response will be ones that help people - shocking, I know!

If you are looking for ideas, I would suggest by creating an article about your experience with your web site.� Just because your web site isn't technical or a blog, etc... this does NOT mean that you cannot share with people.� No matter what your web site does or sells, there has to be something about it that you can share with others.� This can range from information about your payment processor, how you came up with your idea, etc, etc...� The possibilities are endless.

Now, you may be asking, "Why do I want to share with others?"� The answer to this is quite simple, people like it when you help them.� It's as simple as that.� If you help people and they are interested in what you have to offer, they will visit your web site or product.� If it's really good advice, even more people will visit your web site!

In case you still don't believe me, let me provide you some cold hard facts.� I've only recently began sharing my content.� In February of this year (2009), I began my blog.� I created this blog so I can share my knowledge with people.� That and I use it as a reference for myself in my future endeavors.� I always try to blog about things I've done or do often, this way, when I do it again, I can just copy and paste it from my blog.� It was clear that things I write about, people enjoy.� In less than one month, my blog was gaining momentum.� I was receiving, on average, about 200 unique visitors per day.� I thought this was pretty decent, considering all I had done was write content, create a Google sitemap and let people find the content.

For the next two months, this number has remained pretty steady.� I still wasn't committed to promoting my content, I was focused on writing.� Now that I have a bit of content up, I've started focusing on promoting and the best way I've found so far is sharing.� I've been doing this for about a month now and I've finally seen a spike in my traffic.� It's gone from about 200 a day to roughly 400 uniques per day, with huge spikes of over 1,500 unique in a day!� Yes, this is all from sharing content.

Unique hits are great, but let's talk dollars and cents as well.� With my 200 unique a day, I wasn't making much money, I would average it at about $0.30 per day.� Lately that average has gone to over $1.00 a day, with peaks of over $10.00!� It sure is nice to start seeing a bit of reward out of my hard work.
