Case Study: Turning $100 into 10,000 visitors and 100+ Links

I’ve been testing out blogging in different niches lately, doing some posts for a personal site and also coming up with post ideas for clients. My experience is that there is a lot to gain from writing in a new niche, from learning how to network with zero status and using popular content ideas in an industry where they don’t exist.

This post is going to look at a simple tactic that brought over 10,000 visitors and hundreds of links that you can replicate today.

6 Sure-Fire Tactics to Re-Ignite your Linkbait

Do you ever think you’ve wrote the perfect viral piece, only to see it flop on Digg and other social sites? Or that because your content didn’t ‘make it’ there’s nothing else you can do?

I’m not one of these social media marketers that simply write about the topic (sadly, there are a lot of them), I work with some of the biggest companies in the world: consistently driving huge amounts of traffic.

Although I would never put these into practice on a respected site, these are just some of my findings that I think you might find interesting.

Learn to Work Smarter, Not Harder: Before it Kills You

You may find the title of this blog post a little dramatic, personally I think it could have more impact but I don’t want you to think I’m trying to pull off a ’social-friendly’ title without the content to back it up.
