The (Not-So-Secret) Secret to Turning Your Website Traffic into Paying Customers

We all do it … daydream about our website finally breaking through … getting the attention it deserves … and actually allowing us to earn a living on our terms.

Sometimes we see a glimmer of this dream coming true with a steady rise of subscribers, a flood of comments with each article, or a rush of traffic from a successful guest blog post.

When this happens we hold our breath and wonder: "Maybe this could happen to me. Maybe my ship is finally coming in and I could earn an honest living from my website."

And I don't care who you are. Writer. Podcaster. Business coach. Web designer. Real estate agent. Handbag designer. In one way or another, you are a content creator interested in online marketing … and dreaming of turning your hard work into cash.

But there is just one problem ...

Launching a Website - The Ultimate Guide

I’m often asked about the biggest mistakes that I’ve made while starting and running my online businesses. I typically answer with the following:

Not starting sooner. Thinking about money before serving an audience. Trying to do everything on my own. Not immediately starting an email list. Using a trademark in a domain name.

With Niche Site Duel 2.0 in full swing and with branding and the launch of a new website just around the corner, I’m reminded of another mistake that I made when starting each of my online businesses:

Not creating a launch plan.

You don’t need a launch plan in order to build a successful website or online business, but without one, you miss out on the opportunity to make some noise on day one that could easily put you 3-6 months ahead of where you would be if you just started publishing content without a plan.

Without a launch plan you’re publishing content for nobody.

When you first create a website, nobody knows about it but you. Your best content is wasted and eventually over time gets hidden in the archives. There are ways to bring new life back to old blog posts, but when you’re first starting out you want as many people to read those posts as possible. More readers = more sharing and more authority right off the bat.

There’s no reason you should ever be writing for nobody.

Let’s explore how to avoid that…
