Blogging Consistently For Traffic

Its a well known fact that if you blog and provide valuable information on a consistent basic, leverage the effect with a few other marketing methods, you would be able to generate truckloads of traffic. Sounds easy enough. The problem arises when there is a lack of quality content to blog about. Every blogger faces the same problem, the problem of “Blogging for the sake of putting something up” Vs “Blogging and providing valuable content”.

Then again valuable content is subjective, for every niche, there are varying degrees of levels that your readership will comprise of - from beginner to advanced. And if you are positioning yourself as a certain authority within a certain niche, it is inevitable that sometimes the thoughts run dry.

Here I must admit, due to the heavy workload of projects that I have on hand. I haven’t been providing as much valuable content as I would have wished. Especially since this website/blog is not even meant to monetized (You don’t see affiliate links or google adsense galore do you?) as my money is made in other niches.

Hence there are moments that I envy those bloggers that just keep blogging daily non-stop. One of them I know is Charles Lau, even though he’s not a prominent blogger. He still finds the time to blog lengthly posts daily, sometimes even 2 to 3 posts a day. Without saying, his efforts are paying off and it sure seems like traffic to his blog has jumped by leaps and bounds. He was also kind enough to do a free video review of of this blog here. So if you are interested in having a video review done for your website/blog, you can engage his services for a small nominal fee.

Wow that was really fast Charles. Were you stalking my blog to post a comment so fast? Thank you for your compliment, however I am not a prominent person at all. I just sit in my corner and earn my $$$ quietly.

Anyways, great job on the traffic bump. You certainly reap what you sow.

Regards,
Alvin Huang

Hey Alvin,

I understand man.

I too can’t afford to blog everyday. It’s not something I worry about, because I don’t intend to monetize my blog as well.

It just serves as a mean to write about my marketing ideas.

I think quality takes precedence over quantity.

Yours is the former, so good job!
