How to create and audience and how to Write Epic Shit

Write Epic Shit
http://thinktraffic.net/write-epic-shit

Guess what percentage of our conversations so far have been spent discussing promotional strategies. Seriously, make a guess.

The answer? Less than 20%.

In every conversation I’ve had with wildly successful entrepreneurs and bloggers about building website traffic, promotional tactics only make up 20% of our talks.

So, what is the other 80% of building a popular site about?

Building a raving audience online all starts with writing epic shit. Period. Hands down. End of story.

(If you aren’t building a blog, substitute the word “create” for “write.” Create epic shit. Either way, the formula is the same.)

Write things that make people think. Inspire people. Change lives. Create value. Blow people away with your usefulness.

How To Use Google Trends

Google Trends And Why You Should Use It.

 

First what is google trends, to me google trends helps track what people have done in the past. If you know what people have done before, then you have a good idea of what they will do in the future.

This helps you make an educated guess of how to make your next move.

A quick silly example is Halloween.  If you check when people start to type in the word Halloween it would be a good indicator of when people are interested in halloween stuff.  So you could start to make an educated guess on when to start a ppc campaign.

So when you don't know for sure it gives you a place to start.

 

In this video you will learn how to use google trends
