There are so many traffic strategies out there that you can employ to boost your blog’s growth. Every so often a new method will be blasted over the internet and we will all jump it to test its worth.

The truth is you don’t need a new fancy traffic generation method, when you have a blog you have the three most important components.

1. Epic content that is designed to drive traffic.
2. An email address that you can reach out to influencers.
3. A opt in form that you can collect your own army of fans. ( you should start building your email list from day one!)

How many times have you heard the saying, “content is king?”

Billions of searches are made on Google every day for various types of content. There are also over a billion active websites and blogs on the internet today. With all of this content overload, it’s not a matter of simply creating content — it’s a matter of doing it better.

So let’s dive in and have a look at how you can design your content for maximum impact…

What Does Your Content Need To Skyrocket Your Traffic?

Any blog post has the ability to becoming a traffic generating monster. As long as the actual content is valuable and solves your audience’s problem you can add these to get it circulated.

So what are these little pieces of gold?

1. The post has to be easy to share (SumoMe and Click To Tweet are a great way to get this covered)
2. Feature experts in your field (this is a great way to borrow authority from more established people.)
3. Over deliver in every single way possible (great content isn’t enough you need EPIC content, you need to beat your competition in every way possible)

These things are so simple to implement you would be silly not to utilize them. Now let’s look at featuring experts, this is where people normally fall off the wagon.

New bloggers are scared to employ the help of others because they don’t feel they are good enough yet. You could not be farther from the truth!

When you are new feedback is great and it builds social proof.

If you are an Amazon affiliate site I can promise you the majority of your competitors will not be using help from industry experts. When you feature these people though you are borrowing authority due to the power of association.

This is essential if you want to make sales! If your audience doesn’t trust what you say you are on to plums.
