They say that driving traffic to your MLM websites is the biggest key towards dominating the market. This statement holds a lot of weight as lead generation and building your names list are the lifeline of your network marketing business.

But what happens if you do not have enough existing traffic? What if your blog is virtually dead or your mailing list is smaller than other people’s downlines? How do you get a jump start and get ahead of all the other traffic buyers especially if you do not have money to pay for expensive banner advertising or Google AdWords?

The answer is in the following.

Submitting quality content to websites!

Submission is one of the single, most important ways to leverage on high traffic user generated websites and targeted enough to draw in large crowds of network marketing prospects. It’s sort of like a mouse, riding on the shoulders of an elephant moving at fast speed!

The theory works well because…

Google considers these sites as high authority sites and getting good quality back links from sites like Ezine articles will give you a huge boost in search engine rankings and hence, more traffic.

You can leverage on the traffic on those sites and by sorting through the right categories, you will get the right kind of traffic.

You also get viral traffic when people like your content and they republish it or they share it with their friends through emails.

So what are the different types of content you can submit to and get traffic?

There are Articles (written content about 250 – 600 words).

Audio recordings (you can read out an article or a transcript and submit them to podcast sites)
Video sites (YouTube, Viddler, Metacafe and many other sites accept video recordings… you can record yourself or use Power Point to make one).

You can compile all your articles into an E-book or a special report and submit them to E-book sites (you can also give the book Master Resell Rights or Private Label Rights and watch the book go viral).

RSS submission (you can submit your blogs to lots of RSS sites and pick up traffic)
Blog directory submission (submit your blogs to sites like Blog Catalog and Blogflux)
You can also submit your sites to Social Bookmarking sites like Digg, Stumble Upon, Mixx, Mister Wong, Reddit and many more).

Finally, you can also submit your content to Facebook and other Social Networking sites and build a community.

Make sure you submit to as many sites as possible and do it as consistently as possible.

MLM blogs are one of the most important marketing tools you can use to promote your network marketing business or your opportunity.

Some of the advantages of blogging include picking up traffic from the search engines, blog traffic exchanges, people keying in your name with a dot com at the end and even from RSS subscriptions.

But one of the biggest keys towards picking up and maximizing your traffic is to optimize your blog titles and post titles for your MLM blogs. The title serves many different functions
It gets your blog post appearing on Google, Yahoo! and MSN for the right kind of keywords … keywords that prospects are looking for.

It also gets picked up by blog syndications and networks giving you another source of traffic and blog readers.

It attracts readers to look at your blog post. With millions of new blog posts coming up each day and a new blog being created every few seconds, you have to be savvy when it comes to creating a post title that will not only attract the attention of your readers, but will also give them a compelling reason to read the post all the way to the end.

So how should you optimize your blog titles? Here are a few pointers:

How to… Everybody wants to know how to get more money, get something done, court the right girl, find the right solutions, etc. If you can provide solutions, the ‘how to’ line will always strike a chord.

Swing Golf Like Tiger Woods… actually, not just Tiger Woods, it could be bend it like Beckham, or get rich like Warren Buffet, Donald Trump, Bill Gates or even the Sultan of Brunei! Either way, if you can do something like the superstar, it will be a very good blog title because everyone wants to do something word class.

If you start your blog post with “what you ought to know” about something, you are leveraging on someone’s curiosity and it is really effective because nobody likes the feeling of not knowing something important or feeling left out.

Use this… here is a quick way to get something done. This is a very good line too because people like to get things done really fast.

Another useful strategy… using part 1, part 2, part etc… when you break your blog posts into separate parts, it gives people a compelling reason to come back more and more. As long as you ‘exercise’ your readers, you are making them more responsive to your offers and your opportunities.

I just quickly wanted to share this idea with you. As you work on building your blog remember that it serves as your homebase. It is the place where your interested readers can come and get information about a topic in various ways.

Your blog reflects you and your tastes, ideas and likes/dislikes. It is a place for you to share what you want, talk about what you want and give what you want. If there are others who vibe with you well, they will take a liking to your offering. Don’t be overly concerned with those who don’t!

Take content you have created such as your articles and post them to your blog. Take your videos and post them to your blog. Post other people’s stuff to your blog too, afterall, you must find content besides your own useful right? I certainly do.

Add some color and some pizazz to your blog. Like my favorite color is red, so you seen that color tone throughout my blog. My banner is a personalized banner that was created by my friend Barbie Figeuroa. (If you need a banner done, find her on twitter at http://www.twitter.com/barbiefigueroa and hit her up..she is awesome!) Take the affiliate programs that you promote, or at least some of them and add them to your blog for monetization. Be sure to add a cool signature line (you can see how to do that in a previous post). If you’ve noticed, I’ve even added an audio to my blog so people who have never heard my voice before can listen to me in an attempt to share more of the real me with them.

All in all, just go for it. Start with the layout of your choice and go from there. It won’t all come together at once, I would be lying if I said it did for me…it didn’t! I screwed up this doggone blog a trillion times before I got it “right” which is just a matter of personal like and taste. Put yours out there and start blogging. Tweak as you feel the need to. It’s yours so you can change it as much or as often as you like. You are in control!
