We want you to get back to basics of how to find free untapped blog traffic & why Email Lists are essential for your business!
Since the start of the year, we’ve received numerous comments and emails from newbie bloggers and it all seems to boil down to why email lists, when I can drive traffic to my giveaways or whatever offers?
Most of you say you have blog subscription capture pages but have no clue what to do with them. And others even say, “I am not really selling anything on my blog so why bother with email lists?” The thing is many seem to spend a inordinate amount of time in Facebook groups sharing said blog posts and don’t know half of the Untapped free blog traffic sources available online. Now while we did a pretty great job with the original post on 5 free traffic sources heck its #1 on Google page 1 we know there is a heck more and thus here we go with more. And also we are sharing with you a powerful tutorial to answer the question “Why email lists?” Well our responce is: does your Business model look as below? You are Joe…
That’s Crappy…. and you know it! You started your blog and business to Live More. Not get tied down to another JOB, get seriously stressed doing everything and even consider the dreaded Q word…Quitting…Nooooo!

When we talk with our mentors and other professional bloggers, not driving targeted traffic, building an email list are the #1 & #2 mistakes they admit. So why is it that newbies continue to make these mistakes over and over?
- Because there is a false presumption that email marketing is dead!
- Because they have no clue where to find more free blog traffic!

I haven’t done any type of video marketing yet. I have asked around to my expert blogging friends about it, and they’ve all advised me that it’s more beneficial for me – at this particular point in my blog’s life – to focus on other areas. Pinterest is one of those areas and I have been working it hard.
Hi Cherri,
With all due respect to your bloggy friends. Video MArketing is the way to go if you wish to build rapport,trust and get more subscriptions faster. Every social media is showing you that video is the in thing, FB Live, Twitter Periscope, Youtube Livestreaming, Instagram Videos increasing to 60 secs, Snapchat hitting the spot and growing like a wild fire..you get the trend? your customers are on Video and waiting for your videos, Give them what they want!
