Marketers constantly try to sell something, especially online, and they frequently like to sell stuff to OTHER MARKETERS. I am sure you’ve seen those offers on your journey to make money blogging, right?
“Make a Gazillion Dollars Overnight!”
“The Secret Strategy To Get You So Much Money You Won’t Have To Buy Toilet Paper Ever Again!”
“This Technique Made Me $3,000 Today and All I Did Was Sitting On The Couch, Scratching My Butt!”
Of course, the above examples are just funny headlines I’ve made up, but you get the point. Marketers sell stuff to other marketers, and they don’t do that to help you (at least not all of them), they don’t do that to make your life easier, they do that to…
Yes! They Do that to Make Money !
That’s why they take something that’s in fact very simple and easy, complicate it, call it something and sell it as the next best thing, so let me say something to you…
It’s All About Traffic and Conversions !
It really doesn’t matter what you call those super fancy techniques, it doesn’t matter how you complicate things, when you’re striving to make money blogging, you really need just two things:
- Traffic and…
- conversions
That’s it.
Now, once you have traffic, once you have people coming to your site, all you need to do is test and track your marketing to see what results you’re getting.
You Have to Optimize !
Now, after your blog has been optimized, it’ll bring you money, and all you have to do is increase the traffic to make more. Easy, ey? Remember…
It’s All About Traffic and Conversions !
Now, I am not saying that buying a course on how to make money every now and again is not beneficial or can’t be profitable, but the one thing to do when you buy a course or a program is see how it can help you with… sing it with me…
Your Traffic and Your Conversions !
That’s really all you have to focus on to succeed. I mean, this might seem like something that’s just too easy, but that’s really all there’s to it. Now, after your conversions and your traffic are at the levels you want them to be at, what you can do is sell the site, start a new one, keep it to make you constant, residual income, or do whatever you want, really.
The Choice is Yours !
The great thing is that once you have a site that makes money, it really isn’t hard to make more, because you have an asset that you can use in your marketing, but that’s something for a completely different post. The important thing is that no matter what you read or what people tell you about how to make money blogging, it really is very, very simple, so don’t buy into all the hype going around. You’re better off without it. Just focus on the two things I’ve told you about above and you’ll do…
Splendidly well !
Stay Focus,

I got to say you are partly right, yes we can say traffic is key… but the conversion part of it… needed “content” in order to covert those traffic to money…

Well said, so many ppl overcomplicate what it takes to make money online. But it’s very easy as you said, at least the concept is easy.. the execution may be harder than it seems with all the flux that happens with Google.

Well said. Any online business should be paying attention to those two things. Traffic and Conversion. I have seen many people bragging about their traffic, but what is it if it does not convert, right. Getting traffic is obviously difficult but focus should really be on those “targeted quality” traffic which are the ones that convert and consequently, bring you profit.
BTW, tks for the Mogul’s link. Appreciate it.

I agree on that 100%! For me, traffic is the climax and conversion is the happy ending – just like in fairy tales! Bloggers should focus on these two items because these can be a guide to their success. This post is brief and direct to the point. This would give them an inspiration to boost up!
Thanks for reading my post, and yes, traffic is the climax and conversion is the happy ending… nice words…
