How to Drive Massive and Highly Engaged Traffic to Your Website
This article was originally published on November 5, 2020.
Get READY to drive Massive high-quality traffic to your blog (or website) that gets your audience saying YES to your offers.
**Make sure you share this article and save it for later**
One of the fastest ways to drive high-quality traffic and increase your website’s SEO is by getting media interviews. The media is significantly more effective than paid ads and social media because it’s more credible and trust-worthy.
And it makes you look like a Big Shot in your industry.
One of the enormous benefits of getting media interviews is that Google rewards you (and your website) when you have backlinks from reputable sources. Like media outlets, well-known blogs, and podcasts. The more backlinks you have to your website, the higher Google ranks you in their search engine when prospective buyers are searching for your freebies and offers.
This can drive massive organic traffic to your website, build your email list, and make you better, richer, faster with your blog and business!
Here’s what usually happens when you land an interview on a podcast or radio show.
Your interview and website links get posted on the podcast host’s website. Then they promote you on all their social media channels and to their email list. And, if you use this strategy, you can link even more traffic back to your website.
For example, when you get booked on a podcast, make sure you have a relevant article and lead magnet ready. This way their listeners WANT to go to your website.
Email *Secrets* to Quickly Grow Your Email List
Getting media interviews is a great way to grow your email list. Once you capture your visitors’ emails you can turn them into paying customers.
*For more email and list building *secrets* and a Beginner’s Guide to making money with emails download your FREE guide here.*
This makes you look like a hero to the show host. Because you are providing interesting and engaging content for their audience.
Which is a win/win for everyone.
Your podcast interviews then become evergreen. This means that your interviews can drive traffic to your website for years to come.
You know how when you get hooked on a series on Netflix? Or when you get hooked on a new podcast, you end up binge-listening to the entire series.
It’s the same thing for your potential customers!
That’s how you can quickly grow your business – by driving high-quality traffic to your blog or website.

How to Choose a Niche for Your Money Making Blog
There’s never been a better time to start your own blog. Now it’s time to choose your niche.
So you’ve decided to start your own freedom lifestyle blog and now you need to decide what your money-making website is going to be about.
Firstly, congratulations on taking action!
I’m super excited to help you on your journey to building your own business.
So you’ve been hearing about bloggers making a killing online by starting a blog. Working remotely from anywhere in the world – with only a laptop and an internet connection.
If this seems too good to be true…
I am here to tell you – it is possible! If you are serious about building an online business it will take time, effort, determination and most of all – you have to be willing to learn.
But if you do all the right things, you can build your own dream business. An online business can bring you a steady stream of income for life.
Since starting my own blog I have taken many twists and turns. I’ve had minor setbacks and big wins! But everything in life is a learning experience & sometimes your path takes you in directions you didn’t expect.
That’s called life. 🙂
That’s why it’s so important for you to choose the *right* niche now and why I wrote this article.
So you will make the best decision!
Choosing Your Niche should be fun! One of the most important things about starting a blog is choosing your niche. The more you can narrow down your niche, the more you can distinguish yourself from other blogs. You will be spending a lot of time on your blog. Continuously adding valuable content and learning how to make money blogging.
You want your blog to be interesting and enjoyable for your followers. So they keep coming back, reading your blog, and most importantly buying from you.
Choosing a Profitable Niche
There’s a common misconception about blogging, that if there are too many blogs in a certain niche it’s “oversaturated. Don’t worry about that.
It means there is a demand for it. It will, however, be more difficult to distinguish yourself from the crowd unless you come up with your Unique Selling Proposition (USP). It’s best to narrow your niche down as much as possible. Using your voice and your own personality will help you build your own loyal following.
A loyal tribe that relates to you. Making it way easier to grow and begin monetizing your blog.
When selecting your niche, choose a subject that you are knowledgeable about. Or have a deep interest in learning. You will be spending a lot of time learning and writing about your topic.
So Make Blogging Fun!
Your niche can be a hobby like gardening or sewing. Or it can involve your profession, like real estate or accounting. If you’re struggling to decide on a niche, try thinking of something you wouldn’t mind learning for a full year. You’ll be doing research to create great content. Make sure it’s something you want to learn.
Try this…
Imagine that you were given an opportunity. You have been chosen to live on a desert island. For one year, you must devote your life to learning about ONE thing. Money isn’t an object.
This is about what you are truly interested in learning. What topic would you choose?
Choosing a Unique Niche
If you choose a unique or uncommon niche, it will be easier for you to set yourself apart as the go-to expert in your field. As long as there is an audience or a demand for your products and/or services you will immediately set yourself up for success!
The first thing you should do is find the right audience, then study your market, and target them directly. I teach you all about this inside a FREE newsletter. You can download it below…
The most important thing is to enjoy what you are blogging about. Choosing a niche you are passionate about will help you create better content for your audience. You are also more likely to monetize your blog faster if you’re super excited about it.
If you have many interests and ideas like I do, begin by writing down the possibilities. Think longevity and happy blogging. Will your blog help solve a problem, entertain, or teach something of value?
If you choose something you know well, it will be considerably easier to get started. If you have several great ideas, start with one idea. Then once your blog is generating consistent income, you can always build another one.

How To Make Money With Emails
Try to imagine, waking up in the morning, you reach over to your nightstand and grab your phone. After you watch a couple of funny cat videos and check the weather, you check your email.
Your face lights up as you see how many sales came in the night before.
You sent out an email the day before and people on your email list are buying your products!
The first time I felt what it truly means to make passive income (through selling eBooks and online courses) was when I was having dinner with a friend. We were grilling steaks while enjoying a glass of crisp Sauvignon Blanc.
While the steaks were sizzling I quickly checked my email.
There it was, an email telling me that I had just made a sale. That is what making money with emails is like.
You can make money while working from home, while you’re out grocery shopping, and even while you are vacationing on the beach.
You can work from home or from anywhere.
Starting your own blog may seem like a pipe dream but I assure you it is a reality. You can earn a very lucrative living blogging from the comfort of your own home.
So if you are determined to live a life of freedom where you can work from anywhere with only a laptop and an internet connection you can succeed.
It will take some learning, some writing (it is a blog), and LOVE. Yes. I used the L-word. You need to fall in love with your business and helping people.
The coolest part is that you will experience things, and learn things you never thought you could possibly do. And believe me…
If I can do this – then so can you.
Follow this simple formula to start your own online business.
Now there are lots of ways you can do this but I don’t like to complicate things. That’s why I am showing you a simple formula.
- Build your blog or website.
- Decide who you want to serve (your market) then solve a problem or fulfill a desire they have.
- Build an email list of eager subscribers who desire what you are offering. (I show you how in the free guide you can download below).
- Then create products and services (eBooks, books, courses, coaching) that can help them fulfill their wants and needs.
- Master email marketing and then send emails to your list.
- Become a welcome guest in your email subscribers’ inbox by sending emails that are informative and entertaining.
- Send irresistible offers to your list.
All you need to get started is the right lead magnet to entice your ideal customers to join your email list. I teach you exactly how to do this inside my FREE guide to making money with emails.

There is Always Something to Be Thankful For
How to make Gratitude work for YOU to live more happily and freely.
When I’m not at my best or I’m feeling a little anxious, sad, lonely or worried There is one thing I do that works every time.
That my friend is practice gratitude. So I would like to share with you how you can use gratitude in your life.
To find more calm, peaceful happiness and pleasure in your life.
What I do is think of 3 things that I am grateful for. To demonstrate I will share 3 things I am grateful for right now.
Three things I am grateful for...
- I am grateful that my kids are healthy.

Because no matter how bad things may seem at times, there is ALWAYS something to be thankful for.
It all starts with a positive attitude.
So when times get tough, I stop and think to myself “What are 3 things I am grateful for right now?”
Then I either write them down, say them out loud, think them to myself or I text them to a friend.
Why 3 you ask?
Well, it works for me. I’ve tried journaling gratitude in the morning. Then in the evening. I’ve tried listing everything I am thankful for, which can eat up a LOT of your time.
That’s why 3 is my magic number.
Because it’s something I can do to easily. To shift my mindset from a distressed state to a state of gratitude. You can’t be in a state of anxiety, fear, sadness or depression when you are feeling grateful.

Could This Lead to the Best Year of Your Life?
This past week has been a whirlwind for me…
In the past couple of weeks, I have had some amazing opportunities come my way. And I realized that I haven’t shared with you the real *secret* to success in the online world.
You see, after struggling (when I first started my online bizness) I realized that the most important thing to succeeding, in a sea filled with online marketers, is making connections.
It’s ALL about making connections.
With people you can collaborate with, people who will tell all their friends about you, and people who want to work with you.
A couple of weeks ago I was asked to write a chapter in a book collaborating with 22 other successful entrepreneurs. One of which is an 8 time TEDx Talk speaker and an international best selling author.
This book that I am featured in, is Book 2 in an already best-selling book series.
Then, last week, I was asked to be featured in a brand new digital publication that has an expected reach of 125,000 people.
So how could I say no?
Which has left me a bit busy, to say the least.
But that’s not all…
Jennelle, who you might already know I am co-writing The 8 Faces of Freedom with, asked me to confirm that I will be there in December for her first TEDx Talk where I might actually meet Tony Robbins!
So yeah, this might just be one of the best years of my life.
Plus, this morning I reconnected with Shreya Banjeree. If you don’t know who Shreya is, she is a marketing specialist who works with big names like State Farm and Les Brown.
She has over 12 years of experience in the aerospace and power industry as a process engineer and lean leader for multi-billion dollar corporations.
She is Six Sigma certified as well as Google Ads certified and has many other qualifications.
But the best part about my introducing You to Shreya is that she is also the creator of the Affiliate Blogging Ninja course that I happen to own the PLR rights to.
This is the program that I went through that finally got me actually making money from my blog.
I learned so much from the 39 videos that show you *exactly* how to build your own website from scratch, create stunning videos, market yourself and drive traffic to your offers, and much, much, more…
Today I decided to bundle all 39 videos with my Build Your Own Money Making Website course and package it up for $297.
But today you can have it ALL for the low, low price of only $47.
Because I want YOU to make this your *best* year ever.
But there’s just one other thing you need to make your dreams a reality. You have to *believe* that you can do it. It’s not easy starting your own business.
But it is worth it.
And I believe that if you are reading this right now that you have what it takes.
So what do you think?
Could this lead to being your *best* year ever?
You’ll never know if you don’t try. And to MAKE SURE that you get started on the right track if you sign up today, not only will you get a HUGE savings on this special limited-time offer…
I am going to throw in a FREE strategy call with me personally.
We will meet for an hour (via a live Zoom meeting or call – your choice) and we will clarify your message, your brand, your target market, and your mission.
People pay me $300 an hour for these strategy sessions. So you will be saving $550 when you sign up today.
Once you sign up inside The Power of Writing Academy, you will gain FULL ACCESS to all the courses.
Then shoot me an email by replying to any of my emails or sending it to [email protected] and in the subject line put “Bonus Strategy Call.”
To get the $250 discount off of the course, use the coupon code “freedom.” The deadline for this offer is midnight on Tuesday, October 20th.

You say neesh, I say nitch, let’s call the whole thing off
On choosing your niche…
One of the most challenging things about starting an online business is choosing your niche. And how to pronounce it.
In Canada they say “neesh” and in the good ole’ USA they pronounce it “nitch.”
Or at least some folks like me…
Since English has always been one of my favorite subjects (making me like the grammar police) I had to find out which is correct. And drum roll, please…
Both pronunciations are correct.
So you say neesh, I say nitch. Let’s call the whole thing off.
Anyway, entrepreneurs like us come up with new ideas every day. It’s our “norm.” We can’t help it and it’s a good thing.
I can only imagine how many ideas Ray Kroc had before he made his fortune with McDonald’s. Did you know he was in his early 50’s when that “Big idea” struck him?
Yep. It’s never too late to change your niche. It’s never too late to shoot for the stars and the moon.
And everything else in between.
So if you’re struggling to choose your niche (for a new side hustle or a business idea) then you can read my article on choosing your niche here:
How to choose a niche for your money making blog.
If you’re ready to start your new “Big idea” then you might want to check out the resources inside the quick guide to starting your own online business.
You can take the express lane for your “Big idea” (and reach for the stars and moon) by clicking the link below:
Your “Big idea” partner in crime,
Irene (Kroc)
P.S.
I’m starting a new thing. Aren’t I always? I want to hear “something good” from anyone who has good news to share. If you have some kind of inspiring true story or a piece of good news to share, post it in the comments below. Or email me directly at [email protected].
Because we all could use a little good news right now. 🙂
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Read how one of my favorite movies can help you live the lifestyle you desire and deserve.
One of my favorite movies is the movie, “When Harry Met Sally.” Especially the scene where she fakes a well “you know.”
But just like their relationship took time, patience and the right realization (as in what you really want out of life) it goes the same with building an online business.
It is not a get rich quick scheme. It takes time, patience, a LOT of learning and really knowing what you want out of life.
Time, freedom, uncapped earning potential…
That can help you get anything and everything you want in life.
Another lesson is the urgency Sally created at the end of the movie. She was fed up with Harry and stopped playing his silly games. It was pretty much now or never.
Just as he was about to lose her – he finally takes the leap! And they live happily ever after. We assume anyway since the movie ends with them talking about their wedding and the decadent coconut cake with chocolate sauce.
On the side.
One of the ways to make sales online (or via your email list) is to create urgency. You can’t fake urgency though (like she faked the orgasm) Well you quite easily can. But in the long run, you will lose trust with your email subscribers and they won’t buy from you.
Admittedly, I have been “nice” in the past and extended sales deadlines. I didn’t fake it. I simply changed my mind. It still isn’t really a good idea though.
Which I have learned the hard way.
In reality, you aren’t helping people at all. If they don’t buy the products that will solve their problems.
This urgency I speak of is important because sometimes it takes that push and urgency to get someone off the fence. So they begin to actually use and apply something you are selling that can benefit them.
It seems strange I know.
But it all is quite simple. Find a starving crowd (as in a market) who has a problem. Then create something that will solve their problem. Then sell it to them.
I have only been in the “online” space for a short time and I am still learning. However, my 25 plus years of actual face to face selling applies just the same.
It’s all about selling the benefits, building excitement and getting your perfect avatar (customer) to say “Yes! Yes! Yes!”
To get you off the fence. so you can begin living the lifestyle you desire and deserve I have put the “Build Your Own Money Making Website” program on sale.
And I have created “real life” urgency. It is only on sale until midnight tonight. ET.
After that, the price goes from this steal of a price (only $49) to $97. So it is a $50 savings. Almost…
Plus I threw in bonuses (another selling tactic) to sweeten the deal. C’mon you know you love it when the big shampoo bottle says “20% more FREE.”
Who doesn’t love bonuses?
I added the Pinterest Viral Pin Strategy so you can drive massive traffic to your website. I show you how to build a following fast. Even if you’ve never used Pinterest. It is the exact method I used to go from 4,000 monthly views to over 45,000 in only ONE WEEK.
I also threw in the 28-page newsletter that shows you exactly how to build your own thriving list of email subscribers who will buy from you (once you build their trust) for years to come.
To grab your savings now say “Yes! Yes!” Yes!” to the link below:
I am ready to jump off the fence and say “Yes!”
That’s it. Have an amazing Sunday.

5 Things You Should Know Before Starting a Blog
This a re-post with changes from a different article. It is the Introduction from the book “5 Things You Should Know Before Starting a Blog.” You can download a free copy below.
Discover 5 things every Entrepreneur should know about starting a blog or business. Even if you already own your own business or are just starting out. Keep reading to learn 5 things I share from my 25+ years in sales and marketing and owning a business.
Including a *secret* Marketing Tip that can make any product fly off the shelves. This one thing can work for any product in any type of business.
When owning a business you are always keeping up with the latest technology. Constantly looking to keep up a steady stream of incoming business. Which is why I want to talk a little about blogging. Blogging is a business tool that can be used to grow your business, build a relationship with your customers (or clients) and increase sales. It can also be used as a business platform in itself, as an online business. This type of online business is called a Blog or a Money Making Website.
Whether you’ve thought of starting a blog or not, the information in this book can apply to just about any type of business.
If you have thought about starting a blog, either as your business or to enhance it, then here are a couple reasons you should. One, to build trust with you target market by solving a problem. In the form of relevant information. Secondly, to help you create business that will bring you wealth, happiness and freedom.
You can use it to sell products online. In the form of eBooks, courses, services, physical products or affiliate products related to your industry. If you are new to the online world, you might be thinking, why would someone want to buy information online.
When you can find just about any information for free on the internet?
It’s true that there is a lot of free information on the internet. But how much of the stuff you’re finding is accurate information? In fact, the internet is filled with so much information that you often don’t know what to believe. Or who to trust. Making it even more important to find good information. That most people are willing to pay for. Especially if it solves an immediate need.
Why You Should Start a Blog.
You are unique. You are the only person who can share your personal experiences. Making you irreplaceable and extremely valuable. A common fear among new bloggers and business owners is what if no one will buy my products. Especially if you are just starting out or if your industry is saturated with competition. Established business owners already throwing around social proof and income statements like confetti.
Here’s the thing. People don’t necessarily buy your products or services.
What people are buying is you.
Because they can relate to you and your past experiences. You have the knowledge and the resources to help them solve a problem. Which brings up a good point. Why you should share personal stories. It creates a level of intimacy. Your readers and followers connect with you. They begin to feel like they know you which builds trust.
If they trust you, they are more likely to buy from you.
Which is why blogging is so effective and how you can use it to grow your business. By sharing what you know, along with your unique life experiences. Then using them to help people solve a problem.
The famous motivational speaker, Zig Ziglar said, “You can have everything in life you want, if you can just help other people get what they want.”
Which is why I wrote this book. To help you succeed.
Helping people makes me happy.
Isn’t that what it’s all about? Being happy?
One of my richest life experiences was when I volunteered for the Disaster Action Team for the American Red Cross. For four years I devoted my free time to aiding families in need of food, shelter and clothing.
There were challenges, like there are with everything in life.
The many appreciative people who thanked me profusely for my help, made it worth it. Just like it is with owning a business. Despite the challenges your overall experience should be rewarding.
The rewards of having more money, time and flexibility.
When you are spending your time building your own business, it doesn’t feel like work. Especially if you are in the right business. When your business is about something you care about, it becomes fun.
Building a business is not easy. At least not for most of us.
You need to constantly promote your business, create great content, products and services. Learn how to monetize your blog and most of all you cannot quit.
You Can Succeed.
I will honestly tell you that if you are going to give up when things get tough, you might want to save yourself the trouble.
If you haven’t realized it, I already shared three of the things every business owner should know.
The first One is that owning a business is tougher than you would expect. Even if things are going great with your business now. Anything can happen. Prepare yourself for the unexpected and don’t give up.
You cannot quit if you want to be successful.
Two is that you can everything you want in life, if you help as many people as possible get what they want.
