Traffic Secrets: A 30-Day Challenge to Increase Traffic

This is a sponsored post. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Long time, no read! I've been taking an extended break from blogging to regain inspiration, learn new skills, and transition to other endeavours using my prior experience. One of the transitional tools I've been using has been reading Russell Brunson's Traffic Secrets: The Underground Playbook for Filling Your Websites and Funnels with Your Dream Customers and participating in the 30-day Traffic Secrets Challenge on my Facebook page and Twitter. Keep reading for more about the book and my experience with the challenge!

You may be wondering who is Russell Brunson? He's a best-selling author & CEO of software company ClickFunnels. He has built a following of over a million entrepreneurs, sold hundreds of thousands of copies of his books and popularized the concept of sales funnels. In 2014, Russell and partner Todd Dickerson launched ClickFunnels, which became the fastest-growing non-venture backed software company in the world.

Brunson discovered that the biggest problem most entrepreneurs face is getting future consumers to discover they exist; not creating an amazing product or service. Every year, thousands of businesses start and fail because entrepreneurs don't understand the art and science of getting customers to find them. In this book Brunson reveals the classic and foundational marketing techniques that will allow anyone to be ahead of new trends and see opportunities that may be invisible to others. He shares how to master evergreen traffic strategies in order to fill your websites and funnels with your dream customers.

I started my blog in 2015 without doing any research on how to get traffic or finding an authentic audience that would connect with my content. As time went on it felt like I was creating decent content with quality photography, but it was almost like my blog didn't exist. If I had this book back then there's no doubt in my mind that I would have a successful blog or business.

Just because I don't have a product to sell (yet!) doesn't mean I didn't benefit from the knowledge Brunson has to offer. My experience with reading Brunson's book and participating in the challenge has been positive and has actually helped me tremendously. I was finally able to narrow down my focus for my blog and the businesses I want to start in the future. With the knowledge I've gained I feel like I'm able to reach my dream audience and customers without struggling. 

There's so much more involved in generating traffic to my website and possibly starting a successful business, but the tools I've learned from Russell's book and this challenge definitely make it easier. Identifying my dream audience and, more importantly, why I'm doing this guarantees I can create content that I'm passionate about and will drive traffic to my site.
