Driving targeted traffic to websites in order to make money is probably the most challenging part of running online business. There are hundreds of eBooks and numerous coaching programs available on the web that teach different methods to drive quality visitors. One such program is Traffic Omega.

Earlier this week, I was driving down the road with my family and we saw this chicken on the berm. Suddenly, I realized that it was about to cross the road. I had an opportunity to answer one of mankind’s biggest quandaries, like the time I planted those cameras in the forest to see what happens when a tree falls and nobody is around to hear it. “Why do you think that chicken is crossing the road?” I asked my wife, Robin. “I want to go back and see what he’s up to.” “You’re going to hit that mailbox,” Robin said. So I swerved, and in the ensuing confusion, I forgot all about the chicken. So yes, I blew our chance… but I think I know the answer. He probably dropped his iPhone on the other side, and was crossing so he could catch up on this week’s Copyblogger posts. This one is for all you metaphysical chickens out there with lost smartphones. Here’s what happened: Monday: 17 Easy Steps to Brilliant Blog Posts I like what Jill Chivers did here with this post, because sometimes we’ll see “3 keys for this” or “5 ways to do this,” but rarely do we venture above 10. (Unless it’s a “101 ways” post, but that’s as cliched as ending the price of your product in a 7 — something I would never, ever, ever do, except for last week.) So we don’t just get a chincy 5 or 6 steps to brilliant blog posts here. We’ve got SEVENTEEN steps. Seventeen juicy ways to make your posts sparkle and sizzle. And this isn’t Ivory Tower gospel either, coming from some jaded old blogger who lives in Texas and is into Mitch Hedberg and William Gibson. It’s coming from a gal who is a student of blogging, learning as she goes. Which makes it even more useful. Speaking of seventeen, remember that Winger song called “Seventeen”? It went like, Her daddy says she’s too young… but she’s old enough for me! I wonder if those guys are out of prison yet. Read the full post here . Monday, part deux: Gravity Forms Review: Powerful WordPress Forms Made Simple No joke here… Gravity Forms provides the quickest, easiest, and most powerful to collect all sorts of information on your WordPress site. You can even enable people to submit guest posts and create user-generated content for your site. But what you really need to know if that until the end of Sunday, May 9, 2010, you can use the super-secret code contained in Brian’s review and get 1) 25% off, 2) lifetime support, and 3) lifetime updates. Hurry up and read the review here before the joke’s on you for missing this deal. Tuesday: The Myth of Beautiful Website Design Aaaaaaand it’s official: With one little blog post, Pamela Wilson has totally squashed my plan to remove all substance from my business and bluff my way to billionnairehood by filling my site with lollipops and rainbows. Thanks a lot, Pamela. Ever hear the old expression “You can’t put makeup on a pig, because pigs don’t like it and doing so will make PETA put pipe bombs under your hot dog carts”? Yeah, me either. But you should probably fix your offer and improve your content before you focus on finding a web font that truly completes you. Read the full post here . Wednesday: Why You Shouldn’t Write for Other Writers First, I write about personality marketing for tailors here on Copyblogger. Then I get a call from bespoke tailor Martin Stall in Spain, who makes beautiful suits and wants my help to attract buyers. And now Hugh McLeod is on Copyblogger, writing about tailors who blog in order to sell suits. Hugh’s point is simple: Are you writing for other writers, or are you writing for the people who will buy your stuff? Because writing to impress creative directors probably isn’t going to get you any more money. It’ll just get you more enmeshed with the tailoring industry. If you want to actually sell more stuff, you definitely need to read this one. Just don’t try to become yet another blogging tailor. The market is apparently totally saturated. Read the full post here . Thursday: How to Sell Without a Sales Pitch This post by James Chartrand is a “must” for Third Tribe marketers . Remember, sales isn’t about pushing a product so much as it’s about matching a problem with a solution. Raising awareness of that problem and solution is a great way to sell without pushing, and James has tips on how to do that. And actually, the kids in the lemonade stand at the top of this post are very Third Tribe. They’re doing it right. They’re selling a solution to the problem of thirst, while relieving the inherent guilt that comes with snubbing cute little kids on a hot day. Smart marketing, boys. I just hope they don’t get complacent, because that’s the way for any Mom and Pop shop to get subverted by Big Lemonade. They should dress it up a little. Those kids could go far if they were decked out like ZZ Top and had those hot chicks from the videos leaning against the stand. I’d pay a dollar to see that. Read the full post here . Friday: Beyond Motivation: Getting to What Really Drives You I was just thinking about this concept today. I totally believe that the #1 key to success is persistence , and the truth is that you’ll persist automatically if you’re motivated enough, and if you don’t just fold under the pressure. This post by Steve Errey is all about how to find your motivation and keep it stoked. (And by the way, that’s “stoked” like how you’d “stoke” a fire — i.e. prodding it and adding wood to keep it burning. I’m not talking about how a kid outside of 7-11 might talk about being “stoked” to skate the half pipe later… which actually doesn’t make sense because said excited skaters are seldom on fire. Although that would make for a totally rad trick now that I think about it.) Anyway, Steve Errey has packed this post with ways to stay motivated, and therefore persist, and therefore succeed, and therefore end up living in Hawaii with bikini girls. Or Spandex guys. Or many, many squirrels. But never gnomes. Read the full post here . About the Author: Johnny B. Truant has a dumb blog at JohnnyBTruant.com and is one of the guys behind Question the Rules . You should also really check out his Jam Sessions with Charlie Gilkey, because they’re filled with tasty informational nuggets that will make your business better.

I blogcrastinated (see Tuesday’s post below) on writing this for a long time because I’ve been busy perfecting the my Rock Band drumming. Nobody warns you about the time-suck danger that Wii holds for the self-employed. I only got down to it and wrote these summaries for you when, somewhere between some kick-butt drumming for The Donnas and Bikini Kill, my 5-year-old son came in and told me to turn the music down. Man, as soon as I graduate, I am so out of here. Anyway, here’s what happened this week on Copyblogger: Monday: The Mercenary’s Guide to Building Your Internet Marketing Empire There’s a really cool knife in this post’s photo, so you should without a doubt read the post or that knife may kill you. (I got a knife like it once, after I saw the first Rambo movie. To date, I have killed no boars or communists with it. But I still like to read about marketing, just like Rambo.) Be like Nathanbo. Jump off cliffs and make things explode (with profit). You can have it all by reading the full post here . P.S: Rambo wasn’t in it for profit. He was in it for justice. Just so we’re clear. Tuesday: 5 Warning Signs You Might be a Blogcrastinator I keep trying to blogcrastinate with these wrapups, but I’m apparently doing it wrong. Just last week, I sent Brian my review for the week of December 10, 2008 and he made me go back and do it for the week immediately prior instead. This despite my argument that while people might remember last week’s posts, probably nobody was thinking about the ones that ran on 12/10-14 of ‘08. Luckily, Michelle Russell has five symptoms that will smack blogcrastinators back to December of ‘08 and help them get on the right track again. Read the full post here . Wednesday: 5 Dumb Design Mistakes That Crush Copy (And How to Fix Them) Pamela Wilson deserves an “Amen, sister!” for this post because it’s so spot on. See, there are two types of people in the world: copy people and design people. (That’s right — there are literally no other kinds of people in the world.) Copy people think that only the words themselves matter. And design people wear black berets and smoke clove cigarettes. Think about it. Definitely take a look through Pamela’s list of dumb mistakes to see if you’re making them. Also, definitely get a black beret. Read the full post here . Thursday: How to Master Social Media Marketing This post is all about the Social Media Success Summit, where Brian and several of his partners in crime will be presenting. You should check it out because if you go, you’ll basically end up being like Superman if he were on Twitter. He isn’t, but if he were, he’d be all: using my x-ray vision down at the dept store dressing rooms if you know what I mean LOL Read the full post here . Friday: Three Lively Blogging Debates to Explore in 2010 On Friday, James Chartrand threw some gasoline onto the fire of nerd combat by enumerating three blogging debates that are likely to sprain many a typing finger in 2010. So hike up your suspenders, consult your monster manuals, and weigh in, folks. The web is only going to get more sports-related if we don’t voice our opinions. (Isn’t it interesting that thanks to the internet, the old maxim has come true? The geeks really have inherited the earth.) Check out all of the nerd fight action here . About the Author: Johnny B. Truant is one of the creators of “ Question the Rules : The nonconformist’s punk rock, DIY, nuts-and-bolts guide to creating the business and life you really want, starting with what you already have” — an awesome new course which will launch on April 28th.
