Improve Your International Web Marketing
During the month of March, my eyes have been glued to the Counterize statistics for this blog. And specifically, the visitor statistics.
Now the month is not quite over, and I want to give you a screen shot of the graph I have been monitoring. But these results just keep climbing by the hour… so of course, I want to see where the counter will end tonight, to give you the results for the full month of March.
The one thing that is obvious is that the number of visitors to this blog increased dramatically. I am not sure where it will end tonight, but it is:
- Not that far from a 100% increase in the number of visitors this month compared to last month’s visitors.
Unfortunately I have a few business meetings in Paris tomorrow and cannot show you this month’s traffic results straight away. But look out for my post on Thursday. You will see why I have been so excited.
Now, as soon as I started seeing these results I wondered why.
- What is so different about this month? What happened?
Things You Learn From Books
This was a fairly easy question to answer.
- I have only done one thing differently this month. Just one.
I will let you in on part of the secret…
Some of you may have noticed the new list of “Resources” in the right sidebar. Well, I just added this list of resources to share with you after seeing these March results.
- One of the links there is to the “Book Reviews” I have done here on this blog.
Yes, the reason why the number of blog visitors increased this month is because I implemented one, just one, tip after reading one of these books.
Despite the great results I do feel rather stupid. You see, the book I read came out last year. I thought this book was only for beginners and not for people like me with a little more experience, so I kept putting it aside. Other books got on top of my reading list and I only got around to reading this particular book in February.
Details In Two Days
Don’t worry. Thursday I will give you the details on:
- The book I read
- The single tip I implemented in March
- The results this one tip has had on my blog readership
Free Copies Of This Book
Plus, I would like to share this book with you.
So I am working on a way to give away several copies of the same book. More about that on Thursday.
Put Good Advice Into Action
This book was an easy read. And I found it so motivating that I decided to take the time and implement just one tip from the book. As I said, I am not a beginner, but there were still several tips and bits of advice that I have not got around to implementing myself. I simply chose one of these tips.
This reminded me of the advice I have often heard before:
- When you read a book, only aim to take away 2 or 3 nuggets and use them. Take action. Do not try to take away everything from the book. Limit yourself… but do take action and implement them.
Of course, I understood the logic behind this. In today’s busy world, it is hard to keep up with all of the reading I would like to do. And sometimes it even appears harder to keep current and competitive. This bit of advice now resonates loudly with me and I will try to follow this more in the future.
Stay tuned for Thursday post… hopefully you will put this same tip into action and increase the number of visitors to your blog as much as I did in March.
And if you want to improve your web marketing, I will be giving away several copies of this same book… so you can read it and look for the nuggets you want to take away..
