10 Tips You Should Know When Buying a Car
1. You should buy a new car near Christmas time because of Christmas presents. as not many people want to buy a new car, and it forces dealerships to increase their sales plans. Salesmen are more eager to bargain to your prices to finalize the transaction.
2. You can also make a good purchase from July to October because at that time dealers are endeavoring to sell all their stock to make space for the new models.
3. To purchase a car online is becoming a great way to obtain a new car. Only wait for good deductions and concessions online and shop around. Print out your information from the best quotations and take them to the dealer for your choice. To bring lower quotes from another company might be your best expectation in getting a good transaction.

What Happens When You Blog For 5 Straight Weeks?
The guys over @ Tresnic Media, a NJ online marketing company, did an intriguing case study on the frequency of blog publishing.
I first heard about it from Ryan. You can read the results and learn more about their findings here.
The challenge was to measure the growth in traffic (and business) over a period of 25 business days of straight content publishing.
The solution: writing and publishing 50 blog articles on their website, twice a day. That’s 10 articles a week.
“I can honestly say that at no point throughout the five weeks did I feel a stress on myself for a deadline or fear of missing a day. How was this possible? By having a solid blogging plan and efficient routine and multiple sources of content inspiration”, says Todd Giannattasio.
This post is written by John Gibb about Aggressive Blogging – A case study. He explain how blogging twice a day can be a powerful content strategy to uplift your blog to the next level
It was really an aggressive blogging strategy!
Traffic results after blogging twice a day:
- Website Traffic Increase (overall traffic): 481%
- Search Traffic Increase: 427%
- Referral Traffic Increase: 440%
- Direct Traffic Increase: 570%
- 50th post went viral.
Business growth results:
In Todd’s own words…
“The first way we generated leads was that people found TresnicMedia.com via a Google search for one of the almost 500 keywords that we’re now ranking for.
Another was via LinkedIn Discussions where we highlighted certain tactics (SEO or lead generation) in an article and people were interested in learning more about how we can help…
… But the best, and my personal favorite, once post #50 went viral, people started calling ready to hire us to do what they saw we did for ourselves. This is a brand new position for me, where the customer is no longer looking for a service and wants me to sell to them. But they are actually calling to hire us because they already know we can deliver results. It is a great feeling and well worth all of the time and effort put into this blogging experiment.”
How does aggressive blogging apply to you?
To me, blogging more often as a way to grow traffic was an instinctive strategy. After reading reports like the above and seeing the type of results others were getting, I knew I was onto something big. So I went ahead, refined my aggressive blogging strategy and created a crazy plan.
I am now at war and we (I and my partner) are on a mission to write and publish (with the help of my partner) 30 guest posts a month (each and every month) on other people’s sites. Within a year I’ll have 365 unique articles back-linking to my home page and different posts/urls on my blog.
That’s not all… I will also write 30 articles per month for my HWA blog (which is the core source of generating traffic and leads). Plus, I submit 200 premium comments a month as well. Within a year, I’ll have an additional 365 links from relevant sites and more importantly, a whopping 2,400 premium comments, sitting on other people’s blogs.
These comments often look like mini articles, and provide real value to readers. They aren’t one line or small blurbs written just to steal a back-link in return.
How to blog often and with passion, like never before
“Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow.” ~ Anthony J. D’Angelo
If you want to grow your site traffic, you cannot expect miracles. The reality is you have to get up and work like mad. Turn your company/marketing team/yourself into a 24/7 premium content factory. Be the Google replica in your industry. Start your aggressive blogging journey!
Finding new ideas is EASY!
You don’t have to rely on Amazon or online blogs alone, although these two methods could bring you mountains of cool and practical ideas.
I’ve once seen an article that reads…
What a great title and concept I’ve said to myself. And I started to create similar content myself.
Example:
You can replace “lessons” with “tips” or “techniques” and take over the web with this concept alone.
Smart, isn’t it?
Here’s another way to find remarkable and proven content ideas: browsing through local magazines and newspapers… it’s a method that most people are often overlooking or ignorantly neglecting.
Editors and journalists are always looking for the latest trends and red-hot topics to cover in their writing. They’re doing the heavy research for you. Blog on the same (or similar) topics if they’re relevant to your niche, and if not, MAKE them relevant.
How to make boring topics hot, and leave your competitors behind
You can connect two unrelated things into something new and relevant to your audience. Like how I did with social media and Donald Trump.
You can also turn boring ideas into hot topics. Your imagination is the only limit. Example:
“There are no boring topics, only boring content creators”. ~ Pratik Dholakiya.
Want to expand and enrich your imagination? There’s a single way: read and learn. Study novels. Watch movies. Read cartoons and illustrations. Buy the latest shopping, tech and travel magazines. All of this is fun and enjoyable anyhow! While I’m playing on my I pad for example, I’m still learning. Now is the generation where we an play and learn at the same time!
The more you read and study beyond your industry, the better and more often you’ll be blogging, with a twist. That’s what will set you apart and zip you miles away from competitors.
The question is: do you gave the guts to aggressive blogging? To blog twice a day or let competitors out-score and out-profit you?
8 Things To Do When Your Writer Quits
Before we begin, let’s set the record straight. If you are a webmaster or ecommerce website ownerwho cannot write… you need a good content writer. There are some very talented people out there that write wonderful content
And to keep the balance of the force, there are also some unscrupulous writers that will take your money (usually upfront) through less than dignified means then disappear into the vastness of the World Wide Web. With that said, once you find a talented freelance content writer, hold onto him or her as if they were the last one on the planet.
The good ones are either booked solid for months or have moved on to more gainful endeavors. Even talented content writers you can keep do not remain content writers forever. Just like everything else in life, if someone is good at something, other opportunities will open for them to expand and broaden their horizons.
Woes Of The Site Owner
Unfortunately, you as a site owner have little to no control over when your writer needs to take leave, and it’s almost always in some of the worst scenarios possible. You may be in the middle of a huge marketing or branding campaign that just took off, or you might have a large boost in readership in your blog and require a steady in-flow of content, next few week’s worth.
"I’m leaving for greener pastures" is the last and worst possible thing you could hear at this precise moment. So what do you do?
8 Things To Do Instead Of Panicking
1. Take Affirmative Action
As the Master and Commander of your ship, it’s time to take charge. Whatever you do, let it not be panic. Panic, at this point, would not only be counterproductive, it makes things that much worse. It is not the end of the world until the deadline, which means there is still time before the iceberg hits the ship.
If you are in panic mode, get a hold of yourself, then:
2. Hot Off The Press
New content writers are pouring onto the Internet each day and the demand is still higher than the supply. The US Labor Statistics department tells us that at least 14 million Americans were self employed in 2012. If even a small percentage of that is in content writing, (And it is) there is one out there for you.
Just stop worrying about getting one and go get one. Just be careful how you go about it. Weeding out the bad from the good is a delicate process.
3. You May Already Have A Replacement
Don’t have time to engage someone you can’t risk trusting? Have you spoken to your team or family lately then? Perhaps a friend in the writing business? You will be surprised at how many people you know that write or know someone who writes, dreams of writing, or are pursuing it already.
And you can get an inside look into the personality of new writer, if he or she is someone you can bank on for steady content, right from the horse’s mouth.
4. Go Social
Or you can go social with it. LinkedIn.com is the premier website for getting the word out when it comes to Business to Customer or Business to Business marketing as well as a wonderful brand recognition opportunity. One good content writer and six social media websites can create more buzz about your website than two dozen magazine ads. On LinkedIn, content writers abound.
5. Be My Guest
Guest posting is something that comes in handy from time to time. Put out a call for guest posts. Usually, all the guest blogger wants in return is a link in the content, and another link or two in their bio. Some guest bloggers earn for their submissions but for what it’s worth, you get good content at half the time it takes to find a long term replacement for your writer.
6. Editors Are Worth Their Weight In Gold
If you own an ecommerce website and blog, hiring an editor is a fantastic way to increase your ROI. They will not only ensure your readers see what they need to see, when they need to see it, they also edit the work of your content writers, and can even replace them temporarily. Just make sure not to take advantage of the editor’s writing skills too often.
7. Draw Ideas From The Web
The Internet is a wondrous place. It is filled with all kinds of information on just about every subject you could possibly imagine... including you and your ecommerce endeavors. If your content writer disappears, there is plenty of material on the Internet to pursue and from which to draw ideas.
Don’t however fall into the trap of copying content at liberty. Original content is still gold even in desperate times.
8. Unleash The Writer In You
Have you tried to write your own content? If anyone knows what kind if content you want, it is you. You may not write the best content in the world, but I can guarantee it will not be the worst either. In fact, you may write better than some freelance content writers out there, because no one knows what your readers want better than you.
The End Result
The point of all this is really much simpler than 8 reasons not to panic and how to help yourself. If you panic; nothing gets done. If you need a content writer, do not rush into anything. Take your time and find the one that is right for you. In the meanwhile, follow these simple tips to get through the rough patch and always keep your chin up.
