How to Get More Traffic to Your Blog By Sharing Free Reports

by Adrienne Smith on March 21, 2011

in Online Tools

In my last post I shared with you the list I created of the 42 blogs that I visit on a regular basis.  Blog commenting is not only about building traffic to your site, but it’s also about learning new things and building relationships.  Of course it helps if you visit blogs that will return the favor and also visit yours and comment as well.

So I created a free report titled “42 Blogs Worth Mentioning” and gave my readers a very easy way to grab this report.  All they had to do was send a tweet on Twitter or post it on Facebook.  Want to know how I set that up?  Well watch this video and I’ll show you how.

Enjoy!

If you enjoyed this post, please share it with your friends!

Hi Adrienne
That looks pretty simple to me. I have just downloaded my copy, but I am still struggling getting through Brankica’s 140 blogs :-) Well I guess I never can have too many blog links anyway.

Hey Thomas,

Brankica, Elise and I took on a challenge when she posted her list. We were to visit all 140 in 3 days. I failed miserably but I was able to make it to 87 on the list. I was worn out by the time the 3rd day rolled around. But I still visited all of them and have some new favorites too. It’s fun though to visit new blogs and see what others are chatting about. I know you are enjoying this even if it takes you awhile. At least you now have a couple of really great lists.

Thanks Thomas, always good to see you.

I just love lists. It makes things much easier I think. I have already visited a lot of the links on your list. Some of them were also on Briankica’s list but there was also a couple of new blogs for me :-)
Thank you for the list Adrienne

Thanks Thomas, I love lists too. Especially when they have a lot of really great info on them. :-) Sounds like Brankica and I are on the same page a lot. Guess that’s why I like her so much.

Have fun my friend.

Hey Adrienne, love the video.

Just wanted to tell you that iFrames are stripped from WordPress and I actually had to install a plugin that allowed me to add iFrames. I believe it can also be done in WP code but I didn’t want to mess with it.

Thanks Brankica… Well, I just created a trusty old share button myself and then linked it to their site but that’s really good to know since I already know a couple of ladies that will be giving this a shot on their blog. I was frustrated at first but I got around it. You can’t keep me down for long!

Appreciate this info. Should we just go to Google and search for wordpress plug-in for iFrames or do you have a particular one you would suggest? Always appreciate the input.

Thank girl.

Thanks Phil. I did have a problem getting the iFrame coding and then Brankica shared with me later that it’s not compatible with WordPress. There is a plug-in for that but I just created my own. Heck, if I can do it then anyone can because I’m no techie at all. Pretty simple to do actually.

Have fun!

The main advantage of sharing free reports is to influence people and show much authority you have on that niche
