Hi, I’m Verena!
For years, I’ve been the blog design gal – the go to lady when it comes to designing blogs.
I started designing WordPress blogs for marketers in 2010.
My team is currently the most popular blog design team on the Warrior Forum, having served the marketing needs of countless happy customers.
Through the years, the question we are asked the most often by our clients is how do they get traffic to their blogs.
When we complete blogs for our customers, we normally show them the right methods of attracting sustainable traffic to their blogs.
It’s interesting to note that there’s no shortage of both free and paid content all over the Internet that teaches web traffic generation.
So if you really think about it, it’s really not as hard to start driving traffic to a new blog as people would have you believe.
But still they fail miserably at it…
In the beginning, most of our customers could not drive a decent amount of traffic to their blogs no matter how hard they tried.
And the worst part?
It wasn’t their fault!
They were applying all the methods that we showed them. Some even purchased $1000+ courses from gurus and applied the latest SEO tactics they learned from them.
Yet still, things didn’t work out – not for the vast majority anyway.
Why?
At first, I thought it was because our traffic methods sucked. Maybe even the gurus’ techniques were lousy.
Or, maybe the majority of the bloggers were just being plain lazy;
Or maybe they were implementing all the things that they learned in a haphazard way.
Then I noticed something…
A few of our customers who initially struggled with generating traffic to their blogs would, all of a sudden, take off like a rocket.
For months they would work their butts off and get nowhere.
Then BOOM!
Suddenly they’d get scores of traffic to their blogs.
And before they realize it, they’d already made 10x the money they spent on hiring us to build their blogs.
That’s when I started to investigate.
What were these clients doing differently than all the others?
– Did they pour in tons of extra work on their blogs?
– Did they come up with much better content?
– Did they have buckets of money to engage in paid advertising? Or were they simply being a notch smarter than the rest?
Well, it turns out that the answer was none of the above.
The ONE THING our successful blog clients had in common? They picked the right niche!
Really, it’s all about niche selection FIRST & FOREMOST!
Not geeky traffic techniques. Not extraordinary writing ability. Not an enviably huge marketing budget.
Of course, those are awesome and all.
But if you are in the wrong niche, NONE of them work.
After working with scores of customers, I can confidently say that there are only a few hundred niches in which blogging really works.
For instance, have you ever noticed how many travel blogs there are?
Or tech gadgets blogs?
Or social media blogs?
There’s a reason why. It’s simply because blogging works really well for those topics.
It’s why you don’t normally find popular blogs about growing tomatoes, or about weddings, or about becoming a better public speaker.
There never will be.
Yes, there’s no doubt that there are thousands upon thousands of people all over the world who are truly interested in those topics.
And yes, it’s quite tempting to build blogs that talk about them.
But you shouldn’t. Because you just can’t.
It doesn’t matter how hard you work your ass off.
It doesn’t matter how great your SEO skills are.
It doesn’t even matter how smart you are as an online entrepreneur.
It is simply impossible to build a popular blog in those niches. Period.
Fact: it’s impossible to build a blog around 99% of our passions and grow it into popular proportions.
The 6 Principles of Building and Growing a Successful Blog
I spent time looking for blogs that succeeded or failed.
My research led me to the discovery of 6 principles that a blog must follow in order to become successful.
You need to adhere to all 6 principles. No more, no less. If you can’t, your blog will never succeed, no matter how hard you try.
If you follow these 6 principles, your blog’s success is practically guaranteed. All that’s left is doing the work to make it happen.
Here are the MUST-HAVE principles for a blog to succeed…
Principle No. 1
You need to choose a niche with an audience that is desperate to know more about that niche’s topic.
If it’s about something they’ll be able to learn in a few weeks or months, then interest in the topic normally dies down quickly.
The result?
Your blog isn’t able to maintain its traffic.
In these low-interest niches (how to grow tomatoes, etc.), you’ll lose subscribers as fast as you gain them.
Ideally, you should pick a niche topic that will take years for people to learn and master. That way, you’ll be able to keep them around for years. Social media marketing is a very good example of such a niche.
And that’s only one of the 6 principles I’ve mentioned above.
Would you like to know about the other 5 principles?
Drop me a line using the contact form below this page to get free access to “The 6 Principles of A Popular Blog”.
You’ll be asked to provide your name and email address.
After receiving your message in my personal inbox, I’ll then send you the guide by hand (not via any autoresponders).
Listen.
If you’re already running a blog and are not seeing the results that you’re expecting, chances are your blog isn’t adhering to at least one of the 6 principles.
Of course, you can keep writing and producing awesome content but – I warn you – it’s never going to pull in a lot of eyeballs.
Yes, you can always start a brand new blog and if you’re lucky enough to strike a viable niche topic, you could be in for a big surprise with how quickly it grows.
Because, as you can see, it’s quite easy to grow a blog that meets all the 6 principles that I’m going to give you.
Once you are in a profitable niche, all you’ll need to do is to hire the right blog designer to build you a blog that is fully optimized for conversion and you’ll be 10x more likely to succeed than 99% of bloggers out there who fail to follow the 6 principles.
Why Am I Sharing This With You?
Because we like to see our clients succeed in their business.
Yes, we build blogs according to our customers’ specifications.
But unlike most designers out there, we don’t just dump a blog on you and leave you groping in the dark to figure out everything on your own.
I want my clients to be successful bloggers so that they can recommend our service to their friends and business associates (70% of our business comes from word-of-mouth referrals).
Even before we do business with you, we want to be certain that you’re headed in the right direction.
After we complete your project, we send you a guide about how to generate sustainable traffic to your brand new blog with a very small marketing budget.
You’ll also have the certainty that you’re headed in the right direction.
I’m truly sick of watching smart bloggers working for months – even years – on their niche blogs with zero chance of ever succeeding, no matter what they do.
All that wasted time, effort and money – what a tragedy!
So if you’re serious about blogging and want to start out on the right path, use the contact form below now to grab a copy of our guide, “The 6 Principles of A Popular Blog”.
After you’ve gone through my guide, you can decide if you’d want to hire me and my team to work on your blog project.
No pressure, no strings attached, no nothing.
What’s My Price?
Now, what’s the price if you decide to hire me and my team to build a blog for you that is fully optimized for conversion?
The short answer is: it depends.
Why?
Because the cost of building your fully optimized niche blog depends on the amount of expertise and time required to fulfill your project and how many features you want your blog to have.
– Do you need a blog to simply publish content?
– Or would you like to have a lead capture system integrated into it as well?
– Do you want to have a lander on the main page to suck in even more leads?
– Is there something else that’s on your mind that’s not listed here that you would like to discuss with us?
As mentioned above, the complete cost varies depending on the tasks required.
We can talk about it after you have finished reading my guide.
