We decided that we wanted to fill your tool chest with MORE than just the graphics... So the following report will reveal some of our tested and proven secrets for generating massive amounts of profitable viral traffic to your blogs – using free graphics like the ones you are about to download

It will also tie everything together and let you see the big picture – allowing you to generate a lot more free traffic to your blogs, plus a sneak peek at some very interesting stuff that is about to hit the blogging world.

Because you have a WordPress blog, or you are at least thinking about adding one to your marketing arsenal... perhaps you are like us and have scores of blogs out there.

Now WP blogs are great... They are one of the easiest ways to build and maintain websites. And because there are so many themes and plugins being made daily, you have a lot of flexibility and opportunities when using WP.

THE REASON YOU ARE READING THIS REPORT RIGHT NOW IS…

EASY

FLEXIBLE

CHEAP

This flexibility can also seem daunting – there are so many choices out there. A lot of bloggers get stuck in the rut of buying new shiny plugins and themes almost daily…

Losing Sight of What’s Important! MAKING MONEY! Sound Familiar?

Making Money From Blogging Involves Two Simple Things …

Now I’m not knocking the people releasing plugins and themes – most of them are good. We have released several themes and plugins and all of them would improve your earnings by getting you more traffic, monetizing your traffic etc. But if they are not part of an underlying plan for your blog – enhancing what you are doing... this buying plugin after plugin pretty much amounts to “dressing up a pig”.

So What’s The Plan? Well, since you are here I’m assuming that you are an internet marketer and that the overall purpose of your blogs is to make money, and...

MONETIZATION: YOU NEED TO MAKE MONEY FROM YOUR VISITORS; EITHER THROUGH AD REVENUE, SELLING AFFILIATE PRODUCTS, SELLING YOUR OWN PRODUCTS ETC.

TRAFFIC: YOU NEED PEOPLE TO VISIT YOUR BLOGS AND THE MORE THE MERRIER!

You can have the prettiest blog in the world, with the most clever monetization strategy ever implemented... But if nobody visits your blog, you are not going to make a single cent.

UNFORTUNATELY, WHAT HOLDS MOST PEOPLE BACK IS A

There Are Many Different Kinds Of Traffic … Let Me Give You Just A Few Examples

LACK OF FOCUS Especially When It Comes To Traffic

Yeah – I’m Being Captain Obvious Here…

Of course you know that your blog needs traffic to turn a profit.

But getting traffic is the single thing most marketers struggle with the most... It’s also the topic that is most likely to suck you into buying stuff you really don’t need...

Or at least don’t need yet... Because all the clever traffic plugins and that new sexy Facebook traffic strategy means absolutely jack to you... until you have a solid foundation in place to utilize them.

That’s what I’m going to do in this report... help you lay down a solid foundation for blogging success and massive amounts of profitable traffic.

All Traffic Sources Are Not Created Equal At least ini^ally anyway… 7

-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐ There are many other ways to drive traffic and it would be wrong to say that any traffic source or strategy is better than others – that very much comes down to testing and how well you implement each strategy. However…

SEO (search engine optimization):

Ranking in Google and other search

engines in order to get free organic

traffic.

Social Media: Getting people to

bookmark, share and like your content on social

media sites like for example Facebook (or

doing it yourself)… and hoping that the shared content will go viral.

Paid Traffic: buying ads on

other sites, using Google Adwords, Facebook ads etc. Email marketing:

This is one of our favorite and most

effective traffic sources. When you have built of

an email list you can drive traffic to anything, anywhere on demand,

just by mailing your list.

TRAFFIC EXAMPLES

So, While All Of These Traffic Sources Should Be Part Of Your Long Term Blogging Plans…

FOR BLOGGERS, SEO IS OFTEN THE MAIN TRAFFIC STRATEGY

ALONG THE SAME LINES…

Google loves blogs, and Wordpress blogs specifically, so blogging is one of the easiest way to rank content high in Google and other search engines. On top of that, you will oèn find that search engine traffic is some of your most targeted and best conver^ng traffic, so it’s definitely worth going aèr.

Email marke^ng is super effec^ve, but you need to build the list first and that of course requires traffic.

Paid traffic can be risky. If you have not had sufficient free traffic to your site to gauge your conversion rates, you could loose a lot of money throwing paid traffic to a site that is as dead as a dodo.

But ranking high in Google is usually a slow process of building up great content and backlinks over ^me. Not only that, but SEO has shièd over the years. These days the most important factors are how people interact with your content; how much ^me do they spend on your site, do they share your content, and how oèn do people pick your site when they see it in the search results.

The answer is social media and social sharing, and here’s why:

So What Is The Best Way To Start Driving Traffic To A New Blog (Or Any Blog For That MaNer)?

-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐

Driving traffic with social sharing is free and super easy. You are just going to do what you are probably already doing on a daily basis on sites like Facebook

-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐

It has been proven that 85% of all buying decisions online are influenced by social media and recommenda^ons by friends. In other words traffic from social media can be some of the most lucra^ve.

Social media traffic is an easy way to instantly get traffic flowing to seed and test the other traffic methods

Google and other search engines gives a lot of weight to social media, the more shares and likes you have the beAer you will rank. So implemen^ng social media early on will significantly boost your SEO in the long run.

Social media is the most likely source for viral traffic and for geing other people to spread the word about your blog for you.

And finally… You can kick start your own social traffic and get a lot of traffic instantly (we will show you how in a bit)

But before we get to that, we have to look at…

Photos Are The MOST Viral Post Types To Be Shared, Forwarded and Liked on Facebook 11

Key #1: We Need To Know What Kind Of Content People Are Most Likely To Share You hear this all the ^me… Video is king of the Internet. But in reality, the picture (pardon the pun) is very different.

-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐

As you can see on the graphic to the right – photos (and other images) are by far the most shared kind of content on Facebook… And the trend becomes even clearer when we look at what kind of content is most likely to go viral on Facebook.

The Most Shared Images Are… 12

As you can see images totally dominate social sharing on Facebook. Chances are that if you have a look at your own Facebook wall you will no^ce the same trend; the posts with the most likes, shares and comments are usually images. And it makes sense… We are bombarded with messages all the ^me, most of us have a Facebook wall that moves at the speed of light. People simply don’t have the ^me to watch every video and read every message. And no maAer how many ^mes we say “I’ll watch/read that later”-‐ we of course never do!

But then we see an image and we can instantly make the decisions as to whether we want to click the like or share link.

BoAom line… If you want to rack up a lot of likes, shares and have your social media posts go viral – you need to post images!

This also means that all your blog posts should have images in them. This will not only make it more likely that people will share your posts – but also that the shared posts will get likes and addi^onal shares.

HOT TIP ALERT … 13

While images are the most likely form of content to be shared and go viral – some images are more popular than others. If you have a choice (and it makes sense with your content) you should go for one of the following:

u  Funny pictures: including internet memes u  Sexy pictures: as always sex sells, just be sure to keep it “safe for work” with no

nudity, so you comply with i.e. Facebook ToS. u  Quotes: if you cast a glance at your own Facebook wall you will no^ce that people

love to post and share quotes (inspira^onal or not) – and the ones that get the most shares are the ones where the text has been put on top of a background image.

u  Cute: people love to share cute images of animals (cats and dogs are especially popular). And especially women love to share pictures of babies too.

u  Personal: if you have a strong following, online sharing personal photos can generate a lot of response (especially if you combine them with some of the other points above.

And in general you would want to combine these to get the best results – for example a picture of a cute cat doing something funny, with a funny quote added… Now that is the kind of image that people will love to share.

14

Don’t forget to add a watermark with your URL to all your images, so you will get type-‐in traffic if one or more of your images go viral.

SUPER HOT TIP #1

Images are the most shared type of content – but the most shared images on sites like Tumblr and Pinterest are GIFS (animated images), so if you can you should definitely include GIFS in your social media strategy.

SUPER HOT TIP #2

Key #2: We Need To Know How People Like To Share Content & Images…

-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐

First, you need to make it easy for people to find the share and like buAons on your blog. If people need to hunt for these, they are already lost to you. Secondly, since we are going for an image sharing strategy here, you need to make sure that there is an image to be shared in each post and that this is clear to people when they click on the share buAon. In WordPress this is super easy – simply make it a habit to assign a “featured image” to all of your posts. When people share this i.e. on Facebook, the featured image will automa^cally be used in the post that Facebook auto-‐generates for your users.

Get More Shares By… Resembling the process on the main social networks 16

With an image based social media strategy, it makes sense to give more weight to social networks that display images directly such as Facebook, Pinterest and Tumblr. I’m not saying that you should leave out TwiAer, but since you’d be sharing a link to an image rather than the image itself, the other networks should be of higher priority. Finally, the more familiar the sharing process is to your visitors, the more likely they are to share and like your content. People are spending a lot of ^me on sites like Facebook, Pinterest and Tumblr that using the sharing buAons on those sites are second nature to them. The more you can make the sharing op^ons on your own blog resemble the process on the main social networks, the more shares you are likely to get.

The Charts Below Show…

The social media market shares for July 2013 and as you can see Facebook are way ahead of the pack, especially if you look at the global stats.

Key #3: We Need To Know Where People Like To Share Content & Images…

-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐

It’s not a secret that Facebook is the behemoth of social networks. With over 1 billion users, it takes up a big slice of the social media market.

19

Facebook Is Not The Be All End All Of Social Networking

-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐

So naturally you should include Facebook in your social media strategy, anything else would be insane. But…

-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐

You should not rely on Facebook only – there are many other social networks that you should be using (and giving your visitors the op^on to use). Just because other networks have a much lower market share, does not mean they are not worth using (far from it) – here are some examples…

-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐

-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐

-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐ -‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐

-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐ PINTEREST: was the up & coming social network (and a major buzz word) for 2012. Since Pinterest is essentially a pin board for sharing images, it’s definitely a network you want to feature prominently on any blog that uses an image based social media strategy. Active users are primarily women, so Pinterest can be especially powerful if your content and products are aimed at a female audience. Mimicking Pinterest on your own blogs can also be a very good strategy and our own www.CovertPinPress.com theme is a very popular strategy for doing that.

REDDIT: does not get a lot of attention in the internet marketing space and that is a shame. The average Reddit user is a young male and he is VERY active. So while Reddit doesn’t always have the best converting traffic – you can get a LOT of traffic from Reddit very fast – making it the perfect choice for kick starting a new blog.

For example, when we ini^ally launched the Covert Viral Wizard demo site at www.AutoCorrectFail.me -‐ all I did was share the first post on Reddit and this was how Google Analy^cs looked the following morning…

As you can clearly see, ignoring Reddit, only focusing on Facebook would have been a huge mistake (to the tune of 350 visitors that would have never found our site!)

Zero to 350 in the first 24 hours!

But Where Is Tumblr? I have already men^oned Tumblr a few ^mes in this report, but when you look at the chart above it is nowhere to be found.

23

Tumblr actually has a bigger market share than Pinterest, TwiNer and LinkedIn

COMBINED!

-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐

I have already men^oned Tumblr a few ^mes in this report, but when you look at the chart above it is nowhere to be found. That’s because most sites repor^ng on social media market share do not consider Tumblr a social network but rather a blogging plavorm similar to the free WordPress.com blogs. But in reality Tumblr is a social network – just as much as Pinterest, TwiNer, Facebook etc. is.

-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐

-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐

And at the same ^me Tumblr is mostly untapped in terms of internet marke^ng – this is the next social marke^ng fron^er, if you take only one thing away from this report let it be this… You need to start using Tumblr as part of your markeang strategy!

Yahoo saw this and recently purchased Tumblr for a whopping $1.1 billion!

Which Is GREAT News For You adver^sing companies and major corpora^ons are figh^ng hard to get their hands on this lucra^ve market of young people which means higher ad revenue for you.

-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐ As you can see the top tag on Tumblr is “GIFS”, and as we said earlier GIFS are the single best thing you can share on social networks if you are looking for viral traffic. But generally Tumblr is very image focusing, so it fits perfectly with the strategies outlined in this report. A few other reasons why Tumblr is poised to be an internet marke^ng gold mine… 29% of Tumblr’s visitors are in the valuable 18 to 24 demographic, according to Quantcast. In December Compete.com found that Tumblr’s visitors skewed the youngest of any of the major social media sites, with 45% under 35. In fact Tumblr is more popular than Facebook among teens and young adults. Among teenagers, about 61% say they use Tumblr on a regular basis, compared with 55% for Facebook. The numbers are slightly lower for both for those aged 19 to 25.

Even Though Tumblr Is A Fantastic Resource Just wai^ng to be tapped, there is one big problem… 34

In fact the likelihood of a post geing reblogged on Tumblr is much higher than similar stats for sharing on Facebook or retwee^ng on TwiAer… Making it much more likely that your posts will go viral.

Tumblr has always been VERY ana-‐markeang. -‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐-‐

It remains to be seen if this policy will con^nue now that Yahoo has acquired Tumblr – but the best guess is that it will. Yahoo has already said that they want to con^nue running Tumblr the same way it has always been, but they of course want to mone^ze it to recoup their $1.1 billion. In other words they are more concerned about puing their own ads on Tumblr, rather than allowing other internet marketers to mone^ze their plavorm.

Puing ads, banners and links on a Tumblr blog is frowned upon and can o`en get you banned.

The Birth Of Covert Viral Wizard 37

Don’t worry, we haven’t gone insane… We’re s^ll saying you should use Tumblr – as long as you do it the right way, by using Tumblr to feed your money making WordPress blogs. But we also thought it would be possible to bridge the gap between Tumblr and WordPress and build a WordPress theme that would tap into the viral nature of Tumblr and let you reap all the viral traffic rewards, while being in full control and able to mone^ze all your content. So that’s that we set out to do…

The Key Features Of The Covert Viral Wizard Theme… You are going to love these! 38

As you may know, we are huge fans of WordPress…

Over the past year we have released four WP themes to great acclaim, namely www.CovertPinpress.com, www.CovertVideoPress.com, www.CovertSocialPress.com and www.CovertStoreBuilder.com

So it was natural for us to go about building Covert Viral Wizard as a WP theme.

In a nutshell Covert Viral Wizard will be a one-‐click-‐install theme that will instantly transform your blog into a Tumblr styled powerhouse of viral traffic.

Right now we are adding the finishing touches to the theme and tes^ng it like mad men. And those tests are very encouraging indeed, the test sites are ranking high, geing lots of traffic and most importantly... they are making money!
