ClickNewz total site traffic more than doubled in 2011, compared to 2010.
Last year the site saw well over half a million unique visitors (666,014), compared to just over a quarter million in ’09.
The total number of visits in December 2011 was nearly triple the number of December 2010, with more visitors viewing a higher number of pages per visit.
Engagement is up!
And 2012 looks to be even more promising in terms of growth.
All of the traffic is organic and highly targeted. Top traffic sources are major search engines, social media and personal referrals.

Jimmy D. Brown has just released some incredible training material… with an interesting twist!
The cool thing is that it’s only $10, and that $10 is credited back to you to spend on any of his other products.
Sound confusing? It’s not.
You can see the details at:

I decided to sign up this morning and check it out. Honestly, it’s a steal at only ten bucks considering the source. Jimmy D. Brown is one of the longest running successful online marketers, and his training material has always had a gold reputation. I’ve purchased several of his products over the years and have never been disappointed…

As entrepreneurs, I believe we are all on a similar path of self-improvement and personal growth. That we are not sheep, but want to take control of our own lives in a meaningful way.
Most of you already know I’m a huge fan of Napoleon Hill’s work in Think and Grow Rich.
What I love most is how it teaches you to generate a “burning desire” for what you want, instead of just wishing, and how that burning desire compels you to take actions (both consciously and subconsciously) toward making that desire a reality.
Realizing that I had a choice in life was a monumental turning point for me. Up to that point, which was around 10 years ago, I simply allowed life to happen. And boy did it ever. If you do nothing at all, life will still go on all the way around you – and even involve you. And you can let the world create you like that, mold you, or you can take control and create the version of yourself you prefer to be…

Many people have asked me how to get more people to comment on their blog.
My response has typically been, “Why?”
I often said that ‘comments are not currency’, and recommended they focus on conversions instead of comments.
Let’s take a product review post, for example. If it’s converting well, do you really want to interrupt the buying decision and try to talk them into leaving a comment instead? Of course not.
If they only take ONE action on your page, which action do you want it to be?
-> The buy button or product link!
That said, things are changing, and so is my answer…

Today is Day 12 of 2012.
One of my main objectives for the year was to be more consistent across my three main blogs. Ideally I would like to blog daily on all three, but would be happy with 5 posts per week on each.
Like I said, it’s Day 12 (January 12th) as I write this. And this is my very first post for the New Year here on ClickNewz.
LOL
As I was sitting here yet another day, staring at a blank WordPress draft, I thought… why not discuss the obvious?
So let’s talk about why consistency is so important, and what to do when you’re not feeling particularly inspired to write an outstanding piece of content…
