Case Study: Turning $100 into 10,000 visitors and 100+ Links

I’ve been testing out blogging in different niches lately, doing some posts for a personal site and also coming up with post ideas for clients. My experience is that there is a lot to gain from writing in a new niche, from learning how to network with zero status and using popular content ideas in an industry where they don’t exist.

This post is going to look at a simple tactic that brought over 10,000 visitors and hundreds of links that you can replicate today.

Using Ideas

As many of you may know, I’ve been in this industry for over 3 years now and I’ve seen many bloggers come and go. With that, there have been so many post ideas I wish I had thought of, but once it’s out there it’s not really my thing to take the idea and just re-hash the writing.

However, if something does well in one niche, you can actually take that to a different niche and put it on a site there. This is exactly what I did, I copied an idea that has done very well in this niche, had it made and then put it in a completely new niche where it can work just as well. The result?

• Over 10,000 visitors to the page
• Hundreds of backlinks and rising
• Over 80 extra feed subscribers

And best of all, you don’t even need a blog.

The Idea

I’m sure most of you have came across this before, and you’ve probably even thought about doing something similar. However, the difference between doing and thinking is a big one. Personally, I don’t sit around, I would rather spend some money and see if something sticks. The idea in question is this list of the ‘Top 100 Make Money Online Blogs‘ by Mark and 45n5.

I paid a programmer from India $100 to create me the same script and put it to use in the personal development industry. Basically you enter a site via the admin panel and it ranks them via Google PR, Technorati Score & Alexa rank. Because you are giving bloggers exposure, they are more than happy to help you promote the page, all I did was contact each blogger to let them know that they were listed.

The results…

Over 400 links to the page according to Yahoo (in less than one month):
