However, for over a year and a half, NONE of these was my primary source of traffic, leads, or sales for my blog.

When it comes to blogging, when you start guest posting will determine how fast you can succeed with your business. No matter where you turn now days, you will find loads of people, myself and Ileane included, talking about how guest posting is a great way to build your blog traffic, especially if you are brand new. Although you can get some traffic with little content on your own site, most sites simply won’t let you guest post if you don’t have any content up yet.

A few weeks ago, I was chatting with Brian over at Blog Engage about the success rate of many of the blogs out there. As we talked, one thing that he mentioned is that a large number of his members that he chats with fail to actually make a decent living from their blog. As blogging becomes more and more popular, the fact remains that most bloggers never make money! I started doing some one-on-one coaching with people from my email list just to get a look at what they are doing, and where they struggle.
