Ok, Frances actually makes getting traffic sound crazy simple!
And when she says what she did it genuinely does make blogging sound like a very simple game. In fact, I don't even think she realises how much of a writing machine she has become.

Ready to make passive income online?
I've created a growing passive income online with no previous marketing skills or online experience...
I've made a special video for you to explain exactly how I did this.
I couldn’t have found your article at a more important time: I am currently trying to build my own online business and have recently started writing blogs. I have got in to a nice flow of it but really feel I need to step it up, so when I came across your article when searching for ways to build my blogs further I was delighted.
Simply reading the key points that you have written down, there is so much to be taken from this alone, so I will definitely be making sure I set aside the time over the coming few days to sit and listen to the podcast.
Thank you for sharing this, i will certainly be bookmarking your website to come back to having seen the other podcasts on there too.
I’m so glad it helped Emma! Yeah, Frances really knows her stuff and it is amazing what she achieved in such a short amount of time. Feel free to drop any questions here for her and I’ll let her know
