If this is you, then you will be thrilled to learn that you can invest as little as 5 minutes per post to drive traffic to your blog year after year.

I've been using submission sites since 2013 and started getting serious about using them in 2016.

From 2016 - 2019, a submission site was my #2 traffic referrer each year and there were always at least 4 sites in my top 20, with at least 2 in my top 10 referrers.

In 2020, I focused even more on submission sites and am happy to report that my #2 top referrer continues to be a submission site and I now have 10 in my top 23 referrers, with 5 in my top 10!

All that recurring traffic is the result of a one-time investment of as little as 5 minutes for each post!

I shared my tips and process with another blogger a year ago and she, too, experienced significant success using submission sites. In just one year of submitting posts to submission sites, she had 5 submission sites in her top 20 traffic referrers, in positions 9, 10, 14, 17, 18!

The beauty of using submission sites to drive traffic is that once you submit your post, they do all the work for you. Your one-time investment of as little as 5-minues can result in blog traffic year after year after.

But not all submission sites are equal. Some have a more difficult submission process and some create more traffic to their own site rather than pushing it to your site. Knowing where to focus your effort is key.

Over the years, I've streamlined my submission process to make it as efficient as possible. I target sites that are proven long-term traffic drivers. In Blog Traffic Hidden Gems - Submission Sites I share both my submission process and my site selection criteria with you.
