Should, or should you not be using social media scheduling tools has been an ongoing battle of opinion between social media experts.

A previous guest on this show believes that tweets should never be scheduled, because what’s so important that it needs to be said, but not important enough for you to be there when it is.

Conventional thinking would dictate that you should get full credit for a 40,000 word blog post when you wrote it.

You write, you get the reward.

This was not (entirely) the case for Aaron Agius however when he wrote tens of thousands of words for QuickSprout.com. His name didn’t appear as the author, and he didn’t get paid.

Why then would he waste days of his time to content that sits on someone else’s site published under someone else's name?

Aaron Agius understands the power within other people’s audiences, when those audiences are bigger and more established than his own. Aaron is adept at identifying co-authored content and guest post opportunities then exploiting them for his own gain.

On this episode, you will discover how Aaron leverages high trafficked sites to get more 'eye balls' and build his brand.

Imagine this, you are a salesman selling insurance and you're competing with a thousand other insurance dealers in your area. You'd probably say it's more appalling than appealing as you're not really expecting to get a lion's share of the potential market.

But when you rethink your strategy and start piggybacking businesses whose clients would need your insurance policies, then it's highly likely you see a future ahead of you that is exciting.

Master marketer Greg Cesar talks about ways you can use alternative traffic sources to achieve your goal without competing with all the other sharks in the ocean for this episode of Traffic Jam.
