Grab a permanent free and growing traffic source for your new blog

Later this week I am releasing 3 free Wordpress themes that will allow anyone to easily create a successful blog in just a few clicks. Using clean typography, minimalist design aesthetics, and an established proven advertising strategy, these 3 themes could be the most important Wordpress themes I have ever designed.

However, rather than just releasing them in the normal way, I’ve decided to make things a little more interesting.

Regular readers will already know that the theme download blog posts are amongst the highest traffic areas of Upstart Blogger. Couple this with the fact that I prefer to see my designs, and demonstrate my designs, on real blogs and an opportunity presents itself for 3 new bloggers.

The first blogger to start a new blog with each of this week’s 3 Wordpress themes will become the rolling demo for that particular theme.

To win all you have to do is be the first person to start a new blog with 1 of this week’s 3 Wordpress themes once they are released and leave a comment on the release blog post, linking to your new blog, to prove you have used the theme.

It’s a simple first past the post system. On Wednesday December 2 2009 I will release the first of these 3 themes. And the first person to leave a comment with a link back to a brand new blog that uses that theme will be permanently linked as its demo.

The same thing will happen on Thursday December 3 and Friday December 4.

If you are successful your link will be seen by an ever increasing number of people, in addition to the the thousands that will see it every day here at Upstart Blogger, since Wordpress theme demos are often picked up by various Wordpress theme aggregators and design blogs. Your blog’s page rank will rise rapidly as the back links naturally grow.

And all you have to do is start a new blog, use 1 of this weeks Wordpress themes, and be the first person to leave a comment on the relevant blog post.

If you are serious about winning these links here is the course of action that I recommend you take.

Step 1. Get yourself some quality hosting that will allow you to set up a Wordpress blog quickly. Click here to use my recommended host, AN Hosting, using coupon code UPSTARTBLOGGER for 3 free months. AN Hosting will have you up and running in under 24 hours giving you plenty of time to get your blog ready for the days ahead.

Step 2. Stay tuned to Upstart Blogger on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and download the themes as quickly as you can when they appear online.

Step 3. As soon as you have uploaded and activated the theme and written your first blog post leave a comment on the theme release announcement blog post for the theme of your choice. The first person to leave a comment wins the link.

To clarify a few points, you don’t have to use my recommended host but your blog must be brand new. However, if you do use my recommended host don’t forget that will also qualify for a free 30 day blogging course that will ensure you blog gets off to the best possible start.

If you have been thinking about starting a blog this is probably the best incentive you will ever get. The successful new bloggers will get something that, literally, money can’t buy.

Ready made traffic that will grow over time.

And, since these Wordpress themes will come preconfigured to make money via the Upstart Blogger affiliate program, that traffic source will guarantee that you can generate an income with your blog from day 1.
