Recently I found a very helpful video that revealed 9 new techniques to drive more traffic to your website. Enjoy!
Table of Contents
1 The “Upside Down” Guest Post
Write a guest post but with some special feature: Include helpful resources that link to your website. This will bring more traffic to your website than the Authors Bio at the very end of the article.
2 Use Click to Tweet Links
Check your post for “tweetable” content. That can be list, info graphics.
Go to https://clicktotweet.com/ and create a Link that you then embed to your blog.
3 Publish more List posts
Buzz Sumo found out that List posts are 6x more shared than How to posts and 40x more than info graphics.
4 Overhaul and update old blog posts
Add new strategies, update your graphics, remove outdated links.
Relaunch it like a new post. Share it new on social media, send an announcement to your email list.
5 Add “Share Triggers” to your content
Use social currency: things that lets the reader look good if he shares it on social media. This can be for instance a well designed info graphic.
6 Go on Podcasts
One survey found out that 24% of all Americans listen to podcasts regularly.
Go to podcasters as a guest. The links provided in the show notes can boost your website significantly with laser targeted visitors.
