10 Ways to Drive Traffic to your Website

Introduction

If you have a website, you probably want people to visit it. That's why you might be looking for some creative ways to drive traffic your way. If that's the case, then this post is for you! In it, I'll share ten simple strategies that can help promote your site without having to spend money on advertising or pay per click campaigns. So let's get started!

Post often on social media

If you're looking to drive traffic to your site, social media is one of the best ways to do it. As much as we hate to admit it, people love seeing themselves on social platforms like Facebook and Instagram and if you can use these platforms to build a community around your brand's message, there's no better way to drive traffic than by posting often. 

Here are a few tips for maximizing the good vibes that come from regular posts on social media:

• Post regularly! People want consistency so they know when to check in with what's happening in your world. If you're going on vacation or taking some time off, let them know ahead of time so they don't worry about missing something important!
• Use hashtags! They make it easy for people who aren't already following/subscribing (i.e., not already interested) see what they've been missing out on since they last checked-in with their feed(s). A great example would be using relevant industry-specific tags like #MarketingProfsMktgTipsHabits or #SocialMediaGuruTipsDailyStuff - anything which will help attract more eyes towards whatever content YOU find interesting enough!! :D <3 ^_^ O:-)
  

Write guest blog posts

Writing guest blog posts is another excellent way to drive traffic to your website. Guest blogging is when you write a post for someone else s blog and they publish it on their site in exchange for a link back to yours.

There are many benefits of guest blogging, but one of the biggest ones is that it will help you create more content for your own site. It s also a great way to increase visibility for your brand and build relationships with industry leaders.

When writing a guest post, make sure that you write about something unique that no one else has written about before (i.e., don t write about the same thing as everyone else). You should also include keywords related to what you sell on your site so people can easily find this information if they search Google or other search engines like Bing or Yahoo!.

In addition, make sure these keywords are easy-to-read in both their content and titles because readers might not bother reading an entire article if it doesn't look interesting at first glance! Finally, don't forget: make sure each paragraph contains only one idea/topic so readers can follow along easily while reading through each paragraph."

Use your email list to drive traffic

Email marketing is a great way to build relationships with your customers. It s also a very effective tool for driving traffic to your website and increasing revenue. 

You can use your email list to send out newsletters, surveys, and special offers or discounts. You can even build up a mailing list of potential customers by offering something valuable in exchange for their contact information.

Write and syndicate an article that gets picked up by news sites, magazines, blogs, etc.

• Write an article that is interesting, easy to read and gets people talking. Find a way to write about your subject matter in a way that makes it stand out from other articles on the same topic. Try asking yourself, What does this article need?
• Make sure you have permission from every person or business you mention in your article. You don't want to be on the receiving end of a lawsuit!
  
• Use images or videos to illustrate your points (and make them more memorable). If these are not yours, make sure you have permission from the owner(s) of those images/videos before including them in your article!
  
• Submit the finished piece to sites like Medium, LinkedIn Pulse and LinkedIn Influencers (this last one is my favorite).
  

Create a group challenge

You can also drive traffic to your website by creating a group challenge. A group challenge is when you incentivize people to share your content with their friends, family and other social media followers in order to get more people involved in the challenge. 

You can use tools like GroupHigh or Quuu to easily create challenges that encourage people to share your content on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc., which will result in more views of your website and more traffic coming from social media platforms.

Create a podcast

A podcast is a series of audio files that are released on a regular schedule. They can be anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour long, so they re great for interviews and discussion topics. You can listen to podcasts on your phone, tablet or computer.

Link out to other websites

• Link out to other websites that are relevant to your content. If you write about how to make the best ice cream in town, it makes sense to link out to a few of your favorite local dessert spots. 
• Link out to other websites that have good reputations for quality content. Don't just link out everywhere willy-nilly only link out if the site has been around for awhile, is well known and respected in its niche, and has posted high-quality articles similar in tone and style as your own content. 
• Link out only when possible! While linking back is important for SEO purposes (we'll get into that more later), if someone clicks on one of these links from another website (your blog post) then they could get distracted from reading your work entirely! So try not too hard when it comes out there...

Create content that solves problems for people

• Content marketing is a process of creating and distributing valuable content to attract, engage, and retain a clearly defined audience with the objective of driving profitable customer action. 
•  Create content that solves problems for people (including videos). 
•  Create educational material about your product or service if it is educational in nature. 
•  The goal is to drive traffic to your website so that you can capture the contact information of potential customers.
