EASY Ways to Get Traffic to Your Website
- Sign up for an Email Marketing Service and use all their tools effectively (especially the Analytics): MailChimp has a great “Forever Free” option that can get you started with email marketing if you don’t already have a list, or have a short list to start with. They give you up to 500 subscribers and you can send up to 3000 emails a month on this free plan.
- Add people to your list (ethically).
- Create Interesting Topics.
The next topic we talked about was podcasting (or digital audio broadcasting), and building traffic to your website through talking about your expertise via broadcasting your own radio show, that isn’t live, and people can choose to download it and listen to it at their leisure. The great thing about podcasting is that it’s fairly simple to set up and get going, where all you need to do is:
- Create the Podcast File: Using a computer, a microphone, and some free audio recording software like “Audacity”.
- Upload and Store the File: With a service like LibSyn.
- Disseminate the File to RSS readers.
Then finally, last week we talked about “EASY Search Engine Optimization (or SEO) Tips” and things you can do to be sure that your website is search engine friendly and can drive organic traffic through search results. The main idea here was to be sure that you give search engines enough information to be able to make the right choices about the relevancy of your website in relation to keywords that are specifically optimized on each of your site’s pages. Those tips only scratched the surface, so if you’re really interested in learning more, here’s a great resource: Search Engine Optimization All-in-One For Dummies by Bruce Clay and Susan Esparza. It’s a great 10-in-1 book that gets into just about everything you need to know, and it gets into the finer points of Search Engine Marketing, and it also includes a $25 gift card for trying out Google AdWords.
