Whether you have a physical or an on-line store, getting people into the store is a big part of your success. If they don’t come to your business or check out your website, they can’t learn what you’re sharing or buy your products. Getting traffic means increasing the flow of people into your showcase, so you can interact with them. Getting traffic is one key to a thriving business!
Unfortunately, getting traffic is something that many business owners struggle with. They know that additional traffic can lead to more profit, but they just don’t know where to invest their time and effort.
Let’s look at an example:
If you put up a new website and your first few months of profit look like this…
$12 with 100 visitors in Month 1
$45 with 500 visitors in Month 2
$102 with 1000 visitors in Month 3
From this data, you can start to figure the per visitor value of your website is about 10 cents each. So, the odds are that you’d make approximately $500 with 5,000 visitors and $1000 with 10,000 visitors – assuming all things remain the same, right?
Even if you didn’t change one thing on your site, you should make significantly more money.
It would be really great if you could just build a website and have people automatically flock to it — but it doesn’t happen that way in real life. The good news is that we’ll be sharing tips on different ways that you can get a lot of traffic to your site.
Implementing these methods does take some effort, but the results will be well worth it.
Once you put these tips into action, you’ll see an increase in traffic, which, over time will continue to grow.
Let’s get started…
Backlinks
One great way to help people find you is by making sure there are links on other sites back to your pages. Think of them as doorways for people to find what you’re offering.
If you create some really great content on your website, oftentimes it is enough to entice other people to link to it. This is often called “link bait” because you might write something that is so amazing or controversial that other people can’t help but talk about it. This works especially well on blogs, but you can use it on your website as well.
Add Quality Content Through PLR
If you look at the websites that get the most visitors you’ll notice they often offer a lot of valuable content. It can take some time to build up this level of authority. Still, as long as you are offering quality content, this will happen for you.
One way to get more content quickly, is to use Private Label Rights or PLR. Basically, the author is selling you rights to use their articles and e-books. You can use it as is, and say “presented by…” or you can edit it and make it your own. There is a ton of it out there, and some of it’s well written and informative (and some of it’s junk). We’ve gotten some good material from Easy PLR.
Ask Readers to Share!
Asking never hurts. Include a sentence in your blog asking people to pass the link on to friends and family who might be interested, or to share about it on their site. The reminder encourages readers to think of someone who would just love to hear about your information!
