Ways to get more traffic

 How do I get more traffic on my blog?

Many times it happens that due to lack of traffic, we get frustrated and think that there is no profit in blogging.  It's just a waste of time. But the truth is that it takes time to get good organic traffic and rank on the server.  Therefore, we have to keep his patience and post the best content regularly. Though we’d all like it if readers just magically came to us, the reality is, it takes some work to build an audience. If you follow the tips given below, it can be useful to boost your readership and increase traffic.

•   Promote with social media

 Share your blog to all your social media accounts such as instagram, twitter, facebook, whatsapp, linkedin, google+, pinterest. The more time you spend on insta, watching reels and scrolling memes. If you spend that much time in sharing your blog, then it is helpful for you to increase the traffic.   

• Write more

 Studies show that the more often you update your blog, the more traffic it will  receive. Google gives higher priority to websites with fresh content, so if you want to get more attention from the search engines, update your blog at least twice a week..

• Write better titles

The title has more weight than the content of your blog.  From the title itself, the reader will be able to decide whether to click your link or not. Pay attention to the article titles you see on magazine covers. They entice readers with promises and solutions. When you do the same, your readership will increase.

• Know your niche

Set up your niche with your interest and hobbies and then set your target audience and understand that what your audience wants to read and what specific messages you want to convey then post the same content. Otherwise your audience will be confused if content doesn't follow your theme.

• Include Photos

Studies have shown that photos in blog posts boost readership. Not only does a photo make the post more visually appealing, but you can also include keywords in the Alt Image tag on the photo, boosting search engine optimization (SEO) for your site.

• Incorporate keywords.

Speaking of SEO, keywords are at the heart of SEO. One of the easiest ways to generate more traffic to your website is to ensure that every page on your site has a keyword strategy. So for each blog post you write, choose one key phrase that you believe readers would use to find that post. Next, incorporate that phrase into the title of the post, the headline on the page, within the content on the page at least two times, in a featured image on the page and also as part of the page link. Keyword concentration helps Google understand what that page is about, which can ultimately lead to more traffic from the search engines.

• Incorporate links.

When you mention another company’s product or service in a blog post, include a link to that company’s page. Not only does Google like to see outbound links on your site, the company you mention may also notice your post and link back to you. Plus, readers appreciate it when you provide resources to make it easier for them to find the things they're looking for.

• Add social sharing buttons.

At the top and bottom of your blog posts, make sure you include social sharing buttons for Twitter, LinkedIn and the other major social networks. Make it easy for readers to spread the word.

• Retweet past content.

We aren’t all looking at Twitter at the same time, so when you share a new blog post link, the majority of your fan base won’t see it the first time. Repeat your tweets, and don’t be afraid to share past content. Readers don’t care when it was written as long as it’s still relevant.

• Invite guest contributors.

When others write for your blog, you add more content that you didn’t have to write yourself. As a bonus, those contributors will also share with their networks and may ask you to write for them, opening up new readership avenues for you.

• Add video

Google owns YouTube, which is one of the many reasons that videos can drive more traffic to your site. Supplement the written content on your blog with short videos that are informative and entertaining.

• Invest in promotion

If you believe your audience is spending time on Facebook, occasionally invest in sponsored posts. For as little as $10, you can “Boost” a post and increase its reach significantly.

• Conduct give-away events

Create fun theme days such as “Free Book Fridays” where your readers can win a prize by submitting a comment or sharing your link via social media. You can provide prizes yourself or invite companies to donate or sponsor these promotions.

• Write guest posts

Locate other blogs that reach your target audience, and offer to contribute guest blog posts. If the site has a substantial audience, you can bet that readers will in turn want to engage with more of your content.

• Cross-promote to your mailing list

Instead of writing all new content for your electronic newsletter, share the first paragraph from several recent blog posts and include a link to continue reading on the site. Not everyone is taking the time to read your blog each week, so this will help get your subscribers invested in your blog.

      Follow above tips properly and you will get results.

      Best of luck.
