How To Increase Your Blog Traffic – Sharing The Love

Recap

As discussed in the video above, you may be able to attract more FREE traffic by giving companies you’ve worked with testimonials that include your name and website address. Most products you purchase have a testimonial section where they list happy customers. Obviously this is used to make us feel more comfortable doing business with this company. But it’s a great way to get free traffic as well if you follow what I’ve described in the video above.

Next Steps:

Make a list of any products you have purchased recently related or unrelated to your business.
Reach out to each company and ask them if they could use a testimonial.
Write the testimonial and asks if they would mind including your website as well in it.
Once your testimonial is up, reach out to them and encourage them to email their list the testimonial as case study. Or you can tell them to share it on their social media accounts as well.
Enjoy the ongoing traffic.

Conclusion

This is a simple technique where everyone wins. Unfortunately its pretty hard to attract the effectiveness especially if they don’t link to your site. But in my experience I’ve had people tell me they visited my site after reading a testimonial on another site. So it does work and it’s FREE ongoing traffic or branding for you.

Recap

As discussed in the video above, you can attract more FREE traffic by giving away prizes such as money, gift cards, your product, services, etc. Contests have always been a cost effective way to promote a company. But they haven’t always been easy to set up. But that has changed especially if you’re using certain WordPress contest plugins. Some of them will allow you to set up a contest that encourages users to share your site to improve their chances of winning your contest.

This can lead to more subscribers and direct traffic to your blog. The great thing about this tactic is it can be used over and over again.

This is a pretty effective technique to build up a list quickly and to drive people to your website. However it may not necessarily attract the proper audience depending on what your prize is. So you may want to test different prizes depending on your goals to determine which is more effective.

by Eddy with a y

Recap

As discussed in the video above, you can attract more FREE traffic via social media by locking certain parts of your existing content. The key to this tactic is provide enough useful content within your post that draws your user in. But you want lock sections within your content that may provide additional useful information such as tips, hacks, features, or warnings that tug at your visitors emotional strings. So you must use a fine balance of giving enough of a taste in your content but leaving them wanting more.

This tactic works extremely well with your existing popular posts. But it can be used on all your posts for incremental growth if you want.

Resources:

Social Locker For WordPress is the premium plugin that I used and discussed in the video.

Next Steps:

Review your blog analytics and identify your most popular posts.
Re-read each of your posts and decide which part of your content would be good to lock while still providing enough value to entice your audience to act.
Download a content locker that encourages viral sharing to view content and lock parts of your popular posts.
Repeat this step with additional posts or all posts.
Watch your social media following and traffic grow consistently over time.

Conclusion

I know this tip seems pretty easy but it’s very powerful. I assumed than many bloggers are aware of this. But I’m always surprised to see how many blogs lack strong calls to action. So if you knew this already, then that’s great for you. But for those of you that didn’t, you will be happily surprised how applying this increases your conversions relatively quickly.
