One of the biggest problems internet marketers, yes that includes you too, face is getting traffic. So many people believe the myth 'if you build it they will come'. Believe me, that's total BS!
Here are 5 tips to flood traffic to your blog:
1. Article marketing. This is one of the easiest ways to generate traffic to your site. It entails you writing articles for article submission sites and linking your blog from the article itself or from your profile or author box. Not only will you generate traffic, writing articles is a great way to distinguish yourself as an expert in your niche.
If you aren't a great writer, don't have the time to write or just simply don't want to do it you can hire a ghost writer to do it for you. And of course there is always PLR (private label rights) as well.
A transcription company that extensively relies on article marketing is also one of the top rank transcription companies right now. Can you guess what transcription company?
2. Guest Blogging. This tactic is especially good to establish yourself as an expert. It entails you writing on a blog other than yours. You will be exposed to a new audience and new potential subscribers and readers. Generating traffic from a popular blog can ensure your blog gets the exposure it deserves.
3. Forum Marketing. Also known as message boards. This is another useful tactic in generating traffic to your site. Make sure you are joining forums that are relevant to your niche and where your target market is likely to be hanging out.
Don't join a forum and immediately post a 'sales pitch'. In fact before you even post a link sharing about your services or product you should become 'known' around the forum. It's all about building relationships first!
4. Video Traffic. The idea of creating a video can be a bit scary but you need to step out of your comfort zone and create a compelling video that will be beneficial to your target audience. Make something that grabs people's attention and keep them interested and end with a call to action. Don't forget to put a link to your website in the video where people can see it clearly. In Youtube videos, utilize the description section to put a link to your site or blog.
5. Commenting. Commenting on other related blogs in your niche is one way to drive traffic to your blog or site. Write only useful and encouraging comments. Discuss and push the ideas in the post further. Build your relationship with others on the blog. Showcase your expertise and knowledge. Be friendly. Don't forget to use your blog or site url.
