You probably have heard of multiple sources of income but are you aware of the concept of multiple source of traffic to bring traffic to your website?
As the name implies, it is getting traffic from multiple sources.
The question is, how many sources of traffic are you using to bring traffic to your website?
Guest Blogging
Personally, guest blogging and commenting is excellent to build your brand. Because you are not supposed to do the selling there, it is a platform to showcase how much you know about the topic and that somehow your readers can follow you to tap on your knowledge.
And to develop your brand, the best way is to follow the blog owner guideline.
Do remember that first person you want to impress during guest blogging is not your readers. Guess who?
Well, you probably guess it.
It is the admin or the blog owner…
He or she is the one who will acknowledge whether you are the one or not after all you are riding on their platform and certainly they don’t want you to screw them over.
Never look at these guidelines as restriction and get frustrated over them. Instead, look at them as directions to help you streamline your post so that you can provide value to your readers.
After all, a person will only give you loyalty when you provide something in value to their life…
SEO
As much fun as optimizing content, building a search engine friendly website and getting familiar with the search engines guidelines, SEO do takes time to bring traffic to your website. But once you are there and as long s you continue your SEO effort, you will always be there.
If you are new with SEO, one of the things you can do is to submit your URL to AddMe. It is free and is able to submit your website to 20 search engines and directories like Google, Bigfinder, InfoTiger and more.
After you submit your URL, the directories will email you to ask you to confirm your email and you are to do that. After that, the directories will ask you whether you want to utilise them to submit your URL to more directories. It is entirely up to you whether to do it because some will require minimal service fee, some are free and of course, you will receive more emails
