Quick WordPress Websites for Beginners: Step 7
Adding Content That Attracts
So you've got your website up and running. Ready to go and waiting for traffic. Not so fast! It's essential for you to add great content that draws and keeps readers on your site. Here are some tips for you.
First Tip:
Write content that people are looking for and that is targeted to your website's purpose. Fill your website with high-quality information that serves a purpose and provides high value at the same time. People come to the internet looking for information, entertainment or to find the answer to a problem - do any combination of these three things on a regular basis and you're sure to have a hit on your hands.
Second Tip:
Decide with a clear set of goals what you want to use your website for. Will it be to draw traffic to a service? To make money through affiliate marketing? To sell your own products? Or a bit of all of the above.
Third Tip:
Get out there and let people know your website exists! I'm not going to cover the dozens and dozens of ways to get traffic here. You need to build a plan you can follow and one that works for you. But know this --> just because you build a website that doesn't mean people will automatically find it. You now need to shout it from the rooftops!
A few ways to get your website found are:
- Advertising
- Website Directories
- Leave Comments on Blogs
- Links from other sites
- Writing articles for other websites
- Link from your products
- Your Email Signature
- Social Media Sites like Twitter, Facebook, etc.
- Guest Blog at Popular Blogs
- Partner Up With another High Profile Website Owner
Set your goals, stick to them and you'll start to see your efforts pay off as you build a website that people love to come back to again and again.
So that's it for how to get your website going in seven days or less!
