3)Blog Posts
Publishing on your website relevant content that really helps your visitors is excellent for search engines. When you help your visitors to solve a problem with the info you are posting, or having a good time with your content is very likely the users will return and share your content as well.
4)Video Vlog
It is like a Blog, but instead of text, you post videos. If you want to go one step further, transcript all the content of your video, that helps a lot with SEO and some people like to read instead of watching videos.
5)Podcast
Sometimes we don’t have time to see a video or read an article, for example, when we are driving, working, or exercising. So comes in handy to have audio to offer to your audience.
There are different ways to do it, a monologue or an interview (radio show style), or simply you can extract the audio from a video and edit it a bit.
Share your podcast on your website is the idea, but you can also send all your podcasts to iTunes, Google Podcast, and Spotify.
6)SEO
SEO or Search Engine Optimization is about to get Organic or Non-Paid Traffic to your website, and the goal is to appear on the first positions of the search results on Google, Yahoo, Bing, and this is a very good way to get non-paid traffic, but takes time. If your website is on the first page results, the chances of getting more traffic are exponential.
Final thoughts
As you can see, there are a lot of ways to get traffic on your website. Start small, one at a time, this can be slow, but the rewards are excellent. More traffic means more customers and revenue for you.
