Traffic generation tips

1. Quora

I know, now you might be saying that “I am already familiar with this platform. In fact, I am already using it to bring traffic” but let me asking you a question.

How much traffic is driving to your blog?

Now you might be saying 50 or 100 per day sometimes more than 100. But let me tell you what by my techniques of using quora. You can drive traffic to more than 1000 visitors daily.

Note: this is not an overnight success trick. You need to work hard to gain those numbers. But I assure you that if you do you will get guaranteed success.

So let's begin with how to use quora effectively to drive 10x more traffic.

Most basic tip

I know you know only one or two ways to drive traffic from Quora is to write a long answer and link your articles to it.

But wait, this is not just the only way to drive traffic to quora. Let me give you some surprising facts about quora.

Do you know how popular it is? according to Alexa, it is ranked 71 in U.S. and 79 in the world.

 

Most active users on quora are from U.S and India. See this pie chart.

Most educated users are from quora. don’t believe it? See this

According to similarweb, quoras monthly traffic is …

Quora's traffic is referral traffic.

Now, my method of using quora

The answer template

Quora answer templates are way too easy to make  and upload on quora as your answer and get traffic to your website.

Answer templates are nothing but small pieces of information containing images and links

When we give an answer on quora what we all do is- write a long answer add images and links and our answer get collapsed on next day on quora and all our becomes a complete waste.

Instead of them create answer templates

Now let's see how to create them

First of all, I will be using google docs to create them. You can use even Microsoft word to create answer templates.

Go on quora try to look for questions that users are asking. If you find a relevant question and if you think you can answer it. Then go for it.

create an image or a thumbnail for your answer template so you can attract more readers to your quora answer. You can create it online using a graphic design tool like canvas. 

After creating the image now write the answer directly. Here directly means try to write a short but informative answer so it won't waste the reader's time.

And now the final and important step add a link while writing the answer on quora don’t stuff that answer with many links try to add just one link at a time and don’t do link spamming.

Otherwise, you will get banned from quora.

2. Pinterest

Yes, Pinterest.

I would like to come out and say- Pinterest is the most underrated search engine.

It has more than 2 billion searches every month. Pinterest is not just about images. It's actually more than just images.

Pinterest is a search engine in itself. Just like Google, Bing, and yahoo, it has an algorithm.

·      freelance business

Just like every other search engine, you just type in a query and you will be served with different results.

Step #1

First things first- you need to create an account on Pinterest and fully optimize your profile.

Convert your normal account into a business account. If you haven’t, already.

Go to https://business.pinterest.com/en/ and you will see a form like this.

 

Step #2

Now you need to create high-quality pins( images) for your boards.

By the way, what are boards?

Boards are nothing but the house of your different category pins. You can organize your pins using boards.

As I said, again you can create high-quality pins using canva or picmonkey. Or you can use pics from pixabay or other stock image websites.

Step #3

Optimized pins- always make sure you use optimized pins for your boards. So you can be found on Pinterest.

Here's what I mean

Assume you created a pin now it time to upload but while uploading what you can do is link your pin to your blog.

 

3. SlideShare

SlideShare is one of the most powerful content distribution online tool. According to research done by column five media, it says that online presentations can work for any type of business.

SlideShare has over 60 million visitors. Being a content creator, you can't afford to miss this much traffic.

SlideShare drives 500% more targeted leads than Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook. You see now how much SlideShare is effective.

Now, let's see…

How to get started with SlideShare presentations

Before getting started you need a plan of action. Basically, you need to...

·      Search for topic

·      Know about the topic deeply

·      Look for market trends about the topic

 

A. Creating compelling slides

Like any other serious bloggers, if you also want to drive traffic to your blog from Slideshare.

 Then, my friend, you must create compelling slides. Otherwise, you won't be able to make any traffic.

steps for creating killer presentation

Step #1: use your own blog post

yes, this technique is called content repurpose or republish. Do not ever steal someone's blog content and create your SlideShare.

If you do then the content owner might claim your content as copyright.

The best way to use others content to drive traffic to the blog by using other's content is by giving them proper credit.

This will be a win-win situation

step #2: Converting your blog post into an outline

Now here comes the main thing.

Now, what's that?

That is editing-ruthlessly. We have to do most of the hard work here. Till down to the bones. We can publish anything on SlideShare and expect thousands of visitors to visit our blog.

It would be stupidity.

Transform every part of your blog into a likable presentation.

·      Title

·      Headings

·      Call-to-actions

Literally, everything.

When you are converting your blog post into a presentation make sure you keep it...

·      Simple but beautiful

·      Short to make it interesting but long enough to cover the essentials

·      Punchy

·      Don’t forget to add keywords in your presentation

Let me tell you one thing if you want to be found on google, bing, yahoo, or any other search engine.

Don’t forget to include optimized(targeted) keywords in

·      Title

·      Description

·      Headings

·      Tags

·      Slides(obviously)

Always remember more keywords mean more discoverability. But that doesn’t mean you do keyword stuffing.

Never ever do that it’s a bad signal in the eyes of search engines.

B. Use the right images

This can be either the time-consuming or the most interesting part of the presentation. It all depends on your mindset and how you look at it.

And yes, don’t forget to pay attention on copyright infringement. It is something you shouldn’t be messing up with.

Images are something that can make or break your presentation. When you add them together it looks cool and amazing? But don’t mess it up.

Again, you can use can canva to create infographics and images.

If you can’t create or don’t want to waste time creating images then you can use other images but only by giving them proper credits.

C. Add call-to-action

Don’t forget to add a call to action in the end. Anyways In the end all you want is to let the user to...

·      Come to your blog

·      Subscribe to your email list

·      Become a member of your private Facebook group

·      follow you on social media

As you can see in the below image. How call-to-action is added in their last presentation.

These are some of the amazing tips to create a compelling SlideShare.

4. Facebook groups

There is gold laying in Facebook groups. If you ignore them then you haven’t explored facebook fully yet.

I know Facebook groups can be annoying. People start facebook for one-day events and even parties.

Buts that’s not true-fully.

Facebook groups are more about sharing knowledge, experiences, and life’s amazing experiences.

All you have to do is search for your niche-related groups in the search box and then the following results will appear.

Like this.

Let's take for example your niche is web development.

So, let's search for web development. And let the following results appear

As you can see in the above image. The number of people in the groups is high. It means you have a high potential to gain traffic to your site.

You see. Why are you waiting for? hit the join button and become part of the following communities.

And then here comes the main part.

Share your content.

But let me tell you one thing you will be kicked out!

Yes, you read it right. You will be kicked if you start spamming in that group. We all know everyone hates spamming. So does the group admin.

The best way to gain traffic is to first answer some questions.

Then start sharing your content.

Conclusion

These are some of the best and verified ways of getting traffic. These traffic hacks are not overnight schemes. It means that these techniques will take some time to show their results.

So, you have to be patient while applying these techniques. And let me know in the comment about your experience while using these tricks.
