Over the past few months, I’ve made a conscious effort to increase traffic to my website. My hard work as paid off and I’m super excited to share how that worked out with you today!
Let me start off by saying that business growth has always been my top priority and higher website traffic is just a channel for bringing in business.
Although my website didn’t experience any “hockey stick” style growth, it DID increase by nearly 30% in less than four months. Page views to my website were UP in April, an increase of 9.5% mo/mo from the month before. That’s something to be proud of!
In this post, I’m going to explain why I care so much about increasing my website traffic and also show you what I did to get these kind of results. I hope to show you that with the right strategies, anyone can increase traffic to their websites and get serious results - without selling their first born child in the process.
Let’s take a look.
What comes to mind when you hear the words "social media"?
Do you think about how much fun it can be to grow an audience on the platform of your choosing? How great it is to show off your products/services for free (or low cost)? How awesome it is to interact with your audience on a daily basis and see how they are engaging with your brand?
Or, on the flip side, do you get overwhelmed with how much of social media relies on pre-scheduling? Feel defeated whenever you see accounts growing faster than yours? Or get frustrated trying to maintain a picture-perfect aesthetic?
Trust me, we all experience feelings on every end of the spectrum when it comes to social media.
Social media is a powerful tool that holds an enormous amount of weight in your website's marketing efforts, but it doesn't come easy. It takes a lot of time and effort to build and maintain a strategic profile no matter which social media platform you're on.
But believe me when I tell you that social media is one of the greatest ways to drive traffic back to your website and support your business efforts. It just takes a bit of know-how!
