They don\u2019t have any money to invest.

This is not so.

And why should you focus on them? Here\u2019s how the guys at Yoast describe it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>&#8220;The longer (and more specific) search terms are, the easier it will be to rank on the term. Keywords that are more specific (and often longer) are usually referred to as long tail search terms. Long tail keywords are more specific and less common. They focus more on a niche.<\/p><p>It\u2019s much easier to rank for long tail keywords than for more common keywords. Another benefit for focussing on long tail keywords is that, although these keywords are used less in search, the visitor that finds your website using them is more likely to buy your service or product.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"364\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/keyword-planner-1.jpg\" alt=\"keyword planner 1\" class=\"wp-image-2786\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/keyword-planner-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/keyword-planner-1-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/keyword-planner-1-150x85.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/ads.google.com\/home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Google Adwords<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Once you\u2019ve selected the keywords you\u2019d like to create content for, now it\u2019s time to test them for competition.<\/strong> And there\u2019s no better tool for this than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/aclk?sa=l&amp;ai=DChcSEwiu1MyXttH7AhUjkmYCHfY7DoQYABAAGgJzbQ&amp;sig=AOD64_2CctLysyA6jBn_AQtN55yx4FI4CA&amp;q&amp;adurl&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiVgsaXttH7AhUZTWwGHRQ5D04Q0Qx6BAgJEAE\">Google\u2019s Keyword Planner<\/a>.

Everybody Loves A Good Guest<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Guest blogging is an effective way to increase website traffic, though it might take some time to see results. When you\u2019re just starting out on your website or blog, it may be difficult to attract users via organic channels, no matter how good the quality of your content is. This is because search engines consider factors like how old the domain is. Also, how much content the website has in total in its ranking algorithm, amongst other factors. Other than paying for traffic, there\u2019s little you can do to remedy this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A great way to get your blog started off on the right foot is by guest posting on other popular blogs that are related to yours. This will not only generate interest in your own blog but also help you get a feel for the blogging community that you\u2019re seeking to enter. Once you\u2019ve built up a rapport with other bloggers, you can then allow them to guest post on your blog &#8211; giving both of your blogs a great boost in traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The popular social media scheduling app Buffer relied heavily on guest posting as part of its initial promotion strategy. Eventually, they acquired up to 100,000 users just from it and established themselves as one of the industry\u2019s leading blogs in the process. Here\u2019s what Leo Widrich, the co-founder of Buffer, said &#8211;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>&#8220;We have built an internal analytics dashboard that would show us how many signups we are getting every day and where they are coming from. There was nothing else we did, literally. Just guest blogging.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>A more recent example is when Alex Turnbull, CEO and founder of Groove, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.groovehq.com\/blog\/guest-blogging\">explained how guest blogging<\/a> across other popular blogs such as Buffer, KISSmetrics, OnStartups, and AngelHack helped them reach over 1 million people:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>&#8220;There\u2019s no faster or cheaper way to reach massive audiences than guest blogging. By leveraging existing audiences in a way that delivers value, you create opportunities for exponential growth.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>You must be wondering why anyone would accept my guest post when no one even knows me? Well, start small. Instead of reaching out to the big guys right at the start, go ahead and pitch great stories to smaller blogs first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can start with a simple cold email. Just be sure to follow some <a href=\"https:\/\/quickmail.com\/cold-email\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cold email<\/a> strategies and best practices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have a few published blog posts under your belt, pitch to bigger, more established blogs and show them where you\u2019ve been published before. It often works as a rite of passage where bloggers become more receptive to your pitches when they know that your posts have already been accepted and published elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-7-create-a-few-things-for-posterity\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Create_A_Few_Things_For_Posterity\"><\/span><strong>7.

Basically, the posts that are clearly a cut above the rest. These posts usually go on to become authority pieces in their concerned subjects that other people love to link to\u2014thereby increasing their value as time goes by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Some people like to call this \u201cevergreen\u201d content<\/b>, which as the name suggests, is something largely immune to the passing of time because of the way that content is created. The <a href=\"http:\/\/moz.com\/beginners-guide-to-seo\">Beginner&#8217;s Guide to SEO from Moz<\/a> is an excellent example of evergreen content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For comparison, consider this: A post such as \u201cTop 10 Celebrity Moments at the Oscars 2015\u201d will see heightened reader interest during a specific, brief period of time before it becomes irrelevant. Now compare this with something like, \u201c100 Most Gripping Crime Drama Movies Ever Made,\u201d and you\u2019ll instantly notice the appeal and longevity of the latter. Sure, it takes more effort to create such content, but it yields better returns in terms of user interest, in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from just user interest, longer posts also have an SEO advantage, as explained in <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.serpiq.com\/how-important-is-content-length-why-data-driven-seo-trumps-guru-opinions\/\">this post on the serpIQ blog<\/a>.

Not really, right? So why would you want to do that with content? Kristina Halvorson, author of the book <a href=\"http:\/\/contentstrategy.com\/\"><i>Content Strategy For The Web<\/i><\/a>, defines content strategist as a person who defines not only which content will be published but also why it is published in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want more traffic or more sales or really more anything on the web, you have to put on your content strategist hat and start thinking about the what, why, who, and how of every piece of content that you create, lest it all be in vain. So think about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>What you\u2019re creating.<\/li><li>Why you\u2019re creating it.<\/li><li>Who you\u2019re creating it for.<\/li><li>How will you promote it.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, this is a bit of an oversimplification, as getting into too much detail about content strategy is beyond the scope of this post, but here\u2019s an <a href=\"http:\/\/contentmarketinginstitute.com\/developing-a-strategy\/\">expansive guide <\/a>on<a href=\"http:\/\/contentmarketinginstitute.com\/developing-a-strategy\/\"> content strategy from the Content Marketing Institute<\/a> if you\u2019re serious about making your content efforts count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>If content strategy is the information inside a book, design is the cover that everyone judges it by. <\/b>A bad design experience can single-handedly fail an otherwise good website. With technologies like HTML5 and CSS3, today\u2019s responsive designs are a far cry from those used just a few years ago. So whether your website is new or if it\u2019s been around a while, it could probably do with a facelift if you haven\u2019t given it one yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, the quality of what you get depends entirely on how much you\u2019re willing to spend, but the two broad options are to either get a custom design or use a pre-designed template. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for something bespoke and don\u2019t mind loosening your purse strings, you could have <a href=\"http:\/\/dribbble.com\/designers\">freelance web designers<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.codeandtheory.com\/\">professional design agencies<\/a> to create something specific to your brief. If you\u2019re looking for pre-designed templates, online marketplaces such as <a href=\"http:\/\/themeforest.net\/\">ThemeForest<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.templatemonster.com\/\">Template Monster<\/a> have you covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"365\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/theme-forest.jpg\" alt=\"theme forest\" class=\"wp-image-2784\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/theme-forest.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/theme-forest-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/theme-forest-150x86.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lastly, remember that the devil is in the details.<\/strong> For instance, posts with social sharing buttons <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brightedge.com\/2011-09-01-brightedge-September-social-share\">receive up to 7x more mentions<\/a>, but paradoxically, having too many buttons <a href=\"http:\/\/www.searchenginejournal.com\/too-many-social-media-sharing-buttons-make-your-site-less-social\/48240\/\">can have the opposite effect<\/a>. So get into a growth hacking mindset and always be on the lookout for the little changes you can make which have big results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-9-regularly-check-website-traffic\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Regularly_Check_Website_Traffic\"><\/span><strong>9. <strong>Regularly Check Website Traffic<\/strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The general rule of thumb is to check website traffic once a day to avoid getting frustrated by traffic spikes and then deliberately ignoring it for a week. The reason for checking the traffic is to understand what is working and what can be improved to increase traffic. The deeper the insight, the better the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you find something that isn&#8217;t working, you can adjust it or get rid of it. When you find something that is working, you should try to improve it or do more of it. Website traffic gives you valuable feedback that can help you get more customers. More customers mean more profit, so traffic monitoring is really important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>So, which networks should you distribute your content on? And how?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>(a) Email list:<\/strong> If you haven\u2019t already, give people the option to subscribe to your blog updates via email. You can use services like Aweber and Mailchimp to set up your email newsletters, and if you\u2019re looking for something simple and basic\u2014even Feedburner will do. Offering free e-books and email courses are a great way to build your email list when you\u2019re just starting out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>(b) Facebook:<\/strong> Facebook is usually the largest source of social traffic for most blogs and websites. And although it now charges money to promote your content, there are still open and closed groups for specific communities where people interact on a daily basis. These are good places to promote your website, provided that you\u2019re actually posting something of value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>(d) Twitter:<\/strong> Unless you already have 100,000 followers on Twitter (congratulations if you do), just throwing a tweet out there about your new post isn&#8217;t going to really break the internet. Instead, try to think of Twitter as a medium to reach the right people and somehow get them on your side. Having a influencer retweet your tweet has a multiplier effect. Other than this, you should also regularly re-post older content from your blog on Twitter, with slightly altered headlines each time, this helps you get more out of the same content, and increases readership by reaching those who may have missed it the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>(e) Discovery and bookmarking sites:<\/strong> Websites like Pinterest, StumbleUpon, Digg, and Delicious allow users to bookmark, discover, and share interesting content across many different subjects ranging from astronomy to fashion. Whenever you create something new, be sure to submit it to these websites so that your content has higher chances of being discovered by users online. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.searchenginejournal.com\/50-social-bookmarking-sites-importance-of-user-generated-tags-votes-and-links\/\">Here are 50 more such websites<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>(f) Communities:<\/strong> Online communities like subreddits in Reddit, Triberr, Inbound.org, GrowthHackers, Google+ communities, LinkedIn groups, Hacker News, and others are great places to reach a large number of people, but you have to be careful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Blatant peddling of your own brand is almost universally frowned upon and on moderated communities such as Reddit, it can even lead to bans.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid this, always aim to post the right content in the right community, so for instance, don\u2019t post cat gifs in r\/startups (no matter how good the gifs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>(g) Directories:<\/strong> Blog directories such as Alltop and Technorati can help new blogs gain audience, get more targeted traffic, and generate high-quality backlinks. Here\u2019s a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shoutmeloud.com\/verified-blog-directories-free-blog-listing.html\">list of 131+ such blog directories<\/a> you can submit your blog to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Can you automate this and make it less tedious? Yes! <\/b>Once you have these basics in place, you should move on to scheduling your content distribution by using services such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/bufferapp.com\/\">Buffer App<\/a> and even further simplify the process for yourself by using task automation apps such as <a href=\"https:\/\/ifttt.com\/\">IFTTT<\/a> and Zapier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-10-don-t-be-a-rookie-get-expert-help\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Dont_Be_A_Rookie_Get_Expert_Help\"><\/span><strong>10. Don\u2019t Be A Rookie, Get Expert Help<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the beginning, when you\u2019re still in process of establishing your own online presence, it pays to be noticed by or be seen associating with industry experts. It helps build your credibility and join the conversation. And by this, I don\u2019t mean sending people unsolicited LinkedIn request asking them to do you this favour and that favour. I\u2019m talking about a symbiotic relationship where both parties stand to gain something from each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason this is the last point in this post is because, ideally, your blog should have its basics in place and be appealing enough for someone to consider associating with before you go around pitching. Here are a few ideas how you can use the influence of others to your advantage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Round-ups<\/b><strong>:<\/strong> Pick a subject that matters deeply to a certain category of people, for instance, revenue matters to publishers, and nutrition matters to fitness freaks. Now make a list of people who talk extensively about said subjects and are widely seen as experts in their fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve done that, it\u2019s time to frame your concept. \u201cWe Asked 15 Top Bloggers What You Can Do To Increase <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/january-ad-revenue-drop-what-to-do-about-it\/\">Ad Revenue<\/a> In 2015, Here\u2019s What They Said\u201d and \u201c10 Fitness Experts Weigh In On The Cardio Vs. Weights Debate\u201d are examples of story concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, start emailing the experts on the list you made using the <a href=\"https:\/\/stripo.email\/blog\/confirmation-of-appointment-email-samples\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">email template<\/a>, explaining your story concept, and eliciting their response. Though you won\u2019t have a 100% response rate, with some luck, you should have enough material for a stellar post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Quote posts:<\/strong> This is similar to round-ups, except instead of asking the experts for responses, you search for what they&#8217;ve already said or written previously about a particular subject, and compile the list in one post. Once you have published the story, send all the experts that you&#8217;ve quoted a brief email stating that you have quoted something they said in a post and would love it if they could share it on their social networks. In most cases (it may take follow-ups), people oblige.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Interviews:<\/strong> Last but definitely not the least, conduct interesting interviews. A couple of formats are always a hit with people such as success stories and tell all interviews. Great interviews always have universal themes with multiple takeaways that readers can apply to their own life situation, or at least be inspired by, which increases its sharability.
