Promote your New Blog Post for Quick Traffic
Your hours of hard work spent in crafting out a fantastic post is useless if there’s nobody to see it. Correct ain’t I?
Be it a new blog or an old one, every blogger needs traffic. Traffic will directly bring you conversions which ultimately makes your website profitable for you.
Today I am going to show 15 Websites that I use on a daily basis to get targeted visitors to my new blog posts.
1. Facebook Groups
Facebook is the largest social media platform to promote your posts. You may have shared your post on Facebook before, but you may not be following the correct strategy.
If you want to get targeted traffic using Facebook you need to figure out your target audience first. So if I am blogging under the Technology niche, I should be promoting my post in a group that focuses on Technology solely and not a Fitness or a Dating one.
Steps to follow while promoting a post on Facebook –
- Make sure your post has a catchy headline
- Make sure you are targeting the right bunch of people
- Try to make your profile prominent by helping others in the Group before sharing your article
- Do not spam and get yourself banned :p
