One of the first things that you’re going to think about as you get your new site built and populated with good content is whether or not the site will catch the traffic and how to make it do so. Getting your traffic up to snuff is the most important part of getting your new site off the ground and making it pay off. How do you accomplish that task and do it in a way that doesn’t take months and months to do?
For the most part, the first steps are going to be the same no matter what kind of site that you are building. You will put up the content that you have ready and having done so, you’ll meta tag and tag and add descriptions and keywords to the posts or articles in order that they are visible in any search engine that you might be considering. Having done all of those things, what is your next step in getting the site moving forward so that it is selling the products that you need to move in order to help your business and your website to grow.
Social media sites are one of the best ways to accomplish growth and visibility. Sites such as
Pinterest
Flickr
Facebook
Wooxie
Twitter
LInkvine
Reddit
Squidoo
and others are going to help you to market your site in ways that won’t cost the earth but let you connect with other people who may be ready to buy what you are selling. When it comes to creating a market and keeping the traffic for return visits, one of the best ways for you to do it will be social media. Try out all of the new and older social media sites, keep the ones that are working for you and discard the rest.
