The question came up in the HubSpot customer forums today about choosing a blog topic. A fellow HubSpot customer wanted to know how to choose topics to write about. That's a struggle I know all too well.
The fabulous Erin Colbert suggested we look at our keywords in the HubSpot keyword grader and choose the low-hanging fruit to build a blog post around. Thanks for the great idea Erin!
Here are 5 ways you can increase website traffic:
1. Focus your website content on keywords related to your target market. For better SEO make sure you place your keywords in the relevant places on your page.
2. Put a freebie on your site for visitors to download and give away to others if they wish. Write an ebook or have your virtual assistant help you prepare one if your time is limited.
3. Start a blog and be sure to add to it regularly. Stale blogs bring no traffic.
4. Comment on the blogs of people in your target market. If you leave an intelligent comment with a link to your website then people might follow it to find out more about you. Try to be one of the first commenters.
5. Promote your website through your participation in social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and forums.
