The best Internet marketing consultants know that making a blog successful (or any other content) isn’t about just writing it. No matter how well an article has written if you don’t have a solid plan on getting it out. It would be all for naught. Nobody will see it, and that would be a waste of time, money, and effort. And all of that comes from you.
How do you grow organic traffic for your site? It’s not easy but not as complicated as other people would say. It boils down to knowing your market and just making sure you know what you want to get out of your content. Be it reach, conversion or anything else. Knowing what you want to get out of it makes it easier for you and anyone else you are working on the project.
Here are ways to improve your ranking on your own (or with the help of an SEO Expert)
The Right Topic for the Right Market
Picking the right topic will show your audience that not only do you know your industry well, you will also demonstrate how much you know consumers. Make it relevant, interesting and consistently topical.
Shareability is a factor that makes people shared your content in various social media platforms. The more people see that your content is useful or interesting, the more chances it will go viral. Once shared, other people might end up doing the same. It will potentially snowball into new followers that can be converted to revenue. That’s what you call going viral.
Shares is an important ranking factor that Google uses for it’s ranking feature. The more the article is shared, the more it is considered to be valuable and engaging.
Another important factor is the content has to be interesting. Not in a generic way, where it’s something that everyone knows already. Common knowledge is not interesting. It might even turn people off. Talk about the specific topic in a knowledgeable way and don’t be afraid to share insider information. Relating specific or even niche info inspires confidence and can be a factor in judging your site to have high authority (another Google ranking factor). Just make sure to learn to use the right keyword related to your topic. People search by keywords and that is probably the best way to come up with what to write or make.
The most difficult aspect of content creation is making something that will last or be relevant over time. Meaning no matter how much time has passed, what you made is still pertinent to people. For people to feel like sharing it even after a long period of time would do wonders for your ranking because Page Age is a really strong factor that Google uses.
Be Social
Like what was pointed out earlier, shares mean a lot because it’s a huge ranking factor. But it doesn’t end there. Having great and shareable content doesn’t end there. You need to make sure that it’s spread to different platforms. Having more avenues to share just makes it easier for your content to spread.
Also utilize celebrity bloggers and influencers. They have great reach and have big fanbases already so coordinating with them to promote your content would spread it exponentially since most of their followers are very active and share a lot of their postings.
Boosting your Content
A lot of businesses become intimidated with the cost involved in promoting (or boosting) content. In a way, this is true because the larger the audience, the higher the cost involved in boosting. There is no such thing as free or cheap promotion so you should seriously consider paying to have your more engaging content broadcast prominently in different social media platforms. We’re not saying that you should boost every single post that you have, just that ones that are being shared a lot already or have high engagement with your audience. That is a telling sign that it’s interesting and would be worthy of paid promotion.
