I am always encouraging writers to create their own website for two reasons:
It gives you PRESENCE. It is a space your fans and followers can visit, to keep in touch, find out what you're up to and purchase your products and services.
Your website is also a key component in growing your email list. You should have a dedicated "my newsletter" page, a dedicated "giveaway" page and one or more landing pages.
HOWEVER ... one of the BIG challenges for many website owners is getting traffic. How do you go from a brand new website with zero traffic to a website that gets hundreds if not thousands of daily visitors?
Over the years, I've built hundreds of Wordpress websites, for my clients and for myself. Like you, I started each and every website with a zero visitor count. BUT because I have a process, I have built many of my sites up to thousands and tens of thousands of visitors a DAY.
There is NO SECRET ... just a bit of know how and some daily persistence. A bit of money can help, but is not necessary.
To Help YOU Get More Traffic
I Am Giving Away Free Silver Memberships in
The TRAFFIC GENERATION CLUB
I've watched all the videos and there is some good solid information here that will have you building steady traffic to your site. Be sure to have paper and pen ready, and take loads of notes. You'll want to end up with an actionable list of thing you will do to get traffic.
Just a bit of a warning. This series is produced by Promote Labs ... masters of promotional marketing. Once you join, they will take you through FOUR additional offers. Just scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on NO THANKS (unless you actually want what they are selling).
I DO suggest getting the GOLD membership. It is WELL worth the $10 price tag. I'd have paid that just for one of the bonuses.
Enough said. If you want to get more traffic to your website, you need to spread your efforts over at least six different traffic generating methods. This course tells you what and how.
The Silver membership is FREE, with no strings attached. The Gold membership is $10 and well worth the price.
