- eBooks
By the end of this article, you should be able to choose at least one that you want to focus on.
Blogging
Blogging is the most crucial factor when building traffic to your website. As the saying goes, content is king. If you have not noticed, even the biggest corporations have blogs.
To make your blog work and drive traffic to your website, consider the following:
- Quality – your blog posts must be written in the same way that a professional does; check your grammar and syntax, and make sure you write in a manner that befits your niche.
- Length – gone are the days when it was alright to publish blog articles that were only 300 words in length. At a minimum, you must write at least 1,000 words per article.
- Headline – your blog post must have a title that is attractive or interesting; this is the first thing people see in Google search results.
- Value – the content of your blog post must be helpful; it should address questions and solve problems rather than talking about your personal experience.
- SEO – you can never undermine the power of SEO; this includes using the right keywords so the search engines know what your blog post is about.
A blog is still the ultimate source of free traffic. It is the only thing that can really build your credibility on the internet.

Social Media Marketing
This refers to the actions you do on Facebook, Instagram, and other social media channels. In social media marketing, you are trying to reach out to people by posting photos, quotes, and inspirational content.
The difference between social media and blogs is that social media posts are usually photo-oriented. These are eye-candy, and your goal is to get someone’s attention as he is scrolling down his feed.
Social shares can help boost your website traffic as you grow your followers and subscribers. The great thing about social media is you can grow your fan base without advertising. On the other hand, you can advertise if you have an online store.
Social media is great if you have ideas for viral and guerilla marketing. On this platform, your main focus is not leaning towards learning but creating posts that appeal to a person’s emotions.
You can also post your blogs on social media, but make sure you use clear and attractive images, along with great headlines.
Video Marketing
This works like a blog, but it is reserved for the kind of audience who do not want to read. There are millions of people who would rather watch a video than read a blog post.
With video content, you can show demonstrations and tutorials while you are doing it yourself. You can do a screencast to let people see how you are using a software or tool. As you grow your subscriber base, you also grow your credibility.
Video marketing is great if:
- You are not camera shy
- You are good at public speaking
- You know how to edit videos or you have the budget to pay someone do it
- You want to drive traffic to your blog and monetize this traffic
While this is effective, it is much more difficult to do because you need to shoot and edit the video. Also, the only popular platform today is YouTube, so you do not really have much choice.
