6 Outside of the Box Strategies For Growing Your Website Traffic

Many people often times share their website or project and ask me how they can bring more traffic to it. Well, no two websites are the same so there are always different ways to drive traffic to a website.

However, every website owner can integrate a few unique strategies to create more awareness and draw more traffic to their websites. In this post, I share 6 outside of the box strategies for growing your website traffic:

1. Start A Blog 

Whether you’re an e-commerce website or a web application, you should always be blogging. By creating good content, you’ll create another way for your website to be found. Starting a blog has become easier than ever with the tools and resources available on the internet nowadays.

You can write blog posts yourself or you can outsource it by hiring someone competent enough to create good content. As long as your content is informative and provides knowledge to others, you’ll be taking the right steps to driving more traffic to your website.

2. Be On Podcasts 

One of the best ways I was able to drive traffic to my websites was by being everywhere. I took the opportunity to appear on podcasts, get featured on blog posts and get interviewed by popular influencers.

Find podcasts or interviewers that are in the same industry/niche you are in, reach out to them and see if there’s anyway you can get involved. Use that time to expose your name, brand and personality to this audience. This is a great way for you to drive more traffic to your website.

3. Post In Forums

Every industry or niche has forums where people are consistently engaging. Find these forums, create an account and provide value. Don’t be one of those individuals that constantly mention their own brand and continue to sell their products or services. Instead, be someone who provides value and has your own website information in your signature.

If people find value in your posts and answers, they’ll automatically check out what your website is about. That’s an easy, but effective way to drive traffic to your website. When driving traffic, you don’t want quantity but rather quality traffic.

4. Host A Webinar 

Some webinars charge money while others are hosted for free. If you want to drive more traffic and create more awareness for your website, host a webinar for free. Ask your followers to join you in your webinar and motivate them to share it.

People love free things. If people think they can get some kind of value out of something, they’ll absolutely take it especially when it’s free. Host a webinar on a topic that you’re an expert on and utilize your knowledge to promote your brand.

5. Utilize Quora 

Create a profile on Quora and start engaging in relevant industries and niches. When creating your profile, you should write a witty description and connect your web links. From there, search for and follow other influencers in your space.

After that, you’ll get a feed filled with questions that Quora thinks you’ll be able to answer. Take that time to find questions you can provide great expertise on and your profile will automatically show up with your answer. If users find value in your answers, they’ll be more prone to clicking your web link to see what it’s about.

6. Create A Community 

One of the best ways to drive a lot of traffic to your website is to build a community. A friend of mine was selling a product for eBook writers, but he was struggling to drive traffic to his website. He decided to create a community on Facebook by making a group where authors could promote their books to one another on the day of launch to boost their rankings.

He built this community and invited every author he could find to join. Authors saw a great value in this and it didn’t take much convincing to get them to join. From there, everyone knew that my friend was the Admin and the Manager of the community where he took time to let everyone know who he was and what he did. His traffic to his website went up by 12x within 3 months of starting this community.
