to Generate Traffic to Your Startup&#8217;s Website"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>If you&#8217;re reading this article, you are probably a startup entrepreneur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have big dreams and aspirations for your company, but the question is how do you get people to notice what you are doing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of us start off with excitement and end up feeling the pressure of running out of resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting a business from scratch can be really tough when it comes to generating traffic because there isn&#8217;t any proof that your product or service will work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are 10 proven techniques to drive traffic to your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"build-a-glossary\">Build a Glossary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no better way to generate traffic for your startup than to create a glossary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A glossary is a collection of terms and concepts around your product or service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It helps to educate visitors about what you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the large number of people that visit any given site, it is worth investing resources into informing them about what you offer in a way that is compelling, original and useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if your startup offers digital marketing services, you could build a glossary of digital marketing terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"create-high-quality-videos\">Create High Quality Videos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A video can create up to 40% of a website\u2019s front-page value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Videos get 1.6x more shares than links and so are especially important for generating quality traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are 80% more likely to be viewed than text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re a bootstrapping startup or an established enterprise, you can create a ton of traffic with a single YouTube video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When looking for a video to feature on our blog, it became clear very quickly that creating videos was more important than thinking about tactics and strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Really focus on making something that people want to click on, rather than thinking about how to drive people to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s not worth it to spend time on something which isn&#8217;t going to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"host-webinars\">Host Webinars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Constant exposure is the most effective way to validate your business idea, and there is no better way to get the word out than through webinars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is worth it to pay a few bucks to host a webinar if it can help you reach a wider audience and help you build your credibility as an expert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the reasons why I believe in webinars:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>It gives you an opportunity to reach thousands of people in a short period of time.<\/li><li>It generates quality leads<\/li><li>It gives you the ability to show that you are an expert in your niche.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also repurpose the content from your webinar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Content repurposing ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Blog posts<\/li><li>Instagram posts<\/li><li>Twitter posts<\/li><li>YouTube videos<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So, as you can see, creating a webinar is definitely worth your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"guest-posting\">Guest Posting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Guest posting on other websites is a great way to acquire targeted traffic and influential followers for your startup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This process is also referred as &#8220;guest blogging&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guest posting has many benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Being visible on other websites<\/li><li>Attracting new visitors to your page<\/li><li>Increase in backlinks to your site<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you write high quality content, you can easily guest post on other websites in your niche, by simply sending them an email and asking them if they are interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A great way to find blogs that accept guest posts in your niche, is to Google the name of your niche, followed by &#8220;guest posts&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s important that you include the quotation marks around guest posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is an example: travel &#8220;guest posts&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then all of the search results will be travel related blogs that accept guest posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

of more people, which will increase brand exposure and visits to your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"publish-list-posts\">Publish List Posts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lists are incredibly engaging and shareable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People love reading lists because as a reader, you know what you&#8217;re getting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Readers are much more likely to share list posts to social media, and they are also more likely to click onto search results that have numbers in the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have published many lists to this blog, here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a

information, and easily digestible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"reduce-your-bounce-rate\">Reduce Your Bounce Rate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The bounce rate is the percentage of users who leave a webpage without taking an action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the pages on your website have a high bounce rate, there may be a problem with your content, or the website itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A high bounce rate will negatively

are many ways that you can share your website content to social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, when you publish a new post you can simply share a link to your social media pages, but there are also many more ways that you can use social media to get more website traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are 5 things that I do to increase my website traffic using social media:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Turn
