Have you picked a niche and built your websites and blogs but find that no one is visiting to see your amazing work? Are you tired of posting good content that nobody ever reads or views? Fear not! Here we will explain some effective techniques for building traffic and gaining loyal followers to your site.

A great way to start is to visit similar blogs and websites in your niche. Think of it as joining a community. You need to interact and build a respectful acquaintance with others who have similar sites. Why? Because commenting and interacting with your niche community will build trust and keep you informed about new developments and products in your niche. Once you have established a relationship with some of the members of your niche community, you can ask to join their blog roll or post links to their sites in return for a link to yours. It’s a win-win situation, and you will find that most site owners are ready and willing to trade favors in this way.

Another way to build traffic is to set up Facebook pages for your websites or blogs and post links to your content frequently. Don’t spam your personal Facebook page with your content or you will find yourself losing real friends. Facebook pages are are great way to build traffic and find new followers. Make sure the Facebook page name reflects the niche market in some way so that people searching for your niche’s most popular keywords will find you. The page name can be a whole sentence, just make it clear and on topic for the site you are promoting.

Don’t forget about Twitter! Tweet each post or any new content or products you are promoting. Also, take your most popular posts from the past and tweet them again every few months. They were popular for a reason so try again and see if your traffic picks up afterward. Chances are, it will increase. Pinterest is another site with huge potential. You will need to post images from your site but not the product links themselves. Pinterest images always have a link back to the original site. Pretty nice for Internet marketers, huh? The images will attract visitors to your site where they will find your fabulous content, ads and products.

My final, but most important, tip is to review and upgrade your content. If people aren’t responding to your articles, mix it up a bit and post some images or a video. Don’t make every post about selling something. People want good information or entertainment, and if all they see on your page is ads, you don’t stand a chance. Offer the best quality content you can. If you can’t write it yourself, consider outsourcing that part and pay someone else with better writing skills to do the work for you. It will be worthwhile in the end.

Start interacting with your niche market to make some friends and find some followers. Use social media as a way to promote your sites and products. Update your content with useful and interesting posts on a regular basis. If you practice these simple steps you should see a steady increase in traffic that will make your Internet marketing efforts really pay off!
