55 ways to get more traffic to your website

If you have a website, chances are you’d like more people to see it.

And with today’s ever-growing information overload, it can beharder than ever to stand out.

That’s why I created this list of 55 ways you can get more traffic to your website.

(Funny enough, I started writing this before I realized I’d posted about this very thing in June 2007. Traffic never goes out of style.)

Here we go!

1. Create a podcast. I love podcasting. My podcast currently gets 1,500 – 4,000 downloads per episode. Not bad. (Side note: I am creating a course on podcasting. You can sign up for thewait list here.)

2. Pin your blog posts (with compelling pictures) on Pinterest.

3. Answer questions on Quora. (For example, when I posted this response, I got more Twitter followers.)

4. Create awesome free content that people can share. Make sure it includes links back to your website.

5. Post in niche forums and include a signature back to your site.

6. Write a book and publish it to Kindle. Keep it very low priced or free to get maximum traffic.

7. Create a free course on Udemy. Mention your site where it makes sense.

8. Request to submit guest blog posts for blogs in your niche.

9. Add social sharing bookmarks to your site. They work.

10. Leave insightful blog comments to blogs in your niche.

11. Interview influencers in your niche. If they like it, they’ll likely share with their audience.

12. Make it profitable for people to promote your posts. If you use a shopping cart likeNanacast, you can make it so that people can get an affiliate link to share free content. When their leads buy other products of yours, they’ll get a commission. It’s a total win-win.

13. Create helpful YouTube videos.  (If you don’t have video ideas, just create videos out of your blog posts.)

14. Convert content into a slide and post it onto AuthorStream or SlideShare.

15. Post free videos onto MySkillFeed.com. Not only will you get traffic, but the company actually pays you for views as well.

16. Submit press releases.

17. Use paid advertising (like Google AdWords or Twitter ads).

18. Link to your posts on Twitter – preferably multiple times, at different times of the day.

19. Create a smart phone app that links to your website.

20. Let people guest blog post on your site.

21. Go offline. Start a meetup group or take on speaking engagements.

22. Create automated webinars.

23. Give away a simple software that links back to your website.

24. Mention your site every time you send out an email.

25. Pay for banner space on other peoples’ websites.

26. Link to your posts on your Google+ page.

27. Post on relevant LinkedIn groups.

28. Create share-able tweets and use ClickToTweet to encourage shares.

29. Search engine optimize your posts.

30. Answer questions on Yahoo! Answers.

31. Include your website link in your Instagram bio.

32. Go onto forums/groups and ask people what they’d like to learn about. Answer their questions in your posts. They’ll obviously be interested.

33. Submit tweets to JustRetweet.

34. Add share-able images to all posts. These help tremendously.

35. Create a “Best Of” list in your niche. There are so many reasons these work: they help newbies save time, seasoned people will be curious, and influencers who are mentioned will likely share.

(For example, Lisa from SparrowHaus made this post about 15 noteworthy podcasts from creative women entrepreneurs. You can bet I tweeted, favorited, and pinned it.)

36. Go onto OpenSiteExplorer (use the free option), see who is linking to your competition’s websites, and see how YOU can get on those sites.

37. Network with other bloggers. Even if you’re just starting out, you can find other people in the same position who would love to grow together.

38. Share posts on StumbleUpon.

39. Use a content scheduler like HootSuite to re-promote older blog posts. Keep recycling your old content so new audiences can find it.

40. Run a compelling contest.

41. Create attention-grabbing headlines that make people want to click over and read.

42. Post your blog posts on Medium.com.

43. Reach out to podcasters for interviews. Tell them why you’d make a great asset to their show.

44. Post your best posts on Reddit.com.

45. Create a post on CNN. Their iReport section lets anyone post quality content on there.

46. Hire someone on Fiverr to get traffic for you. There’s an entire section on Fiverr devoted to this. Make sure whoever you hire will get you targeted, spam-free traffic.

47. Upload courses or files to Scribd.

48. Sponsor things – tweet ups, podcasts, booths at events, or peoples’ websites.

49. Go to seminars/conferences/workshops in your industry.

50. Post honest reviews on courses/products in your niche.

51. Look at sites such as MyTopTweet and see your niche influencers’ most popular tweets. This will help give you content ideas of things people care about.

52. Create an infographic. Infographics spread easily and are very share-able.

53. Participate in “link parties”, which are weekly collections of links about a specific topic.

54. Make your content phenomenal. (This is really #1, but everyone says it first so I figured I’d mix it up.)

55. Co-create content with other people. That leaves room for natural cross promotion.

Becca Piastrelli on how dabbling with lots of things can bring you happiness.

Podcast Overview:

In this interview, we talk to Becca Piastrelli about how having lots of passions can bring you a great happiness. Becca talks about how it’s OK to dabble – and how you don’t need to have some major end goal in everything you do. If you’ve been feeling like you don’t have much space for fun in your life, listen to this interview. It will show you why fun will make you even MORE productive.

Becca’s Bio:

Becca is the woman behind the The Dabblist. Her manifesto: To rid the taboo around the term, dabbler and instead to infuse it with a sense of alchemy and wonder. Why? Because she knows that when we bring an inquisitive heart to the process of creating with our own two hands, to get our hands dirty, share stories and creations with each other, we remember the ancient wisdom within.We can tap into what our great, great, great grandmothers once knew: That given the freedom to dabble, we can be the creators of our own joy. I asked Becca to be on our podcast today because I think she has a lot of wisdom to share with you. I know she’s been through a lot of life changes including leaving her stable six-figure job to work fulltime on her business. Her business highlights the message that it’s OK to play.

10 Tips To Improve Your Morning In 5 Minutes Or Less

You've probably heard about the importance of setting a morning routine. Morning routines set your days up for success, plus you get to enjoy the long-term benefits of implementing good habits daily.

The only problem is, it can be hard to set the perfect routine for YOU. You have to make sure it's something that will feel good, benefit you, and is something you'll actually stick with.

That said, here are 10 different five-minute boosters that you can try out. See which ones work the best for you.

These boosters are adapted from my newest book:

1. Get rid of something.

There are all kinds of things taking up space in your psyche that you can delete. Take five minutes to get rid of something each day.

Some things you can get rid of are old voice mails, pictures from your phone, emails, expired food, clothes you don't wear, old wire hangers, trash, items on your hard drive, computer bookmarks, newsletters you don't like any more, old makeup, apps on your phone, contacts on your phone, books you'll never read again, and old receipts or papers.

2. Have a standing five-minute call with a friend.

Many of us don't have time to connect with our friends like we used to. Have a regular five-minute call when you and a friend get to spend two and a half minutes each sharing what's going on. Set a timer if necessary.

This can be something you do every day, every other day, or once a week. And if you desire, you can do it with multiple friends.

3. Spark your creativity.

You can roll either Story Cubes (dice that have multiple pictures of nouns on every side) or write out random nouns that you put in a hat. Every morning, roll three dice or draw three new words. Come up with stories that incorporate every word that came up.

This exercise is fun, boosts your creativity, and is also something you can do with children.

4. Create a list of reasons to be grateful.

Gratitude increases your happiness, reminds you of all of the great things in life, increases optimism, improves self-esteem, reduces feelings of envy, and just makes you feel happier.

5. Track your money in and money out from the day before.

Even if you have a consistent income, tracking what you're spending on a daily basis can be very eye-opening.

You might start to notice where you're mindlessly spending, or you might end up celebrating your habits.

6. Do something kind for your partner.

Ask yourself what would make your partner happy, then do it.

Maybe you have a dry-erase board where you write a new reason why you love them down every day, or you make them a smoothie, or put a towel in the dryer so they have something nice and toasty when they come out of the shower.

7. Break down overwhelming tasks.

If something's overwhelming you, it's because it hasn't been broken down enough. Take tasks you want to accomplish and simplify them to the easiest levels possible.

8. Create agendas.

If you have any meetings or phone calls on a given day, take a few minutes to set up agendas. When you can clearly tell people what the focus of a meeting will be, there will be less time for mindless chatter, and increased efficiency.

9. Bag up some snacks for the day.

Some ideas of things you can have on hand so you don't get caught with hunger later: fruit, a baggie of almonds, carrots, celery, portable peanut butter or almond butter packs, healthy snack bars, or hard boiled eggs.

10. Read a guilty-pleasure magazine or website.

Take a few minutes to read something that lights you up, even if it does absolutely nothing for your productivity. Read a gossip magazine, go on a fun website, or do anything that makes you feel really good — no matter what other people might think.

I hope this helps you -- now go out there and make your mornings a little better!
