So you’ve registered your domain name, bought a shared web hosting plan and are ready to leap into opening up your web site.
How do you get your site ready and change it from a site with no traffic to a site rolling in with visitors?
You must start of with the design of the site. Without a visually appealing site that reels in your visitors, you will lose them faster than they came to the site. A good site design that stands out is crucial to get them to stick around for those first few seconds and find out what your site is about.
After the design and content implementation of the web site, you need to focus on marketing your web site to the world.
Follow the following ways to market your web site:
- Start posting on Forums related to your web site topic.
Post a link back to your site in the forum signature and make quality posts on the forum. People will read your post and click your signature link after warming up to your quality post.
- Update your web site frequently with fresh content.
The best way to make quick and frequent updates is through the Blogging medium, such as the one you are reading right now. Quick Blog is a fast, convenient and easy way to set up a Blog and deliver fresh content to your customers.
- Create a newsletter subscription list
Keep your visitors in close connection and to be able to notify them of important updates on your site. Express Email Marketing is a great choice for gathering subscribers and to turn around with sending targetted e-mail campaigns.
That should get you started with getting web site visitors and traffic to your site. Keep checking the marketing section of our blog for more in depth information of the topics above.
