1. Repurpose your content
Repurposing
content requires you to re-imagine your top posts. To reach your audience
effectively, you need to know what you have already published and what each one
offers.
A blog post
can be repurposed as an infographic, a YouTube video, a podcast, or even a Slide
share presentation.
A well-written blog post can also be used to generate leads with CTAs. Add a free
e-book or an online course to it for readers to sign up for. Repurposing your
content can triple your blog traffic, and it will also improve your engagement
rates.
2. Build links to your site
You can
build organic links when you understand the ins and outs of the content you
have.
Link-building
is crucial to getting ranked on Google. You must have heard this countless
times. You should invest in link-building if you are serious about ranking on
Google.
You can
cultivate a good, long-term SEO strategy for your blog by building links to it.
You can build backlinks to your site in a variety of ways. We will discuss
guest posting in phase three.
3. Create a UTM link to track marketing campaigns
How can your
content take advantage of a technical opportunity? Link to UTMs. The UTM link
adds some code to the end of your blog post URL, which can be used to monitor
and track your marketing campaigns on Google Analytics.
You can only
get some simple metrics from Google Analytics, such as websites or search
engines your users come from. Adding a UTM link to your post URL will show a
detailed result, making it easier to determine which content is driving
traffic.
Track your
links using a shortened URL or your custom link management tool. You can assign
priority UTM links to posts that will drive traffic for a specific marketing
campaign if you organize your content ahead of time.
4. Share your blog on social media
You've
probably heard about social media promotion before. A blog post shared on
social media will always be one of the best ways to promote your content.
It's
important to build up a strong social media presence, but make sure you're not
posting swipe-up links to your content all the time.
Develop a
social media content calendar with various engaging posts, and drive traffic to
your blog 3-4 times per month.
You can
increase your social media accounts even if they don't explicitly mention your
blog post. Over time, those followers will become curious and will check out
your blog for themselves.
Use an
automated tool to optimize your social media presence by managing your accounts
from a single dashboard.
5. Network on related or similar blogs
Some
bloggers have neglected to leave comments on other blogs because they believe
it will not affect their SEO rankings. Yes, they are correct - it won't.
However, leaving a comment on another related blog is still beneficial.
It is a wonderful way to gain visibility and start building relationships with other
bloggers in your industry by leaving a comment on another blog.
Although
admittedly small, this is still a possible way to market yourself without spending
much money or time.
