7 Ways to Rapidly Get Your Content Noticed Without Spending A Cent

Guest blog

As kids growing up parents taught kids to be modest and not seek too much attention. What they should have added is that that same attention they taught kids to shun would be the determiner of success, at least in the world of content and advertising. They should have added that at some point, away from the idealists of this world, life is no more than a rat race that typically favors those at the top. That is why the rich get richer and those with the biggest audiences will always continue to gain even more coverage.

How is that so? The numerous followers only need to have one of their friends to share the same content and the exponential growth keeps on. If there is a need to trade or pay for content sharing too, everyone wants to partner with them since they have the numbers to leverage and they have enough clients to afford to pay for any slot that the smaller business might desire. But does it have to be just about that? You would wonder. What about the smaller players who are still trying to make forays into the market and establish an audience? Do not despair, there are ways in which you can establish an audience and get your content shared without having to spend any money at all. Read on to find out what these ways are.Startup stock photos

  • Prepare Early Enough

So you have that one piece you are working on that you are convinced will herald your big break. What part do you have to play to get it trending? You must ensure that you put in all the necessary work sooner than is necessary. No matter how many times that you hear the saying “good things do not come easy,” it never quite grows old. That is because it is true. So you must ensure that you start your outreach way before your article is published.

Relationships are a vital lifeline in content sharing, especially for the smaller businesses since, normally, they will need the help of other blogs to boost their traffic. Being one of them, you must create as many strategic connections as possible so that you can leverage them when you publish your work. Get industry and media influencer to share your content with their audiences. This is work that often takes time and plenty of effort, but the power of having several influencers is very well worth the effort.

  • Build a Content Strategy

Someone did say that the best things in life are free and while that is most definitely not true for everything, it could be for you and your audience. Deep at heart, people do not really care who their content comes from, and if they do it is because they know that the person either has a track record of churning out great articles or notoriously unpleasant articles. That said, as a new name you probably are not known for any of the above, at least not on a scale that matters, or you would not be trying to promote your content like you are not. So here is the deal, just ensure that you have the best content on the internet and your worries will be cut in half.

But good content does not just come to you. You have to work hard to get it and the best way to generate that is by having a content strategy. The basic rule of thumb that applies to newbies and old hands equally is that the site must be updated on a regular basis with content that is either educational or informative. You might do this optimally by starting a blog to which you post content as regularly as you can. This will ensure that you hone your writing skills. Even if you would like to use one of the best writing services and get professional help, the strategy is a must. At this stage, it is imperative that you plan your content clearly so that you do not lose consistency or run out of material to post prematurely.

  • Base your Content on Strong Data

Numbers do not lie and the first thing numbers are that there are a lot of articles out there yet most of them cover content that is strikingly similar. So how do you, as one little website in a multitude, ensure that you get as much traffic flowing your way as possible? One way would be to align yourself with the predominant forces. That is to say that whatever you decide to talk about, ensure that it already pulls good numbers to the sites that cover it.

Thankfully, the internet has made getting data a much easier and cheaper information. As a matter of fact, there a few sites where you can obtain a variety of data at no price at all. Additionally, an indirect but powerful way to get your content noticed is by approaching authoritative sources for their opinions on the topic or content. This way you get first class data and a possibility of having it shared by experts in the field.

  • Effective Distribution

If it is attention you want, you have to earn it in this line of work. If you have a dream that you will write great content, publish then refresh twenty-seven minutes later to 768 views, well, that is just a dream that will remain so unless you make efforts to make it true. You would drum, trumpet, scream, and shout about it from the top a tree if these were ancient. But it is not.

So you undertake the adaptations of all those activities that we have on the internet today. Post the content to all the social media profiles at your disposal as many times as you safely can without having your clientele choke on it. Pass the word to everyone on your mailing list. This is a game of numbers, and the more people who hear about your data, the higher the likelihood of getting traffic.

  • Maintain Contact with your Visitors

If you are lucky enough to get a few guests or more (a lot of people get none), do not be satisfied with just having them visit once. Thank them for visiting your site, and try as much as possible to have them hand you a way of contacting them such as joining your mail list. There are ways to be persuasive in this because their return visits and possible feedback is invaluable for your growth. For instance, you may offer free gifts for joining the mailing lists.

Once you have the contacts, do not just sit on them, but contact the visitors regularly by sending them newsletters to keep them updated on the goings on at the website. This might also be the opportune place to ask for feedback on the content from them to help you better whatever you already have on offer.

  • Optimize your Site

The appearance of this as the sixth item on this list is by no means an indication of importance in boosting the traffic that your site receives. It is imperative that you have a website that people actually enjoy visiting. Make every moment that is spent on your website and experience. Make sure that all the content that occurs on your site is strategic. This is because the design of your website and the content on it is highly influential on its ranking in search engine results display.

One of the main ways to boost your site’s visibility to people searching for content online is by making use of relevant keywords therein. To optimize the results here, it is best that you have every web page targeting its own keyword. However, prudence is advised here since it would be more detrimental than helpful if the keywords seem forced. They should be plugged into the content as subtly and naturally as possible. It should also be incorporated as many times as possible without apparent overuse either.

You might choose to have your main keyword as a single word or as a phrase. Single word keywords are not optimal for new brands since their use is highly competitive. Longer phrases, on the other hand, are better since there is less likelihood that there will be another brand competing for the same. For instance, a keyword like “best writing website” is much likelier to direct clients to you more than simply “writing.” The main keyword, regardless of what it is, should be included in every one of the pages in the HTML title tag. In the same vein, you should keep all URLS as short as possible while still keeping them as relevant to the page they lead to.

One of the best tips in directing local traffic towards your site is by including the name of the locality you are in. Needless to say, local traffic has the highest conversion probability since the people can easily access you physically.

  • Use Attractive Visual Content

Having strong visual content makes your content 94% more likely to be shared. They make content look much more attractive and make for apt breaks in long pieces of prose so that readers do not get bored. Infographics are wildly popular, getting three times more shares than data. That makes sense, though, seeing as effectively compressing text into graphic form makes it much easier to not only go over but also understand.

Conclusion

Over the past years, content marketing has made a remarkable position in the world of Digital Marketing and proved its worth by delivering the desired results.
