Signing up for top social medias such as Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Youtube and even Whatsapp. You might be actually be wondering how Whatsapp messenger can actually drive traffic to your blog. I have a tech blog which I shared Android tips, browsing, flashing roms and phone specs. I created a page where interested visitors could join my Whatsapp group and I was able to create three
groups. I became interactive with the groups solving problems for the users and referring them to my blog url If the problem was in my blog. Also, I updated them regularly with new updates from my blog and to my surprise, my traffic jumped from 10k to 15k. This was my Whatsapp strategy, you also get traffic from Facebook groups, Twitter and Google plus.
There are plugins like Jetpack, Coschedule, HYPEsocial Buffer,Revive old Post etc that helps autopost your post to social medias like Facebook, Twitter, Google plus, linked in etc. This shows on your audience timeline when they login and they click on topics that they like therefore bringing back traffic to your blog.

By so doing, I was able to drive traffic from Youtube to my blog.
4. Giveaways and Promos
Giveaways and promos are the best ways to drive traffic to your blog. They help to draw your visitors back to your blog and stay longer. Giveaways involves engaging your users in your website to gain free
products or services. I have been blogging for over two years now on my tech blog http://xclusivetek.com. I engaged in a free new year giveaway promo promising winners free recharge cards of over $10. All they had to do was to follow me on my twitter handle, like my Facebook
page, be constantly commenting my blog and sharing them to Facebook and Twitter. I shared the giveaway promo to my whatsapp group, facebook and on twitter and before two days, I could see increase in comments and my followers. I eventually selected five winners at the end of the month and gave that $10(#2000) recharge cards each of their choice. I was able to accomplish two things. First and increase in traffic that month than the previous two months and secondly, an increase in my fbk fans and twitter followers.
Promos are related to giveaways. If you sell products like Phones or ebooks, you can decide to slash the price to half giving this to some certain users that perform certain tasks. It could be the for the first users that input their emails will get this promos. By doing this, you are getting your visitors to subscribe to your blog via e-mails and enable the visitors to want to check back for similar promos or offers.
5. Forums
Forums are also good strategies to drive traffic to your blog. They don’t only create awareness of your blog, but also serves as a quality backlink for your blog. Top forums that have proven to be helpful to
me includes nairaland.com, quora.com, reddit.com, blognigeria.com.ng. I engage in forums by answering questions giving them links If it’s in my site, posting with a source link from my blog. You should also learn to abide by this forum rules and regulations or you might end up being banned by the moderators. Try to answer comment in a best possible way and prevent unnecessary posting of your links in the comments because that might arise to spamming. Also post quality
content and avoid read more at your website url, instead after posting, add Source: yourwebsite url. That will help create backlink and make users that love the post want to read more from your blog

friends on social medias thereby driving in more traffic to your blog. The person also interviewed can be of help to you by sharing the post on his/her social media handles. You might be surprised the traffic

The problem is getting the mails of your visitors. There are strategies you can use to engage your users in subscribing to your blog post.

me in updating my users via mail. As earlier discussed in giveaways, you can tell your viewers to input their email to be eligible for the promo or offers. This will prompt visitors to be input their email and
subscribe to your post updates via mail. Another way is pushup subscription allows e-mail subscription pop-ups to visitors when viewing your blog. Widgets or plugins from feedburner, mailchimp,
summome, sharethis, support this pop-up notifications. You should set time for the mail pop-ups like one weekly or daily so avoid it from driving your visitors away. You should be strategic and use captivating words that would allow them subscribe to your blog post.

post via mail.
