Writing an article or taking a photograph and publishing it on the web is now easy thanks to Triond
. However you will only start to earn money when you get a substantial number of visitors to view your pages. I have gathered together the following twelve top tips for getting lots of visitors to view your pages.
- Submit details of what you have posted to social networking sites such as Digg
, Reddit
, Blue Dot
,
Ma.gnolia.com
and
Del.icio.us.
This is very straightforward from the Triond content page. But do some homework first. Look at the about pages of each social networking site and see which is most appropriate to what you are sharing. Some are technology based, some news, some more general. Targeting to one that is directly related to your content will be most useful.
- Publicize what you have done on your own MySpace
or Facebook
or BeBo
site
- It is not necessary to pay to get your page sent to Internet search engines. You can submit your details to free, search engine friendly directories.
- In the articles that you write refer to the other articles that you have already published on-line
- Tell your friends and family, co-workers, and neighbors about what you have done. It's free advertising and they already know who you are!
- Make sure the content of your article is well written and correctly spelt. Get a friend to check it over for you if you are unsure. People will not look out for further pieces of work by you if what they find the first time is badly written or spelt.
- Leave a comment on relevant blogs and other articles on similar themes with a link back to your piece of work
- Make a short video about yourself and your work and put it on YouTube
- Tell bloggers about your content, both articles and photos and ask them to view and review them
- Tell your local newspaper about what you are doing. Local papers especially the free ones are desperate for stories and a local person being published on the Internet could be a “good news” story. If you write it for them they are even more likely to use it. Look at the stories published in your local paper and see what length and style of short article they use.
- Take care when you write the tags to describe your page. These can be crucial in people finding your pages once they find the website
- Email an newsletter to all your contacts to keep them up to date on what you have posted recently. Don't do it too often or it may be treated as annoying spam. I do this monthly.
These are my 12 top tips - they are working for me - I wish you success and hope they work for you.
