Don't use your creativity in these aspects, it's a waste. Your creativity should be used to create value. What you really need is not traffic, but influence. Shouting at others does not get influence. Keeping quiet is a better choice. (Insteadofscreaming, preferquiet.) if everyone else is shouting "take a look at me", you should be quiet.
There is a profession that has become more and more popular with the development of the Internet, called "network promotion ". It teaches you how to increase the website access volume by various means. For example, optimize keywords, generate the latest content for tracking network hotspots, log on to various Yellow Pages, exchange links everywhere, and frequently speak in large communities. personalized signatures must contain URLs, send an advertisement email ......
Many people are eager for this practice, and it has become an industry.
I have not tried this kind of promotion yet, mainly because I feel that my website is not commercial and it is not worth such a huge weekly subscription. But in my heart, I never thought that such a promotion would be right.
Last week, I read Leo Babauta's article. He made it clear that he should not do "network promotion ". I think his reasons are very thought-provoking.
Don't use your creativity in these aspects, it's a waste. Your creativity should be used to create value.
Governance without failure
What you really need is not traffic, but influence.
Shouting at others does not get influence. Keeping quiet is a better choice. (Instead of screaming, prefer quiet .)
If everyone else is shouting "look at me", you should be quiet.
If everyone else is focusing on the market, you should focus on yourself.
If others value sales and clicks, you value the website content.
If others are soliciting visitors, you can ask them to visit the site.
If others try their best to ask visitors to subscribe to news emails, you will not provide this function.
If others are reporting the results, don't talk about yourself.
If other people care about copyright, you will give your work in vain.
If everyone else is talking and setting ambitious goals, keep a low profile and try to lower your expectations for the future.
The key here is not that you give up competition, but that you use the time and money used for marketing activities to create real value.
Someone will find you. They will be surprised that you have done well and earnestly, but you have never heard of it, so they will tell their friends. At this time, your visitor becomes your salesman, and your value is your biggest advertisement.
Keep quiet and make yourself valuable. In the long run, this is more effective than any marketing means.
