We know that it all begins by focusing on the highest quality traffic possible. So, how can you flood your website with traffic that will convert? Here are a few ways pro bloggers get it done:
Guest Blogging
This is where you agree to post useful, highly informative content on someone’s blog. Why would you do this instead of posting it on your own?
Because by being a featured contributor on established blogs, you can not only piggyback off the authority and credibility of someone in your market, but you can syphon their traffic onto your blog for free!
The alternative is to approach leading blogs in your niche and ask if they offer paid advertisements or sponsorships, but in reality; this will never produce the results that guest blogging can.
Think about it: You are not only given the opportunity to transfer traffic from authority blogs onto your own but by being featured on their website you are gaining traction in your market while establishing yourself as an authority in your niche!
Guest blogging also helps you expand your outreach via social media as quite often these posts will be shared through RSS feeds, Twitter, Facebook and through newsletter updates.
There’s nothing quite like it. Guest blogging will catapult your efforts to generate premium traffic that will convert while also helping you develop powerful networking opportunities and partnerships in your industry.
So, you are like asking: “how do I find guest blogging opportunities?”
Easy. Search Google!
Use search terms like:
keyword “submit a guest post”
keyword guest blogging”
keyword accepting guest posts”
keyword “guest post by”.
You’ll be able to find countless opportunities just be using search operators. Here are a few others:
Keyword + “guest blogging”
Keyword + “write for us”
You can also find guest posting opportunities by evaluating the backlinks from competing blogs.
Use tools such as https://www.semrush.com or https://majestic.com/ to crawl through backlinks, and find other blogs that your competitors have written for.

So, aside from guest blogging – what else can you to drive targeted traffic to your website?
Offer something for free!
The easiest way to make a lot of money and convert traffic into leads is by offering something for free that others would sell.
Everyone loves free stuff. It’s the easiest way to earn the trust of potential leads and to encourage them to give you a chance to earn their business. Not only that but you can get incredible social media shares (can you say VIRAL?) by offering something extremely valuable at absolutely no cost.
Not to mention that when others start to share your offer you’ll generate massive amounts of inbound links to your blog – ultimately, increasing your traffic for FREE.
