Big corporations and Fortune 500 Companies understand the value of a business blog. They invest in Content Marketing and reach their potential market with a strong content strategy.

We would like to introduce you to some basic rules for setting up a successful business blog. Because it can take a few months for your blog to grow to a reasonable level of daily visitors. However, there is no magic potion or ultimate insider tip – but a consistent content strategy.

Get more visitors to your business website by following these proven ways.

1. Content

Without appropriately positioned content, even the best search engine optimization and the prettiest designs of a website are of no use. In addition, the long-term retention of visitors should be your primary goal, which is why interesting website content is doubly important.

In addition, you should write your articles for readers and not for search engines. So pay attention to natural phrases, without tons of keywords, whereby these may occur naturally, but should not be in the foreground. Not only your readers but also Google will be grateful to you – more on that later. Positive outcomes of great content: other websites or company blogs will link to your articles, which will not only increase your level of awareness but also improve your ranking in various search engines.

2. SEO

Another very crucial point in traffic growth is search engine optimization or SEO for short. However, you should be careful not to focus too much on optimizing for Google, or other search engines. Your readers in particular will thank you if you do not write pure keyword texts. And not only that: Google has now also adapted its algorithm and recognizes topic connections. In other words, search engines are no longer just based on individual keywords. Rather, they reward those companies that position themselves as experts in certain subject areas with a good ranking.

3. Social Media Marketing

Social media marketing and social interaction are one of the most important aspects of attracting visitors. Both you and your business blog should be represented on at least the usual social networks (Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn). It is only advantageous to simply share the article, but also to participate in topic-related discussions. You will be surprised how many visitors you can gain and reach via Facebook and other social networks.

4. Guest Articles and Comments

Another powerful traffic strategy is guest posting. You should look out for well-established business blogs in your niche that offer guest article submissions. But a nice request by e-mail shouldn’t hurt either. This will help you earn a name for yourself in the industry and attract new regular readers.

It’s pretty much the same in the comments. Leave comments (no spam!) and a link to your website on other established blogs in your niche. But caution is advised: Unqualified comments that give the impression that you are only looking for a backlink are in most cases rightly deleted immediately or not even activated in the first place. Even if you don’t leave a link, a qualified comment can give you a reputation and give you “trust” from other readers and interested parties. The same applies to comments on your website. If a reader of your blog writes a comment or email, don’t hesitate to reply.

5. Patience and Continuity

If you’ve ever heard of getting rich overnight (with a blog) online, I’m sorry to disappoint you. A successful blog not only requires a lot of work and passion but also the necessary patience and motivation. Depending on the size of the niche, you will not be able to achieve great success with two articles per day. In addition, you should – also depending on which niche you are in – fill your blog with content continuously, i.e. daily.

6. Design & Hosting

The external appearance and a corresponding server/web space for pleasant loading times are of course also part of the basics of a successful and, above all, well-visited company blog. Because the bounce rate in the first few seconds, i.e. when your website is still loading, is incredibly high. And true to the motto “first impressions count”, your blog should of course also be structured and designed appealingly. Because the technical and design aspects are not met, no matter how good your articles are, you will not be able to win over many readers.

7. Old Articles

Finally, I would like to give you a tip for a sustainable increase in traffic. You will soon be able to look back on a large number of articles written on your business blog, which hide undreamt-of potential. After all, wouldn’t it be practical if older articles also attracted many daily visitors? This can only be achieved in very few cases with pure news articles, but if you (hopefully) also write specialized articles that are also timeless, you should fully exploit this potential. You mustn’t leave old articles untouched and – if it makes sense – keep them up to date and revise them. But the same articles can also be shared on social channels at a later date.

These tips should only be some of the basics for successful blog growth. Would you like more information and content marketing insights for your business blog?
