In this article, I am going to write about a traffic building strategy that you can use, primarily using articles as a source of traffic. Then I’ll describe how you can get more exposure for your articles by sharing them on social media.

Getting traffic using only articles.

Let’s take a look at this premise first, that you are using articles only to drive traffic to your website. If this is the case, you will need a plan to write a certain number of articles per day. Suppose you would like to have a hundred visitors per day on your website.

Here’s what you can do, write twenty articles and post them on an article submission website. After a week or so, after the articles are published, you will start to see traffic coming to your website. Now, I am going to simplify this so that you easily understand how you can apply it to your articles. If, after a month, you get an average of two clicks to your website per day from each article, that would be a total of forty people. The goal is to get a hundred visitors, right? Well the answer to getting more traffic is of course to write more articles. But is that all you can do to increase your traffic?

This time I would like you to think of those articles as shareable content!

It’s a very simple idea, but one that sometimes goes directly over the heads of many article writers. Share your work on social networking sites like Facebook.

You have a few options, but let’s get on with a sharing method. All you need to do is write a short summary for each of your articles and leave a link to the article at the end of your summary. Then post those summaries on your social media sites. Your followers will see those posts on their timeline, just like the posts you see on your timeline for the pages you’re following.

Sharing your articles on your social media sites can get you more article views and could help you reach your goal of one hundred clicks on your website every day.

Again, after a month, you can start to track your results and calculate how many website clicks you are getting per article. So it’s about deciding if you want to write more articles and share them too.
