WordPress is a platform used for building blogs and websites. Once you have a hosting account you are able to install it at no additional cost. This is typically referred to as a 'one click installation', even though it will actually take you several clicks to set it up. The process of setting up your WordPress site, posting information that is relevant to your topic, and using keywords all along the way will drive massive traffic to your site today and for years to come.
SEO - search engine optimization needs to become a part of your daily activities online. This is the way to drive as much free traffic as you like to your sites. It's all about the keywords you use in your blog post and article titles, within your articles and posts, and anywhere else where you are creating content. This included pictures and videos and not just written content. If you are having difficulty finding the right keywords to describe what you have to offer, take a look at the source code from some of the sites created by your competitors to give you an idea of which words and phrases and right for you.
Now you will want to add a WordPress SEO plug-in to your sites. These plug-ins are completely free, and once you install them simply follow along in the instructions to add your information. I find that this takes me about three to five minutes each day, but I will tell you that this is the most valuable few minutes you will spend in order to make this all come together.
Sign up for a free account with Google Analytics so you can track where your traffic is coming from. I did not do this early in my business, and I was amazed when I finally decided to add this strategy to my marketing. Knowing your numbers is the only way you will be able to improve them over time, and this is both free and painless.
You will find that it is just a matter of creating content on a regular basis that focuses on your keyword phrases. Soon people will be visiting your blog and other sites throughout each day, and joining your list to find out more about what you do. It all begins with setting up your WordPress site and driving targeted traffic with your content.
