Getting New Tutor Students –
We got a question from one of our students yesterday and they were wondering about web traffic and how to get it. Here’s what we told her. Got a question you want answered please feel free to send us a note or leave us a comment.
First remember it’s a marathon and not a Sprint. It takes a lot of time and effort to get your site on the first page.
1. Think about a content plan for your blog. Plan on making 2 or 3 posts a week and write down what you’ll be talking about for the next 3 – 6 months. Some of the posts you’ll want to make about community events, news that impacts your community, how to study etc. Once you have the plan make sure you’re posting at least 2 or 3 times a week.
2. Test putting a listing on sites that come up high in the search engines. See how many calls / leads you get from those.
3. Use facebook. Again a post every day some about business / others about things happening in your town.
4. Work on contacting local sites in your area and trade links with them. They link to your site and you link to theirs.
5. Advertise on Facebook and Google – you can do this locally. We wrote about facebook here – http://www.cleverapple.com/blog/how-to-target-a-facebook-ad-campaign-to-get-local-business/We’re working on a video that shows you how to do it for Facebook and Google and those should be up tomorrow.
Here is the video we were talking about.
To Do List for the Week –
- Start a test ad campaign for Facebook and Google Ad words.
Have a wonderful week!
