First thousand visitors to your website

It is a goal for almost every website with the launch, to attract the first thousand visitors to your website. This can be done in a lot of ways. MijnHostingPartner.nl gives you the tips to get this done. Read on to earn your first visitors too!

Let's start with the term earning, visitors do not come by themselves and can only be earned. Putting a page live and expecting to get thousands of visitors is certainly not the standard and often not the reality. A website needs a number of pillars to stand on to attract those first thousand visitors. Use the following strategies to attract those first thousand visitors per month to your website.

The direct and expensive way, advertising

With advertising on search engines and social media, a landing page that is important to your business can attract a thousand visitors in no time. This is the way for many companies to launch a new product or concept. The big disadvantage is that you pay for every click or interaction. How much? That depends on a large number of factors.

The competition, the search volume and where you advertise. For many startups and early stage websites this is a good way to quickly shoot through your budget. So when you have put away a bigger budget for your startup, website or webshop this is a good way to attract those first thousand visitors.

But this is not for everyone to attract that first thousand visitors, let's look at the other ways you can attract those first visitors to your website.

Content is king

You can't expect from a blog website that you can make a success of a website with a dozen posts. Especially not for your first website. A blog requires work. As virtually all writers have experienced in past centuries and many more in the coming centuries. Writing is in almost no way a success you experience with a night's sleep. The threshold has also become a lot lower with the rise of the Internet. It is now accessible to almost anyone to set up a website. Especially with the low prices of MijnHostingPartner.nl.

Content Management Systems like WordPress make it easier than ever to set up a website and publish it on the Internet. In almost every niche, you have to deal with competition. Competition from companies, other bloggers and forums. It's up to you to write not only for search engines, but also for actual readers.

So pay attention to every post you make and make sure it meets standard SEO values. But always keep the ultimate reader in mind. The more readers actively also read your article, the more sharing actions happen on social media, the longer visitors stay on your website, your ranking in search engines will also increase. The algorithms of search engines like Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo already take this into account and will do so more and more in the future.

So plan for yourself to write a lot for a blog or website. Set a goal for yourself and try to stick to it. Try not to track the statistics of your website too much, this is a trap that many website creators fall into. Obsessively track their statistics every day, see how much is coming in, from which platform and how long they stay on the page. This I recommend not to track daily but to schedule for yourself that you track this per month or per week. And spend more time actually writing for your blog or website. This can be exciting at first, but it's not.

Active and passive channels of traffic to your website

In addition to writing and publishing content for your website to earn that first thousand visitors for your website, there is still the social media mode to promote the previously written content. You can write until you drop but receiving traffic through search engines takes a while.

Time after time many website creators, SEO gurus and webmasters have shown that organic traffic for new websites really comes rolling in after about 8 months. This is known as the Google Sandbox and is a much debated topic. We invite you to do some research on this yourself and read some case studies on this. Organic traffic is passive, once you rank well in the search results you will basically receive stable traffic through this. However, in the background you still need to keep up with many things to maintain that position. But that is a subject for another blog post.

Social media channels such as Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Reddit can all be used to attract visitors to your website. There are too many social media channels to mention, so it's important to focus on 1 or 2 channels that you want to get the most out of. Post regularly, talk to your followers and respond to messages to get your benefit. With a good post and the right target group you can attract a thousand visitors to your website in one day. However, this often requires more work than that. So deepen yourself into your target group, see which Social Media channels they are on and try to address them with a post.
