Your website is only as good as the visitors it receives! Getting 100 visitors a day will boost your views, send your sales through the roof, grow your revenue from ads, and gather a community of people who share your passions and will pay you for that with their visits.

1. Know Your Market Competition

 

It’s important to understand who your competition is in the market that your website is appealing to. Now that everybody seems to have a website, there’s a good chance that someone else has already capitalized on the niche you’re looking to attract. When you know what kinds of things you have for you and against you in the market, you will be able to recognize your strengths and capitalize on them and understand your weaknesses and get rid of them.

For example, you may have great prices for a product you are selling on your website. Or you can offer free shipping, low prices, discounts, coupons, and deals on your products. These are great advantages for your website because they are reasons that a customer will choose your website over a competitor’s.

However, you might notice that your competitors have things that your website is lacking. Things like bold colors, neat and organized designs, and eye-catching images that draw people’s attention to their websites. Don’t get down on yourself!

It’s a good sign if you can recognize what others are doing right. This will help you make changes and improvements to your own site so it’s the best it can be. 

You will be able to see the weaknesses of your website and be able to take extra precautions to improve them! Now your website has a great design AND great prices to keep people coming back again and again.

2. Use Keywords

 

Never underestimate the power of using keywords in your website design. Keywords are the words and queries that people use to search online.

When keywords are properly used, they will increase your website’s chances of rising to the top of search results pages because search engines will recognize them as matching results for people’s searches.

You should use keywords in paragraphs, headings, or, best of all, titles of your posts. When people see the words they use to search on the internet, they will be more likely to stay on your website and keep reading.

Finding keywords can be easy. You can use helpful tools like Semrush (a free online suite to help you find high-volume keywords for your business) or search on Google and use things like related searches and ‘people also ask .’

By researching the industry of your online business or website with “keywords,” you can find plenty of resources for keywords that are heavily searched for and have low popularity.

For example, if your website has a main focus on music, you might search “Keywords to use on a website for music.” Some results might be:

• musician
• music downloader
• famous musician
• violin player
• best drummers
• blind musicians
• music band

Using specific keywords will boost your website forward and bring you closer and closer to 100 views a day or more. Don’t overdo it though!

Both readers and search ranking engines will be able to tell if you’re stuffing an article with specific phrases for the sake of stuffing. Naturally incorporate keywords throughout the post, as it is all related; you will be able to do so easily.

3. Have High-Quality Content

 

If you want more viewers on your website each day, you cannot produce low-quality content. You just can’t. People only pay for things they value, and giving up their precious time to view something on the internet is a method of payment. They are giving their time to you, and you are benefitting from it.

There are two things you want to provide that will help quality control on your website:

First, you must give your viewers what they expect from your website.

If you run a music-themed website that emphasizes teaching and learning new skills on the ukulele, it will throw off the audience if they suddenly see posts about horse care or how to become a hot-air balloon pilot.

When you build up a community of like-minded people interested in what you have to say, one of the worst things you can do is lose those people because you are not providing the value they expect from your website. Be consistent. When your audience wants something, give it to them.

Your website patrons will be loyal to you as long as you are loyal to them in return.

Second, give them something they don’t already have

If you are an informational website that produces content to teach people about a topic, a good rule of thumb is to Google search your topic and avoid regurgitating the first 5 things that come up in your article. People come to articles and websites for information they don’t already have.

For example, if you are writing an article about newborn baby care, don’t write things like:

• Don’t hurt your baby
• Change the baby’s diaper
• Hold your baby

This is obvious information that people already know. They will leave your website if it only has this kind of information on it. Instead, try writing about unique information that people might not know about a newborn baby like:

• Baby acne is okay! Do not pick at it.
• Check with an expert to be sure your car seat is correctly placed
• How to swaddle in a safe and effective way

4. Produce Free Content First

 

It can be tempting to start charging the people who visit your website immediately. After all, it’s better to make money off of the 3 people that visit than have 100 people visit for free, right? Wrong! One of the most important parts of building a business is to gather a following of people who value your content and will keep coming back to it BEFORE you start charging them.

This is vital because most people want to know what they are paying for before they give away their hard-earned money. Remember: people pay for value! Producing plenty of free content will gather a community of people interested in what you have to say, THEN their loyalty will pay off.

You can present people who return to your site with an optional premium membership since you know they already see the value of the content you produce. Or maybe you can offer an ad-free experience on your website. Be creative in the perks that you offer!

You should also keep in mind that not every site can or should be monetized. If people come for a quick answer to their question, they may be put off by an immediate request for money. Think about monetizing ad space instead of asking visitors for money upfront. 

5. Be Active on the Website

 

Posting content daily is what will gather more followers. If you set up a website but then become inactive on it, the site becomes a recipe for disaster. The website will stay at or return to the bottom of the search results. People want to see posts that are up to date, the more current, the better.

 To get the most visitors onto your website, post new products, new ideas, and new videos every day, if not multiple times a day!

6. Get Personal

 

You must interact with the people who interact with your website. When someone comments on a post, reply to them.

When a hater says something rude, good for you! Engagement is engagement. Take the constructive feedback and ignore the useless negative comments.

Bad attention can sometimes be better than no attention at all. Obviously, once you get to a certain point, the reviews should skew more positive, but don’t quit because of a few bad comments. 

More people interacting with your page is good news! You should be interacting with them (in mature and safe ways) to gather a community of people who all have similar interests. This kind of networking will make your website grow.

7. Publish Content on Time

 

If you tell your followers you are going to post every Wednesday evening at 7 o’clock, you better post every Wednesday at 7! When you tell the website viewers that their time is valuable to you and you will do a quick 10 minute Q&A on Instagram Live, it had better actually be 10 minutes of a Q&A. Follow through with your promises, but don’t let that stop you from posting surprise content in addition to scheduled content. People love to feel special, so by gifting them with giveaway opportunities, special deals, and extra content, they will feel more valued and come back more often.

In addition, watch for peak times of industry and topic searches and follow the flow. Tax season means more people are going to be looking into finances, while wintertime means Christmas DIY posts are in.

Once you develop an audience of returning visitors, you should even pay attention to the time!  At 5 pm, most people get off work and take a break to relax with some internet usage. Take advantage of that! If you’re posting at 2 a.m, you’re not going to get very many visitors… because everyone is asleep!

8. Use Social Media to Promote

 

Although it can be tacky to use Instagram to promote your website, some social media platforms that people use just as often but are much less intrusive could be things like Pinterest or Linkedin. Pinterest is a great place to start posting content with links back to your website. All you need is an eye-catching graphic and some valuable info, and you have new people seeing it, repinning it, and visiting the link to your website every day!

9. Feature People that Others Care About

 

If you are in touch with any important person that other people care to hear from, such as social media influencers, popular authors, speakers, or other celebrities, it couldn’t hurt to have them as a guest on your website! Post a video, transcribe an interview, include quotes, or even post a picture! You never know who it will reach that may have a huge heart for even a small celebrity.

In addition to this, this important person will have a following of their own on social media platforms and will more likely than not post about your website on their page. This means it will reach more people, perhaps even A LOT more people, which means more views, and more people joining your community. When you provide valuable content in exchange for their time and energy, it’s much easier to attract 100 views a day or more.

If you are writing about a niche topic, you may be able to attract readers with a specialist who is only well-known in that circle and not famous in general. People passionate about birds will probably care more about what an expert bird watcher has to say than Nicholas Cage. (Unless he’s a secret expert bird watcher too!)

10. Write Catchy Headlines

 

People are looking for something new and something interesting. In other words, something valuable. Seeing a common theme here yet? Catchy headlines are a must for grabbing people’s attention and bringing them to your website. In addition to this, try using bold and complimenting colors. These are extremely useful for drawing people’s eyes in and becoming curious about what else there could be behind that link.

Catchy headlines include specific keywords (as discussed above), action words, powerful words, striking words, and emotional words. They are brief and meaningful. They are not clickbait—they are honest and supported by reliable sources. They are meant to capture people’s attention and let them know that clicking on the headline will give them something valuable.

11. Use Backlinks

12. Put Money In To Get Money Out

 

You should be spending money on a distinct domain name and on other types of marketing and advertising to get your website name out to more eyes. When more people see it, more people will visit it.

Advertising is an excellent yet expensive way to do this. If you do it properly, though, it can pay off in the end. Just be sure you are spending your money wisely.

There is no need to go overboard on advertising or the most expensive domain name you can find. Budget with meaning and try to look at your website from the eyes of your viewers. What do you want the experience to be like when people enter your web page? How do you want them to feel? What is the first thing you want them to see?

Building a website is a daunting task, but with these tips, you will be able to get to 100 visitors a day in no time!
