Getting organic search engine traffic and attracting a dedicated readership is a combination of search engine optimization (SEO) and content marketing.
When done correctly, you can rank your website at the top of the search results organically only a couple of months after sending it live.
By applying the right content marketing strategies, you can drive free, organic traffic to your website via multiple other channels.
How do I know? Because I’ve all done it!
Since the very start, I’ve been optimizing my artist website for search engines—from the whole architecture of my site down to every single blog post I’ve ever published. I’ve been learning a lot about SEO and content marketing strategies, because I knew that otherwise it wouldn’t be possible to create visibility for my site.
My efforts definitely pay off, because—after five months only—multiple of my blog posts ranked position #1 on the search engine results pages (SERPs) and some even made it into the featured snippet of different search engines!
Every month, I’m getting a nice amount of organic traffic from search engines, social media networks, and other platforms where I promote my website. And all of that FOR FREE.
