3.) Use Facebook pages to draw traffic.

If you haven’t made a Facebook Fan-page for your blog yet, then go away. Don’t read this post any further.
Well, jokes apart. It’s the first step any blogger should follow. A Facebook Fanpage with decent amount of “LIKES” can generate significant traffic daily, if handled the right way.

Create a Fanpage for your website. To increase virality use image posts and use links of your site’s post in the description. You can also tag the maximum no. of people i.e 50 to increase the post’s reach. If properly done, this step alone can bring 100-200 loyal visitors to your site daily, keeping the estimation of likes to be around 1000.  The greater the number of likes you accumulate, the greater will be the buzz you generate. You can either work on your fan-page yourselves or hire some experts to do so.

TIP : You can also say free brothers and sisters  to work for you on the Fanpage in exchange of candies! Lol, just kidding.
