How to promote your new website (beyond SEO)

SEO is powerful but slow — a new site takes months to build rankings. Meanwhile, there's plenty you can do to drive traffic and start getting value from your site right away.

Quick ways to drive early traffic

• •Put your website everywhere — email signature, social bios, business cards, invoices.
• •Tell your existing customers and network.
• •Post your work and link back from social media.
• •List it in relevant local directories.

Turn visitors into repeat contact

Capture emails or encourage a follow so early visitors don't disappear. Then keep publishing and earning links so your organic traffic compounds over time.
