Run an engagement-based contest on your business blog

[Jasz]

The number one way to get more traffic is to get people to come back to your blog.
Running contests is a great way to do this, but you have to make sure that you have a really good prize and that the winner gets the prize they want. This means you have to set up your contest in such a way that it's easy for people to enter, and then easy for you to manage the entries.

To do this, run an engagement-based contest on your business blog. Offer a gift or price, this will expose your business to the public and encourage them to follow you on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

For example, if you run a contest for people to build their own website, then the winner will get their own website built for them. If you run a contest for people to buy your product or service then the winner will get some of your product or service.

Yes running contest with a prize is a good way to get engagement but you have to be careful with this so as not to be known as the website that only offers engagement based contents, we are filtering species, our brain are always trying to sort out things and create a pattern.

So we have to be careful about the type of images we are projecting about our business I'll advise a business owner to introspect carefully and be sure of the type of contest they run and if it's the best way to drive traffic to the website or blog.

You can also explore other ways of generating traffic like social media marketing or building a following based on genuine helpful contents.
