Four years ago when I started my blog, I was not aiming to build my blogging career and build passive income. I was earning through social media marketing and a lot of clients were asking me if I had a personal website where they could check my portfolio, read customers reviews and also leave their own reviews.
I launched my one page website where I shared my resume that also included my work experience. It was such a happy feeling that I started sharing my website link on my social pages. Since I had a lot of followers, I received good traffic. Sadly, the bounce rate was 99 percent.
Why I had such a high bounce rate?
Well, a website will draw traffic with low bounce rate when it has useful and interesting content that the visitors will be encouraged to click one after another. My website had just one page.
Therefore, I started to build content so that the visitors would find something interesting to read and share, and in return I will get new contacts and reach new audience.
Based on my experience, I would say do not hurry with blog promotion. Publish a lot of useful and interesting content to keep the audience involved, so that you can build quality traffic steadily.
