Ask yourself why do people keep coming to your domain or website? What are they looking for there?
People go on the internet, to either get answers to their problems or take an adventure away from their dreary 8-5 jobs or dull existence.
- They’re going there for the thrills. So is your website providing thrills and answers to their problems?
- Let them experience another dimension or a special place where they can hang out.
Let them live through you.
- They see how fun your life is and they want to live like you and achieve the things you do.
- When you share your experiences with them, make it seem possible for them to be able to do it too.
Open up a new world for them.
- Provide unique stuff: Something different to all the other website of the same niche as yours.
- Broaden their perspective on life. Give them a chance to experience something new.
Taking folks down memory lane:
Funny enough a lot of popular sites display old masters’ paintings. I suppose not everyone likes modern bizarre abstract paintings and still admire the skill of the old masters!
Others display photos of the old days and what people wore then. Have you ever gone through your parent’s old wedding photos and laughed yourself silly at what they wore in those old days?!
For adventurist spirits:
Not everyone has the chance to travel. So people like to see where you have been and what it’s like there.
But don’t brag. I know when someone comes back from a trip the rest of the family don’t like watching reams and reams of photos.
- Make your blogs interesting, somewhat like an adventure thriller. Supply facts so they can consider going there and doing it too.
- Sports websites are popular: People who take bicycle trails through foreign countries and exciting places, have a huge following. It is maybe because reality shows are so popular.
- Make it seem like fun, even though strange and weird things happened on the way. Maybe the silly things you or someone else did, that made the trip so memorable.
Be bold:
Bold words are important because they grip people’s attention. Neat concise statements are easy to read and can be picked out at a glance.
Your authenticity:
Your unflinching personality gives your readers a feeling of confidence in your authority, if you know what you present is fact and true.
- That means doing research on a regular basis to keep in touch with the last technology.
- Whatever you learn about a certain thing or fact, check it out for yourself before presenting it.
- Your personal experience, good or bad, is a testimony of the theory or concept. Your mistakes are just important as the principles of the laws governing what you are presenting. Because we learn a lot from mistakes.
Last word:
I’m always impressed by people who run their websites with humble sincerity. Without airs and graces. Why, because, I relate to an honest person, who has started out just the same as myself. But not afraid to expose himself on podcast and videos (with warts and wrinkles… he-he). It gives one a feeling a one-on-one relationship. Making their authenticity more believable.
