Does any reaction occur whenever you hear the word “coupons”? Well, for me, it wasn’t initially like that, until I started my medifast and nutrisystem diet blog. The only great thing about coupons was that I use them whenever I go to the mall, or whenever I want to buy a product online, but over time, I’ve come to realize how great and influential coupons can be for bloggers. I have been leveraging the power of coupons for years now, and through it, I have built several successful blogs and online businesses, including my medifast and nutrisystem diet blog. In this article, I will be sharing with you 3 ways to use coupons to build a successful blog.
Use it to Get Traffic
I know you might be surprised to hear that coupons can be used to generate traffic to a blog, but you will be amazed at how powerful they can be.
As far as blogging is concerned, the reality is that traffic is the lifeblood of any blog, so it is very important not to ignore any technique that can help you generate traffic to your blog. A great way to get traffic to your blog is by running coupon contests. By running the contest you can either give people a special discount or coupon to a very valuable product you own or you can give them discounts for even better products offered by someone else. While the coupon isn’t physical cash, if it is something valuable enough you will be able to get a lot of people to join.
The main purpose of the contest will be to get people to share your post and invite their friends, and as a result you will be selecting a few winners to be given your coupon. I ran a contest on my blog with Facebook coupons using this technique, and it worked really well.
Use it to Improve Engagement
Another way you can use coupons to build a successful blog is by using it to improve engagement on your blog. The main purpose of the contest will be to get a lot of people to comment on your articles or share your articles, and you can give this kind of contest a lot of spin in such a way that will benefit you. For example, you can easily run a top commentator contest every month in which the top 5 or top 10 commenters will be given a special coupon for different products, or you can easily run a contest in which the person who refers the most people to your blog will receive a discount coupon for a special product.
Use it to Make Money
The final way you can use coupons to build a successful blog is to help you make money. The reality is that it doesn’t how much traffic you have or how much engagement there is around your blog; traffic is all that matters at the end. You can easily make a lot of money by creating products and then selling your products with limited time offers or discount coupons, and you can even use these coupons to get affiliate to promote your products – either ways, it is a win for you.
