How You Can Help Leo Grow And Bring Traffic To Your Articles/Blogs

Ask not what you can do for Leo but what Leo can do for you. There is no question that the Leo team is doing an amazing job with the site and it looks like there is more coming. But this is a community and there is a lot that we can do in order to help this site grow. From positing to sharing links of Twitter you can make a difference into how well this site does which in turn will help how successful you can be on the site. I know it is hard (especially on days like today when it looks like Bitcoin isn't moving up anytime soon) but with the right ground-work we can see some great things by the end of the year or the start of next.

Here are some things that can help:

Make Your Articles At Least 300 Words (Though Try To Aim For 700)

300 should be your aim when you are writing any article as your base point. The reason for this is this is the rough number that Google is looking for to pick up the article. But articles that are longer usually do better in the algorithm so writing a post that is 700-1000 is even better if you can. This has nothing to do with quality. There are a lot of quality posts that are very short and there are ones that are very long, this is just about getting ranked in search engines. The higher you are ranked and the more articles that you have ranked the more traffic that you will get. This will help you for any site that you post on and will help bring more attention to Leo. But don't force it, if you have a short post you want to do it won't hurt to do it, just keep in mind these numbers when you write.

Make An SEO Friendly Title

The title is a big part of your article. Not only does it help your post stand out but it is a big factor to how well it ranks when people are searching online. You want to make the title eye catching and include phrases that people are searching for. Think like a person using a search engine. The words How To can help a lot as that is a phrase many people search for. But do not be dishonest and make clickbait titles. This will only hurt you long term as the trust in your online profile will drop with each article.

Use Pictures In Your Articles

Adding pictures really does make your work look more professional. There are lots of sources you can find for free photos that do not require attribution and can be used for commercial purposes. Sites like pexels and pixabay have a library of high quality photos that can make your post stand out. You can also edit them yourself and add wording in them to make them more unique from other users who are using similar photos. And if you are going to get into blogging full-time you might want to consider getting a subscription to Shutter Stock. They have a wider selection and you can probably find something for every post. They charge though so only use them if you start to make a profit from your work.

Run Contests And Other Events

If you do not want to write long articles a short fun contest can be just as helpful for the site. There are two things that Leo needs, they need traffic coming in and people staying here. Contests are a great way to get users involved and gives them something to post about. It can be daunting looking at a blank page and wondering where do I start. But giving people something to write about takes off that pressure. It is also a great way for new users to make some coins and get familiar to the site.

Comment

Not only does commenting help you grow your account but it makes the site more interactive. People use the site for different reasons. And for some a strong community of users that they can chat with is a big factor. Always be nice, and of course relevant. No one wants their post spammed with the same comment over and over again.

Use Twitter To Share Your Posts (And Others)

Twitter is a great way to share an article that you have read that you enjoyed or to promote your own work. Sharing links can help writers that you like and help bring in more traffic to the site. You do not have to be popular to share a link and

Write About Your Niche

When it comes to SEO and posting people tend to get overly-competitive over the top topics. Sure a lot of Leo users want to trend at the top of finance and crypto but those are extremely difficult to get. But there a lot of niche topics that people are searching for that a lot easier for you to get traction for. Especially if these are areas that you know well. Make posts about things that you are an expert in and the posts will be a lot stronger and can do better than a post you write about the topics at the top of trending.

At the end of the day if you are creating traffic and making this site an enjoyable experience for users you are helping the community. And do not stress. You are not going to be Bloomberg or Forbes overnight, so do your best to make good articles and you'll grow over time.
