If you have listed your hobby on your website, you need to do something to drive traffic to your site. Traffic is not just traffic. You should be looking for targeted traffic, that is, traffic from visitors to your site who are genuinely interested in the same hobby as you. By writing articles on aspects of your hobby, you will be able to attract many interested visitors; see below how to do it and how to promote yourself in relation to your hobby.
I assume that you are already writing texts about your hobby to put on your site. It is extremely important that you write such useful information about your hobby to your visitors. Good articles on your site are also good for Google and other search engines when search engines crawl and index your site.
But what we are adding to this task of writing articles are articles about your hobby that are not placed on your own site, but are made available to other websites and ezine publishers. It may sound strange that you should help other sites to get good texts, and some of these sites might even be sort of competitors for your hobby traffic on your site. But the clever mechanism is as follows.
What will you do: 1. Write articles focused on your hobby with your name and links to your website included in the author resource box.
2. Post them for free distribution on article sites like EzineArticles.com, GoArticles.com, and ArticleFriendly.com.
What other website owners will do: 1. Select your articles focused on your hobby and publish them on your websites and blogs to have good and relevant content for your visitors and information to be indexed by Google and other search engines.
2. At the same time, these webmasters will make your article and links to your site more popular in cyberspace.
What ezine publishers will do: 1. Publishers and ezine publishers will make use of your articles by publishing them in their newsletters on the same hobby as yours or in similar relevant ezines.
2. At the same time, the publishers of the ezine will make your hobby article and links to your site more known in cyberspace and you will become a brand related to your hobby.
What relevant hobby enthusiasts will do: People with the same hobby as yours will read your articles on different websites and in different ezines they subscribe to and click through to your website and drive targeted traffic to their hobby pages. At the same time, they will know your qualifications: you will gain respect for your work with the hobby, and your name and person will be rated as some kind of authority of that hobby.
Summarizing the article writing strategy. Many people are very enthusiastic about their hobby and other leisure activities and spend a lot of time online to find information and participate in communities that share the same hobby.
Think of the many kinds of hobbies people have, from collecting all sorts of things to participating in sports and other activities: collecting stamps, collecting coins, collecting antiques, paintings, art, all sorts of artifacts, but also a passion for dogs , cats or other pets, music, travel, gardening, bonsai, orchids, singing in a choir, photography, shooting videos, and some have reading books (fiction) as a kind of passion and hobby.
Many hobbies are becoming more and more popular, such as golf, bird watching, traveling, biking, hiking, wine tasting, fine dining, etc.
If you engage in different types of activities like these, you should add them to your website, or better yet, develop a whole new website focused on each of your hobbies or other passions.
Over time, you will be able to benefit from these hobby websites in many ways. You may even be able to generate a nice extra income, but that’s another story.
Either way, you need targeted traffic to your hobby pages, and good quality, focused articles for free distribution are a very efficient way to achieve this. Keep in mind that the Internet is getting more and more sophisticated. Websites are becoming more and more specialized, and web searches are becoming much more focused, which means that if you want your hobby’s website to be found, you need to do something about it. And here, article writing is one of the best tools that you can focus on, also because you will get a lot of links to your website about your hobby or hobbies.
