Quality is more important than quantity; even if you\u2019re posting to your blog regularly, it won\u2019t do much good if your content is fluffy and without substance. Focus on one particular question or problem at a time, something where you know a lot of people are searching for a solution. Invest time and resources into creating the best possible answer, better than anything else available online. This will help establish you as a thought leader in your industry, increasing your authority and ultimately bringing in more clients.<\/p>\n<h2>Nicolas Le Roux<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Nicolas Le Roux is growth hacking expert at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.botletter.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Botletter<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"pic-sec\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/mandmwebsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Nicolas_Le_Roux.png\" alt=\"Nicolas Le Roux\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nico_lrx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/nico_lrx<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>First, a growth hacking strategy should be included in a global growth strategy.

Just in this past year alone, we&#8217;ve grown our traffic by 360%. Here are a few recommendations:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"innerlist\">\n<li>As long as Google is an algorithm it will always rely on keywords to some extent. Therefore do keyword research with tools such as <a href=\"https:\/\/kwfinder.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener noreferrer\">KWFinder<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Analyze your competitor&#8217;s traffic, content, and pages. You can always find things that are working and then replicate this strategy. I highly recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener noreferrer\">Ahrefs<\/a> tool for this.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t just write though based on search volume&#8230; write based on what you think your customers or visitors will want and or need. For businesses, they need to realize that some posts will be for branding purposes, while others are to convert traffic. There should always be a purpose for an article.<\/li>\n<li>Monitor the progress of your content and keyword rankings. We utilize the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accuranker.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener noreferrer\">Accuranker<\/a> tool for this at Kinsta.

Our favorite growth hacking strategy is a follow-first growth hack to build a large and engaged Twitter following. This is the idea behind our software tool here at Social Quant. It\u2019s also how we\u2019ve grown our accounts and gotten a great deal of our customers.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, a follow-first growth strategy on Twitter involves identifying the perfect accounts you want to connect with on Twitter \u2013 typically by using social listening to monitor for specific keywords and behaviors \u2013 and then following those accounts.<\/p>\n<p>When you follow those accounts first, they will get a notification and a good percentage will come and check out your Twitter profile page. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.socialquant.net\/twitter-profile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener noreferrer\">Optimizing your Twitter profile<\/a> is paramount if you want this strategy to work. You\u2019ll need a great Twitter header photo, a descriptive and enticing bio, a profile pic that\u2019s representative of you or your business and, probably most importantly, a great pinned tweet (a tweet you set to stay at the top of your profile).<\/p>\n<p>A strong pinned tweet is a fantastic way to drive traffic back to your website. One of the most effective ways to use your pinned tweet is to promote what\u2019s known as a lead magnet \u2013 a free offering of something of value you\u2019re willing to give away in exchange for an email address.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to grow your online business?
