Venas News daily page views have surged past 300, 000, which translates to a total of 10 million page views per month.
The website was launched in 2015 and has progressively grown to become one of the most popular sites in Kenya .We started with one page view per day,then 10,100,100,10,000,100,000 and now 300,000.For bloggers, you may wonder, what is the secret?
If you are keen, you will notice this website appears nowhere in social media, which brings a question, how does the owner market it? Well, when we launched Venas News our goal was to experiment whether it’s possible for a website to go viral without social media-we now have the answer…. It’s very possible.
Since we aren’t selfish with information, we would like reveal that 98 % of our traffic comes from search engines, with only 2 % coming from social media.
At Venas News, we focus on long tail keywords (you can sign up for Long Tail Keyword tool here), and we mostly get it right. For newbies, a blog title has 70% influence on your blog post’s traffic. If your title is not appealing to readers, they may ignore a good story,thus impacting negatively on your traffic. We try as much as possible to make our blog titles appealing.
Another secret is to write what people are searching for online. We learnt this through SEMrush, which I recommend to any blogger (You can sign up for free here).Once you understand what people are searching for online and write stories based on that information, your traffic will progressively go up.
We also use ConvertKit, which is important for digital marketing. This tool helps people subscribe to your content such that whenever you post an article, they will readily receive it.Assuming you have 100,000 subscibers and you send the article to this population, at least 50,000 will read and share it, which makes it easy for you to grow.ConvertKit allows you to sign up for free and learn how it is implemented (sign up here).We also made sure our site is hosted by a reliable hosting company. Venas News is hosted by kinsta,which is now the best company to host viral websites.The company’s servers are so powerful that no matter how many visitors your blog receives,the site will not go down.If you have issues with your current hosting company,you can migrate your site to Kinsta.You can see their plans through this link
Even with this amount of traffic, we are still determined to grow.Soon we shall be active on social media.Our Facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/venasnews/ ,you can like it.
For advertisers, you have a chance to market your products and reach a wide audience. The best way to do it is through sponsored articles on Venas News.For example, if you have a new product and you want to market it online, you contact us together with information on that particular item. We shall edit your article to make it reader friendly before posting it on our blog. Assuming 10,000 people read the article, about 50 will contact you and out of this number,10 will buy the product. Besides the sales, your company will have positive online image.
Alternatively, you can place a banner on our website (the cost is negotiable),but we would be happy to promote struggling businesses.
