Launching a new business website or blog today, where there’s already so much going on on the Internet, can seem like you’re not even a drop in the bucket. But when your livelihood is at stake, it’s your determination for success that can really make the difference for you in creating a website or blog that will bring your ultimate success.

However, no one can find this success with just their drive alone. To really carve out a space for your new business website amidst so many others, you’ve got to find some way to make a splash. 

So to help you in accomplishing this, here are three tips for getting some buzz around your new business website or blog. 

Create A Pre-Launch Countdown Page

Even before your website has launched, you can still work to make its going live a most anticipated event. The best way to do this, according to John Rampton, a contributor to Forbes.com, is to create a pre-launch webpage where you can countdown the launch of your actual website.

By using this tactic, you can start creating buzz around your new website or blog before its even launched. This can help to make the traffic to your blog start coming in much sooner and spread the word about your business far before you’re ready to start making sales. To hit the ground running like this could be a big boon to you. 

Work With The Media

If you’re able to get the media on your side, they could be very helpful in creating some real buzz around your new website or blog. 

One way to do this, according to NeilPatel.com, is to reach out the influencers or thought leaders within your industry well before you’ve launched your website. Then, if these influencers are impressed by what they’ve seen from your business, they could start sending you referral traffic just as soon as your website is ready. 

The links that they can give to you as a new website can prove to be invaluable for bringing people to your website when they might not have been able to find you any other way. 

Organize A Contest Or Competition

In some cases, your website will have already launched before you realize that you’re not getting the traffic that you might have wanted. To address this issue, Maria Harutyunyan, a contributor to SmallBusinessBonfire.com, suggests organizing some kind of contest or competition.

Because everyone loves free stuff, holding a contest that brings more people to your website and offers a prize that is somehow related to your business can be a great way to get the attention of people who might otherwise have completely overlooked you. 

If you have a new business website or blog, consider using the tips mentioned above to get some buzz around your new online venture.
