So here we are, 5 years into the online business using WA supportive platform.

I'm not the most active in the community and I appologize for this. In fact, I haven't been able to publish much on my website for 6 months.

Yet I haven't experience much decrease in traffic. If anything, my traffic has actually slightly improved and is now coming from Bing search engine and very little from Google.

On may of 2018 I've experienced a huge audience crash and Google never gave my website a chance to rank well again despite many SEO improvements. It seems that with them nothing beats paid campaigns. By paid I mean very expensive ones. Unless of course you happen to be in the utopic case of a niche with 1- high search rate, 2- inexistent competition 3- a stable audience interest growth year after year.

I've always considered that my biggest weakness to be able to rank is that I'm not able to write enough posts with enough words in a short period of time. But with experience, I now realize that the time I've spent writting certain low quality post would have been better invested in building credibility on specific social media platforms. Social media presence seems to pay off for my website and its the steadiest although slow growth stream I have.

Feel free to share your experience in the comments. I'd love to know how its been going for you so far.

Wishing you success and happiness!

Caroline

Thanks Jeff!

You're welcome!

Hi Carolyn, thank you for sharing. I am still new to this and still not much into social media sharing (never have been a social media fan), but I do think it's probably a good platform for your line of business. I believe word of mouth plays an important role as well and social media would be a great channel for that.

Hi Steven, word of mouth and any direct interactions with people that are interested in your niche is the best. The old strategy of building trust works and no search engine can take that away from you.

Wishing you great success!

Hi Carolyn many thanks for the info very useful
