The main goal of any website, regardless of focus, is to attract visitors that will ultimately support the mission of the company, organization, or cause. My Town Tutors is no different.
We want consistent traffic 24 hours, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. How can this be accomplished?
1. Be transparent: Our goal is to connect with parents who are looking for quality local teachers who tutor and teachers who are looking to make up to $5,000 a year tutoring! Keeping these two goals in mind, we try to create content that is useful to ALL parents (even those not looking for tutors) and ALL teachers (even those who do not tutor.) Below are some the methods we use to attract specific visitiors.
2. Guest Blogs: We are so proud of our guest blogs and the high-quality authors we attract. The range of topics is incredible. Here are some unique posts that attract a wide range of parents and teachers to www.mytowntutors.com. (Remember that is the #1 goal.)
