How to Use Tumblr to Drive Traffic to Site
Thanks to Marissa Mayer's decision to purchase Tumblr, this site isn't going anywhere anytime soon. While we still have to wait for the major changes to unroll, we'll just have to enjoy using the site for that extra traffic.
How do you get traffic from Tumblr? By posting re-bloggable posts. This means you'll have to create memes, gifs, and other cool images that get the community excited.
That said, Tumblr isn't for every site. For instance, if you're promoting a garden tiller, it's better to create a Pinterest board on garden equipment or gardening instead.
So what is Tumblr for?
Tumblr is the place to promote a site about TV shows (which you can use to promote affiliate products), and a good place to promote fashion and style. For instance, a pair of cool Adidas sneakers and a funny gif featuring Miley Cyrus have good chances of getting re-blogged.
To create posts that get re-blogged, here are some suggestions.
Say, if you're promoting an e-book on survival tips, you might want to use the TV series The 100. If you've seen at least one episode of the show, it tells the story of 100 juvenile delinquents being sent to post-apocalyptic Earth to see if it's survivable.
What you can do is to create a free blog / site about it using Blogspot. Fill it with your commentaries, opinions, and other related content. Note that your content should talk more about survival and not really about the show. Then, hook it up with a digital product like an e-book. Or for better chances of a sale, promote the show's DVD and give people some costume ideas.
To promote the site using Tumblr, you can create gifs, memes, and other cool images featuring Bellamy's abs, Clarke and Finn's love story, and even Jasper's funny mannerisms.
Here are some of these images that you can model upon and upload on Tumblr.
