Once you optimize those elements, when someone searches for a product, your product could rank number 1 on search result pages.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-265\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.shopbase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dropshipping-store-traffic-1-1.png\" alt=\"Free traffic sources for dropshippers who like SEO\" width=\"694\" height=\"518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shopbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dropshipping-store-traffic-1-1.png 694w, https:\/\/www.shopbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dropshipping-store-traffic-1-1-300x224.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 694px) 100vw, 694px\" \/><br \/><em>The first two results are shown when you search for the phrase \u201csilver heart bracelet\u201d.

First, simply list the features and peculiarities of each particular product. Second, add relevant keywords to the product description to make it informative and SEO-friendly. If you are optimizing your store for SEO, you should go with the latter.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When we say keywords, we don\u2019t just mean short tail keywords &#8211; we are talking <a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/long-tail-keywords\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"dofollow noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">long tail<\/a> ones, too. It\u2019s because there are hundreds, if not thousands of other dropshipping and\/or print on demand stores that focus on the same niche as you. And, they\u2019re all trying to rank for the same keywords. Hence, if you make use of long tail keywords, you can capture many previously-untapped customers. Take \u201canimal costumes\u201d as an example.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-266\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.shopbase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dropshipping-store-traffic-2.png\" alt=\"Optimize product descriptions\" width=\"489\" height=\"352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shopbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dropshipping-store-traffic-2.png 489w, https:\/\/www.shopbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dropshipping-store-traffic-2-300x216.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 489px) 100vw, 489px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Organic visitors don\u2019t only search for \u201canimal costumes\u201d. They are also using other word queries like \u201canimal costumes diy\u201d, \u201canimal costumes for kids\u201d, or a bunch of other keywords that you may not even know you are targeting. This is the beauty of long tail keywords.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To find such these keywords, you can work with <a href=\"https:\/\/adwords.google.com\/ko\/KeywordPlanner\/Home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"dofollow noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Google Keyword Planner<\/a> or brainstorm a keyword list on your own.

This shows Google that your site isn\u2019t only active, but you aren\u2019t just talking to your customers, but they are also talking with you and about you.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-268\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.shopbase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dropshipping-store-traffic-4.png\" alt=\"Encourage reviews and comments\" width=\"756\" height=\"218\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shopbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dropshipping-store-traffic-4.png 756w, https:\/\/www.shopbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dropshipping-store-traffic-4-300x87.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 756px) 100vw, 756px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Added to that, customer reviews and comments help organically build up long tail keywords or specific phrases that have low competition but high search intent. For instance, you may have optimized for <em>\u201cnatural moisturizer\u201d,<\/em> but you\u2019re facing a great deal of competition for this keyword that makes it hard to rank high. Meanwhile, <em>\u201cnatural moisturizer that won&#8217;t clog pores\u201d <\/em>may have much less competition and be searched by shoppers with a specific intent to find and buy this product. Your customers, by posting what they love about your product, can give insight into how your organic visitors really talks and what they search for.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To get more customer reviews and comments on your product, try these:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Add some call to action buttons for customers to leave a review on your store.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<li>Make your review process easy and make it mobile.<\/li>\r\n<li>Give your customers something valuable in exchange for reviews and comments.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Write_and_update_blog_posts\"><\/span>3.

You don\u2019t need to be a great writer or an expert in your niche in order to share your thoughts. However, before creating any post on forums, keep in mind the following:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Every forum has its own rules that oblige all members to follow. If you want to stay longer on a forum, abide by the rules.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<li>Get to know exactly what you can and can\u2019t write in a particular community.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<li>Provide value first. The more help you are to people, the quicker you\u2019ll gain recognition, and the sooner you\u2019ll become a reputable member. As a result, your business also gets more trust.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<li>Add your store link to your forum signature. Visitors of the forum or other forum members who like what you share could visit your store to find out more about you.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For example, if you just launched a wedding accessory dropshipping store, you can join a wedding forum to help out new brides. When someone asks for wedding favor ideas, you can refer him\/her back to your site.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-276\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.shopbase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dropshipping-store-traffic-12.png\" alt=\"Go on forums\u00a0\" width=\"783\" height=\"294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shopbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dropshipping-store-traffic-12.png 783w, https:\/\/www.shopbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dropshipping-store-traffic-12-300x113.png 300w, https:\/\/www.shopbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dropshipping-store-traffic-12-768x288.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 783px) 100vw, 783px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingwire.com\/wedding-forums\/wedding-bands-what-when-and-where\/4f9d75ffa9dd4699.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">WeddingWire<\/a><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Post_your_store_to_Reddit\"><\/span>10.

Most of its users are based in the US, Canada, and the UK. On Reddit, you can submit store links that are relevant to each specific community. You can also submit text posts as your own original content, which is good to drive quality traffic to your store.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In a word, you have two options to grow traffic from Reddit:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>Advertise your products<\/strong>. Reddit allows you to buy ad space in the sponsored links section on the site.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Create something creative, friendly, and smart to share with others<\/strong>. For example, if you are selling leggings, you might create a post on how to wear leggings under a dress, with a few helpful links to drive traffic to your store.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Traffic_sources_for_dropshippers_who_like_videos\"><\/span>Traffic sources for dropshippers who like videos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you enjoy creating videos and have enough resources to make them on a regular basis, don\u2019t miss out the opportunity to use those videos as a powerful traffic driver.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Create_a_YouTube_channel\"><\/span>11.

By making use of this biggest video sharing service, you can draw more engagement to your store, and at the same time, get free traffic.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>What kind of content can you create for your channel?

Therefore, they can get more trust in your brand and feel encouraged to buy your products.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5u00hOwnUpk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To create a customer testimonial video, you can ask your past customers to make a video of themselves talking about the product they bought from you and why they like it. Don\u2019t forget to give them something in return for this and ask them for permission before you use their video.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Product_reviews\"><\/span>#2 Product reviews<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A great way to spark some interest in your products is to make a video of it while you review it. This way, you can link back to that product in your YouTube video description.

But, instead of just sharing a YouTube link, it\u2019s better to upload them on your selected platform directly.

All you need to do is to find YouTube or Vimeo channels that are connected to the products you\u2019re selling in your store, or to the whole business niche.

Partner with influencers\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>People trust personalities (in other words, the persons they follow) more than brands. Therefore, partnering with influencers can help get traffic, increase engagement, and do branding for your store.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Normally, influencers post their content on Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, etc. Out of these platforms, Instagram is suitable for lifestyle products like fashion and makeup. YouTube is meant for products that need good visuals. Meanwhile, Snapchat is good for reaching the younger audience. Keep these in mind to figure out where you should access to find your right influencer.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-285\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.shopbase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dropshipping-store-traffic-21.png\" alt=\"Partner with influencers\u00a0\" width=\"746\" height=\"478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shopbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dropshipping-store-traffic-21.png 746w, https:\/\/www.shopbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dropshipping-store-traffic-21-300x192.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 746px) 100vw, 746px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There are two basic ways that influencers can help promote your brands:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Influencers review your product and interact with it in a positive way. They are the influencers that have followers with the highest intent to buy and have the most potential for your dropshipping\/print on demand business. To achieve great success, you should look for people that review products like yours.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<li>Influencers use your product in the content (e.g. video or blog posts) they create. You can ship your product to the influencers and ask them to use it in their videos.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"19_Join_discussion_groups\"><\/span>19.

It\u2019s something you use every day\u2026 Something (almost) everyone you know uses regularly as well. It\u2019s Facebook groups.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There are a large number of Facebook groups you can join that cater to all different niches. Many of them have several thousands of members. To find your desired groups, just type the keywords into the Facebook search box, and you\u2019ll find a number of quality groups you can join.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-286\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.shopbase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dropshipping-store-traffic-22.png\" alt=\"Join discussion groups\u00a0\" width=\"725\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shopbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dropshipping-store-traffic-22.png 725w, https:\/\/www.shopbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dropshipping-store-traffic-22-300x144.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 725px) 100vw, 725px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Once you\u2019re a member, you can start interacting with others in the group like creating new posts or giving advice to other members in the comment section.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Traffic_sources_for_sociable_dropshippers\"><\/span>Traffic sources for sociable dropshippers\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For some people, talking to strangers is like a nightmare.

If you are sociable and extroverted, you can apply these three techniques to grow your business.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"20_Cross_promotion\"><\/span>20. Cross promotion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Simply put, you find a blog or a store that is built around the same niche as yours, and then contact the owner. You offer to mention each other in one another\u2019s social media posts in order to increase your audience coverage.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This is similar to Instagram shoutouts strategy &#8211; the only exception is that none of you is doing it for money. Both of you are partners and benefiting from this collaboration, so being nice is the key to a long-lasting partnership.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Alternatively, you can start with a cross-posting strategy. That is, repost some entries of your partner (don\u2019t forget to mention the author!) and ask to do the same for you in return.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"21_Guest_posting\"><\/span>21. Guest posting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>First things first: let\u2019s define the term. Guest posting means you write and publish an article on someone else\u2019s blog. If done correctly, guest posting on other sites is <a href=\"https:\/\/goinswriter.com\/guest-posting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">five times<\/a> as valuable as creating new content on your own site.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When you do guest posting, the host blogger must include a link to your blog somewhere (usually at the beginning or end of the blog). Over time, this backlink will raise the value of your blog to search engines, making your content easier to find.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-287\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.shopbase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dropshipping-store-traffic-23.png\" alt=\"Guest posting\" width=\"873\" height=\"198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shopbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dropshipping-store-traffic-23.png 873w, https:\/\/www.shopbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dropshipping-store-traffic-23-300x68.png 300w, https:\/\/www.shopbase.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/dropshipping-store-traffic-23-768x174.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 873px) 100vw, 873px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you use this tactic to grow traffic, bear these in mind:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Always write for sites or stores related to your brand and reach out to credible blogs.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<li>Always link to the post from your blog or link to your store. Then, share it on Facebook, thank the person who allows you to guest post, and respond to comments on the post as soon as possible.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Remember that lots of new potential buyers will see your guest article, and its quality will influence their buying decisions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You can also ask the partner to write an article for you, and post it with all the due credits. You\u2019ll get great engaging content, and your partner will get increased media coverage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"22_Create_an_affiliate_campaign\"><\/span>22.
