How can I get users to come back to my site on a regular bases?
I have the project hackero.co, what I think is a really great service as I use it myself every day.
It is an easy site for reading hacker news accross different sites.
Whenever I post it to some communities it gets
Trending on Indie Hackers
Try to look at your service from the visitor's point of view.
Agreed. My first thought was "make a newsletter," but after looking, I might be interested in specific topics but this is a bit too general. For hackers, rss could be useful as well.
What would need to be in the RSS feed? Because it would be to much if all articels are in it?
Keep in mind rss isn't very popular these days. Maybe a bit more with hackers, but still fading.
I'm not particularly interested in another site that has a feed of generic tech news. But for those that like your site, you should provide some way for them to get updates (newsletter, rss, even PWA push notifications) to keep them coming back.
My specific feedback for me, personally (warning: sample size 1): If I see an article about something I'm learning or interested in, say "Setting up your own faas" and there some way to say "I'm interested in intermediate articles about open source faas" I might subscribe. But it sounds difficult to do - knowing at least what an article topic is (FaaS, open source, admin).
Hey all. Thank you for your Feedback <3
If there is a newsletter, what would you like to see in the newsletter? Best articles of the day/week? Or something else?
Thank you
Hi Simon,
There is a way to remarket users who visited your website and entice them to come back.
Hope this helps
Thanks
Thanks for that feedback! What do you mean by "contest for awareness"?
Interesting freebies to entice people to visit
I think it is one of the main problems for most of projects. I also have this problem. People like my website, give very nice feedback but traffic increasing very slow.
You should have some stable traffic source like Google Organic Search for example. I am trying to achieve that goal by investing into SEO
In your case having some mail list and sending daily/weekly emails can be smart.
Also I think best traffic source for your project can be direct traffic. People who saved your website to bookmarks can generate really good traffic but you have very strong opponents and they should choose your project.
Building Chrome and mobile apps can increase direct traffic. I am also planning to invest into that apps.
Good luck
But for SEO i would need own content, wouldn't I? All the content I have is not my own and changes a lot?
You still can do seo for people looking for something like your project. For example for leyword: only best tech news. But it won't be your primary source. Maybe you can invest into it last.
