Boost site traffic

Hi folks!

Recently I had launched my website, using the knollege TreeHouse has furnished me. Here it is, please feel free to check and comment if you like

www.designplayground.pt

However the question now is the trafffic, how can I get a high traffic in order to obtain feedback from my audience? I confess I am a bit lost there, I made some Facebook advertising but the number of people that actually interact are almost null and the number of visitors tracked by Google Analytics are less then 30 a day. So what to do know to boost this? Google Add Words?

Thank you very much for your help.

Before you start driving anyone to your site fix the typos and general text errors. Then you start a broader Facebook campaign, and yes Google Adwords, then make some tutorials and a short advertisement and start a YouTube channel for aspiring graphic designers.

you mean there are still some misspellings and confused words in the text? English is not my native language, I gess I have to look it up again, thanks for the warning.

Tutorials about what? You mean create a short lenght movie advertising the services?

Ok some of these were big, some were small ,but beauty is in the details I'm not just being picky trust me.

OK just to be helpful I re-wrote all of the bugs I could easily spot plus a few poor sentence structures that just didn't look good, it was taking to long to point them all out so just copy and replace the with the following if you want.

Sorry to the mods if it isn't cool to post all that

this isn't all but I cant do the whole site like this on the forum

OH and yes I mean put together little lessons on how to do different things on illustrator or whatever logos render shapes etc people love subscribing to channels with quality film work and content though so don't webcam it

Well thanks. The homepage footer has the last testimonial and was actually a client that wrote it, not me. I had make the alterations you suggest and placed your text. I really appreciate people like, that actually reach out and clarify others, thank you for that. As I said english is not my native language so text errors and misspellings occur with some frequency, I am afraid to say, Ofcourse that´s simply awfull if you wanna introduce your business to a global market and that is why I cannot thank you enough for this approach to me.

Regarding the Youtube Videos, we have a team member that actually knows how to create advertising videos, using graphic elements. We are going to create one but in a later stage. At this point my main goals are to obtain the maximum exposure and feedback as possible by Social Media and Google. Never made a tutorial before, I supose could be fun to do.

Hey no problem man, yes definitely utilize your friends and make some videos even simple lessons to help out begginers with links to your site that will help a lot.

Good Luck with everything
