Ask Jason, How do I grow my website?

TWiST 31

Dan O’Donnell, Founder of Positive Atmosphere would like to know, how do I grow my site?  Dan’s approach so far has been a lot of Facebook and Twitter and some paid adwords, he wants to know is their a better method.

Jason and Jack recommend:  People need a reason to come to a site, you have to keep it exciting, keep the conversation going.  Jason refers to “Demonstrative Growth” by showing that the community is building and gaining momentum and people will want to be part of that.  If possible recognize users for their participation and keep your core listeners involved and they will promote for you.  The energy of the group will help drive your site.

Additional suggestions for the site, create book groups, review and discuss books in the space, when you are noticed by the author, you may be able to get the author to participate.  Which will create buzz and excitement within the community.  The web site needs work, Jason recommends a new logo and to change the homepage to a calender of events, where it is easy for fans to find topics that interest them (ie. Tony Robbins Tuesdays, or Marriage Mondays).
