Growing Cryptocurrency News Site

I have a news site built on Wordpress in the cryptocurrency niche, and was wondering if anyone had any ideas or tips on how I could grow it. I'm willing to pay for anyone that can help!

Contact crypto projects and tell them to write a news story about their own project and submit to you for sharing. Then tell them if they share it across all of their socials they don't need to pay anything for publishing (or they get a low fee for publishing).

Subscribe to newsletters of any crypto project you can find, and you will have a pretty decent flow of incoming releases from projects after you subscribe to enough of them. How you use them is up to you.

Include crypto relevant blogs in your site, add posts and share them on social media.

The first thing you need to focus on for your cryptocurrency news site is content volume.

You have to produce enough daily content for high-interest crypto.

This is not as easy as you think because while there's a lot of buzz about crypto, most of the attention is focused on, maybe, a couple or three dozen cryptocurrencies and tokens.

The rest gets lost in the shuffle.

You have to know the right priority for which news item to rewrite and publish on your site.

You may be running an aggregation site where you're just using RSS feeds to publish other people's content automatically.

This could fly, but you end up with a different set of problems.

People will only visit your site if they feel you're aggregating information that they're interested in.

So you have to have a hook or a theme to position your cryptocurrency news site.

I would suggest that you build a robust presence on social media platforms.

If you can pull news that is late-breaking and doesn't get enough mentions in the rest of the blogosphere, you can get noticed by other bloggers by simply tweeting about these updates.

They can link to you or drive you direct traffic.

Another thing you can do is to set up accounts on the target Facebook groups and sub-Reddits where people regularly post crypto news.

The way to play this game is to be always the first to break the news to the group.

You have to understand that distributing content and links to a wide range of places on the Internet does not automatically translate to traffic.

You first have to earn people's trust, and with any news niche site, this usually turns on the following questions:

Are you curating or focusing on the right pieces of information?

Do you have a different spin from the specialized news that people can easily get from other sites?

Is there a compelling reason for people to go to your news site instead of somebody else's?

Are you building a list or using push notifications to build a solid base of returning readers?

Thank you so much for your insight, funny thing, I was pushing out 50 posts per day, all of them being automatically pulled from other news sites and being paraphrased (the paraphrasing was good English too and didn't sound like a bot lol) and I got a cease and desist letter so had to stop. Now coming up with a new strategy!

You should have just aggregated instead of rewritten their stuff

Content aggregation (think Drudgereport) is a legit way of getting traffic and driving traffic to the content you're aggregating

Where you went wrong is in how you rewrote their stuff

Either you are going to actually write stuff (info is not copyright protected) or drive traffic through curation.

You tried to do something in the middle using 'content writing AI' and got burned

There are smart ways to summarize info and link to source while building the brand of your site (think Breitbart or DailyWire or most other legit news sites out there)

I wish you the best of luck on your next project

Consider your bad experience part of your tuition in learning how to build a online empire!

Don't do that. Google is smart and will give you site 4 penalty. You won't index more than 4 pages, no matter what would you do. Max 2-3 posts/day hand written and unique. No affiliate links until you get organic traffic from google

Their is two ways to promote it , do black hat seo Or simply use white hat seo For long time good results comeup !

I don't think it's healthy if you source your content from voluntary contributors. Most of the voluntary ones are willing to do it for bigger news sites but not for starting ones. You need a regular stream of good quality content.

what's the name of your website? wish you the best.

Collect daily traffic from different sources and redirect it all to your main domain.

It will grow.
