Get more members and more visitors to your Wetpaint site.

The following sections include great suggestions and ideas on how to improve your site, get the word out and make your site easier to discover.

Build Better Content
      The more unique content your site has about your topic, the more visitors you will attract. Make it easy for them to explore your content.

      Encourage Participation
          Get your members involved in creating a great site. Let them know how they can help and acknowledge when they do.


          Promote Your Site
              Invite your friends to join, then go to where like-minded people gather and tell them about your site.



              Top ten tips

              Here are 10 simple things you can do to improve your site:

              1. Give your home page a descriptive name. 6. Create To-Dos to encourage others to pitch in where you need it.
              2. Keep your home page text short. Put 4 to 5 links on your home page to deeper pages on your site. 7. Avoid creating blank pages. Add a call to action at the top to encourage contribution.
              3. Be welcoming! Tell people what they can do on your site. 8. Use headers and subheads to aid page scanning and to create a sense of information hierarchy.
              4. To aid users in finding content of interest, keep your site’s navigation menu well-organized. 9. Use keyword tags on every page to help users discover related content more easily.
              5. Update the site frequently with unique content. Refresh the home page to advertise the new pages. 10. Add lots of photos and videos. Remember to add links and descriptions to your photos.
