Private domain operations are like digging a pond to raise fish; having just a hole is not enough, the key is to bring the water in. Many people spend all day pondering how to stir things up in the private domain, forgetting that the most important thing is to let the fresh water in first. Attracting traffic is not just about casually tossing a QR code; it involves a complete set of tactics.

First, let's talk about where to attract traffic

There are mainly three directions, just like three water channels:

1. Content platforms are the main force. Nowadays, everyone is hanging out on Douyin, Xiaohongshu, and Zhihu. When posting content on these platforms, remember it's not hard advertising; you need to provide real value. For instance, teaching people how to choose cosmetics or sharing practical life tips. Don’t miss out on places like Bilibili, Douban, and Tieba; each platform has a specific audience. The key is that the content should be solid, able to solve problems, and people will naturally want to follow you.

2. Order customers are ready-made resources. Customers who have already purchased items from Taobao, JD, or Pinduoduo are potential friends. You can invite them to add you on WeChat through packaging cards when shipping, after-sales follow-ups, or directly sending a text message. The conversion rate in this area is usually high because there is already a trust from past transactions.

3. Don't waste offline stores either. Salespeople at physical stores can ask customers to add them on WeChat, making it convenient for future recommendations of new products and events. Clothing stores and cosmetic shops are the best fit for this, and restaurants can also offer a small dish if they add you on WeChat.

Next, let's talk about how to let users discover you

Getting people to add you voluntarily is more effective than you adding people everywhere:

1. Put your contact information in a prominent place. You can add a "Add me" badge to your account profile picture, write directly in your nickname "Contact me for discounts", and freely leave your contact information in your profile. The background image is also a good place; it can be designed to be both attractive and practical.

2. Skillfully guide in interactions. When responding to questions in the comments, you can say "Detailed plans can be obtained via private message", set up automatic replies to guide adding you on WeChat, and you can also naturally bring up your WeChat number during private messages. When doing live streams, you can even showcase QR codes directly.

3. Make good use of every package. When shipping, include a well-designed card inside the package, clearly stating what discounts can be enjoyed by adding you on WeChat. For electronic products, you can print the QR code on the instruction manual.

It is important to note that each platform has different rules, so you need to get a clear understanding before proceeding. Keep the information consistent, allowing users to recognize you no matter where they are. If the platform has strict regulations, it’s wise to first lead to a public account before transferring to WeChat.

What are the traffic exposure channels

Finally, let's talk about why people should add you

Give users a compelling reason to add you:

• Provide tangible services. For example, someone buying a house can receive professional consultation, and someone purchasing electronics can get after-sales support. As long as it’s a service that users need, they will naturally want to add you.

• Share valuable resources. If you are an industry expert, you can share exclusive materials; if you have good connections, you can showcase them appropriately. These are all attractive bargaining chips.

• Give some incentives. Sending coupons is the most common approach, but the amount shouldn’t be too stingy, and the usage conditions shouldn’t be too complicated. For knowledge payment, you can give some materials, and for physical products, you can send a small gift. Sometimes, conducting limited-time activities leveraging scarcity can also draw people in.

How to attract traffic

In short, attracting traffic is a technical task that requires finding the right place, using the right methods, and providing enough reasons. Treat traffic attraction as a systematic project to ensure that the private domain pond always has fresh water flowing in. Remember, without attracting traffic, all subsequent operational means are just empty talk. Someone on the internet has summarized a formula for converting private domain traffic into retained traffic🫱: Retained Traffic = Channel + Attraction + Maintenance + Transaction. Now that we have clarified the types of our channels and the system of attraction, we should think about how to maintain users and facilitate transactions. AI undoubtedly cannot replace the entire process of user maintenance and transactions, but integrating AI🤖 to enhance operational efficiency in new customer engagement, old customer management, and transaction analysis scenarios is increasingly becoming the choice of many companies today.

The core value of private domains is not in short-term harvesting, but in continuously operating to convert "traffic" into "retained traffic"—high loyalty and high repurchase rate user assets. AI frees you from repetitive Q&A, allowing you to focus on more valuable tasks, creating content that users are more interested in, because users must first see you to choose you.
