To Drive Traffic Without Spending Money - 5 Ways


METHOD 1 - SOCIAL MEDIA

Social media is free to use and more powerful than any of us imagined it could be.
The big five seem to be ...
  1. Facebook
  2. Instagram
  3. Twitter
  4. LinkedIn
  5. Pinterest
Some will disagree with that list and that's okay. But Facebook is the 800 pound gorilla whether we like it or not.

No matter which platform you choose, you need something valuable to say.
This is the stopping point for most people.

Happily, you don't have to be a writer to have good things to say!

Here's why ... social media is about being social AND about doing business too.

One actionable idea is this - buy a Private Label Rights product that you can give away and create a Facebook page that gives the product free to people who "like" you.

This one method alone can unleash a viral avalanche and help you build your email mailing list at the same time.

After all, how many PLR reports and products do you have on your hard drive right now?
Let's put 'em to use!
A win-win!

METHOD 2 - ANSWER QUESTIONS

It has always been true that people have questions.
This is why Ask Me Anything (AMA) podcasts and Facebook Live events almost always draw a big crowd.
What is different now is that they ask "the cloud" instead of asking family and friends.
And so sites like Quora exist to fill the need.
The good news is that anyone (that means you too) can answer questions on sites like Quora.
The key is this - find ONE area where you can answer questions and become known as an expert.
Once you do that, you can easily convince people who read your answers to follow you on social, visit your blog, join your mailing list and buy the products you recommend.
Remember that process because it's important ...

Follow ... Visit ... Join ... Buy

Another benefit - you build trust with an audience that Quora pays to gather for you. They do the work of getting the traffic and you harvest the crop with your hard work.

Other sites like Reddit provide similar opportunities.


METHOD 3 - COMMENT ON BLOGS

Commenting on blogs in your niche is perhaps the easiest and fastest way to get links from high traffic sites. And it works!

The key here is a to make a comment that shows you have read the article and one that extends the conversation. That's the key - extending the conversation. 

While it's fine to say "I love this post", short comments like that (even if they are affirming) are often seen as spam and are deleted.

So make your comment a bit longer, and feel free to ask a question too.
Much like social media, commenting on blogs is all about the conversation.

One major mistake is trying to "automate" the process.

Don’t use software that sends out 9,000 comments to different blogs. You never read the posts. You’re just commenting on them. Those things don’t work.

Finding blogs in your niche is easy. In fact, even Google has a blog search feature.

METHOD 4 - SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE

While answering questions and making comments is good, sharing from your knowledge and experience is even better.

The good news is that you can start on a free platform like Medium if money is tight.

Medium is an incredible site that allows you to post your content free. They then show, and even promote, that content to their massive audience.

And massive it is. According to Alexa it is one of the top 250 sites in the WORLD!
This is very good news for you!

It means you have a chance to find an audience of your own, in almost any niche you can imagine, and develop a relationship with them without spending a dime!

Once you have been posting a while, and after you have a blog or sales funnel of your own, you can invite them to visit!

METHOD 5 - ESTABLISH A BLOG

Why is having your own blog important?
  1. It gives you a "home base", somewhere to send all visitors so they can learn more. Having one site to which you send people matters, especially if you are an affiliate marketer who might promote a variety of products over time. Sending all traffic to your blog makes your advertising and promotion evergreen.
  2. It empowers you to build a list of your own. Using tools like Aweber's list building widget or a pop up from PopUp Domination you can build a list from your blog visitors quickly.
  3. Blogs create high-quality free traffic from the search engines. Search engines exist to do one thing - provide people who search for relevant content. When your articles are relevant to what people are searching for search engines will send you traffic-free.
Here is why this method works so well...
  • It’s useful and they appreciate it. 
  • They want to reciprocate.
  • It’s incomplete and they want to learn more. 
  • Now they’re clicking your link.
