Top Marketing Techniques Free and Paid

Free and paid are both have their own benefits. Of course, the more money you spend the more traffic you're going to get. However, that isn't always the case when it comes to marketing. Here is a list of great traffic sources you can use for free along with paid. Don't forget quality and not quantity. So make unique accounts and reach out to users instead of just spamming links in hope to generate traffic.

Overall, free traffic can bring you amazing traffic especially if your site goes viral. I would however stay away from Facebook likes and strictly promote post engagements. Pinterest ads are amazing and have generated massive amount of traffic with a couple eye catchy pins. All the sites listed have been used from personal experience. If you have any questions about any of these sites or any suggestions leave a comment and ill reply to you in this thread.
