How to drive traffic without any investments?

17 replies
I am new on this forum, I am just starting with email marketing and need some advice.
Can someone tell me what is the best way to drive free traffic to your website?

I literally don't have a penny to invest. I am starting in skin care and health niche and building a list now seems to be impossible.
Everyone is talking about forum marketing and how successful it is but it seems that all forums on this topic hate signatures with links to website.

Please give me an advice!
Many thanks.

    Blog on your own blog. Target some long tail keywords related to skin care and blog about them. Start a twitter and follow those in your niche. Introduce yourself. Retweet their blog posts and once in a while tweet one of your posts. Start a Tumblr too and follow those in your niche or who reblog about skin care.

    If you do forum marketing, leave really informative and helpful posts. That way people won't mind you linking to your website in the signature.

      I have a facebook page but it seems impossible to get visitors and likes. Most of facebook pages don't allow you to post on them talking about your page, and if you just post comments, no one clicks on your page.

      I think I will continue with forums. I know people who are doing amazing things using just forums. It is most likely that I am missing something..

    If you have a lot of time, forum and blog comments can drive traffic if you play your cards right.

    The key is to put high quality content on your sites and reference them only if it makes sense in the course of a conversation.

    Always stay on topic and focus on building credibility and authority.

    There are a ton a ways to automate your website traffic but most take some investment to keep it going and to ensure that it's targeted traffic. Buying hits for instance, just won't convert very well so you're throwing cash out the window, you definately need targeted traffic to ensure what ever effort or money you put in, makes you something back.
    Google Adwords can drive targeted traffic but you better have a serious bankroll to hone your skills with this.
    I hear you about not wanting to spend much time on driving website traffic,especially if you're not in it as a full time income.
    I used this when I started my list and it really works well, especially if you're giving away a free gift to grow your list, and it has categories so it works for any product, it's pretty cool. This is as close as it get to free targeted traffic that works while you play.

      Well, no money for traffic generation is actually not a hindrance to success. If you do not have the money then you need to work extra hard to get the snowball effect of traffic building.

      Since it looks like there is not so much benefits of using Forums in your niche then
      get on with blog commenting as writeaway already mentioned above.

      making videos on youtube about the topics in your niche is even more powerful than the forum commenting.

      You might also want to be active on twitter. build a good number of follower and post about your topics on your blog or website regularly. You will not believe how many people do click through in spite of how noisy the platform might seem.

      Google plus is also one that many seem to neglect. the advantage here is your google plus content easily gets ranked for some long tail phrases and that trickles in some traffic which with time will build the snowball effect.

      Blogging this is a big one and many here will confirm how powerful it is.

      There are many others but starting with these will not overwhelm you.And you will start seeing results almost immediately if you are consistent. Consistency is the key here, Just try it for a month or two. Hope that helps

    If you don't want to spend money for traffic, You best choice is to do manual seo, find and build links toward low volume keywords.

  • nobody hates signatures if you comment with valueable content. Just browse through your niche and leave solutions and answers, and try to connect on a more personal level. Be a giver not a pusher, and the traffic will come your way

    Hey Ivana,

    To drive traffic free of cost. You need to first setup your own blog and use article marketing on article sites.

    At the same time make full use of social bookmarking sites that have tremendous potential to drive you tons of traffic.

    You can also use slide-share. Make some interesting slides that can grab attention of people. If you could do that, you will see high number of views to your slides and eventually to your website.

    Moreover we must not forget the power of a Youtube. DO make use of that too

    You can look into free traffic technique such as article writing, video posting, blogging or forum marketing. These techniques can help provide a reasonable amount of traffic when actively done over a period of time.

    But remember that free traffic methods will not grant you immediate results so give it time to bear fruit.

    That's easy, where do women hang out online?

    If you're attractive my advice is target Youtube for selling skin care products because that would validate the product as far as buyers go. Hey, this person on Youtube is attractive, they might be doing something right. Might sound funny but a lot of people think that way, same goes for celebrity followers, mindless dolts but they all have credit cards.

      Very good advice from Yukon there.

      I know for a fact that many women, such as my wife and her sisters watch YouTube videos of other women giving make-up tips, hair care tips, skin care tips, etc.

      Mostly the women on those YT videos are attractive, but not always, and even the unattractive ones get thousands upon thousands of views.

    Many thanks for giving me advice! :-)
    Yesterday I attended a webinar about best traffic strategies. They mentioned a site for atricle writing called iwriter.com. Are some of you using it and what do you think, is it a good place to start with publishing articles?
    I heared about sites for publishing power point presentations to promote websites, what do you think about that?

    There's nothing like free traffic.

    What I have learnt in the quick start challenge to get free traffic get in to all social networks and never stop posting new stuff on it. I also have a blog site where I attend to write articles every week. A new article I would post it on my social media and it drives me free traffic.
