Your best free traffic sources? (I share mine)

This is good inspiration. I've just begun doing this, i.e. conversing with related people in groups and see if they wish to connect. Just making sure that I don't look like a spam. Thanks!

This is a great way to get traffic. It's also worth paying attention to instagram. If you make a thematic profile and develop it, you will get another source of traffic where you already have experience, as is the case with Facebook.

In general, I think that it is worth focusing your skills exactly where it turns out, in this case on social networks.

since I have my own traffic source I dont use others, but I used facebook and never got a single sale...
Maybe I did something wrong who knows, it was like 6 yrs ago

This is an inspiring story. I dont like facebook groups. Buy I work on long term strategy like guest posting. This simple traffic strategy brings you organic traffic over and over. Why I hate facebook groups, you send your stuff and it's gone in 5 minutes. Find a long term traffic strategy

OP, unless your rotating through several accounts, blasting FB groups (even if niche-filtered and niche-targeted) is a sure way to get banned or worse, getting your URLs flagged.

There's a workaround that reduces blocking by over 50% or more: use ACTIONABLE images

Free FB traffic rarely converts, at least I haven't seen in a while.

While I agree that this approach can work--I have used it and have gotten some good results with it.


I also must say that FB banned my account for no reason--so I would suggest branching out into some other ways of getting traffic.


As far as the comment about SEO--personally I do not like this for the simple reason--if your ranking goes--so goes your income.


However, this is just me.


Hope this Helps!

My best free traffic so far is Facebook. I have a page with more than 300k followers and each time I create a new post, traffic to my site always at the highest. Although it is not consistent, it's worth the effort.

We run quite a successful language business using traffic solely from Facebook groups. Works like a charm.

Yes, Social media is helping in getting traffic. Publish the best quality content you can. It is helpful.

My best free traffic is the traffic come from my affiliates

they do the work, i getting paid.

Of course they getting paid too

Awesome win win win deal

My best free traffic source is Pinterest.


I have had free traffic every day for over 6 months from one pin.


I have about 20 pins altogether and get some traffic from about 4, but most of it comes from one pin.


The next best source is Google.


Hope this helps.

For me it works youtube as a free traffic source but your method its very inspiring as you convince people and they trust you .I remember doing this in the past with warriorplus offers it majority of my sales come from this method

I am in a fairly new Face Book Group and they are mostly asking the same questions in between success stories from other members from face book strategy so my eyes are seeing opportunity. To help of course.

Use twitter with keyword hashtags. You don't need to have a bunch of followers on twitter, tweets are meant for everyone on twitter, not just your followers. Just make sure you use popular niche hashtags in your tweets.

I think social media can be your best traffic source. You can use Pinterest, facebook, Twitter and Linkedin for best free method.

Hard to convert sales on Facebook but it is a good way to branding.

My main source is still seo although I am testing out ppc and most interested in ppc right now due to control I have over it, after that I will move on to facebook as many people have amazing results with it but I do understand the niches which work with it are very different.

Over 80% of my traffic comes from offline sources, such as article syndication in free niche-specific publications, tradeshows, seminars, etc. But having a strong online presence including websites, funnel system, and social media does a have powerful effect for conversion rates.

In my case, a good campaign on Facebook allows me to increase traffic to my website.

In my opinion Social Media is the best choice for your traffic source. You can use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram.

Reddit is great if you're smart about it.

In my neck of the woods it depends on what your selling and your target market. Example: Honky Tonks place a cutie or two outside and the traffic never stops.

I agree with Jeffery that it "depends on what your selling and your target market." Some marketing avenues work better for different things.

For me it is SEO all the way! Targeted traffic! It is not "free" but neither are any of the other methods mentioned in this thread. Your time is not free. SEO takes some brain power and time to keep up with the changes and to implement it. That is an expense - but it has always been worth it for me.

You can often implement a number of different traffic getting schemes at the same time but it is difficult to be effective that way if you are not outsourcing. Spread yourself too thin and you are usually not capitalizing on the method that brings the best results.

Thanks OP for opening a thread where members share their best traffic and strategy.
And members often share some precious insights about it.
We find there are various ways and what works for whom depends (as Jeffery pointed out above).
It's heartening to note that even seo works for some. I'd very much like to go that route.

Wow, you've leveraged Facebook the right way by building interactive bonds with other users from all works of life. Building relationship with others is one of the most prominent ways to drive people's attention to whatever you have to offer. People won't see you as someone trying to spam the community, but as someone trying to help. So, it's true you can build Facebook traffic even without using paid ads.

Some nice tips here, thanks

I will have to explore Reddit. I don't even have an account there, but do browse from time to time. If you wish to share more info I would appreciate it. Thanks

Thanks for all suggestions.
So far I have tried Push Notifications to niche subscribers. I get about 1,000 for about $5-7 USD.
Also, Reddit is cool, but you need to do some giveaways to call attention.

Yes, Facebook is a good source of traffic, but if it is used in a right way! Other sources are reddit, pinterest, twitter, instagram, etc.

I started Internet Marketing with only free traffic continue to use it paired along with paid traffic. The best free traffic sources are Craigslist, Instagram, YouTube, Quora, Yahoo Answers, Forums, Reddit, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Offerup, Letgo.

That's a great choice to tap into. But the problem is that there are many spammers there trying to pitch very low quality offers and you will just waste your time and money.
I believe it's not really really worth it doing it, but it's also not impossible to make sales

My best free traffic source is Pinterest. I am focusing on ladies shapewear, Pinterest has the largest women fan base. Most of these ladies are looking to reduce weight in short cut methods. if you are targeting on females, this is a good opportunity, You need to create as much as new pins (the posts) on the interest that are linking to your website.

I use facebook too.... I love it!

For me, Google organic traffic is better than Facebook. I do SEO and do provide value to my audience and that convert sell.

Good Job. This is my beginning to explore my product. But I still don't like spam. And I also avoid using spam in my work. Thanks

Facebook groups are still a great source of traffic, but the mistake most people make is to spam them with there offers. You need to add value, share your free ebook or blog content now and then and collect there emails to build an email list. Sometimes there are persons asking for help in these group and you can build a relationship with then and get them to buy your product. Most of all act or be like you are an authority in your niche and people will follow you.

Anything could sell on Facebook . If you can join the right group and take your time to explain what you do. You will not miss one or two leads that you can convert.

It might be working if you have a large audience at Facebook, you may join Groups that have similar niche to your business, post your services there and share it to your followers.

Never been a fan of Facebook because of SuckerBurg.

He has NASA level restrictions and analysis on his members but yet he does shady things all the time and admits it. Manipulation experiments for example. Search it.

But anyway recently I joined a group. Watched a Newbie announce commissions.

Watched her help people.

Watched her start her own group.

Watched her give a webinar training sponsored by the original group with thousands of members.

She made a self liquidating offer meaning she gets paid now before its created.

She had checkout cart problems at end of webinar for her future offer..but netted 100+ people for $100,000.

Next day after the news hit to the rest of the group she got another 300 signups at $997 each.

Still going so by tomorrow she will have HALF A MILLION DOLLARS for a product not created yet because she became A TRUSTED big hit in a Face Book Group.


I watched it from the very first post and still starring in space jaw dropped hahaha.


*Side note...the free webinar she gave was truly kickass helpful. She deserved her rewards.

Reddit and quora, but for sustained traffic just rely on SEO.

I use Facebook and Instagram.

IG has a bit more engagement than other social sites I've tried.

Facebook group doesn't work for me. I used ecommerce shop, sell a basic digital product in very small price <$1 then follow up my buyer for upsell

Best free traffic source is without a doubt Linkedin. The members there are engaged and actually read articles that get shared. Sharing in Linkedin groups bring a lot of qualified traffic to your site too.

Hi.
i'm using a mainly an organic traffic free and paid both..And i also use a social account to get gain a more and more traffic sources for my domain.
