Everybody hates TRAFFIC GENERATION, right?

The advantage to the use of these types of platforms to include Facebook Marketplace and Instagram Marketplace is the Traffic is baked in... already there. And One could argue of the 7 options these would be the only ones that are "Build It and they will come" type traffic sources.

Can be very effective if you do the work... they are called Social Media for a reason... being social is key

Probably the hardest overall of the 7 listed - at least the SEO part. Using the other 6 options on this list to point to a center cog that is your website makes this effort easier

yes, yes and yes... and focus a good bit on "Shorts"

Half the story... belong to a bunch of same in context groups as well.

Right in there as one of the hardest...might actually be a toss up between getting affiliates and getting traffic to a website. Getting affiliates, and having them make sales... a lot of working parts and for sure not a beginner path to take

A community favorite, "Money is in the list" I think this before the website is where burnout might first appear... email lists ( for me ) can be grueling


Great post... Awesome topic!

forget FaceBook page?

I feel group depend how you moderate , as spammer will spam around.

Ebay, Amazon, and Etsy are great - granted you have the right products, and don't mind the inventory and trip to the post office often. I think blogging and SEO can work if you're willing to wait for the results. Most beginners don't see results after a few months (admittedly after hard work) and then quit. But you gotta be in it for the long haul.

Be versatile and creative to get leads yes .The dynamics of marketing have changed which means we have to adjust and market accordingly .

FACEBOOK and tiktok is most benificial platforms for getting traffic.

With sites such as Ebay customers have confidence for at least 2 reasons:


1:They can get a refund if not happy quite easily


2:Brand recognition - they trust Ebay as a site they can purchase from safely


3: They can look at the vendor's sales record, comments and star rating.


I think it is easy to sell from and build up good customer relationships.


I have often thought about selling an ebook very cheaply to build up a list.
I know that Ebay has a lot of rules! trying do disuade people from doing this as it always wants to make commissions from any sale, but I am sure there must be a way of doing this without breaking their many rules!

Gotta figure natchrl desirability feachahs also.

Best algorithms gotta kiss on *that* sweet spot -- or the frick they dowin', zackly?

You look at the Max Sweat Least Boobies Out offahs FLAGGED in Johnny12345's 1-7 thurre, an' you gotta wondah how gowin' through no kinda intermediary means you ain't no prostitoot.


(... uhm, if'n you 'spectin' this headline & tag be gowin' noplace, prolly you ovahinvested in what Covid B. Snowsgivey said awhile back 'bout 80%a yr dollah bein' in the headline, which is why you gotta wondah now why you evah SHACKLED YUSSELF DEEP IN schmall printo Blestreweah PARENTHESES from which you now gotta (technically) extricate yusself beforeya can move on -- at which point, I will provide a synopsis, even for the desprit.)


We were talkin' sweet spots, natchrl desirability feachahs, an' immediate spank point/slash/zones.

Ta-Dahhh!

Bcs, gotta tellya, I escaped from Cap'n Dangler's Brute Truth Dungeon mrackyooseley with muh tinglydanglies intact.

Troo story.

Here's how zuttwhahz ...


Hey, so I could pull anythin' off, right?

Like we are free to swanky out?

Gotta wondah which headlines algorithmnin' out rn?

We talked sweet spots, brute truth, natchrl desirability, jus' bcs.


What we stickin' in the holes now?

What apertures of possibility may we mustah?



Yeah, but nachrl desirability an' limited co-existence go togethah like best shaht we gaht, evah, right?

Time for Smoochie, or Time for Oblivion -- an' you gotta figure it may naht be yr choice.

Like Benedict Cumberbatch once said ...

"If you have an over-preoccupation with deception and trying to please peoples' expectations then you can go MAP."


So heys, anyways, what might nachrl desirability look an' feel an' work like, yanno?

You would wish for evrywan snortin' up from beyond the ethah of evry ad -- or why waste time on the fkr?

Evident & available horizons! Dispensed as evry eye opens wide!

Or you would anatomise evry deep & dirty cunnyhole, scalpel by scalpel, till'n only eternal darkness prevails.


You jus' gottah tip evrywan offa sweetah steps into the fyootyore, yanno.

You decide!

We nevah gonna bomb

Great article, great list.
Personally I use organic SEO plus free content on different platforms. Another thing free subdomains are always cool to get free massive traffic

Hi John! Are you talking traffic generation for a product you own yourself, or for a product or products you're an affiliate of?

No idea who you are responding to...not your fault, it's the 'modern view' that is a default here.



PLEASE - put cursor over your forum name in the black toolbar above - click on "view classic" so you can use quotes and people know who you are talking to.



Also - paragraphs make posts much easier to read.

How have you generated traffic from them? I had virtually no luck with FAcebook. Only people I knew personally or were already friends actually liked my Facebook business page.

Are you talking about for a product or products you created yourself (or purchased wholesale)?

I knew as a beginner that I didn't want to make a product myself or buy products wholesale and resell.

My first time into online business was: I actually hired a producer of digital courses, with filming stages, producers, etc. to help me develop my first digital health course based on my own personal experience, and I got bored with the material. Too bad because I'd invested a lot of money in the production company, a really good one, so I just stopped that project completely out of boredom.

So one tip I have for beginners is to love or like or be interested in what you're doing or the product(s).

That's when I found affiliate marketing, with OTHER people/companies' products that I like. As a beginner over the past 3 years, that's helped me a lot not to have to deal with actual physical products.

Getting traffic from social media platforms is overrated to me. These networks keep changing their rules frequently and it is hard to keep up with everything. I have many stories to tell, trust me.

When it comes to getting traffic, the best solution for me, in the past, in the present and in the long term are ad networks. Once you get the gist of it, you won`t turn away. It`s time-saving, efficient work.
