Luke Daniel asked me a while ago how he can get more traffic. He tried some traffic methods but was frustrated with the low quality “one second engaging click farm visits” that he got as a result.
There are two ways to get traffic:
Number one, you pay for it with your money. You have sites like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest where you can advertise your website o product.
Number two, you pay for it with your time and effort.
There’s really no such thing as free traffic.
I would recommend doing both. I would use content marketing (time and effort) to provide a ton of value for the people coming to your website. Besides leveraging search engines and getting organic traffic, it’s the best way to make sure your paid traffic keeps coming to your website after they click your ad.
I would also play around with advertising methods (money) specially Facebook dark posts. Facebook is incredible when it comes to targeting options, you can even target your competitor’s page. Just make sure you know what you’re doing when it comes to online advertising. Don’t end up blowing up your money like most people.
But back to Facebook dark posts.
You want to create an ad on Facebook and boost a post, but it won’t be shown in your Facebook page, instead it will show up to the people you chosen on your targeting settings. That’s why is called Facebook dark post.
Obviously there’s a lot more strategies when it comes to traffic. You have Reddit, media buying, Amazon Kindle books, StumbleUpon, Twitter Ads, YouTube Ads, Retargeting, JV partners etc.
But if I had to select the top two methods, it would be these two.
