2.0 OBJECTIVES
– to discuss free ways to drive traffic to your website.
– to discuss why a beginner with a starting budget should start their business with free traffic.
– introduce more online resources that will help the beginner to use free traffic correctly to get the expected results.
3.0 MAIN CONTENT
I have already pointed out in previous chapters the importance of traffic for your online business. And that there are two types of traffic you can bring to your websites to keep your business thriving and profitable.
They are: free traffic and paid traffic.
Both types are necessary for your business to survive in the short and long term.
3.1 Why free traffic?
But in the short term, you should go for free traffic, especially if your business is on a startup budget or you’re just experimenting to see if and how things will work before investing massively in your vision. Free traffic is actually the short cut to success in all startup online businesses and you should never ignore this.
In this chapter I am going to examine the various types of free traffic options that are open to you as a beginner. But let me add here without overlooking that even the best seasoned internet marketers sometimes resort to these free methods to increase their win rate, so don’t take these methods for granted, they are very powerful.
As an Internet entrepreneur, it won’t be long before you realize that every seller, online and offline, sings a song and a chorus: my product: buy, buy, buy.
There seems to be a consensus among internet marketers: look down on free online tools, which are actually plentiful when it comes to this business. But you are a man and not a boy, so you should know better.
So, if you suspect them of their snobbish attitude towards these free online tools, are you entitled to your own opinion, true or false?
That being said, the truth that bears repeating here, if only once, is that free online tools are everywhere, they are there for the little one like you who is struggling to get your new business up and running. vision. As you master the art, you can choose which of the tools to upgrade or downgrade.
3.2 The correct ways to use it
Shsssssssh… don’t tell anyone that I reveal this highly kept secret of the GURUS to you: some of them are still using these free tools and methods in their own businesses until tomorrow, because it’s highly efficient just like the paid ones. – only if you know the correct ways to use them.
Now show me a man with the usual gray matter who will be given free tools and shown how to use them properly to make a profit in his business, but discards them for the paid ones.
None.
Period.
3.3 Free traffic methods
Now let’s move on to explore the free sources of traffic that you can cleverly use to make profit on your business right from the start of your business.
There are actually countless free resources you can use to easily attract countless eyes to see your product on your site, but I’ll only examine the common ones here. You may already know some of them, but I’ll just add the profit angle to the social angle you know them from.
Is it so:
I know that most of the people reading this now have a Facebook account. If not, go there now and sign up. Just grab your email and password – then start posting, then make friends. BUT DO NOT SPAM.
Just aim to increase their social interactions and then skillfully get them to see your product or service. When they are familiar with you, business comes quite easily.
- Youtube
This is the second most popular search engine after Facebook, so any serious online businessman should now be using it to promote their business. Open a channel and post short 2-5 minute videos that have a link to your product, affiliate products, or your website.
At the end of your video, make sure you have a strong call to action, add a free giveaway to encourage them to go, and sign up to receive your giveaway. Your video topic should include a well-researched keyword.
- article directories
Type in your browser: article directories, it will return several directories for you to choose from. The most popular among them are EzineArticles, GoArticles, among others. Simply sign up and post your articles with your links (only 2) and your resource box and traffic will visit your sites and offers in droves.
Marketing on Twitter can be very rewarding. Your account like other social networks is free, you only need your email that you already have and a password. Then make friends, create a group and become an authority in a certain marketing niche. Share a few selected links and content that are relevant, newsworthy and common in your area of authority. Join the discussions and send hash tags of influencers (popular people) to your friends and soon you will get a sale. But make sure you don’t send SPAM.
This is a photo/video focused social network and learning how to use it can take your business to the next level. Many business people are willing to implement this powerful business tool and this fact alone can be a game changer for their business in an environment that has more than 400 million users.

- Snapchat
This works like your normal email. You start by building your audience, friends, and then use Snapchat to engage with them and do marketing as you go. Also Google for Snapchat for Entrepreneurs.
Although it is a social network, it allows you to promote your business freely. The secret to success is to optimize your page and link to your blog if you have one. Post regularly and also follow other popular and influential bloggers.
Use hootsuite to link your blog to LinkedIn so your blog posts get published automatically. Only a few people who use LinkedIn know how to make it work with their business promotions, since it was initially used to find new jobs. This means that if you know how to use the site to cleverly promote your business, you will have more visits and sales than using Facebook and YouTube.
- Guest Blogging and Vice Versa
Another free traffic secret is to be a search blogger on someone else’s blog while allowing other experts to be your guest bloggers.
But keep in mind that for this strategy to be successful in driving traffic to your website, you need to blog on sites that are relevant to your niche.

- Go Mobile
Strive to optimize your website for mobile phones, as roughly a quarter of mobile phones are smartphones at the time I’m writing this chapter, and it will be more by the time you’re reading it.
If the web page where you store your product is mobile friendly, you will enjoy high traffic from mobile phone users. The experts can help you do this for pennies on Fiverr.
- look at your competition
Do not be afraid or forget about your competition. In online business, competition can be a very useful means of finding out where the money is. See what they do, go where they go, and come back with the wisdom to run your business profitably.
This piece of software, buzzsumo, can help you do it accurately.

Just pick one after another and get a video on how to set up and sell on those sites and it won’t be long before you realize how powerful a business tool each of them is.
3.4 Break time…
my undergraduate project
In fact, that is why I postulated in my graduation project that no member of the 21st century Homo sapiens sapiens species should have anything to do with unemployment and poverty.
Why?
Because everyone is surrounded by assorted and extremely wonderful personal computers never before seen in all of human history, from high-end phones, iPhones, and iPads to iOffices to iCars, iTrains, iPrivate Jets, and back to iHomes.
Can you beat that?
They just need to figure out how to creatively use these giant personal computers that have thankfully become their lot, in a business sense and not just for liability-prone socializations laden (as defined by Rich Dad Poor Dad and not the Accounting or Economic sense ) .
You can now go ahead and use them to eradicate your unemployment, underemployment and poverty now.
You can even become unemployed if you wish!
Break time is over.
