5 Effective Way to Get Traffic on Your Blog

Free traffic is really awesome. The main goal with them, other than to create profits, is to actually generate an 'advertising war chest' to use on paid advertising, which will scale your business even further.

So if you are not getting enough traffic, how do you use free marketing strategies to create a traffic flood? I'm going to show you 5 time-tested marketing strategies that don't cost a nickel:

Marketing Strategy You Should Apply

•  Forum Traffic

This is what I do on daily basis to get easy, instant traffic: I make a list of 5 high-trafficked forums that are relevant to my niche then I just create an attractive signature promoting my website and post new content to it regularly. I either start interesting new threads to get opens and traffic or post informative replies to existing threads that are receiving a lot of attention.

• Video Marketing

Submit high-quality tutorial videos to YouTube to get super targeted traffic to your website. A video can easily get 10-20 times more traffic than article, so this is a strategy you will definitely want to use.

• Article Submissions

Articles - an 'old' but ultra effective method of promoting your website and branding yourself as an expert. Submit 2 articles a day and after just a few months, you will be experiencing an avalanche of traffic.

•  Press Release

Although paid press releases are the ideal option as they get you more exposure, submitting free PR is also a real way of getting traffic. Simply search for 'free press releases' on Google to find places to submit your PR for free.

• Blogging

Creating a free blog and using it to attain high search engine placings is also a great way to funnel traffic back to your website. Your blog can be the 'tunnel' to your sales page or opt-in page where you direct prospects to.
