– to discuss free ways to drive traffic to your website.
– to discuss why a beginner with a startup 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 has 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 shortcut to success in every startup online business and you should never ignore this.
In this chapter I’m going to examine the various types of free traffic options that are open to you as a beginner. But let me add here without going overboard that even the best seasoned internet marketers sometimes turn to these free methods to increase their profit 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 all marketers, online and offline, sing one song and one chorus: My Product – Buy Buy Buy.
There seems to be a consensus among internet marketers: despise free online tools, which are actually plentiful when it comes to this business. But you’re a man and not a boy, so you should know better.
So, if you suspect them for 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 guy like you who is struggling to get your new business and 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 guarded secret of GURUS to you: some of them are still using these free tools and methods in their own business until tomorrow, because it is 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 is given free tools and shown how to use them correctly to make a profit in his business, but throws them away for pay.
None.
Period.
3.3 Free traffic methods
Now let’s move on to explore the free sources of traffic that you can skillfully use to earn profit in your business right from the start of your business.
There are actually countless free resources you can use to easily attract countless eyeballs to view your product on your site, but I’ll just go through 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 for.
They are:
I know most of the people reading this now have a Facebook account. If not, go there now and sign up. Just take your email and password: then start posting and then make friends. BUT DON’T SPAM.
Just aim to increase your social interactions and then cleverly get them to check out your product or service. When they are familiar with you, business deals come quite easily.
- Youtube
This is the second most popular search engine after Facebook, so any serious online businessman should now use it to promote their business. Open a channel and post short 2-5 minute videos that 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 for 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. Just sign up and post your articles with your links (just 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 some relevant, newsworthy, and regular curated links and content in your area of authority. Join the discussions and send hash tags of influencers (popular people) to your friends and you will soon get a sale. But make sure you don’t spam.
This is a photo/video centric 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 your business in an environment that has more than 400 million users.

- Snapchat
This works just like your normal email. You start by building your audience, friends, and then you 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 of success is to optimize your page and link it to your blog if you have it. He posts regularly and also follows other popular and influential bloggers.
Use hootsuite to link your blog to LinkedIn so that your blog posts are automatically published. 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 skillfully promote your business, you will have more views 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.

Strive to optimize your website for mobile phones, as about a quarter of mobile phones are smartphones at the time I’m writing this chapter, and it will be higher by the time you’re reading it.

- look at your competition
Don’t be afraid or forget about your competition. In online business, competition can be a very useful means of figuring out where the money is. See what they do, go where they go, and come back with the wisdom to run your business profitably.

my undergraduate project
In fact, that is why I posited in my graduate project that no 21st century member of the species Homo sapiens sapiens should have anything to do with unemployment and poverty.
Because?
Because everyone is surrounded by varied and extremely wonderful personal computers never seen before in all of human history, from high-end phones, iPhones and iPads to iOffices in iCars, iTrains, iPrivate Jets and back to iHomes.
