Hi Friend
What are some
good Facebook
alternatives for
getting traffic?
Well first of all,
let’s be clear on
one important thing.
You have to decide
if you’re looking
for free traffic or
paid traffic.
I won’t get into
the pros and
cons of those
2 approaches
today.
They are both
good for different
reasons, though,
so know what
you’re after.
If you want pay-per-click
traffic, then there
probably is no
better place than
Facebook.
But you should also
consider Solo Ads.
For just a few dollars
you can build a list
of followers.
Then you can promote
your blog posts directly
to them via email.
Solo Ads allow you
to get very targeted
traffic, and you can
easily control and
budget your ad expense.
Now on the free
end, you can get traffic
from any social media
site or forum.
The key, here, is to
see where your
target crowd hangs
out most.
If you have a fashion
blog, for instance…
you’ll probably find
that visual sites like
Pinterest and Instagram
are especially good.
Why?
Because fashion is
visible and those
2 platforms are
great places to share
fashion photos and
images.
If your blog is more
business or professional
oriented, then LinkedIn
is a great place to start
your search.
People on LinkedIn
tend to be more serious
and business minded.
They are not there
so much to “socialize”
as they are to trade
ideas and promote
each other.
So, you get the idea.
Don’t go somewhere
that people won’t
be interested in your
niche, or in your
content.
Go where it will be
well received.
It’s always best to
create a list of groups
or niche communities
It can be FB groups,
LinkedIn groups,
subReddits (those are
what they call groups
in Reddit)… etc.
On Twitter, the closest
you can come to groups
is #hashtag communities.
So these are the best
places to start looking
for traffic sources.
Happy hunting.
I’ve had a lot of feedback
from people over the
last week or so while
I’ve been talking about
traffic.
I’ve also been very
involved in privately
coaching a small group
of traffic-seekers.
So, I’ve seen what you
are struggling with on
an individual basis.
Just understand that
“getting traffic” is not
really as hard as people
make it.
There are so many
people on the internet,
in every niche imaginable…
The traffic is there.
You won’t attract it,
though, unless you
have a very clear message
for people…
meaning…
a reason WHY they
should follow you,
visit your blog etc.
If you’re struggling
to get traffic, I’ve
written an article …
- inspired by the traffic
struggles I’ve been seeing
from my own clients and students,
just since the New Year started -
that digs into this matter
deeper…

let me know what
you’re doing right now
to get more traffic to
your site or landing pages.
Talk Soon,
