A Free Way to Get More Website Traffic
One of my favorite methods to get more website traffic for free is with my own email signature. On average, I send about 200 to 300 emails per day. Over the course of a typical month, I send about 6,000 to 9,000 emails.
Each email has my email signature attached to it. Even if just 10 percent of my readers click on the link, that is 600 to 900 extra visitors to my website each month, all on complete auto-pilot.
If you aren't using your own email signature, you should. Here are two example email signatures.

Tips for SuccessMy best tips are to stay generic and have a powerful marketing message. If possible, send people to a capture page first, so you can collect their name and email. This will help you build up your email list. You can then send regular messages driving people to your website.
On the other hand, if you don't have a capture page, you could just send people directly to your website.
I also suggest you use a tracking link with your email signature. If you don't know how to do this, just add a code like this to the end of your url (?emailsignature). That way you can see how many clicks you get each month from it.
Final Thoughts
There you have it folks. Email signatures are a powerful way to get FREE website traffic. Just keep your message interesting and try to put it in your P.S. line.

200 to 300 per day..wow..is that through an autoresponder? If not how in the world do u find the time ☺
Like the simplicity if ur landing page also does simple like that convert well for you?
I ask because i have not had much success with landing pages in the past so not currdntly using one
I own two very popular websites, plus four other email accounts. 200 to 300 per day is nothing. That's not counting the tens of thousands of autoresponder emails of mine that go out every day. Those ones are automated, but the 200 to 300 are manually done.
Awesome..yes i knew u had a few great sites..i am always reading your awesome tips...
I just joined the autoresponder club last night. ..kinda makes me feel like an actual marketer even if my list is tiny so far LOL LOL
I do say so far as my aim is to start increasing it this month☺
Thank you so much for replying and your tips are gold nuggets so much appreciated..keep em coming and i will keep reading and implementing
As you build your list, email them MINIMUM three times per week. Provide valuable content, and link to at least one affiliate product in every email, ideally in your P.S. line.
Great research and tips for collecting Email signatures, I really love your posts, they're so informative and helpful.

It is a one page website designed to collect someone's email. Here is an example.
