Whether you run a popular blog or have a big store, driving traffic is the most important thing to consider if you want to make money with them.

Running profitable ads on Google and Facebook is a good practice. With these paid advertisements, you can reach your target audience faster and make your decisions a lot quicker since you already have the data you need.

Unfortunately, not every business can afford paid ads, but there are a lot of free traffic sources where you can get high-quality leads and customers with high a level of buying intent.

What is Traffic Source?

People who are new to digital marketing might not know what a traffic source means. The definition even depends on who you ask, or the industry you work with.

A traffic source is a group of customers that come to you through a source on the web. Traffic sources can be general or granular depending on what you want.

Hello Israel

Thank you for the great post (As usual), especially to answer the question of HOW much free traffic we can get from SM and that nobody can know every platform to the fullest.

I think you are correct in thinking of picking a platform that will work with your niche and learn that one before moving on to another; otherwise, a lot of this can overwhelm the individual and create a lot of "Paralysis of Analysis."

Since you mentioned email marketing and a plug in, what do you think of Icegrams Email Subscribers Plugin?

Thanks for your comment, jghwebbrand! Icegrams is a good email marketing tool for bloggers and webmasters, but I'd suggest you go for Aweber. Thanks for stopping by!
