3. Medium Content Syndication

Syndicating your content on Medium is an inexpensive, quick, and good way to make money on Medium. It is simple to do, but your method might differ because of your business type.

Many bloggers just use the “import a story” feature to syndicate their content on Medium fast, enhance their reach, and link back to their blog.

If you have a popular publication or business that doesn’t count as a blog, you should develop your own Medium publication to attract experience to this traffic source.

4. YouTube

Starting a YouTube channel and using it to ease some of your workloads is good especially when you have the means to do so.

To be honest, video content is more engaging than any normal blog post. It’s very engaging when done right.

You can easily transform your how-to articles or listicles into videos; your blog post will serve as the script to use for the video.

Generating traffic through your YouTube video is a simple thing to do. You can use free traffic sources like Reddit and Quora to promote your recent video when they go live.

You can include your blog URL in the intro of your video and also put the link in the description box of the video. These are great ways to link your videos and your blog together.

5. Email Marketing

Properly managing your emails is a very important skill every webmaster should acquire. Whether you sell a service or you run a blog, an email list can help increase your traffic if you use it properly on social media.

If you want to grow your email list, you must have a plan first. Doing this will help you increase your traffic source.

You can use MailerLite or any other email marketing platform to blow up pop-up emails, and gather subscribers.

Using email lists is a good source of traffic, and you should invest in it by giving your readers valuable content that addresses their issues. Always remember to build your email list even if you don’t have a dip in traffic.

6. Guest Post, Podcasts, and Collaborations

Another great way you can get a free source of traffic is to publish guest posts on other websites, create a podcast, and start a YouTube channel. This is a complex source of the traffic to develop because you need to first get featured on a big publication or channel. If you don’t get featured, you won’t get much traffic.

For a new blogger, getting this free source will be a little tricky to do because outreach will not be simple. Only very few people will feature someone who is new to blogging.

It is advisable to really know the person you’re pitching your collaboration idea to; this will help you communicate with them better, and persuade them to feature you.
