Let’s move on to discuss the free web traffic sources you can invest in.

1. Reddit

Reddit is a platform that features news aggregation and discussion. If you surf the internet well, then you must have come across Reddit.

Reddit is divided into subreddits, which are communities that differ. This allows users to easily subscribe to specific groups and forums on the platform.

Reddit is an awesome way to get free traffic because your target audience is already grouped in a place. Now, if you can provide useful content to the readers in the Subreddit, you will start to push in massive website traffic.

Running paid adverts on Reddit isn’t a quick thing to do, so we’re going to stick to free traffic. Here are some vital things you need to know before getting a free traffic source on Reddit.

  • Read subreddit rules: Not all communities allow you to share your link or promotions. Make sure you read Subreddit rules to find out what they don’t like
  • Use Reddit: Subreddits request that you have certain amounts of Karmas for you to post. You can only gain Karmas by being active on Reddit
  • Find weekly self-promotion threads: A lot of Subreddits contain weekly self-promotion threads that allow you to just plug your content. Look for these threads that refer to your niche, and note down the days they appeared.

2. Quora

One thing to know about Quora is that it doesn’t show the view counts of threads. But it’s good to answer questions where there is a lot of followership. This is better than answering questions that nobody is interested in.

Quora allows advertisers to target particular questions, and it provides a weekly report that gives advertisers an idea of the user size. This is a good place to get a free traffic source; you can just fill in your question relating to your niche, create a list of top visible questions, and then answer them. This allows you to strategically link them back to your source.

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!
