- You know I get a ton of traffic,
but do you know how much I get?
So much so that the traffic I'm getting
is worth over $500,000 per month.
Don't believe me?
Go to semrush.com and put in neilpatel.com.
You'll see right then and there
that I'm getting over $500,000 worth of traffic
each and every single month for free.
Hi Everyone.
I'm Neil Patel and today, I'm gonna share with you
how to get over $500,000 worth of traffic
to your website each and every single month for free.
(bright music)
- [Neil Patel] This first thing you need to know
is that it's a process.
You're not gonna get this traffic from one channel.
That's why I do email marketing, SEO,
content marketing, social media marketing.
It's a combination of all the channels out there.
If you're not leveraging all the channels out there,
then you're not gonna get a lot of traffic consistently.
See, you're gonna have days
where Linkedin sends you a lot of traffic and
you're gonna have days where you're doing
really well on Google,
but everything goes up and down.
When you do a combination of everything,
you'll find that there's much more stability
and you'll continually get more and more traffic
on a consistent basis.
So, the first thing, as I mentioned,
is leverage all of the main channels out there.
- [Neil Patel] The second thing you need to know is
you want to produce amazing content.
Yeah, you may have your own ideas of what's amazing
and other people have their ideas.
Who's right and who's wrong?
Well, I hate to say it;
it doesn't really matter what you think is amazing.
All that matters is what do your visitors think is amazing.
So, you go to Buzzsumo.
You put in competitor URLs and you see
what's driving traffic and what isn't.
Do more of the stuff that is
driving traffic for them, right?
Because, if something's working for your competitors,
chances are it'll work for you, too.
Why recreate the wheel when you can just
take what's working in your space and redo it?
So, if your competitors wrote an article
on 10 ways to get more traffic through SEO,
write an article on 101 ways
to get more traffic through SEO.
I'm not saying copy them.
I'm saying one-upping them.
Do something way better.
So much so that they're like, wow,
if they wrote 15 ways get more traffic,
we could write 20,
but, you know what?
They're gonna be like, well,
we wrote 10 ways to get more traffic.
Neil wrote 101 ways.
Nah.
I don't wanna create 200 ways.
That's just too much work.
By being super thorough and
going above and beyond,
no one's gonna copy you and
you'll do well.
- [Neil Patel] The next step I have for you is
go check out your Google analytics.
Your Google analytics shows you your
most popular pages.
Go create more of the pages
that are already popular on your site.
So, if you notice that all of you articles
on SEO are popular,
go write more SEO articles.
If you notice all the pages on social media
marketing are popular,
then go do that.
That's how you create more traffic.
It's you're doing the stuff that's working.
- [Neil Patel] The next step is create a community.
From your Facebook page to your email list, be there.
When your community members need help,
you better be helping them out.
When they don't need help,
of course, you still should be there,
communicating with them and
still trying to give them help.
By creating that community,
continually emailing them,
helping them, nurturing your email list,
you're gonna build a thriving community
that's gonna always be there promoting your content.
- [Neil Patel] And last, but not least,
get engaged in the social web.
I'm not talking about just being on Facebook
and being on Twitter.
You already know that.
But, you know what?
I bet you it's not working well for you.
If it was, you would already be getting a ton of traffic.
But, you're not participating.
When someone leaves a comment on you Facebook page,
why aren't you responding?
If you don't respond,
no one's gonna care for you.
They have no reason to keep coming back.
But, if you show that you care
and you're willing to help people out,
then they'll come back and they'll
put in the time and effort to read your stuff,
to gain knowledge from you, to tell others
on how you're amazing.
But, if you're not helping them out,
they have no reason to stick around.
So, go out there on your social profiles.
Participate.
Just don't talk about your business.
Talk about other stuff that engages them,
that's helps them out.
It's all about building a community.
Do all of those things and
you'll generate over
a half a million dollars
worth of free traffic
each and every single month, like me.
