here is the first traffic method Quora.com. Quora is a goldmine for free
targeted traffic in any niche here is some proof that Quora traffic works for
everyone in a variety of different niches in a recent interview I did with
Shruti from indiangirling.com. She shared with me some of her traffic stats and
she showed me the breakdown of her social media traffic including Quora
Quora traffic as you can see performs the best it has the lowest bounce rate
as well as the highest amount of time spent on the page
this means that Quora traffic has got the potential to give you more sales and
more commissions from the same amount of traffic so what is Quora and how exactly
can you get traffic from it to your website or blog it's a community-based
question-and-answer platform where people can post questions about any
topic and others answer those questions Google then picks up those community
generated pages of questions and answers and includes them in their search
results Google loves Quora and here is exactly why according to ahrefs data
Quora is in the top seven hundred websites in the whole world and has huge
Authority and as you can see Quora ranks 476 million various keyword
phrases that's really good news because it means that you can
a slice of their traffic as well to do that you need to get your answer with a
link to your website or blog into one of those community generated
question-and-answer pages so here is a full step-by-step process for exactly
how you can get free traffic from Quora to your blogger website the first thing
that you'll need to do is head over to quora.com and register your account
after you register your account you should go into your profile and fill it
out the best way that you possibly can making sure to fill out every single
thing in your profile so you need to fill out your description you need to
also fill out your credentials and highlights this is very important to
make sure that your answers look credible and the other most important
thing that you need to fill out is knows about so you will see it somewhere here
in your right-hand sidebar and this will then determine what kind of topics will
pop up in your feed so that you can answer and get traffic to your website
as you can see here I've got a bunch of things that I've entered as the topics
that I personally know about I've entered topics such as search engine
optimization blogging YouTube SEO web marketing affiliate marketing for your
niche it could be different it could be for example weight loss weight training
as you start typing those things in you will see the suggested topics coming up
and you will only need to do really is just click this and you will follow that
topic okay I'm just going to delete it back now after you've entered all of the
topics I recommend having at least ten but enter everything that you can
possibly think of that is related to your niche after you do all of that you
need to click done and then when you come back into your main screen you will
see here at the top there is an option saying answer and once you click the
answer button you will see a feed with all of the questions that relate to
those categories that you've just volunteered to answer questions for so
you can scroll the feed and find the questions that are suitable for you the
questions that you don't want to answer you can just pass on for example here it
says what are some challenges facing the SEO industries I can simply click pass
on that and then I will scroll down until
find something that I do want to answer to you we'll see here it says why the
different SEO tools show different numbers of backlinks okay so I could now
go into this question read the question check out the answers that have already
been given and then give my own answer so to give an answer I need to do is
start typing the answer here and according to Quora rules at the
moment you are allowed to link back to your website provided that Aransas high
quality and the link that you provide actually adds value to the answer so to
give you an example here if I had a post on my site that talks about SEO tools
and why they show different numbers of backlinks I could give a nice long
answer that properly answers the question that's been asked and I can
provide a link to my website at the bottom of the sensor for example saying
something like if you would like to know more you can read about it here in my
blog post so here is another example you can see here there is a question what is
your review of us this year which is a wordpress plugin and here is an answer
that has been uploaded several times we can see well it's had one upload and
there are links within this answer - there is blog posts so you can do
exactly that to get traffic from Quora onto your website by providing the link
inside the answer to maximize your results on Quora make sure that your
answers are actually helpful if your answers get upwards then Quora will
promote your answer on their platform as well as to their email list that will
mean that your answer will get a lot of views from people opening their emails
as well as from notifications inside the Quora platform so this was strategy
number one Quora.com traffic now let's move on to
strategy number two viral traffic this is one of the things that has been
working exceptionally well for me so I want to share it with you guys as well
as you can see here my new posts get a ton of shares this recent post has had
150 shares in just a few days without me doing anything and this one has had 191
shares in a couple of weeks how does it work well people love sharing stuff on
social media anyone who visits my blog likes the article can click one of these
sharing buttons and share this article with their followers on Facebook Twitter
and so on this gets me free visitors without me having to do anything so if
you're currently not using any of the social sharing plugins then you most
likely missing out on a lot of targeted traffic I also resisted installing a
social sharing plugin for a really long time I'm not entirely sure why I just
did not think that it would actually give me any benefit but it turns out
that they work really well and bringing huge spikes of traffic just like what
you can see here here is exactly how you can get a lot of free traffic using
social sharing plugins the plug-in that I use on my website is called social
warfare there is a free plan that's more than enough for most websites if you
need some extra features down the road there is a professional version of it
available as well you simply need to download the plug-in and install it on
your website with the free plan you'll be able to get this beautiful sharing
buttons on your website with a pro plan you will be able to access some
additional features such as additional designs for the buttons and only
displaying social counts once the shares has reached a certain minimum threshold
if you want to check out social warfare for yourself then click the link in the
description below now let's talk about strategy number three answer the public
answer the public is a website that will help you get free very targeted long
tail search engine traffic you simply cannot get these keywords using any
other keyword research tool so keep watching to find out exactly how you can
use answer the public to start using enter the public simply type in three
words answer the public into Google and click the first result that comes up
here we are on the answer the public website and answer the public in a
nutshell is a platform that allows you to collect real questions that people
type into Google and convert them into longtail keywords that you can use to
get free traffic to your websites or blogs so let me give you an example of
how this works by the way I love this guy he's really funny he gets very
frustrated if you don't actually type stuff in people were in a weight loss
niche I will type in how to lose weight in to enter the public
and click get questions now it's going to take a moment or a few moments to
collect the keywords for you so as you can see now I've got several hundred
various longtail keywords which are represented in both the graphical form
here at the top as well as the least form at the bottom and these are really
unique because you will not be able to get these same questions or these same
keywords anywhere else using any other tool you can only get them using answer
the public and they are once again real keywords that people type into Google
for example will probiotics help to lose weight will fasting help to lose weight
when to lose weight after giving birth and so on so they are very hyper
targeted questions with problems that people need solutions for alright now
let me give you an example of how you can get traffic with this let's just
type one of them into Google and see how much exact competition we have so I'm
going to take this one how to lose weight with Zumba Fitness copy it and
then paste it into Google enclosed in quotation marks so that we can figure
out exactly how much that exact competition the reason Google for this
keyword so we can see that there are only 19 results this is amazing because
for most of these things when you type them into Google you get 50 or a hundred
thousand websites that are competing for that direct phrase ok here there are
only 19 and this is an actual keyword that people type in on a regular basis
into Google what that means if you create some high quality content that's
focused on this keyword how to lose weight with Zumba Fitness you are very
likely to end up on page one of Google even if your website has super minimal
Authority simply because there is so little competition out there for this
keyword I'm hoping you're seeing the power of this now let's take it to the
next level how do you actually get massive targeted traffic using into the
public comm well you already know that there are hundreds of suggestions here
that you can get for your initial the strategy is to pick out 10 or
20 of these questions check them out in Google like this using the quotation
marks and verify that there is little competition so anything under 3000 is
great once you've got 10 or 20 of these keywords then create one article which
covers each of these questions in 100 to 200 words so you would take how to lose
weight with Zumba fitness and make that one of the headings h1 on your article
and then answer that question with 100 to 200 words and then repeat the process
so basically create an article that answers approximately 10 to 20 of these
questions in one article you will have this way you will have an article that's
1,000 to 2,000 words in length which is excellent length for google and once you
publish that your radical is very likely to start pulling in this longtail
keyword search traffic from Google which will be very very targeted and with very
easy to get and once again you can only do this using enter the public forum you
can't get this kind of information using any other of the keyword research tools
so I'm hoping you're seeing the potential of this into the public is an
amazing tool and you can get a lot of free traffic to your website or blog
using it alright so this was the whole process for how you can use answer the
public to get traffic now let's move on to strategy number four which is
building your email list not building your email list is one of the biggest
mistakes that you can make for the first eight years of my internet marketing
business career I was not building an email list and I really regret it now
you can drive all the traffic you want to your website but if you're not
capturing it into an email list you're not actually growing your customer base
and your audience you have now learned three various techniques just from this
video for how you can get the traffic onto your website or blog
that's Quora social sharing and enter the public but once you implement these
techniques or any other techniques 95% of the people who come to your website
will leave without buying anything and they will never come back to your
website that's why you really need to start building a list of those email
subscribers once you've got an email list then getting the traffic to your
website is as as sending an email to your subscribers
most of the beginner websites that I see are not collecting email subscribers at
all and that's a huge mistake so here are a few tips and strategies
that you can implement today to start building your email subscriber list
using these techniques personally I've been adding between 30 and 40 email
subscribers every single day just from my campaign at a blogger website and I'm
going to show you how to do the same in just a second
the first place where you should be inserting an opt-in form is your home
page as you can see on my caffeinated blogger website I have two opt-in forms
on my home page one at the top and one at the bottom now the reason why it's so
important to have opt-in pages on your home page is that a large proportion of
the people who come to any page on your site will end up checking out your home
page just to see what your site is all about so you do get a lot of referral
traffic onto your home page in virtually any niche with virtually any website
that I have personally seen the the opt-in form that's laid out this way on
the home page converts really well as you can see from my thrive leads
dashboard here are the stats on the conversions from that home page so the
top home page opt-in form converts a 3.5 5% and the bottom part of it converts a
3.3 7% if we add those up together because they are the same page view in
total approximately 7% of everyone who visits my home page ends up joining my
email list that's a really great statistic when you compare it to a lot
of the other types of opt-in sidebar and so forth if you're not currently using
an opt-in form on your home page then I recommend that you definitely do it this
kind of front page opt-in format works in any niche my blog is in the blogging
and traffic niche but the same format works absolutely the same in weight loss
niche in health niche relationships niche any niche that you can possibly
think of the second type of opt-in form that I see a lot of people not using and
that actually works really really well is the dedicated squeeze page similar to
what you can see on the screen here so here I'm offering a free traffic course
to anyone who wants to sign up to it and the way that I drive traffic to it is
from variety of different sources so
basically I linked to this page from nearly all of my blog posts at least a
couple of times and that drives a lot of traffic from all of these blog posts and
from the various other traffic sources onto this squeeze page I will show you
an example here is an example of a blog post you can see that at the bottom here
I am linking to this free course the wedding that I'm using is sign up for my
free Pinterest traffic course here and a lot of people that click on here will
land onto the squeeze page where they're able to sign up to the free traffic
course I'm here inside the thrive leads dashboard and as you can see my
conversions currently see that fifty one point three seven percent and using this
squeeze page I've added one thousand seven hundred and forty-one leads so far
since I last reset stats the third type of opt-in form that you can use is
sidebar opt-in but with a twist let me show you what I mean
so you most likely have seen or possibly are yourself using a sidebar opt-in
which is similar to this what I'm offering here on the right-hand side
free traffic course 1000 visitors the problem with most of these sidebar
opt-ins is that once a user Scrolls past them it's gone out of their sight never
to come back again so this is not very good for your list building so the
little hack that I recommend you implement if you're not using it yet is
to make that opt-in sticky so as you can see I've got my opt-in form here again
in the sidebar but as the user continue scrolling down the blog post this second
form actually ends up being sticky that means that if they continue scrolling
down the post that sidebar will always be in their face at least on the desktop
to do this I use a plug-in called q2 w3 fixed widget which is a free plugin
which you can download from the wordpress.org website once you installed
and activated the q2 w3 fixed widget it will add this little option here to your
sidebar widgets called fixed widget all you then need to do is take this text
widget check box for the widget that you would like to be fixed and it will then
stick in the sidebar and not actually drop
the screen as the user is scrolling down the screen once you implement this and
the sidebar becomes sticky you're very likely to get more opt-ins to your email
list than if you were not using this fixed sidebar widget so how does it
convert I'm here inside my thrive leads dashboard once again and as you can see
my Pinterest traffic course which is my sidebar widget converts at one point 92%
which is quite good compared to the times when I was not using this fixed
sidebar widget I was getting less than 1% conversions so this has effectively
enabled me to double my opt-in rate just by using this q2 w3 fixed widget opt-in
using all of these tips you should now be well on your way to building your own
email subscriber list in case you're curious what plug-in I'm using on my
website to build my subscriber list as well as to run all of the analytics for
lead collection it's called thrive leads I love that plug-in I use it myself
on all of my websites and if you want to check it out then you can click the link
