| Hi kzhunadia170zdthxzdfth, I spent the first 10 years of my career as a "traffic guy." Which means I specialized in driving traffic to sites, especially from paid search and search engine optimization (SEO). And while paid search and SEO are must-have traffic sources for established sites, they can be huge wastes of time (and money) for new sites. First, let me say that SEO is great because it can drive boatloads of free search engine traffic to your site. The downside is that it can take 6 months or more of hard work before you start getting much traffic. I don't know about you, but I'm impatient. I don't want to wait 6 months for my new sites to get any traffic. So today I'm going to reveal my favorite way to get free traffic for new sites. This guide will get you traffic fast. I've launched sites that received hundreds of visits on the very first day I launched them (and, no, those visits weren't from my mom furiously clicking refresh). Better yet, the tips in this guide don't depend on spending money, or hoping Google decides to rank your site. And it all starts with finding your community. Let me explain. There are multiple sites, blogs, Facebook groups, and forums devoted to your site's topic. Knitting... jewelry... writing... history... competitive Tiddlywinks... you name the topic, the internet has large groups of passionate people discussing it. These people are your potential site visitors, readers, fans, and customers. Invest a few hours reading as much as you can, and develop a sense for the community's likes and dislikes. Your goal is to become a valued and contributing leader in the community. Here are your marketing tasks for the first month after you launch the site to work towards that goal: 1) Develop a list of all blogs, forums, Facebook groups, trade journals, email newsletters, and influencers in your space. Write them down and keep the list close, because you should start visiting these sites daily. 2) Join those sites and become a valuable member of those communities. IMPORTANT: DO NOT spam the communities with links to your site. Become a valuable member first. Introduce yourself as a fellow enthusiast. Participate in the conversation. Integrate yourself in the group. 3) Reach out to bloggers in your space and offer to write guest posts. Write an awesome post about a topic the community will love. Guest writers are typically given a "byline" in exchange for their post. The byline is a paragraph about you. This is your chance to tell the world about your site and why the community should care about it. 4) Reach out to social media influencers and let them know about your awesome site / service / offering. Hopefully you've already developed relationship with the influencers by engaging with them in the larger community. They'll be much more responsive to your requests for links if they know you. 5) If your project has a local element (if you're a restaurant, or a local service provider, for example), float your story to local media. Local news stations, newspapers, and sites are always looking for stories, and getting mentioned by the afternoon news can provide a great burst of qualified traffic. 6) Join local business groups, like the Chamber of Commerce. These groups often have pages that link to their members' sites. It's great for SEO and it can be a good source of traffic too. I'll cover SEO in-depth tomorrow, so keep an eye on your inbox. Going through these steps is a great way to launch your site. You'll establish contacts with the most important influencers in your space. You'll receive valuable feedback along the way. And you'll be well one your way to becoming a pillar of your community. Regards,
Don Lair
