Without much ado, see in a practical way how to use 40 different sources to not be a hostage of traditional paid media!
01 – Controversial Articles
This technique used by many digital marketers is very effective for attracting traffic to your articles. By creating a controversial article, for example, people tend to be drawn to click on your link and taste that content that goes against the opinion of the majority of them.
An example I can cite is this article I created here on the blog that deals with the revealed truth of the online business formula course.
As you can see, the title draws attention due to its controversy in telling a truth that no one had ever told, and the same has been generating several visits for me over time.
02 – Complete tutorials and guides
Another way to generate traffic for your business is to create practical tutorials and complete guides for your audience.
Most people like complete and quality content, and there is nothing better than offering this in your projects.
03 – Reuse your content
Texts;
Videos;
Audios;
Podcasts;
Slides
These are some ways you can use to reuse your content. You can, for example, create a text article and later create a video version of it and host it on YouTube or even create a slide of the article and host it on SlideShare.
In the article below I show some techniques you can use to promote your article and reuse it.
04 – Interviews
Experts;
Case studies;
Producers and creators;
Students;
Companies in the field.
Another very interesting way to get traffic is through interviews.
You can interview people from the same niche as yours, influential people, producers, students, and even companies in the same field as yours.
Most of this traffic will come precisely from the followers of the people you are interviewing. With this technique, you will not only be generating traffic, but also authority in your market.
And remembering our initial formula, we can also add authority: traffic + conversion + authority = money.
* BLOGS
05 – Comments
Comments on influential blogs can also be considered a great source of traffic.
One tip is to create a list of blogs you can visit and always leave a comment on the articles you read whenever possible. Another important thing is to always try to be the first to comment on these articles.
06 – GuestPosts
Another very efficient and widely used source of traffic is the creation of GuestPosts. This technique, in addition to generating good traffic, brings with it some positive factors for the SEO of your blog.
07 – Banner Exchange
Banner exchange is very effective when the blog you are targeting has a good amount of traffic. Here comes the following premise: if you are not seen, you will not be remembered!
08 – Link Exchange
This is a strategy that was widely used in the past. However, there are still people who use it and are getting a good amount of visits from other blogs.
I confess that I use this source of traffic, but with some moderation, due to the fact that Google is always keeping an eye on the dirty backlinks that our project may acquire over time.
09 – Social sharing buttons on your blog
If you look closely, when you hover over or select a text here on the blog, a box will appear providing some social buttons for sharing on social networks.
These features are important for the dissemination of information and consequently for the increase of visits.
The services I use are Markely and GetSocial. Here is a tip for you to implement these features today.
* SOCIAL NETWORKS
10 – Facebook
Facebook Ads;
Groups;
Fanpages;
Social Profile.
You can and should promote your projects on Facebook. Being one of the largest social networks today, Facebook can generate thousands of visits to your blog.
Make use of paid advertising, groups, fanpages, and your social profile. With these tools combined with a good promotion plan, visits and traffic will start to appear.
11 – Twitter
Social Profile;
Company Profile;
Hashtags.
Just like Facebook, use all these resources in your promotion campaigns. Try to get as many followers as possible.
12 – LinkedIn
Groups;
Social Profile;
The Group itself.
LinkedIn is constantly growing and should not be overlooked when it comes to traffic generation.
13 – Google +
Social Profile; Communities.
I confess that lately I have been giving more and more emphasis to Google +. There are some features on this social network that facilitate traffic generation for our business. For example, sending an email to your followers when you share something. Not to mention that Google itself is positioning some posts from this social network in the SERP.
14 – Pinterest
This social network is interesting for people who like, for example, to create infographics. On it, you can share this material and get several followers who may happen to be visiting your site and thus generating visits for your business.
15 – Instagram
Instagram is well known in the world of “selfies” and can also be used as a very productive source of traffic.
16 – Facebook Ads
As mentioned above, you can use Facebook paid advertising to generate more visitors and potential customers for your business.
17 – Buying Banners
You can also buy advertising space on renowned blogs to thus acquire more visitors for your project.
An example I can cite is Escola Dinheiro (now defunct), which for a long time sold advertising space.
18 – Google Adwords
Google Adwords can be a cool alternative for those who want to invest a little in paid traffic. I confess that I am not a big fan of this type of traffic, but since we are talking about all ways to generate visits, I have to talk about these ways.
19 – Sponsored Articles
As mentioned in method 17, sponsored articles can be a good way to generate plenty of visits and consequently even gain a little authority.
* FREE TRAFFIC
20 – Content Aggregators
There are several ways to get free traffic on the internet. Some of these ways have already been mentioned and shown here in this article, and others I will show now in this topic. But first I want you to know that in the Traffic Generator course, some ninja techniques for generating free traffic are covered.
21 – Email Marketing List
Email marketing lists play an important role in obtaining visitors for your projects. This is because most of the people who are already on your list believe in your work and should be the first to visit your articles or content.
So, feel obligated to always promote your content initially to your list, so that they, along with other people, can taste your content and consequently share and spread the information, thus generating more and more visitors and future customers.
22 – Organic Traffic
This is undoubtedly one of the main sources of free traffic on the internet. If you manage to align good content with good optimization for search engines, the result will be extraordinary.
23 – Referrals from other sites
This technique is a bit difficult to apply, because you will need, for example, to catch the attention of other people who have an influential project on the internet.
This strategy consists of you receiving referrals from other sites and consequently receiving visitors coming from that referral.
One way to stand out and thus get these referrals is to provide epic, quality content that stands out from the rest. This can be a point in your favor when another person promotes your business.
24 – Forums
Forums can be a good long-term alternative for your visits. This is because by answering, for example, a question on Yahoo Answers, that answer will be saved and in the future other people can consult it and even visit your site.
25 – YouTube
Videos in general;
YouTube Channel;
Video answers.
Creating videos still is and will be for a long time one of the best ways to get free traffic for your business.
26 – Vimeo
Do not restrict yourself only to YouTube, there are several other tools that have the same purpose, and one of them is Vimeo.
27 – Videos on Facebook
Facebook has been standing out a lot when it comes to videos. You should, just like on YouTube, use this to your advantage and start hosting your videos on this social network today.
28 – Dailymotion
Another way to promote your content for free.
29 – UolMais
As mentioned earlier, diversify your promotion media and thus you will see the full growth of your project.

31 – Prezi
Just like Slideshare, share your content on Prezi and increase your traffic.
32 – Scribd
Just like the tools mentioned above, Scribd will also serve as a good database for your slides.
The secret is to reuse all the content you create and consequently acquire more and more visitors with these traffic sources.
