5 easy ways to increase website traffic(Free):

1. Optimize your website

You first need to make sure your website content is optimized. Otherwise, the traffic will be fleeting and only temporary.

2. Use social media

Once your website is prepared for more traffic, you must start driving traffic to it!

3. Do content outreach and guest posting

Social media is one part of the puzzle. You must also get your content in front of new audiences. 

4. Create a system that allows you to get recurring traffic

Over-reliance on search engines or social media for traffic can backfire. Sites lose entire search rankings, and consequently traffic, overnight. Social media algorithms change, too. With the right system, however, you are in control of your traffic and can command it at will.

5. Repackage and re-purpose your content

A single piece of content can be re-purposed into a dozen different pieces, and distributed to a dozen different channels, instantly increasing your reach by 12 times.

All of these were great answers. You could also create display ads that show on websites of the digital arts field. The display ads are the cheapest of all the ad types. Also re-target to those viewers who showed interest in your offers from the first visit. Collecting emails from interested viewers and re-targeting to those viewers is the most effective and cheapest advertising method.

Hi there :) My name is Emilian and I would love to help you with some tips.

Before you start running traffic make sure you understand the game of traffic.

There are 3 types of traffic and therefore 3 levels of traffic.

Let's break down the levels:

Level 1: Fast results.

- Influencer Media

- 24hour Traffic

- Social Media

- Display Media

- PPC

Level 2: Strategic Scale

- CPA TRAFFIC MEDIA

Level 3: Domination

- Retargeting

- Ultimate Traffic Media

Let's go through "The 3x Types of Traffic"

‘Traffic You Control’: This is the traffic you pay for through ads on Instagram, Facebook, Google and so on.

‘Traffic You Don’t Control’: This is the traffic that comes from Blogs, Social Media when someone mentioned or shared your link with others. It's free traffic but you have no control over it.

‘Traffic You Own’: This is your mail list. All the emails you have collected along the way via lead magnet, subscribers, followers etc.

If you are just advertising, paying for traffic and not collecting emails you will never actually own your traffic.

Paid traffic might be profitable in the beginning but in the long run, it will cost you a lot of money. The traffic you own becomes your long term solution:

• You can have a mail list that you can send promotions and sell your services and products
• You can use this mail list to acquire a lookalike audience on Facebook
• You can re-target to the people you already marketed to
• Once you own the traffic, it's free for you to advertise to them

A lead magnet is an easy way to collect emails so you can convert ANY traffic into the traffic you own.

Simple concept, but super powerful! Any questions? I can teach you how to get unlimited traffic. I am willing to schedule a meeting with you to give you some ideas :)

Hope you got value :)

I'm sure that if you just started you don't need most of the things everyone mentioned here. The only thing you need is to pick a social media platform and learn how to get to your target audience through there. No need to spend a single buck to get great results. Let's pick Instagram - just knowing how to search for a hashtag your audience is interested in opens you up to tons of potential customers.

To bring more traffic to your website you’ll want to start with a simple strategy and build it over time.

Paid Traffic:- Paid traffic is always costly in comparison to organic traffic.

Google Ads, Facebook Ads, Twitter Ads, LinkedIn Ads

Organic Traffic:- Organic traffic is completely different/opposite from paid traffic. In this, you can get limitless traffic for a long time without spending.

SEO:- SEO (search engine optimization) is one of the most popular and effective sources for generating organic traffic.
