Free Traffic secrets


Easy Ways to Grow Your Email List Fast

1. Pin It
Get more email subscribers by using Pinterest. Pin your landing page to your Pinterest page for additional traffic.

2. Keep Forms Simple
The best way to get people to subscribe to your email list is to keep it simple. People today don’t want to fill out several fields or complicated forms. The more fields your optin form has for them to fill out the less likely they will subscribe.

3. Just Ask
It might sound obvious, but sometimes the easiest way to grow your email list is to simply ask people if they’d like to join your email list. You should be able to edit any optin form to ask for them to join your list.

4. Offer Optin Incentives
Giving people a solid reason to subscribe is one of the easiest ways to convert more subscribers. Offer them a freebie for signing up. Make sure it a good value and actually will help them. You can give away ebooks, coupons, video training, checklists, etc.

This entices people to sign up because not only are they receiving something of high value for free, they don’t want to miss out on learning this valuable thing you are going to teach them in your giveaway.

50% of marketers that offer lead magnets to encourage signups report higher conversion rates.

5. Create a Quiz
Build a fun and useful quiz people will want to fill out. You can offer the results in exchange for an email address, and even use the quiz to provide details about your services or products.

You can search in WordPress plugins for one that creates quizzes and captures emails.

6. Enable Popups
Target visitors as they are about to leave your site with an exit popup.This gives them one last chance to consider subscribing before they leave for what may be forever. Make it even more enticing by adding an optin incentive such as the ones previously mentioned in #4.

7. Comment On Related Blogs
Comment on blog posts within your niche. When you fill out your profile information, make sure to include the URL to your optin landing page. When you leave good helpful comments people will often look at your profile to see about you.

8. Social Proof
Us humans love to make decisions based on what others do. Its a great way to give your site visitors the perfect first impression and convince them to subscribe right away.

Here are a few different types of social proof: Industry expert recommendations, current user and customer reviews, you and others sharing your site url on social platforms.

One of the most commonly used is Wisdom of Crowds. Using the sheer power of numbers to show how reliable you are is a great way to prove to new site visitors that subscribing is worth it. You can accomplish this with a plugin such as TrustPulse to display a social proof notification whenever someone signs up for your email list or purchases a product. If visitors can see that others have signed up then they will think its a good idea too.

9. Talk About It
In your videos or podcasts add a Call to Action at the end of your video or podcast or during ad breaks telling people where to go to sign up.

10. Lock Your Content
Gated content is content such as articles, white papers, videos, and more that can only be accessed by site visitors that have filled out your WordPress form and provided an email address. This is known as a Content Locker.

Gated content makes growing your mail list really easy because you’re using content you’ve already published, as opposed to lead magnets or content upgrades, which take time to create.

There are several WordPress plugins in your WordPress > plugins dashboard available that will do this.

11. Add a Sign Up Button to Facebook
This is a great way to grow your email list. Whether its a Facebook Page or Facebook ad you are using, add a call to action button to get those email subscribes. https://www.facebook.com/help/977869848936797

12. Interact On Forums
Quora is a great forum to to promote your brand. Find out what your target audience is talking about and give them so good answers.

Answering questions on popular forums and leaving your site’s landing page link that has an optin form on it, and getting people to subscribe to find out more on the topic that was answered in the forum.

This helps drive people to your website who you know are already interested in what you have to say. There is a much greater chance now of turning that person into a subscriber.

13. Help Visitors Feel Safe
Your site visitors might not want to fill out your optin form because they worry about spam, misuse of their personal information, and hackers stealing their data.

Add an anti-spam statement to your sign up forms such as “Your email address is 100% secure and we will never sell your information to a 3rd party”

Also make it easy for people to unsubscribe at anytime they want to and let them see that so they feel more at ease.

14. Avoid the Word “Submit”
Your wording really matters when trying to get visitors to optin to your list. Don’t use the words Submit, Download or Register. They have very low conversion rates where as words like Click Here and Go have a much higher conversion rate.

15. Stick to the Basics
Asking for personal information has a negative impact and reduces your conversion rate.

16. Mobile Friendly Forms
Make sure your theme is responsive.

17. Help Them Focus
People get distracted really easy so its your job to make sure they stay focused long enough to signup. If you have a visually busy and distracting site you may lose that optin. Create a clean looking site that is not flashy and distracting.

18. Add Your Landing Page to Your Instagram Bio
Turn your Instagram followers into subscribers by adding a Call To Action to your bio.

19. Run A Giveaway
By using the free Rafflepress plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/rafflepress/ you can grow your email list, website traffic, and social media followers with viral giveaways & contests.

There are also J.V. Giveaway events where a group of marketers attract a target market that benefits all of the marketers involved.

When ordinary members join the event they must first sign up to the giveaway event itself, so the event organizer gets the most opt-ins. When the members download a free gift, they have to join the email list of each J.V. Partner who has provided the free gift, so the J.V. Partners grow their list too.

20. Use Power Words
Use words that set off emotional responses in your optin form’s copy. This can greatly increase your optin rate.

21. Accept Guest Posts
This is a great way to grow your list and get user generated content for your site. Your guest blogger will more than likely share their guest post and this brings their followers to your site. These followers are already interested in your industry and you have a pretty good chance of them signing up to your list.

22. Put a CTA On Every Post
At the end of every post you want to put your Call-To-Action asking your reader to subscribe. If your visitor has read all the way to the end of your article then there’s a good chance they will want to hear more from you.

23. Get Physical
When you meet someone in person or at an event and you are talking about what you do, ask for their email so you can give them more information.



Cliff has input…

There are some great traffic sources above and beyond the glittery new thing that comes into your inbox.

A Youtube search will put you on the right track for sure.

I use a simple search pattern… Example: free traffic sources (then I filter it for ‘this year’ and ‘over 20 minutes’.)

I do it ‘this year because i want the freshest results since they have higher odds of working.

I do ‘longer than 20 minutes’ to weed out the vids that are just a quick-slam affiliate promo.

If you settle in and go through a lot of videos, you’ll collectively get a lot of good ideas you can put into practice (without buying what they are selling).

But I do want you to be realistic… You will never get a consistent enough flow of free traffic that will have enough volume to consistently put any decent amount of money in your pocket. Sure, you’ll make some here and there, and over time it will build as people slowly drip into your list, but you will be in for a long drawn out process.
