3 Big Free Traffic Sucking Lies

Big Lie #1 — No-Cost Traffic is Bad Traffic — Have you ever noticed that most of the folks you are telling you that free traffic is bad traffic are the folks trying to sell you their services for Paid Traffic?

That little observation is something worth paying attention to and being wary.

What to Do Instead — Don’t believe the lies. I’ve seen too many beginning online entrepreneurs go into debt over paid traffic and start out in a hole. Test out free traffic sources and see which ones work for you.

Big Lie #2 — No-Cost Traffic Does Not Last — This one makes me laugh because my track record and the track record of so many of my students is just the opposite. In fact, articles I’ve created over the years still bring in great volumes of new free traffic each and every month, month after month.

What to Do Instead — Build and enjoy your “evergreen traffic machines.” Your articles on Medium, your videos on YouTube are all evergreen sources of traffic that will work for you now and in the future.

Big Lie #3 — “I Can Figure This Out on My Own” — The reality is you probably can — it will just take you a lot longer and cost you a lot more than it needs to.

What to Do Instead — Experience is not the best teacher. Other people’s experience is the best teacher.

Find someone who has built their business with Free Traffic and get their training.

Bonus Tip — Make sure who you learn from is currently doing what they are teaching.
