You’re always trying to think of new, creative ways to get more traffic. There are tons of options. But, you want to find methods that aren’t too saturated but are still extremely effective.
The best methods are those that are low in cost, expose you to very highly targeted traffic, help you build your list, and grow your authority.
I’m about to share a method with you that does all of the above.
You can get traffic from other marketer’s download pages.
There are so many different ways to get traffic. Honestly, it’s all a little exhausting sometimes. What’s the right and wrong way to do it?

But, people get scared. They get scared if it’s something they’ve never done before—which is often the case for small businesses and social media. And, maybe they have a personal Facebook page but can’t conceive of how they could possibly use the Facebook platform to drive traffic.
