The Free Traffic Myth - There is no such thing as free traffic! #Best Education Page #Online Earning

The Free Traffic Myth - There is no such thing as free traffic!


hi miles Becker here and in this video
we're gonna talk about the myth of free
traffic now first of all I need to
apologize if I've used the phrase free
traffic previously on this channel or in
any of the blog post at Mile speckler
calm it's it's a term that's kind of
misleading at best it's an easy term to
use because it's short and it's got a
ring to it and free traffic kind of
sounds quick and easy and it's in clear
contrast to paid traffic so in that
sense it's an easy word to use but it's
very misleading in the fact that it's
absolutely not free and this is the myth
of free traffic so I think a better
phrase for it no we're not gonna try to
replace with free is earned traffic
because in order to get free traffic and
I'll give you an idea of what free
traffic sources are and what that means
it takes a lot of life energy you need
to put out content this video right now
that you're watching that I'm recording
it's an attempt in some senses at free
traffic right there might be a link to
miles Becker calm in the description
below and in theory people who were
interested in watch this video and
they're interested in learning more
about me they can go to my blog they can
read some of my posts they can join my
mailing list they can find the products
and tools that I use to build my
business and they might be able to kind
of sign up for a tool that I have an
affiliate link for now that's not my
goal of this video but I'm trying to
give you a direct understanding of what
people use free traffic for now earn
traffic is a lot better of an idea
because right now I've got two lights
you can probably see me shading myself a
little bit here right so I've got to
stand up lights
I've got tripods under those lights I've
got a tripod under my phone my phone is
a nexus 6p which is you know five six
andr dollar phone I've got a microphone
plugged into it so just the cost of the
items to create this video alone prove
that it's not free traffic and it's
taking my time I could be sending an
email to my list right now I could be
tweaking my facebook pay-per-click
campaigns I could be optimizing my
funnel or testing a new OTO in my funnel
which I've got the videos cut for that I
need to get that stuff and play
but I've committed to taking time to
help teach you how this business works
so I'm setting aside time from my
money-making activities in my business
to share this with you so again that's
costing me money in a kind of a
roundabout way if you will so again this
isn't free traffic but it is earned
traffic and my goal with these videos
and my goal with any sort of urban
traffic and your goal when you're making
earned traffic kind of items and content
is to help build a relationship between
you and an individual who's searching
for a solution so someone might find
this video who's like is there such
thing as free traffic could be something
they'd search in they could find this
video and they could see my explanation
of no there's not actually there's earn
traffic you can earn it but it still has
costs associated with it
they might vibe with me and then they
might subscribe to my channel and watch
my future videos and that's how it can
be an audience
growing tool now some of the most common
types of earned traffic or what people
will call free traffic can also be
called organic traffic so there's
organic social media traffic right
there's organic Facebook traffic there's
organic Pinterest traffic or organic
twitter traffic and that's where you
spend time physically on these different
ecosystems and on these different
platforms and you grow a fan page and
you post things that people want to hear
and you post image memes that people
like and people share and you post your
blog posts that you write on your
Facebook fan page and they get shared by
your audience now again this takes a lot
of time and energy and honest in this
day and age Facebook's crushing reach
and it's lowering the amount of reach
you get any time you put a link outside
of Facebook in a post so it would take
you creating image beams it would take
you creating blog posts and it would
take you taking the time to create a fan
page and join groups and to distribute
your content through Facebook in these
different avenues Twitter is very
similar right you would build an
audience you would follow people you
would connect with people you would app
mentioned them you would read what
they're writing you would join in on the
conversation per se and then you would
begin to use it as a push platform to
publish your content Google is
potentially one of the most powerful
sources of earned
or free or organic traffic because of
the sheer volume of traffic that flows
through Google I mean there's billions
and billions and billions of searches
per month on Google it's an absurd
amount right now we get probably
something like 200 to 300 thousand
visits per month from Google organic
traffic this was not free this took
literally years of publishing content
that YouTube or that excuse me that
Google wants in order to give that
relevance and those posts to their users
so on Google for example we're starting
to get into the SEO game and I'll talk
about SEO in depth in another video but
what you need to do on Google is create
excellent content on your blog on your
WordPress blog and then eventually
Google will pick that content up and
begin to rank it in the search engines
you can also guest post or create
additional posts on sites like medium
calm or tumblr and you can link back to
your own content you can create
Pinterest based or sized images that go
into your content pin them to Pinterest
with a rich pin that would then link
back to your website and all of this is
showing Google as you get more other
websites pointing back to your content
that you are a relevant source of
information so Google will then read
your content will look at your website
and will analyze and think not actually
think but its algorithm will process the
concept of does your content is your
content worthy for me to show on the
first page of Google will your content
create a great user experience for
Google's users if that answer is yes
then your content gets delivered in the
search engine results for relevant
keyword phrases and then you receive
traffic because you show up on the first
page of Google and again it's all based
on relevance and creating awesome
content you know back in the day people
would try to game Google by publishing a
ton of crap content essentially search
engine spam and it kind of worked back
in the day for a little while but the
the funny thing is that it completely
flopped about two or three years ago
with some of the updates that Google has
made and now it's it's only worth
putting out excellent content on your
blog and on your website YouTube videos
are the same thing
you know you got to put out highly
relevant content focused on search
engine or search phrases that people are
searching and then you got to really
work to get your videos out you can eat
your videos on the Pinterest onto
YouTube put them into your blog posts
get them out on medium get them out on
other sharing sites so you can kind of
create a social buzz and that shows
Google that your video is getting picked
up it's getting liked it's gettin viewed
by people and that's what encourages
YouTube to show that video more same
thing with blog content it encourages
Google to show your blog content more
and really to get to tie this all back
I'm kind of done this really high level
of how these free traffic or earned
traffic sources work but to tie it all
back all of this takes an incredible
amount of time and energy if you need to
write an incredible blog post this is
not like sit down in 30 minutes and
crank out a blog post this is writing
what could be considered a mini ebook in
an ultimate guide to whatever your niche
is post and really laying it out over
the course of days or months writing to
3,000 words linking it all together
creating relevant imagery that links
together all of this process and layout
and design takes hours upon hours of
energy to do and your your time is money
so you are spending your time on this
and that's why earlier in this channel
we talked about how to build your
business if you have more time than
money and how to build your business if
you have more money than time you have
more money than time
it's my wholehearted recommendation that
you go ahead and start with paid traffic
you build out your funnel and you run
paid traffic and then you tweet what
you're doing on both the ads and your
funnel to increase your conversions if
you don't have any money to invest
that's when you can look into these
earned traffic sources such as Facebook
such as YouTube such as getting traffic
on Google through blogging and writing
podcasting is another fantastic way to
kind of drive traffic to your funnel is
by being a guest on other people's
podcasts or starting your own podcast
but I mean look around this is this is
professional level podcasting equipment
here this stuff cost money even if you
get a thirty dollar Plantronics headset
which I'll cover in the podcasting video
I'm doing here shortly
even that's gonna cost you money and
then there's
time you need to find the different
podcasts that you can be a part of you
need to reach out to them you need to
coordinate the time you need to set up
the time you need to record with them
for 20 30 40 minutes so it's not free it
takes time it takes energy the cool part
about it is that it's worth it and no
matter which direction you go if you've
got more time than money or if you have
more money than time you're gonna want
to commit to one or two traffic sources
potentially one content creation system
and one content distribution system and
you're gonna want to run with it and
you're gonna want to go fast and you're
gonna want to work really really hard
with this now what I mean is if you're a
writer then write create a wordpress
blog write great content and then if you
are familiar with Pinterest turn that
into your push platform to get your
message out because Pinterest has great
SEO optimization and you get good link
juice from from Pinterest right now and
there's a gigantic ecosystem of people
on Pinterest who are interested in your
topic you just need to connect your blog
post with them on Pinterest maybe you
prefer Facebook and you want to build a
fan page that's great or maybe you don't
like writing like me maybe you prefer to
create videos like this or maybe you
prefer to just speak then podcasting
would be a great direction for you to go
but ultimately if you don't have any
money to work on marketing you need to
just dig in and start creating content
and publishing it and it's not free but
it's earned and you can earn yourself
traffic and the cool part once you earn
it generally speaking if you do it
correctly that traffic will last for
months and years into the future we
still have blog posts that we wrote two
three years ago that drive hundreds and
hundreds if not thousands of visitors to
our website every single month from
efforts we put in two three four five
years ago and we're still adding new
blog posts and driving new traffic and
that's how we've grown our site to bring
in a half a million to 600,000 visits
per month is the consistency of
publishing over the course of seven or
eight years now you don't need that much
traffic to build a successful business
we're just inspired to get our messages
out here on YouTube I've cut about 45
videos I've now connected with over a
thousand different people who watch
these videos I'm the subscribers number
are growing very fast the amount of
traffic that makes it back to my website
is up over fifty percent
month-over-month right now so I'm
getting the value out of it but to
create 45 videos to publish 45 videos
it's taking a lot of time and I'm
committed to that I want to share this
message I want to connect with you if
you're building a business I want to
help you grow your business online if
you're building a business online and
that's why I'm doing this and that's why
this is a passion of mine and I'm just
sharing my passion so the secret is that
this is kind of fun and when my wife
writes blog posts about meditation or
about spirituality
she loves the topics so that content
researching it and writing it and
putting it together it's fun for her so
this is how building a business based on
your passion makes it a lot easier so
taking the time to build this content it
does take time it is not free I can tell
you it's very valuable and it's worth it
but if you have enough money in the bank
or if you've got a high paying job and
you're just tired of the rat race and
you're looking to unplug it may be a
better option for you to go straight to
paid traffic and straight to paid
traffic to a funnel and work on the
optimization because that really is the
fast track to building a successful five
figure monthly business online is the
paid way but with that said you can use
earned traffic not free traffic to build
your business online as well it takes
more time it takes more energy it can
create long lasting results from the
energy that you put in I hope I've been
able to clear up a little bit about the
free traffic myth and what the reality
of free traffic is I will work to use
earned traffic or organic traffic in
order to communicate the idea that I
used to communicate with free traffic
just so that I'm really clear and that
it does insinuate that there is energy
and effort and there is a cost to the
traffic if you like this video and you

you have any comments about earned
traffic if you've been working with an
earn traffic situation that works well
for you or you have questions about
which earned traffic platform is best
for you leave me a comment below I'm
happy to answer thank you very much for
your time again I'm Miles Beckler and I
hope to see you on the next video
