The Best Free Traffic Sources for List Building

Welcome back to the list building lifestyle. I’m your host, Igor Kheifets. As everyone knows, solo ads are my favorite source of traffic. I’m like their biggest advocate, and I spend well over $100,000 on paid traffic every month. But I know not everyone has this sort of budget. That’s why I often get asked about the best free sources of traffic and how effective I think they truly are. So today, I’m going to dive into the different free traffic sources out there like Google, Tik Tok, YouTube, etc. And I’ll give you my thoughts on the pros and cons of each and reveal which one I think is the most efficient. And now for the fun part, we used an artificial intelligence voice for the intro today that’s desperately trying to sound like me. AI technology is getting better, but it still has a long way to go before it can match my charismatic and entertaining voice. But who knows, maybe one day artificial intelligence will be able to tell jokes as good as me until then head over to Igor dot top slash voice and give me your feedback on this AI voice. Now, let’s get in.

If you can possibly figure it out, then search engine optimization. But that’s difficult. Now there’s this joke about two guys meeting up and one of them saying,

01:58

Hey, so I hear you are switching professions. So you like taking on another MBA and studying something new. He’s like, Yeah, I really thought about it and decided to settle for a nuclear physicist. And the other guy says, well, what about SEO? And he’s like, nah, nah, that’s too complicated. So you know, like, if you really can’t figure out SEO, then by all means, do that, because you can really just get traffic pockets almost, you know, go for really targeted audiences that they’re super, super targeted, whether or not they’re big.

02:31

And another one kind of ties into SEO too, I guess because it’s part of Google is YouTube. Now why YouTube and not tick tock or Facebook? Well, because YouTube is the second most popular search engine in the world right now. People go there with you know, they go there to consume news, obviously, they go there to get entertainment, but they also go there for advice and for their particular personalities that they follow. So, while on Tik Tok I don’t see much buyer traffic.

03:06

Although I heard some case studies where people sold books on Tik Tok, and they were able to, you know, sell some physical items as well. But still, I would say YouTube is where you can probably build organic following. You can get really targeted viewers. There’s a lot of existing content for which you can target. There’s a lot of like, just people go there for the right reasons when it comes to you know, when it comes to us marketers, and you know what I mean? Like they go there to engage, not something I can probably see on Tik Tok, where they go there to like my daughter goes on Tik Tok hits to watch dance videos. I mean, what you can sell to, you know, when a person is like that, so, um, yeah, probably YouTube would be number three. Now, again, this guy I met today, who is from Australia, makes about 100k per month. And not just affiliate marketing, also some other stuff. But all organic.

04:08

Like doesn’t do any paid traffic whatsoever. His name is Jacob Karis.

04:15

Two other guys who I know don’t get paid at all, are Spencer Metrum. And Jonathan Latoya, both of whom I’ve interviewed for the podcast. And they both do YouTube, and Tik Tok with YouTube being the primary source of eyeballs. So I would like out of all the different organic techniques that say YouTube would be the one where I would probably spend the most time. Yeah, it’s a bit more work intensive, there’s videos to be created and everything but at least you can win people over there and they can start following you.

04:54

And, you know, I don’t know I don’t have the same confidence about Facebook anymore, that’s for sure. And I don’t have the

05:00

Send confidence about tick tock or Instagram.

05:03

Instagram will probably try that out if I was a fitness coach. That would make sense I would post, you know, photos of my naked chest, want to be like me, you know, by this diet back whatever.

05:20

Yeah. Now another caveat to the whole organic traffic question is something that I can answer for you. And that is,

05:28

who’s hanging out where, like, if I were to if I wanted to sell, say women’s shoes, I would post a lot on Instagram, organically. I would probably go tick tock. Right.

05:44

I probably like Pinterest as another place where I would go. By the way, Pinterest is, I think, a really undervalued traffic source. And LinkedIn is something I would use for something that’s b2b Mostly. So if you’re asking what you’re getting traffic sources would you use to sell a like agency services, right for small businesses, then naturally I’d say

06:12

LinkedIn you know, literally just hit people up cold that’s what I would do so there’s a place for everyone you know, there’s a market like each network, each social network each website,

06:25

they attract a certain crowd, more than the other.
