What To Do When You Need To Get Traffic To Your Site But You Have No Money

Let me share a short story with you... when I first started doing my own internet business. I have only $200 startup capital because of the bills and household expenses that I need to pay. The best part is I spent $97 out of the $200 to purchase a traffic generation e-book and the rest on an auto responding service. But within six months, I am earning a steady income that allows me to quit my day job as an engineer and go full time into this internet business of my own.So is it really necessary to have a lot of money in order to successfully drive traffic to your website. Personally, I believe everything in life has two sides. If you do not have or do not want to spend money on traffic generation, you have to trade off with your time which is what I did when I first started. These are what you can do to drive traffic to your site without using money but with your time.

Article WritingThere are a lot of people who are looking for related information in the internet. If you are able to provide them with useful information they are looking for with your article, you can then get them to give you their name and email address by opting into your list so that you can provide them with more information. I dedicated 2 hours a day writing 5 to 6 articles related to my field of expertise and then submit them to the top article directories in the market for people to view. This method has proven to be very effective for me and I believe you can also benefit from it too. This is because they are a lot of people out there who are facing various problems in their life and are looking for a way out. If you can help them, it will be blessing for them too.Forum ParticipationBesides using article as your way to get traffic, you can also use forum. The good thing about traffic generation using forum is that it allows you to build a brand name or trust with a group of people who are interested in the same niche as you. You can also get the chance to learn from people who are more experience than you and at the same time help those people who have lesser experience than you. By solving their question or problem stated in the forum, you can then use your signature which always appears at the end of your reply to let people know about your website and your service. This method can generate you long term traffic if you do it right.If you are just starting out in the area of internet business and do not have or want to spend money on advertising. The above 2 methods are good ways to start.Now put this into practice and you can see the results for yourself.
