[Music] what is the best free traffic strategy for your business to help you thrive online through 2025 and Beyond looking through my data on my Niche sites it's clear that Pinterest is my number one source of traffic and over the last year I've actually generated over twice as many visits to my Niche site that's in the meditation and spirituality space I've generated over twice as much traffic than with Google Now I'm going to leave Google off from this little free traffic video that we're doing here today because of all of the changes that are going
on with the Google algorithm even though we will kind of talk about it but I want to eliminate from the conversation now Pinterest is a powerful way for you to start driving traffic today if your site is in the right kind of Niche because Pinterest is very Niche specific now here's a really easy way for you to understand what I mean if you're selling uh B2B Services LinkedIn right where you can connect with business owners where you can connect with CFOs and CMOS and C CEOs of businesses obviously if you're in a businessto business Niche
then LinkedIn is going to be a far superior platform for you to drive traffic but if you are in the guarding Niche if you're in a craft or hobby based Niche um anything to do with Design interior design or anything that's just visual in nature Pinterest can be a wonderful source of traffic for you now to help you understand if your Niche is Pinterest friendly or not there's a free tool that you can use I'll link to it in the description description of this video and it's a Pinterest insights tool that's going to help you
understand if your Niche actually has a lot of overlap on Pinterest because if it does the truth is you should be pushing on Pinterest traffic right now um it's very AI friendly whether you're using mid Journey whether you're creating the images with AI or the pinext with AI or doing all of it through AI it's very AI friendly today at this point in time and really one of the other reasons I like Pinterest is it has the two layers kind of similar to what YouTube does you've got that suggestion engine built in but there's also
Pinterest SEO to where you can rank when people are searching for things that you do uh for example if you help Airbnb hosts to uh earn more money with their airbnbs then you could start to put Airbnb design tips Airbnb Decor tips and these kinds of things that you know Airbnb owners are building Pinterest boards on their Pinterest accounts when they're trying to figure out how to furnish and decorate their new SL future airbnbs and when they find your content right there they might go down the rabbit hole or down the path of looking into
your Airbnb consulting or your Airbnb course or whatever it is that you sell on the back end so Pinterest is by far the number one it is driving the most traffic to my Niche site right now and has been for a very long time in total I've driven over 7 million clicks from Pinterest and that has resulted in hundreds of thousands of leads and upwards of millions of in Revenue so that's number one number two is Facebook we are driving a ton of traffic from Facebook and this is kind of recent to be perfectly honest
now I don't know exactly if it's um an algorithm change on Facebook is now allowing our content to flourish more than it was back in like January or February of 2024 or are people just starting to spend more time on Facebook because Google has destroyed their search engine I don't know but it doesn't really actually matter the truth about it is that in my analytics right now my number two source of social traffic is coming from organic Facebook content now most of this organic content that we're driving on Facebook are little kind of informative micro
posts that are linking back to our blog posts and our videos that are published on our website and the benefit of this is that we have popups we have ribbons we have ways for users to opt in and or find and buy our low ticket products once they're on our website so we've really turned the social media marketing machine with Facebook on since the help helpful content updates have kind of broken Google if you will and we're seeing hundreds of percent increases in Facebook traffic so if you're able and willing to put in the time
to create great imagery and great compelling body copy that really is going to get users to engage with your post to click and to want to learn more it's a wonderful way for you to promote all of that content you have in the past and the same is true for Pinterest right like if you have a big backlog of blogs or if you have a big backlog of videos you can post those videos on to little landing pages on your site and you can then create pins to link people back to your content on your
website or you can create Facebook posts to link people back to your website or you can do both which is obviously what we are doing because once you have a conversion engine once you got some things cooking traffic's easy right traffic is completely interchangeable any source of traffic that is relevant to my Niche is going to help more people convert when they get into my ecosystem so I want all of the different traffic sources to drive traffic to me because every traffic source that drives traffic to me drives leads drives customers and that's the game
that's the name of the game right so moving forward Beyond Facebook the third best traffic source for my website for my n site in the last year is YouTube um YouTube is notoriously difficult to get people to leave YouTube right and you obviously can uh learn a lot by watching my actions and you can see that I'm here creating a YouTube video for you a long form horizontal YouTube video to try to help you understand the world of traffic to help you understand where traffic is going into 2025 and Beyond so my actions speak very
loud in this sense but then again the analytics also do kind of look into this and do uh duplicate that and say yes YouTube does Drive quality traffic to our website it's just a very small amount when you compare it to Pinterest or compared to YouTube it's it's drastically smaller than that and those are the three top sources of organic free traffic now there's it's worth noting that I still value email traffic right when we send an email to our list and drive them to a sales page when we drive them to a blog post
when we drive them to content that we've created that is the most valuable traffic in the world so I want just to kind of like earmark that for you while you're building your traffic through Pinterest through Facebook through YouTube or wherever you go decide to drive your traffic from you want to grow an email list with that traffic that you're driving right you should have popups or landing pages and Lead magnets and follow-up sequences in order to get visitors who go look at your content who are interested in the solutions that you provide you want
to get these people on your email list so you can continue to build the relationship nurture the relationship help them get results in advance and ultimately link them over to those different uh offers that work for you uh side note here if you want to see how I'm doing email marketing day today you can just go to Miles becker.com mails that's the easiest way to get on my email list and you'll just start getting my emails as I send them out there's no drawn out autoresponder in that sequence at all it's literally just you getting
my email so you can start to observe what I do so you can learn to become an email marketer yourself um that link will also be in the description now LinkedIn is another one I want to talk about so if you're in anything that has to do with marketing uh even like streaming I think even in the YouTube world and helping digital creators or helping people who have like 9 to 5 day jobs who want to become full-time creators I really think that LinkedIn is a big opportunity and that is where I'm going to start
to focus more of my attention in the coming year I've been dabbling in testing I have some friends who are doing extremely well with LinkedIn content because they really have changed that platform over to be a social network where people do gather they spend a lot of time there they do engage with content the reason it didn't make my top three list because it's not one that I'm actively using right now since my main Niche site is again in the spirituality and meditation space our audience just isn't really there that's not to say that people
on LinkedIn don't meditate per se it just means that when they go onto that platform that's not where their heads space is and that's so important for you to remember you need to get your content in alignment with your users but when they're in that right State of Mind to be receptive for what you offer so if you're in a knitting space for example posting on LinkedIn doesn't make any sense even though there might be a lot of people who knit on LinkedIn when they go to LinkedIn they're thinking about business they're thinking about Mar
marketing they're thinking about driving more Revenue they're thinking about hiring and Outsourcing and automations and all those things in the business World whereas when users are on Facebook or when users are on Pinterest they are actively kind of interested in crafty things they are actively interested in the knitting so that would be a far superior place to go meet your people where they are are when they're in that head space on that platform the willingness to kind of engage and then as a final note on this one um I got to talk about organic traffic
from our blog content so you know I'm here on YouTube this is video like 890 or something like that I I use this as a search engine right YouTube is a search engine I drive a lot of traffic to my YouTube videos tens of millions of visits from YouTube search and our blog over the course of the years has reached over 50 million people through keyword targeted post posts that are SEO optimized and over the last year the Google unhelpful content update has absolutely destroyed a lot of Niche sites but at the same time there's
a lot of Niche sites that are doing very well still now I am noticing a pattern in my analytics that is important for us to talk about right now because my traffic from Yahoo being and duck Dugo is noteworthy and not only is it noteworthy it there each of those are up drastic Bally so these are some of the highest increases in traffic that I am seeing in like 90 days over 90 days month over month year over year right now is actually in these additional search engines so what is actually going on here number
one idea number one and I don't know I'm I'm um I'm theorizing with you in real time because I've just completed a very deep dive into my analytics and into my data to kind of discover this information that I'm sharing with you in real time like I just discovered all of this this morning so is it that Google has destroyed search um the only things that rank on Google Now are like Old quora Post and old Reddit posts which nobody likes and they're stuffing their really bad AI down our throats are people getting fed up
with Google and actually starting to use other search engines if so this would totally account for why I'm getting a lot more traffic right if if being duck ducko and Yahoo are literally just getting twice as many searches as they were 6 months ago today because Google has broken its core product then that makes sense that I would see more and more content or is there somehow the way we optimized content for Google back in 2021 2022 2023 with the core basics of SEO have they optimized their algorithms they being Yahoo um duck Dogo and
being have they optimized their algorithms in a way that I'm now ranking better where I wasn't ranking as good I don't know and I don't need to know don't actually need to care what I'm seeing is that my organic content is continuing to rank and when I add together Bing duck ducko and Yahoo when I add them all together boy they take over as one of the most dominant sources of traffic each of them individually drove more traffic than YouTube and each of them individually drove more traffic than Facebook so if you're a long form
writer if you're a blogger if you're just down in the dumps that the world of easy Google traffic is over I do want to just drop that little comment of don't worry there is still a lot of traffic to be had in that world of creating organic content that you publish to your blog because you can get traffic from the alternative search engines you can also Drive traffic to your blog post from Pinterest pins from your Facebook content you can also grow your email list with all of this traffic and then you can drive those
email visitors back to your blog posts that you written and when your blog posts are created and written in a way that they actually help your users get the results that they're looking for your entire business is in alignment with the law of attraction right there's that old Zig Ziggler quote that says you can have anything you want in this world if you help enough other people get what they want you know on the miles Beckler blog I have deep dive blog posts that'll teach you how to start a blog how to grow your email
list how to drive traffic how to do keyword research these are core fundamental tutorial trainings that literally teach people exactly how to do what they're searching to do so if the search engines aren't delivering people who are interested in that directly to those blog posts then it's my job as the Creator to go strum up that traffic from Facebook from the uh YouTubes of the world from potentially uh pinterestsubmit than Pinterest but Pinterest in and of itself was the number one traffic source for uh my entire website for my Niche site in so far in
this entire year looking back it it beat out Google uh which is noteworthy and and that's really it I just want you to continue to move forward remember traffic is interchangeable okay there's no one best traffic that will be the best traffic forever the algorithms are always changing the world of traffic is always changing and it always has been so you need to be adaptable and you need to be really just blazing forward with what's working and what's driving results for you right here and now and then when you pivot you want to find ways
to leverage what you did in the past in order to continue to build upon it so if you were blogging for the last two or three years and your traffic has fallen off a cliff from your blog you can still drive traffic to those blog posts when you use some of these additional free traffic strategies that we've talked about here and of course I run a lot of Facebook ads I'm a big fan of advertising because I can advertise to get people my landing pages to get them into my lead magnets to get them onto
my email list that email traffic is the most valuable traffic in the world I hope this has been helpful for you if you have questions for me about traffic go ahead and leave them in the comments remember in the description you can go through the free Pinterest tool that is going to help you understand if Pinterest is one of those platforms that would work for you in your Niche I have some additional trainings on Pinterest that I will link to down in the links below and I've got uh my other free resources my email list
