Many online entrepreneurs struggle with getting enough people to their website (and then when people do come, they disappear without so much as a hello!)
If you have a website ready to collect leads, you need a traffic strategy. The best strategy is spread out among the four main types, but most of us are only utilizing one...the one that's in our comfort zone.
A well-rounded website traffic plan includes strategies in each of four pillars:
Organic Inbound (like SEO and social media)
Organic Outbound (like selling in the DMs)
Paid (like boosted posts and ads)
Borrowed (like collaboration and podcast guesting)
Since I am not an expert in every single type of online traffic, I'm gathering the people who are. Here you can choose courses and resources from experts in the traffic strategy you want to try next. [Links Go Live In April]
