A free profitable niche idea is basically a topic people are willing to interact with like a discussion, something they which to learn and even spend money on.

Basically, to find a free profitable niche idea, you need to find out what you already know. Start with your natural beauty tips, personal psychology and mentality tips, home gardening and cooking tips, school tips to get good notes even your religion can make a good profitable niche idea.
Then you want to start writing free unlimited content surrounding this particular niche idea.
What is a free content?
In its simplest form, a free content is a topic in writing, social media posts, infographics, podcast video and audio.
How to write free content?
First you need to choose a category you are comfortable writing about say religion. Then you want to break it down into a subject say Christianity. Then from a subject to a topic say Bible. Then you want to break down your topic into as many subheadings as possible. A good subheading could be how to motivate yourself to read the Bible.
What you will need when targeting a particular free profitable niche idea is to write one pillar content.
What is a pillar content?
A pillar content is a well structured and fully detailed content.
How to write a pillar content?
A great pillar content usually starts right from a great title. Say you have picked up a niche to motivate people that need motivation reading the Bible. Avoid titles like Bible Lessons For Dummies, Bible Lessons For Beginners. Instead, go in for titles like The Complete Guide To Reading The Bible, Bible Stories To Help You Better Understand The Bible.
You want to make your readers feel special. Most of your readers will be beginner Christians though and even old Christians that either lack motivation to read the Bible or find the Bible hard to read, uninteresting and even boring.
So when writing your pillar content try and make it simple and understandable even to someone that has never seen the Bible before. The Bible is filled with stories of regular people like you and I. Choose some great Bible stories and explain them to your readers. That will help stop them from finding the Bible as an uninteresting and boring book and can also appeal to beginner Christians.
Even the teachings of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ found in Mathew, Mark, Luke and John can be of great help to Bible reading beginners and Christians that lack the motivation to read the Bible.
So your pillar content is a complete and thorough explanation of your free profitable niche idea. You want to break down your pillar content into sections explaining every section in detail. You can tap inspiration from this pillar content that you are reading right now.
To make your pillar content stand out online, you need to do a lot of research. There are many Christian online forums, Q & A sites like Quora, Yahoo answer. Head over there and find out the questions Christians are already asking to help them better understand the faith.
There are also a lot of online churches and even private individuals writing Christian devotions online. You can do a Google search to find a good number of them. Read through their work to better your knowledge. Who knows you might just end up learning something new yourself that will be helpful to your readers.
Reading books from great preachers can also help widen your knowledge of the Christian faith that will be of great help to your readers. If you are such a devoted Christian then you must have some preachers that inspire and encourage you in the faith. You can even watch their sermons for free on youtube. Follow them on Facebook and Twitter to always keep up when they post inspirational and encouraging quotes.
If you do research on your pillar content carefully, this should take you no less than 3 months with some hard work on your part
Aid factors to writing a free content.
To start writing free contents you will first need a map. In your map you can have things like structure, user expectations, approach, guide, editing, construction, abstracting free content ideas, development, creativity, table of content, laser targeted content, production.
How to write a table of content?
First, you will need definitions, then how to's and then sections. Sections are basically parts within the free content covering different aspects as users might demand. For example, someone that has problems reading the Bible might also need to know the benefits of reading the Bible.
How to construct a free content idea?
It's just like constructing say a car. You know you need some raw materials, design, technical know-how, decorations, add ons.
What are the raw materials of a free content?
Say you want to write free content on Christianity, your raw material is the Bible.
How to design a free content?
In the case of a car some like big cars while others small cars. Some like it fast while others not so fast. Some like a black, red, white... car. With a free content some like it short direct to the point while others like it long defining every word, some like elaborations like with videos, audios, podcasts, pictures, infographics and some can handle the plain text. So you might want to add a few if not all of these other aid factors when writing a free content.
The good news is you don't have to create all these other aid factors yourself. Just write your free content, get the idea and do a Google search to find free videos, podcasts, audios, pictures, infographics relating to your free content.
How to structure a free conetnt?
The structure of a content usually starts with an intro. In the intro section, you are allowed to give either a short description to the subject matter, a little story, joke or quote that might not necessarily relate to the subject matter. Then you want to dive straight into the subject matter.
Your free content is not one of your physics classes, so you want to stop every now and then within the subject matter for a little joke, quote or a short story. You have to keep it simple, avoid the use of highly technical terms if you must use them, try and stop and explain what they mean.
Don't be afraid when writing free content online, this is not one of your English composition exams. You know where your English teacher is checking if you have 3 paragraphs, correct grammar and if all the punctuation marks are placed correctly. Online readers want to get what they came for and leave. The only thing they demand from you is correct spelling.
How to develop multiple subheadings from one single subheading and how to develop multiple content ideas from one singe content?
You have already develop your pillar subheading how to motivate yourself and read the Bible. Start writing content on this subheading. While writing you are going to find out other subheading ideas will come out. Stop every now and then with new subheading ideas and write them on a piece of paper.
Likewise while writing your first content you can come up with different content ideas from that one single content alone. Repeat this process over and over again and you will have no trouble writing multiple contents. This process is known as content in content.
How to edit a free content?
Read through your content to see where you explain things too much. That is known as bluffing. Try to reduce it a little bit. Also, put an eye on where you left it with little or no explanation at all. That is like a skeleton, try to add a little flesh to it.
User expectations.
When writing free content, what should be at the back of your mind is what your users might expect to find in your content. So you want to think about how to motivate and encourage someone having problems reading the Bible. You can add aid factors like directing them to Bible devotions where scriptures are breaken down one by one to ease reading and understanding. Children Bible storybooks are also a good start to someone that lacks the motivation to read the Bible.
The approach to a free profitable niche idea.
Normally all searches online will fall under one of these categories, food, relationships, health, pets, religion, work, money... So your approach to a free profitable niche idea should definitely fall under one of these categories. Since everyone if there your only chance of standing out online is to go unique.
How to write a unique content?
Don't be afraid to add your philosophy when trying to write free content online. For example, I find out everyone is busy telling people profitable niche ideas but no one is teaching them how to write free content. You want to keep your free content from racial, cultural, religious, gender and age diffrences.
Free contents online are available for the whole world to see. When writing free content online, you are going in for everybody no matter their country of origin, culture, religion, gender, and age.
What is a laser targeted content?
A laser targeted content is a content written on one specific topic.
How to write laser targeted content?
Your only chance to get your free content to be found and stand out, out there is to choose one topic and bombard it with an everlasting flow of free content. Say if you start with how to motivate yourself to read the Bible, you need to stay on that one topic.
Guide when writing free content online.
You need to know your free content is trying to deliver directions, discipline, and principles to its users. So make sure they are well guarded when reading your free content. Give them life examples of you, someone that motivated, inspired and encouraged you and even someone you have been able to motivate to start reading the Bible.
How to abstract free profitable niche ideas?
Some times when writing free content surrounding a free profitable niche idea, you might run out of ideas and feel stocked. What you can do is check others already writing free content surrounding that particular free profitable niche idea. Then you want to read through their free content to get even more ideas. You can also watch free videos on youtube and read Wikipedia pages about your free profitable niche idea.
How to be creative in a profitable niche idea?
Creativity is doing what everyone is doing in your own way, style, and fashion. So it is good to spy on everyone already writing free content surrounding that particular free profitable niche idea and see what they are missing on. Then you want to go ahead and write free content on this particular niche idea in your own way, style and fashion adding all the stuffs like videos, audios, pictures, infographics, podcasts.
Every human also has times they are most creative. For me I am must creative when walking in the bush alone. You need to find your creative times since that is when you bring out great ideas.
How to produce a free content online?
Production is just like construction but this time you are seeing your free content as a product and you are the producer. So if you are producing a product to be sent out to the market, how would you like it to look like, taste like, in what package will you like it to be in, quality and quantity of the product and you will even have to decide on the price.
Normally when producing free content online, it is not about the quantity but it's all about the quality. One great free content can bring you all the attention you deserve for your free content.
Free website hosting to place your free content.
Normally you don't need to pay anyone to build you a website or pay domain fees. All you have to do is head over to blogger.com and wordpress.com and create a free blog. These 2 free blogger platforms give you the opportunity to edit HTML codes, CSS codes, add widgets, plugins and even upload second party templates.
So most of you already know social media sites like facebook, twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, youtube are also all free. All you have to do is create a profile on these sites and then you are good to go to start sharing your free content.
How to design your blog.
For those of you that did Biology in school you know, it is always advisable to have two experiments. Experiment A is usually the test experiment and experiment B which is the final experiment.
So if you didn't do Biology in school then you don't have to get afraid since we are not here in a Biology class but we are here to teach you how to design your blog.
When you just drop on blogger.com or wordpress.com, they have a lot of widgets, you can access the HTML and CSS codes at any time and second party templates look very attractive. So you will be tempted to add all the widgets that attract your attention, play around with HTML and css codes and even download all the second party templates online.
Doing all that will slow down your free blog and might even affect the overall performance since tempering with html and CSS codes might be dangerous if you don't have good knowledge with changing HTML and CSS codes. And most of the free blogger templates online are poorly coded that might affect the overall performance of your free blog.
So what you want to do is create 2 blogs. You can name it blog A and blog B. In Blog A you can be trying how to correctly edit HTML and CSS codes since you will need this basic knowledge in adding essential codes like google analytic, plugins and social media share buttons. In Blog B you want to leave it as blogger or WordPress gave it to you.
You also have to pay some attention to the color of your free blog. Don't have a black background and you are writing in black. That will make your free blog unattractive. I know you are thinking of entertaining visitors to your free blog so you want to go about adding all the games, slide share photos widgets. That will slow down the load time of your free blog.
It is said it takes an average visitor 4s to get attracted to your free blog. You definitely want to make that time count by reducing the load time of your free blog. Tools like google speed test can be of great use to help you reduce the load time of your free blog and fix any issues affecting the load time of your free blog.
How to get free internet traffic to your newly created free blog?
Normally this is a very broad topic when it comes to digital marketing and free legitimate ways to make money online.

So you have written your first pillar content following all the roles listed above. You have been able to design an attractive blog. Of what good is your blog to you with no readers? Here comes phase two to sharing free content to make some extra money and even a living online. The process of getting people to your newly created blog is known as internet traffic.
What is internet traffic?
Unlike road traffic that we all hate, bloggers and website owners love internet traffic. Internet traffic is the number of people that stumble on a particular piece of content or a blog from outward sources like search engines, social media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest Linkedin, Reddit..., different websites and blogs...
There are 2 types of internet traffic known as paid and free internet traffic.
What is paid internet traffic?
Paid internet traffic is the process by which bloggers and website owners get internet traffic from paid sources like Google Adwords, Facebook ads, buy followers on Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest Youtube views... buy internet traffic from other bloggers and website owners.
What is free internet traffic?
Free internet traffic is the process by which bloggers and website owners get free internet traffic from sources like search engines using a technique known as SEO (search engine optimization), social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Reddit, Linkedin known as social media marketing, post videos on youtube and others known as video marketing, answer questions and threads on Q & A sites and forums respectively.
Free ways to get free internet traffic.
Since most of you will like but free ways to get free internet traffic then lets dive into some free ways to get free internet traffic.
SEO (search engine optimization).
This is the process of getting free internet traffic from search engines. This is a very huge topic when it comes to getting free internet traffic from search engines. There are many online companies and even private individuals that are willing to do SEO for your newly created blog after you pay them a fee.
The good news is SEO is not complicated and you can do it for yourself if you know what it takes search engines to start sending people to a particular piece of content.
Search engines use an algorithm update known as E.A.T. That is if they find people spending more time on a particular piece of content then they know consumers are getting what an economist will called consumer satisfaction and they will want this piece of content to be found on their front page for their consumers to consume.
Components of SEO.
Basically, 2 components are involved when it comes to talking about SEO. These 2 components are backlinks and keyword research.
What are backlinks?
Backlinks are links from other sites pointing back to your site. Basically, if your link is found on another site you get a backlink. There are 2 types of backlinks known as no follow and do follow backlinks.
What are no-follow backlinks?
If you place your link on a site with the no follow attribute on their html code you get a backlink but this site doesn't follow that backlink this is known as a no follow backlink. A good example of sites with the no-follow attribute on their html code is Facebook and Wikipedia.
What are do-follow backlinks?
If you place your link on a site with a do follow attribute on their html code, you get a backlink and this site follows back that backlink this is known as a do follow backlink. Examples of do-follow backlinks are blogger.com, wordpress.com, youtube.com, linkedin.com...
How to get backlinks?
Normally you get a backlink to all your social media sites by placing a link to the website section of your social media sites. You can also get a backlink through commenting. When commenting on other sites, they will offer you a section to place a link back to your blog. Some are no follow while others are do follow.
What is the importance of backlinks?
Normally search engines will rank a site from a scale from 0 - 10 based on the number of other sites linking to this particular site. This process is known as the page rank of a site (pr). Normally search engines pay close attention to the pr of the sites linking to another site before they can decide where to rank this site. That is why most people will advise you to create backlinks on sites with high pr.
How to get your newly created blog indexed fast by search engines?
Normally to get your newly created blog noticed by search engines you will have to create some high authoritative backlinks. Start by placing a link to your newly created blog on all your social media profiles. Then you want to leave a comment to all the blogs when doing research on your niche with a link back to your site. If you do this process correctly you might just land your newly created blog a pr 2 on search engines.
Backlinks vs content.
Of what good is a blog with a pr 5 with poorly written content? Normally search engines give preference to the amount of time people spend reading a particular piece of content. So if search engines find out people are spending a lot of time reading a particular piece of content on a blog, they will rise this piece of content to the top.
Don't stay there creating tones of backlinks or even buying them and yet your content sucks. You might just find a post on a blog with pr 1 found on the front page of search engines while your blog has a pr 5.
How to get your free content found on the front page of search engines?
Normally the only way to get free internet traffic from search engines is to get your content on their front page. Like backlinks, content is not about the quantity but it's all about the quality. One great content offering all the values to users can bring you all the free internet traffic you need for your newly created blog.
So take your time on your pillar content to make it worth the read and seat back and watch the magic happen. Furthermore, if readers find your free content interesting, well structured and added some amount of value to their lives then they will help you spread the good news to the ends of the world. That will still help to boost your search engine rankings.
How to write free content that bring free internet traffic.
Don't write 100 free content about your topic with 500 words. Write one. Do a lot of research to produce one great content. This is called pillar content. A great content length should be in between 3000 - 5000 words. Even try 10.000 words content and watch the magic happen. Try and keep it interesting and laser targeted though.
The second component of SEO is known as keyword research.
You will need to have a good amount of search phrases on your pillar content. So if someone is searching for natural beauty tips on search engines, then your blog should be listed in the 1st 10 results on search engines with the keyword natural beauty tips.
What are keywords?
Keywords are search phrases people type on search engines to get to a particular piece of information. For example, you want to know how to write free content then you head over to search engines and type how to write free content. How to write free content is known as a keyword.
Basically there are 2 types of keywords known as long and short tail keywords.
What are long tail keywords?
Examples of long tail keywords include how to write free content, how to find a prfitable niche idea, how to get free internet traffic, free ways to make money online, free legitimate online jobs.
What are short tail keywords?
Examples of short tail keywords include content ideas, niche ideas, internet traffic, online jobs, make money online.
How to do keyword research?
The most popular way to do free keyword research is to head over to google keyword plannar and type a phrase say free ways to make money online and it will show you all the keyword variations related to that single key phrase alone.
There is also a website section where you can copy web pages and insert them in this section and it will show you all the keyword phrases related to that particular web page. So most people will advise you to copy Wikipedia pages, blog post and affiliate landing pages related to your niche and insert it in google keyword plannar website section to get all the keywords variations related to that particular niche.
Keyword research vs topic.
To gain all the free internet traffic you need to your newly created blog, that thing is to choose a topic and do a lot of research on this particular topic and come out with one great free content. Say if you do keyword research on free ways to make money online you might choose 100 keywords on google keyword plannar and write low-quality content surounding these keywords that will do you no good.
Choose a topic you really like a lot. Do some research on this topic. Take your time and write a thorough free content surrounding this topic. Some people will even go as far as teaching you where to place these keywords in your blog post and even in bold interlicks. But all that will just end up limiting you to write interesting and well detailed content.
These days even paid keyword research tools exist. Please don't buy them. Some will even try to grab your attention by telling you how to find buyer keywords. Don't fall in for that. Choose a topic.
Video Marketing.
This is another good way to get free internet traffic. And it is free too. All you have to do is create videos related to your free profitable niche idea and then you can upload it to youtube which is the second largest search engine online.
Normally it is said a good youtube video should be atmost 5 minutes. But do you know how much we like giving out when it comes to producing a video? We like to make it feel like a little movie. You know you want to stop and call your mom like Brain Dean does?
Don't be afraid to make your videos 30 minutes and even 1 hour. Normally research has shown people love learning by watching a video rather than writing a lengthy piece of article. So stay there and give it all in your videos.
To help your videos being found you want to use the tag section on youtube correctly. Add preferably long tail keywords as to short tail ones. So instead of saying money online, you want to go in for keywords like free ways to make money online.
You want to also leverage the description section on youtube. Take your time and write a well-detailed description of your video. This might just end up landing you some search traffic. Also, try to encourage people to leave a comment on your videos before they leave since this will help boost your video rankings.
Email marketing.
This is another good source of free internet traffic exploided by many bloggers. Normally this method of getting free internet traffic is recommended by many bloggers. In fact blogger guru Neil Patel calls email marketing a most do for all bloggers. That's for a good reason since every time you write a new post it falls directly into the inbox of your email subscribers.
What is email marketing?
Email marketing is the act of collecting the emails of your readers by offering them the option to subscripe to your newsletters.
How to get email subscribers?
Normally you have very little influence on user engagement. Like, you can't force them to share and comment on your content and to subscribe to your email list. But a good call to action can help the process of users sharing and commenting on your content and even subscribing to your mailing list.
Don't be afraid to ask users directly to share or leave a comment on your content and subscribe to your mailing list. Some good call to action I can think of are don't you think your friends might also want to see this free content, why don't you share it on all your social media network, I don't need your money all I ask is that you share this great content to all your social media networks.
If you have any questions you can leave it in the comment section below. Any suggestions for this post will be highly appreciated in the comment section below. I promise to add to this post to anyone that has more free ways to get free internet traffic. Just leave a comment in the comment section below.
If you need more of this why don't you just subscribe? Give me your email and I promise to deliver the best content right into your inbox.
Try and make sure your email subscription form is visible for everyone to see. Preferably, put your email subscription form at the top of your blog. You can even put one at the bottom of your blog. Don't bury it at the footers of your blog. This is a very important expect of your success as a blogger.
Some bloggers even give out free ebooks, go in for email subscription contests like promising to give the winner to their email subscription a 50$ Amazon gift card. So what they do is tell people to subcribe to their newsletters and they will pick a random winner and the random winner gets the 50$ Amazon gift card.
Email marketing vs content.
Email marketing is a great aspect of getting free internet traffic that you need to exploid to the best of your ability. Whether you want to go in for call to action, write free ebooks, organize an email subscription contest to get people to subscripe to your newsletters, the truth still stays if your free content sucks no one will like to return for more.
The trick and technique stay constant focus on writing great content and people will willingly give you their email to get your content in their inbox. Don't stay there doing research to build an email list when you don't yet know how to produce a great content.
I will strongly advise you read this content over and over again until you see what it takes to write great content surrounding a particular profitable niche idea. Leave comments in the comment section below if you have any questions or concerns and even a new idea will do me a lot of good.
I will really appreciate it if you can share this piece of content on all of your social media networks and subscripe to my email subscription list found right at the top of this blog with the title Join A World Of Gamers. I have more in store for all my email subscribers
Forum Posting.
Forums are also a good source to get some quality targeted free internet traffic.
What are forums?
Forums are online communities gathering people to ask and discuss about a particular topic.
What do people do on forums?
Normally people come on forums to post questions known as threads and they need an answer to their threads.
How to get free internet traffic from forums?
Normally you need to find a forum that has gathered people to post threads and talk about a topic in your niche. You can do a google search on that. Then you want to head over to these forums and follow through the threads and see the ones you can answer to the best of your knowledge.
Don't go in for the yes or no answer. For instance if you find a thread on a forum that says are there free ways to make money online? Don't say yes or even yes there are free ways to make money online.
What you want to do is teach this particular person what it takes to start making money online. Make your answers to forums 1.000 words why not the idle blog post length of 3.000 - 5.000 words and even 10.000 words. remember your answers are available for the public to see.

We analyzed 912 million blog posts to better understand the world of content marketing right now.
Specifically, we looked at how factors like content format, word count and headlines correlate with social media shares and backlinks.
With the help of our data partner BuzzSumo, we uncovered some very interesting findings.
And now it’s time to share what we discovered.
Here is a Summary of Our Key Findings:
1. Long-form content gets an average of 77.2% more links than short articles. Therefore, long-form content appears to be ideal for backlink acquisition.
2. When it comes to social shares, longer content outperforms short blog posts. However, we found diminishing returns for articles that exceed 2,000 words.
3. The vast majority of online content gets few social shares and backlinks. In fact, 94% of all blog posts have zero external links.
4. A small percentage of “Power Posts” get a disproportionate amount of social shares. Specifically, 1.3% of articles generate 75% of all social shares.
5. We found virtually no correlation between backlinks and social shares. This suggests that there’s little crossover between highly-shareable content and content that people link to.
6. Longer headlines are correlated with more social shares. Headlines that are 14-17 words in length generate 76.7% more social shares than short headlines.
7. Question headlines (titles that end with a “?”) get 23.3% more social shares than headlines that don’t end with a question mark.
8. There’s no “best day” to publish a new piece of content. Social shares are distributed evenly among posts published on different days of the week.
9. Lists posts are heavily shared on social media. In fact, list posts get an average of 218% more shares than “how to” posts and 203% more shares than infographics.
10. Certain content formats appear to work best for acquiring backlinks. We found that “Why Posts”, “What Posts” and infographics received 25.8% more links compared to videos and “How-to” posts.
11. The average blog post gets 9.7x more shares than a post published on a B2B site. However, the distribution of shares and links for B2B and B2C publishers appears to be similar.
How to leverage content marketing.
Take you time and read the above data over and over again to know what types of content get shared and bring backlinks.
Content marketing vs content.
To get all the attention a content needs to go viral online, you can not do it alone. You will need to take a lot of time to write epic content that will leave people with no choice but to share, create a link and comment on your content.
What is a viral content?
A viral content is a content that has been shared multiple times, has thousands of comments and thousands of people have linked to this particular content.
How to write a viral content?
Basically what you need to do when thinking of a content you want to go viral is think of an epic content. This is a type of content you do a lot of research to get all your facts straightened up. Then you want to write well-detailed content addressing a particular topic aiding aid factors like pictures, videos, audios, podcasts, infographics and even resources for further studies.
This is a type of content you want to meet up with all the learning types. Some people learn better and find it easy lerning by reading plain text, some by watching videos or listening to audios and yet others by analyzing complicated graphs like infographics in the case of collecting information online.
What you also need to do on your part is to find out how you can present information to the best of your ability. Some people are good writers, some can produce great videos, audios, and podcasts and yet others can bring out information in graphs like infographics. Then you can get the rest done by collecting what others have already done in your niche.
For example, if you are a great writer then you can head over to youtube and find all the free videos and audios related to your niche. Pinterest has great pictures, just do a Google search on free infographic sites and you will find a good number of them.

Guest Posting.
Guest posting still remain the fastest, safest free ways to get free internet traffic.
What is Guest posting?
Guest posting is the art of finding blogs writing free content in your niche and present them with your own free content. So what you have to do is find blogs preferably blogs with already some good number of traffic. And send them an email with your guest post request. Some blogs do have a guest post of submitting posts section.
To ease your finding of blogs that accept guest posts, do a google search on your niche and make a list of all the blogs in your niche and use these search queries on Google.
site:domain.com “submit a guest post”
site:domain.com “guest post by”
site:domain.com “contribute an article”
site:domain.com “want to write”
site:domain.com “submit your post”
site:domain.com “become a contributor”
site:domain.com “accepting guest posts”
The problem with guest posting is that some blog owners place too many hard guidelines on what type of guest post they will accept and many of them never end up accepting guest posts from guest authors on their blogs.
How to find blogs that accept guest post.
All you need to do is google “list of blogs that accept guest posts”, as well as “list of - your keyword - blogs that accept guest posts”.
One of the easiest and most straightforward ways to search for guest blogging websites is to google your search terms.
There are a variety of search terms you can try to help you find numerous websites; basically, you need to start the search with your keywords; for example, if you were looking for marketing blog that accept guest posts, then you’d try various combinations of keywords relate to marketing, such as: marketing, “digital marketing”, “online marketing”, “internet marketing”, “social media marketing”, “content marketing” and so on.
Then, search for these keywords + one of the following search terms:
+ “guest blog”/”guest post”
+ “write for us”
+ “submit an article”/”submit a guest post”
+ “contribute guest post”
+ “contribute to our blog”
+ “become a guest blogger”
+ “guest blogging guidelines”
+ “contributor guidelines”
+ “send a tip”
+ “guest post by”
+ “guest author”
Another way to find relevant guest posting websites is to look at your competitors and to find out where they guest posted before and what high-quality websites they’ve written for.
There are a couple of ways to go about this.
One of the easiest ways is to identify bloggers in the same niche as you who are already guest blogging a lot. You’ll start to notice this when you follow popular blogs in your niche and certain names start popping up again and again but you can also search to see who guest blogged on some of the popular websites in your niche and then look them up to see if that is indeed a strategy they use very often.
You can search for this by using these search queries:
Site:domain.com “guest post by”
Site:domain.com “a guest contribution by”
Once you have a list of names ready, you can then use a backlink tool to see what other backlinks they have – not all of them will be guest blogs, but if you found someone who guest blogs a lot, you’re very likely to find quite a few gems in those lists.
Find their main website (the one their linking to in their guest post and/or their guest post author bio) then use a backlink checker like Monitor Backlinks. Then, simply go through their list of backlinks to find those where they actually guest blogged.
Another method for finding guest posting opportunities is to leverage various tools to help with your research; for example:
Content research tools
Social listening tools
Audience overlap tools
In the case of content research tools, you can use tools like Buzzsumo to look up guest blogs; simply look up your topic keywords + “guest post” or “guest post by”. This will help you find relevant blogs that clearly accept guest posts; the best part is, some of them might not even have a “write for us” page, but as you did find a guest post on their blog, it’s worth reaching out to ask them just in case.
As for social listening tools, some allow you to search the entire web (blogs, social media, forums, news sites, and other content sources) while others focus solely on monitoring social media – both options can yield great results.
For example, you can use social listening tools just like you would on Google; that said, each social listening tool has its own way of doing things and of setting up monitoring searches (some offer, for example, Boolean search which allows you to dig much deeper than a simple keyword search, as it allows you to add different modifiers to your search).
Another handy tool for looking up potential guest posting sites is with a tool that can help you find websites that share an audience or that are very similar between them (you’ll need a website that will be your starting point); for example, Amazon’s Alexa (not the virtual assistant, but rather the marketing software) has 2 different tools that can help with this: Find Similar Sites, for finding websites similar to yours and the Audience Overlap tool which helps you find websites that share an audience.
Although none of these tools were specifically built for this purpose (for finding guest blogging opportunities), they can prove to be very useful to your search.
How to leverage guest posting to get free internet traffic?
Normally the power of guest posting to drive massive free internet traffic to your newly created blog can't be ignored. So here is what you want to do to increase your chances of your free content being featured on a blog that already has internet traffic.
You want to take your time and study a few blogs you are planning to guest post on. Read through their blog posts and get a taste of the style and feel of the contents. Then you want to also read through their comment section and see what readers are saying about contents on these blogs.
Then you want to take your time and write a thorough and well-detailed content and approach these blog owners. The truth is most blog owners always need fresh ideas to help grow their audience especially if you are not asking for money. Write contents that a blog owner can't say no.
What these blog owners will do for you to pay you back for your hard work is to give you a resource box where you can write a short Bio and a link back to your own blog. Some will give you 2 links one back to your blog and one to a social media profile.
The problem is the resource box is usually buried at the bottom of the post that might get very little attention and in effect reduce click through rate back to your blog. So what you want to do to maximize click through rate is add a resource within the body of the guest post directing people back to your own blog.
Social media marketing.
When was the last time you saw a photo of a star getting 2.000.000 likes, 100.000 shares and 500.000 comments on facebook, 200.000 retweets on twitter, 500.000 repins on pinterest, 1.0000.000 likes on instagram 50.000.000 views, 250.000 comments on youtube? In fact, Jennifer Aniston went into Guinness book of records on the fastest-growing instagram account.
So people go on social media to chat with friends, make new friends and keep up with the latest gups and gips about their favorite stars. Nobody is ready for your 3.000 - 5.000 and even 10.000 words blog post on social media.
Giant social media platforms like facebook put an eye on the amount of likes, shares and comments a post is getting. So your boring content to teach people free ways to make money online will do you no good on social media platforms.
But if you insist that you love social media platforms, then you have to join in the fun. Like pages of talk of the day stars on Facebook, join their groups, follow them on Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest. Comment on their posts. By so doing you can get fellow fans to friend you on Facebook, follow you on Twitter, Pinterest, instagram... Then you can insert a link on your profile on these most popular social media platforms. You definitely have some favorite stars or don't you?
Article marketing.
This is yet another good way of getting free internet traffic ignored by many these days. Due to the fact that most articles don't show up on search engine results.
The roles of article marketing are simple. Write short non promotional articles of not less than 450 words and post it on article directories. The good news about article marketing is that website owners looking for free-contents turn to these article directories to get content for their newly created website.
Article directories offer their users with a resource box and a link back to their blog or website. So if newly website owners find your article interesting, they might just want to know you in person and even recommend you for further writing of their free content.
So if you are someone that likes writing then you don't want to leave this source of getting free internet traffic untapped. But do your self a favor if you find writing boring and tiring by leaving this section.
A good article directory you can head over and start posting your articles for free today is ezine. But be warned they have got smart. They will reject articles with poor grammar and punctuation not to talk of spelling errors.
So when you are writing articles on ezine then know you are in an English exam room. They don't use bots to edit their articles but humans. So if you don't want to feel discouraged seeing your articles being rejected over and over again due to slide grammatic errors and incorrect placement of punctuation marks, then I will strongly advice you leave article marketing alone.
Blog Directories.
No one talks about this method of getting free internet traffic these days. There are thousands of sites online that will list your blog on their site for free. But most of them take forever before your blog can be found on their site. Some will never place your blog on their site. Some people go for it these days just for the backlink. If you don't have that time to waste creating free backlinks then leave it and concentrate instead creating great free content.
Free internet traffic vs paid internet traffic.
There are many ways to get paid internet traffic like google adwords, Facebook ads or you can head over to fiverr and buy internet traffic for 5 bucks. But of what good is it spending your money and yet your free content sucks.
Yes if you pay for google adwords, facebook ads or buy a gig on Fiverr you might end up getting some traffic. But what do you do after spending all your hard earned money and everyone just ends up bouncing out of your blog? Don't buy any internet traffic, concentrate on writing great free content.
How to monitize your free content.
This is the part all of you have been waiting. Free ways to make money online from your free content after spending so much time doing research and the hard work you put in to see your first pillar content go live online.
But you want to take care when it comes to making money from your free content. Most people as soon as they start seeing 20 people on their blog they start bombarding it with ads, pop-ups, pop-unders. That will not just reduce the load time of your blog but can drive your readers since they will think you just want their money.
Blogging to make some extra money and even a living online is all about gathering an audience. People are feed up these days with all the scams and lies on the internet so much so that if they sense a little fishy thing on a blog, they will leave as fast as they came.
So what you want to do is take some time and make them feel like they are in the right place. Reply to their comments, answer their questions if they email you.
The best way to monitize your free content is by selling free internet traffic and go in for a paid subscription. These days there are millions of local website owners cropting in from left to right online that are willing to buy internet traffic and go in for paid subscriptions to learn what to do with their local bussinesses online.
But you can start going in for selling internet traffic only after you have a good one yourself.
How much traffic do I need before I can start selling Internet traffic.
The last time I did research on someone selling internet traffic he had 100.000+ monthly visitors. 400.000+ youtube subscribers, 170.000+ Facebook fans, 200.000+ twitter followers, 75.000+ pinterest followers, 120.000+ instagram followers.
So if you are not yet to that number then you want to start thinking about affiliate marketing and even possible google adsense.
What is affiliate marketing?
Affiliate marketing is the art of collecting products from an affiliate site and selling them as an affiliate to earn a commission. The best affiliate site online is clickbank. It pays good commision ranging from 50 - even 80% of the total sales price.
What is a commision?
If I am an affiliate and sell a product say the product price is 20$ and I have a commission rate of 50%. So after selling that product, I get 10$. That money is known as my comminion. And in this case, the product owner is known as the vendor and I the affiliate.
So all you have to do is head over to clickbank.com and create a free account. And they will be busy teaching you how to get all your commissions and you will have to learn how to make the sales.
How do you make sales as an affiliate?
What you want to do is choose a product related to your free profitable niche ideas on ClickBank. Don't just place these products on your blog. That will reduce the click through rate and eventually reduce sales. What you want to do is write reviews about these products following the roles of a thorough and well-detailed content of 3.000 - 5.000 and even 10.000 words and place them on your blog. Then you can insert links throughout this content directing people to your affiliate product.
Most vendors on ClickBank have an affiliate resource website where they provide their affiliates with banner ads, articles, videos, keywords. Move over to these resource sites and you can just copy their banners since most of them take the time to design great banners in all sizes. Don't copy their articles and keywords though since that is available to the general public. Write your own free content addressing this particular product.
Amazon and eBay also have an affiliate program. If you feel more comfortable with these giant online markets since they are most popular. But they offer very low commisions of 20 and 50% at most. Don't go in for cars just yet. Choose cheap digitable products people are likely to buy online like books.

Basically, to find a free profitable niche idea, you need to find out what you already know. Start with your natural beauty tips, personal psychology and mentality tips, home gardening and cooking tips, school tips to get good notes even your religion can make a good profitable niche idea.
Then you want to start writing free unlimited content surrounding this particular niche idea.
What is a free content?
In its simplest form, a free content is a topic in writing, social media posts, infographics, podcast video and audio.
How to write free content?
First you need to choose a category you are comfortable writing about say religion. Then you want to break it down into a subject say Christianity. Then from a subject to a topic say Bible. Then you want to break down your topic into as many subheadings as possible. A good subheading could be how to motivate yourself to read the Bible.
What you will need when targeting a particular free profitable niche idea is to write one pillar content.
What is a pillar content?
A pillar content is a well structured and fully detailed content.
How to write a pillar content?
A great pillar content usually starts right from a great title. Say you have picked up a niche to motivate people that need motivation reading the Bible. Avoid titles like Bible Lessons For Dummies, Bible Lessons For Beginners. Instead, go in for titles like The Complete Guide To Reading The Bible, Bible Stories To Help You Better Understand The Bible.
You want to make your readers feel special. Most of your readers will be beginner Christians though and even old Christians that either lack motivation to read the Bible or find the Bible hard to read, uninteresting and even boring.
So when writing your pillar content try and make it simple and understandable even to someone that has never seen the Bible before. The Bible is filled with stories of regular people like you and I. Choose some great Bible stories and explain them to your readers. That will help stop them from finding the Bible as an uninteresting and boring book and can also appeal to beginner Christians.
Even the teachings of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ found in Mathew, Mark, Luke and John can be of great help to Bible reading beginners and Christians that lack the motivation to read the Bible.
So your pillar content is a complete and thorough explanation of your free profitable niche idea. You want to break down your pillar content into sections explaining every section in detail. You can tap inspiration from this pillar content that you are reading right now.
To make your pillar content stand out online, you need to do a lot of research. There are many Christian online forums, Q & A sites like Quora, Yahoo answer. Head over there and find out the questions Christians are already asking to help them better understand the faith.
There are also a lot of online churches and even private individuals writing Christian devotions online. You can do a Google search to find a good number of them. Read through their work to better your knowledge. Who knows you might just end up learning something new yourself that will be helpful to your readers.
Reading books from great preachers can also help widen your knowledge of the Christian faith that will be of great help to your readers. If you are such a devoted Christian then you must have some preachers that inspire and encourage you in the faith. You can even watch their sermons for free on youtube. Follow them on Facebook and Twitter to always keep up when they post inspirational and encouraging quotes.
If you do research on your pillar content carefully, this should take you no less than 3 months with some hard work on your part
Aid factors to writing a free content.
To start writing free contents you will first need a map. In your map you can have things like structure, user expectations, approach, guide, editing, construction, abstracting free content ideas, development, creativity, table of content, laser targeted content, production.
How to write a table of content?
First, you will need definitions, then how to's and then sections. Sections are basically parts within the free content covering different aspects as users might demand. For example, someone that has problems reading the Bible might also need to know the benefits of reading the Bible.
How to construct a free content idea?
It's just like constructing say a car. You know you need some raw materials, design, technical know-how, decorations, add ons.
What are the raw materials of a free content?
Say you want to write free content on Christianity, your raw material is the Bible.
How to design a free content?
In the case of a car some like big cars while others small cars. Some like it fast while others not so fast. Some like a black, red, white... car. With a free content some like it short direct to the point while others like it long defining every word, some like elaborations like with videos, audios, podcasts, pictures, infographics and some can handle the plain text. So you might want to add a few if not all of these other aid factors when writing a free content.
The good news is you don't have to create all these other aid factors yourself. Just write your free content, get the idea and do a Google search to find free videos, podcasts, audios, pictures, infographics relating to your free content.
How to structure a free conetnt?
The structure of a content usually starts with an intro. In the intro section, you are allowed to give either a short description to the subject matter, a little story, joke or quote that might not necessarily relate to the subject matter. Then you want to dive straight into the subject matter.
Your free content is not one of your physics classes, so you want to stop every now and then within the subject matter for a little joke, quote or a short story. You have to keep it simple, avoid the use of highly technical terms if you must use them, try and stop and explain what they mean.
Don't be afraid when writing free content online, this is not one of your English composition exams. You know where your English teacher is checking if you have 3 paragraphs, correct grammar and if all the punctuation marks are placed correctly. Online readers want to get what they came for and leave. The only thing they demand from you is correct spelling.
How to develop multiple subheadings from one single subheading and how to develop multiple content ideas from one singe content?
You have already develop your pillar subheading how to motivate yourself and read the Bible. Start writing content on this subheading. While writing you are going to find out other subheading ideas will come out. Stop every now and then with new subheading ideas and write them on a piece of paper.
Likewise while writing your first content you can come up with different content ideas from that one single content alone. Repeat this process over and over again and you will have no trouble writing multiple contents. This process is known as content in content.
How to edit a free content?
Read through your content to see where you explain things too much. That is known as bluffing. Try to reduce it a little bit. Also, put an eye on where you left it with little or no explanation at all. That is like a skeleton, try to add a little flesh to it.
User expectations.
When writing free content, what should be at the back of your mind is what your users might expect to find in your content. So you want to think about how to motivate and encourage someone having problems reading the Bible. You can add aid factors like directing them to Bible devotions where scriptures are breaken down one by one to ease reading and understanding. Children Bible storybooks are also a good start to someone that lacks the motivation to read the Bible.
The approach to a free profitable niche idea.
Normally all searches online will fall under one of these categories, food, relationships, health, pets, religion, work, money... So your approach to a free profitable niche idea should definitely fall under one of these categories. Since everyone if there your only chance of standing out online is to go unique.
How to write a unique content?
Don't be afraid to add your philosophy when trying to write free content online. For example, I find out everyone is busy telling people profitable niche ideas but no one is teaching them how to write free content. You want to keep your free content from racial, cultural, religious, gender and age diffrences.
Free contents online are available for the whole world to see. When writing free content online, you are going in for everybody no matter their country of origin, culture, religion, gender, and age.
What is a laser targeted content?
A laser targeted content is a content written on one specific topic.
How to write laser targeted content?
Your only chance to get your free content to be found and stand out, out there is to choose one topic and bombard it with an everlasting flow of free content. Say if you start with how to motivate yourself to read the Bible, you need to stay on that one topic.
Guide when writing free content online.
You need to know your free content is trying to deliver directions, discipline, and principles to its users. So make sure they are well guarded when reading your free content. Give them life examples of you, someone that motivated, inspired and encouraged you and even someone you have been able to motivate to start reading the Bible.
How to abstract free profitable niche ideas?
Some times when writing free content surrounding a free profitable niche idea, you might run out of ideas and feel stocked. What you can do is check others already writing free content surrounding that particular free profitable niche idea. Then you want to read through their free content to get even more ideas. You can also watch free videos on youtube and read Wikipedia pages about your free profitable niche idea.
How to be creative in a profitable niche idea?
Creativity is doing what everyone is doing in your own way, style, and fashion. So it is good to spy on everyone already writing free content surrounding that particular free profitable niche idea and see what they are missing on. Then you want to go ahead and write free content on this particular niche idea in your own way, style and fashion adding all the stuffs like videos, audios, pictures, infographics, podcasts.
Every human also has times they are most creative. For me I am must creative when walking in the bush alone. You need to find your creative times since that is when you bring out great ideas.
How to produce a free content online?
Production is just like construction but this time you are seeing your free content as a product and you are the producer. So if you are producing a product to be sent out to the market, how would you like it to look like, taste like, in what package will you like it to be in, quality and quantity of the product and you will even have to decide on the price.
Normally when producing free content online, it is not about the quantity but it's all about the quality. One great free content can bring you all the attention you deserve for your free content.
Free website hosting to place your free content.
Normally you don't need to pay anyone to build you a website or pay domain fees. All you have to do is head over to blogger.com and wordpress.com and create a free blog. These 2 free blogger platforms give you the opportunity to edit HTML codes, CSS codes, add widgets, plugins and even upload second party templates.
So most of you already know social media sites like facebook, twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, youtube are also all free. All you have to do is create a profile on these sites and then you are good to go to start sharing your free content.
How to design your blog.
For those of you that did Biology in school you know, it is always advisable to have two experiments. Experiment A is usually the test experiment and experiment B which is the final experiment.
So if you didn't do Biology in school then you don't have to get afraid since we are not here in a Biology class but we are here to teach you how to design your blog.
When you just drop on blogger.com or wordpress.com, they have a lot of widgets, you can access the HTML and CSS codes at any time and second party templates look very attractive. So you will be tempted to add all the widgets that attract your attention, play around with HTML and css codes and even download all the second party templates online.
Doing all that will slow down your free blog and might even affect the overall performance since tempering with html and CSS codes might be dangerous if you don't have good knowledge with changing HTML and CSS codes. And most of the free blogger templates online are poorly coded that might affect the overall performance of your free blog.
So what you want to do is create 2 blogs. You can name it blog A and blog B. In Blog A you can be trying how to correctly edit HTML and CSS codes since you will need this basic knowledge in adding essential codes like google analytic, plugins and social media share buttons. In Blog B you want to leave it as blogger or WordPress gave it to you.
You also have to pay some attention to the color of your free blog. Don't have a black background and you are writing in black. That will make your free blog unattractive. I know you are thinking of entertaining visitors to your free blog so you want to go about adding all the games, slide share photos widgets. That will slow down the load time of your free blog.
It is said it takes an average visitor 4s to get attracted to your free blog. You definitely want to make that time count by reducing the load time of your free blog. Tools like google speed test can be of great use to help you reduce the load time of your free blog and fix any issues affecting the load time of your free blog.

There are many online companies and even private individuals that are willing to do SEO for your newly created blog after you pay them a fee.
The good news is SEO is not complicated and you can do it for yourself if you know what it takes search engines to start sending people to a particular piece of content.
Search engines use an algorithm update known as E.A.T. That is if they find people spending more time on a particular piece of content then they know consumers are getting what an economist will called consumer satisfaction and they will want this piece of content to be found on their front page for their consumers to consume.
Components of SEO.
Basically, 2 components are involved when it comes to talking about SEO. These 2 components are backlinks and keyword research.
What are backlinks?
Backlinks are links from other sites pointing back to your site. Basically, if your link is found on another site you get a backlink. There are 2 types of backlinks known as no follow and do follow backlinks.
What are no-follow backlinks?
If you place your link on a site with the no follow attribute on their html code you get a backlink but this site doesn't follow that backlink this is known as a no follow backlink. A good example of sites with the no-follow attribute on their html code is Facebook and Wikipedia.
What are do-follow backlinks?
If you place your link on a site with a do follow attribute on their html code, you get a backlink and this site follows back that backlink this is known as a do follow backlink. Examples of do-follow backlinks are blogger.com, wordpress.com, youtube.com, linkedin.com...
How to get backlinks?
Normally you get a backlink to all your social media sites by placing a link to the website section of your social media sites. You can also get a backlink through commenting. When commenting on other sites, they will offer you a section to place a link back to your blog. Some are no follow while others are do follow.
What is the importance of backlinks?
Normally search engines will rank a site from a scale from 0 - 10 based on the number of other sites linking to this particular site. This process is known as the page rank of a site (pr). Normally search engines pay close attention to the pr of the sites linking to another site before they can decide where to rank this site. That is why most people will advise you to create backlinks on sites with high pr.
How to get your newly created blog indexed fast by search engines?
Normally to get your newly created blog noticed by search engines you will have to create some high authoritative backlinks. Start by placing a link to your newly created blog on all your social media profiles. Then you want to leave a comment to all the blogs when doing research on your niche with a link back to your site. If you do this process correctly you might just land your newly created blog a pr 2 on search engines.
Backlinks vs content.
Of what good is a blog with a pr 5 with poorly written content? Normally search engines give preference to the amount of time people spend reading a particular piece of content. So if search engines find out people are spending a lot of time reading a particular piece of content on a blog, they will rise this piece of content to the top.
Don't stay there creating tones of backlinks or even buying them and yet your content sucks. You might just find a post on a blog with pr 1 found on the front page of search engines while your blog has a pr 5.
How to get your free content found on the front page of search engines?
Normally the only way to get free internet traffic from search engines is to get your content on their front page. Like backlinks, content is not about the quantity but it's all about the quality. One great content offering all the values to users can bring you all the free internet traffic you need for your newly created blog.
So take your time on your pillar content to make it worth the read and seat back and watch the magic happen. Furthermore, if readers find your free content interesting, well structured and added some amount of value to their lives then they will help you spread the good news to the ends of the world. That will still help to boost your search engine rankings.
How to write free content that bring free internet traffic.
Don't write 100 free content about your topic with 500 words. Write one. Do a lot of research to produce one great content. This is called pillar content. A great content length should be in between 3000 - 5000 words. Even try 10.000 words content and watch the magic happen. Try and keep it interesting and laser targeted though.
The second component of SEO is known as keyword research.
You will need to have a good amount of search phrases on your pillar content. So if someone is searching for natural beauty tips on search engines, then your blog should be listed in the 1st 10 results on search engines with the keyword natural beauty tips.
What are keywords?
Keywords are search phrases people type on search engines to get to a particular piece of information. For example, you want to know how to write free content then you head over to search engines and type how to write free content. How to write free content is known as a keyword.
Basically there are 2 types of keywords known as long and short tail keywords.
What are long tail keywords?
Examples of long tail keywords include how to write free content, how to find a prfitable niche idea, how to get free internet traffic, free ways to make money online, free legitimate online jobs.
What are short tail keywords?
Examples of short tail keywords include content ideas, niche ideas, internet traffic, online jobs, make money online.
How to do keyword research?
The most popular way to do free keyword research is to head over to google keyword plannar and type a phrase say free ways to make money online and it will show you all the keyword variations related to that single key phrase alone.
There is also a website section where you can copy web pages and insert them in this section and it will show you all the keyword phrases related to that particular web page. So most people will advise you to copy Wikipedia pages, blog post and affiliate landing pages related to your niche and insert it in google keyword plannar website section to get all the keywords variations related to that particular niche.
Keyword research vs topic.
To gain all the free internet traffic you need to your newly created blog, that thing is to choose a topic and do a lot of research on this particular topic and come out with one great free content. Say if you do keyword research on free ways to make money online you might choose 100 keywords on google keyword plannar and write low-quality content surounding these keywords that will do you no good.
Choose a topic you really like a lot. Do some research on this topic. Take your time and write a thorough free content surrounding this topic. Some people will even go as far as teaching you where to place these keywords in your blog post and even in bold interlicks. But all that will just end up limiting you to write interesting and well detailed content.
These days even paid keyword research tools exist. Please don't buy them. Some will even try to grab your attention by telling you how to find buyer keywords. Don't fall in for that. Choose a topic.
Video Marketing.
This is another good way to get free internet traffic. And it is free too. All you have to do is create videos related to your free profitable niche idea and then you can upload it to youtube which is the second largest search engine online.
Normally it is said a good youtube video should be atmost 5 minutes. But do you know how much we like giving out when it comes to producing a video? We like to make it feel like a little movie. You know you want to stop and call your mom like Brain Dean does?
Don't be afraid to make your videos 30 minutes and even 1 hour. Normally research has shown people love learning by watching a video rather than writing a lengthy piece of article. So stay there and give it all in your videos.
To help your videos being found you want to use the tag section on youtube correctly. Add preferably long tail keywords as to short tail ones. So instead of saying money online, you want to go in for keywords like free ways to make money online.
You want to also leverage the description section on youtube. Take your time and write a well-detailed description of your video. This might just end up landing you some search traffic. Also, try to encourage people to leave a comment on your videos before they leave since this will help boost your video rankings.
Email marketing.
This is another good source of free internet traffic exploided by many bloggers. Normally this method of getting free internet traffic is recommended by many bloggers. In fact blogger guru Neil Patel calls email marketing a most do for all bloggers. That's for a good reason since every time you write a new post it falls directly into the inbox of your email subscribers.
What is email marketing?
Email marketing is the act of collecting the emails of your readers by offering them the option to subscripe to your newsletters.
How to get email subscribers?
Normally you have very little influence on user engagement. Like, you can't force them to share and comment on your content and to subscribe to your email list. But a good call to action can help the process of users sharing and commenting on your content and even subscribing to your mailing list.
Don't be afraid to ask users directly to share or leave a comment on your content and subscribe to your mailing list. Some good call to action I can think of are don't you think your friends might also want to see this free content, why don't you share it on all your social media network, I don't need your money all I ask is that you share this great content to all your social media networks.
If you have any questions you can leave it in the comment section below. Any suggestions for this post will be highly appreciated in the comment section below. I promise to add to this post to anyone that has more free ways to get free internet traffic. Just leave a comment in the comment section below.
If you need more of this why don't you just subscribe? Give me your email and I promise to deliver the best content right into your inbox.
Try and make sure your email subscription form is visible for everyone to see. Preferably, put your email subscription form at the top of your blog. You can even put one at the bottom of your blog. Don't bury it at the footers of your blog. This is a very important expect of your success as a blogger.
Some bloggers even give out free ebooks, go in for email subscription contests like promising to give the winner to their email subscription a 50$ Amazon gift card. So what they do is tell people to subcribe to their newsletters and they will pick a random winner and the random winner gets the 50$ Amazon gift card.
Email marketing vs content.
Email marketing is a great aspect of getting free internet traffic that you need to exploid to the best of your ability. Whether you want to go in for call to action, write free ebooks, organize an email subscription contest to get people to subscripe to your newsletters, the truth still stays if your free content sucks no one will like to return for more.
The trick and technique stay constant focus on writing great content and people will willingly give you their email to get your content in their inbox. Don't stay there doing research to build an email list when you don't yet know how to produce a great content.
I will strongly advise you read this content over and over again until you see what it takes to write great content surrounding a particular profitable niche idea. Leave comments in the comment section below if you have any questions or concerns and even a new idea will do me a lot of good.
I will really appreciate it if you can share this piece of content on all of your social media networks and subscripe to my email subscription list found right at the top of this blog with the title Join A World Of Gamers. I have more in store for all my email subscribers
Forum Posting.
Forums are also a good source to get some quality targeted free internet traffic.
What are forums?
Forums are online communities gathering people to ask and discuss about a particular topic.
What do people do on forums?
Normally people come on forums to post questions known as threads and they need an answer to their threads.
How to get free internet traffic from forums?
Normally you need to find a forum that has gathered people to post threads and talk about a topic in your niche. You can do a google search on that. Then you want to head over to these forums and follow through the threads and see the ones you can answer to the best of your knowledge.
Don't go in for the yes or no answer. For instance if you find a thread on a forum that says are there free ways to make money online? Don't say yes or even yes there are free ways to make money online.
What you want to do is teach this particular person what it takes to start making money online. Make your answers to forums 1.000 words why not the idle blog post length of 3.000 - 5.000 words and even 10.000 words. remember your answers are available for the public to see.

We analyzed 912 million blog posts to better understand the world of content marketing right now.
Specifically, we looked at how factors like content format, word count and headlines correlate with social media shares and backlinks.
With the help of our data partner BuzzSumo, we uncovered some very interesting findings.
And now it’s time to share what we discovered.
Here is a Summary of Our Key Findings:
1. Long-form content gets an average of 77.2% more links than short articles. Therefore, long-form content appears to be ideal for backlink acquisition.
2. When it comes to social shares, longer content outperforms short blog posts. However, we found diminishing returns for articles that exceed 2,000 words.
3. The vast majority of online content gets few social shares and backlinks. In fact, 94% of all blog posts have zero external links.
4. A small percentage of “Power Posts” get a disproportionate amount of social shares. Specifically, 1.3% of articles generate 75% of all social shares.
5. We found virtually no correlation between backlinks and social shares. This suggests that there’s little crossover between highly-shareable content and content that people link to.
6. Longer headlines are correlated with more social shares. Headlines that are 14-17 words in length generate 76.7% more social shares than short headlines.
7. Question headlines (titles that end with a “?”) get 23.3% more social shares than headlines that don’t end with a question mark.
8. There’s no “best day” to publish a new piece of content. Social shares are distributed evenly among posts published on different days of the week.
9. Lists posts are heavily shared on social media. In fact, list posts get an average of 218% more shares than “how to” posts and 203% more shares than infographics.
10. Certain content formats appear to work best for acquiring backlinks. We found that “Why Posts”, “What Posts” and infographics received 25.8% more links compared to videos and “How-to” posts.
11. The average blog post gets 9.7x more shares than a post published on a B2B site. However, the distribution of shares and links for B2B and B2C publishers appears to be similar.
How to leverage content marketing.
Take you time and read the above data over and over again to know what types of content get shared and bring backlinks.
Content marketing vs content.
To get all the attention a content needs to go viral online, you can not do it alone. You will need to take a lot of time to write epic content that will leave people with no choice but to share, create a link and comment on your content.
What is a viral content?
A viral content is a content that has been shared multiple times, has thousands of comments and thousands of people have linked to this particular content.
How to write a viral content?
Basically what you need to do when thinking of a content you want to go viral is think of an epic content. This is a type of content you do a lot of research to get all your facts straightened up. Then you want to write well-detailed content addressing a particular topic aiding aid factors like pictures, videos, audios, podcasts, infographics and even resources for further studies.
This is a type of content you want to meet up with all the learning types. Some people learn better and find it easy lerning by reading plain text, some by watching videos or listening to audios and yet others by analyzing complicated graphs like infographics in the case of collecting information online.
What you also need to do on your part is to find out how you can present information to the best of your ability. Some people are good writers, some can produce great videos, audios, and podcasts and yet others can bring out information in graphs like infographics. Then you can get the rest done by collecting what others have already done in your niche.
For example, if you are a great writer then you can head over to youtube and find all the free videos and audios related to your niche. Pinterest has great pictures, just do a Google search on free infographic sites and you will find a good number of them.
If you create such a content, you are going to leave people with no choice than to share and link to your content. Take your time one great content is all you will ever need to start making money online today.

There are 2 good Q & A sites you can head over to right now known as Quora and yahoo answer. Follow the roles of answering threats on forums. Not the yes or no answer but a thorough answer to the question will do you a lot of good.
What do people do on Q & A sites?
Normally people head to Q & A sites for various reasons. Some to get a pressing answer to their questions, some to gain knowledge through the questions people are posting and reading through the answers posted by people, and yet others to promote themselves and establish authority in different areas of life by providing great answers based on their field of study.

Guest Posting.
Guest posting still remain the fastest, safest free ways to get free internet traffic.
What is Guest posting?
Guest posting is the art of finding blogs writing free content in your niche and present them with your own free content. So what you have to do is find blogs preferably blogs with already some good number of traffic. And send them an email with your guest post request. Some blogs do have a guest post of submitting posts section.
To ease your finding of blogs that accept guest posts, do a google search on your niche and make a list of all the blogs in your niche and use these search queries on Google.
site:domain.com “submit a guest post”
site:domain.com “guest post by”
site:domain.com “contribute an article”
site:domain.com “want to write”
site:domain.com “submit your post”
site:domain.com “become a contributor”
site:domain.com “accepting guest posts”
The problem with guest posting is that some blog owners place too many hard guidelines on what type of guest post they will accept and many of them never end up accepting guest posts from guest authors on their blogs.
How to find blogs that accept guest post.
All you need to do is google “list of blogs that accept guest posts”, as well as “list of - your keyword - blogs that accept guest posts”.
One of the easiest and most straightforward ways to search for guest blogging websites is to google your search terms.
There are a variety of search terms you can try to help you find numerous websites; basically, you need to start the search with your keywords; for example, if you were looking for marketing blog that accept guest posts, then you’d try various combinations of keywords relate to marketing, such as: marketing, “digital marketing”, “online marketing”, “internet marketing”, “social media marketing”, “content marketing” and so on.
Then, search for these keywords + one of the following search terms:
+ “guest blog”/”guest post”
+ “write for us”
+ “submit an article”/”submit a guest post”
+ “contribute guest post”
+ “contribute to our blog”
+ “become a guest blogger”
+ “guest blogging guidelines”
+ “contributor guidelines”
+ “send a tip”
+ “guest post by”
+ “guest author”
Another way to find relevant guest posting websites is to look at your competitors and to find out where they guest posted before and what high-quality websites they’ve written for.
There are a couple of ways to go about this.
One of the easiest ways is to identify bloggers in the same niche as you who are already guest blogging a lot. You’ll start to notice this when you follow popular blogs in your niche and certain names start popping up again and again but you can also search to see who guest blogged on some of the popular websites in your niche and then look them up to see if that is indeed a strategy they use very often.
You can search for this by using these search queries:
Site:domain.com “guest post by”
Site:domain.com “a guest contribution by”
Once you have a list of names ready, you can then use a backlink tool to see what other backlinks they have – not all of them will be guest blogs, but if you found someone who guest blogs a lot, you’re very likely to find quite a few gems in those lists.
Find their main website (the one their linking to in their guest post and/or their guest post author bio) then use a backlink checker like Monitor Backlinks. Then, simply go through their list of backlinks to find those where they actually guest blogged.
Another method for finding guest posting opportunities is to leverage various tools to help with your research; for example:
Content research tools
Social listening tools
Audience overlap tools
In the case of content research tools, you can use tools like Buzzsumo to look up guest blogs; simply look up your topic keywords + “guest post” or “guest post by”. This will help you find relevant blogs that clearly accept guest posts; the best part is, some of them might not even have a “write for us” page, but as you did find a guest post on their blog, it’s worth reaching out to ask them just in case.
As for social listening tools, some allow you to search the entire web (blogs, social media, forums, news sites, and other content sources) while others focus solely on monitoring social media – both options can yield great results.
For example, you can use social listening tools just like you would on Google; that said, each social listening tool has its own way of doing things and of setting up monitoring searches (some offer, for example, Boolean search which allows you to dig much deeper than a simple keyword search, as it allows you to add different modifiers to your search).
Another handy tool for looking up potential guest posting sites is with a tool that can help you find websites that share an audience or that are very similar between them (you’ll need a website that will be your starting point); for example, Amazon’s Alexa (not the virtual assistant, but rather the marketing software) has 2 different tools that can help with this: Find Similar Sites, for finding websites similar to yours and the Audience Overlap tool which helps you find websites that share an audience.
Although none of these tools were specifically built for this purpose (for finding guest blogging opportunities), they can prove to be very useful to your search.
How to leverage guest posting to get free internet traffic?
Normally the power of guest posting to drive massive free internet traffic to your newly created blog can't be ignored. So here is what you want to do to increase your chances of your free content being featured on a blog that already has internet traffic.
You want to take your time and study a few blogs you are planning to guest post on. Read through their blog posts and get a taste of the style and feel of the contents. Then you want to also read through their comment section and see what readers are saying about contents on these blogs.
Then you want to take your time and write a thorough and well-detailed content and approach these blog owners. The truth is most blog owners always need fresh ideas to help grow their audience especially if you are not asking for money. Write contents that a blog owner can't say no.
What these blog owners will do for you to pay you back for your hard work is to give you a resource box where you can write a short Bio and a link back to your own blog. Some will give you 2 links one back to your blog and one to a social media profile.
The problem is the resource box is usually buried at the bottom of the post that might get very little attention and in effect reduce click through rate back to your blog. So what you want to do to maximize click through rate is add a resource within the body of the guest post directing people back to your own blog.
Social media marketing.
When was the last time you saw a photo of a star getting 2.000.000 likes, 100.000 shares and 500.000 comments on facebook, 200.000 retweets on twitter, 500.000 repins on pinterest, 1.0000.000 likes on instagram 50.000.000 views, 250.000 comments on youtube? In fact, Jennifer Aniston went into Guinness book of records on the fastest-growing instagram account.
So people go on social media to chat with friends, make new friends and keep up with the latest gups and gips about their favorite stars. Nobody is ready for your 3.000 - 5.000 and even 10.000 words blog post on social media.
Giant social media platforms like facebook put an eye on the amount of likes, shares and comments a post is getting. So your boring content to teach people free ways to make money online will do you no good on social media platforms.
But if you insist that you love social media platforms, then you have to join in the fun. Like pages of talk of the day stars on Facebook, join their groups, follow them on Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest. Comment on their posts. By so doing you can get fellow fans to friend you on Facebook, follow you on Twitter, Pinterest, instagram... Then you can insert a link on your profile on these most popular social media platforms. You definitely have some favorite stars or don't you?
Article marketing.
This is yet another good way of getting free internet traffic ignored by many these days. Due to the fact that most articles don't show up on search engine results.
The roles of article marketing are simple. Write short non promotional articles of not less than 450 words and post it on article directories. The good news about article marketing is that website owners looking for free-contents turn to these article directories to get content for their newly created website.
Article directories offer their users with a resource box and a link back to their blog or website. So if newly website owners find your article interesting, they might just want to know you in person and even recommend you for further writing of their free content.
So if you are someone that likes writing then you don't want to leave this source of getting free internet traffic untapped. But do your self a favor if you find writing boring and tiring by leaving this section.
A good article directory you can head over and start posting your articles for free today is ezine. But be warned they have got smart. They will reject articles with poor grammar and punctuation not to talk of spelling errors.
So when you are writing articles on ezine then know you are in an English exam room. They don't use bots to edit their articles but humans. So if you don't want to feel discouraged seeing your articles being rejected over and over again due to slide grammatic errors and incorrect placement of punctuation marks, then I will strongly advice you leave article marketing alone.
Blog Directories.
No one talks about this method of getting free internet traffic these days. There are thousands of sites online that will list your blog on their site for free. But most of them take forever before your blog can be found on their site. Some will never place your blog on their site. Some people go for it these days just for the backlink. If you don't have that time to waste creating free backlinks then leave it and concentrate instead creating great free content.
Free internet traffic vs paid internet traffic.
There are many ways to get paid internet traffic like google adwords, Facebook ads or you can head over to fiverr and buy internet traffic for 5 bucks. But of what good is it spending your money and yet your free content sucks.
Yes if you pay for google adwords, facebook ads or buy a gig on Fiverr you might end up getting some traffic. But what do you do after spending all your hard earned money and everyone just ends up bouncing out of your blog? Don't buy any internet traffic, concentrate on writing great free content.
How to monitize your free content.
This is the part all of you have been waiting. Free ways to make money online from your free content after spending so much time doing research and the hard work you put in to see your first pillar content go live online.
But you want to take care when it comes to making money from your free content. Most people as soon as they start seeing 20 people on their blog they start bombarding it with ads, pop-ups, pop-unders. That will not just reduce the load time of your blog but can drive your readers since they will think you just want their money.
Blogging to make some extra money and even a living online is all about gathering an audience. People are feed up these days with all the scams and lies on the internet so much so that if they sense a little fishy thing on a blog, they will leave as fast as they came.
So what you want to do is take some time and make them feel like they are in the right place. Reply to their comments, answer their questions if they email you.
The best way to monitize your free content is by selling free internet traffic and go in for a paid subscription. These days there are millions of local website owners cropting in from left to right online that are willing to buy internet traffic and go in for paid subscriptions to learn what to do with their local bussinesses online.
But you can start going in for selling internet traffic only after you have a good one yourself.
How much traffic do I need before I can start selling Internet traffic.
The last time I did research on someone selling internet traffic he had 100.000+ monthly visitors. 400.000+ youtube subscribers, 170.000+ Facebook fans, 200.000+ twitter followers, 75.000+ pinterest followers, 120.000+ instagram followers.
So if you are not yet to that number then you want to start thinking about affiliate marketing and even possible google adsense.
What is affiliate marketing?
Affiliate marketing is the art of collecting products from an affiliate site and selling them as an affiliate to earn a commission. The best affiliate site online is clickbank. It pays good commision ranging from 50 - even 80% of the total sales price.
What is a commision?
If I am an affiliate and sell a product say the product price is 20$ and I have a commission rate of 50%. So after selling that product, I get 10$. That money is known as my comminion. And in this case, the product owner is known as the vendor and I the affiliate.
So all you have to do is head over to clickbank.com and create a free account. And they will be busy teaching you how to get all your commissions and you will have to learn how to make the sales.
How do you make sales as an affiliate?
What you want to do is choose a product related to your free profitable niche ideas on ClickBank. Don't just place these products on your blog. That will reduce the click through rate and eventually reduce sales. What you want to do is write reviews about these products following the roles of a thorough and well-detailed content of 3.000 - 5.000 and even 10.000 words and place them on your blog. Then you can insert links throughout this content directing people to your affiliate product.
Most vendors on ClickBank have an affiliate resource website where they provide their affiliates with banner ads, articles, videos, keywords. Move over to these resource sites and you can just copy their banners since most of them take the time to design great banners in all sizes.
