Profit With PLR: Day #5
Why are No PLR Sellers Showing Me How to Drive Traffic?!!
Welcome to Day 5!
If you've made it this far, you will:
Which leaves one last thing... drumroll please...
Driving Traffic!
Yes, once your PLR is all set up, you need traffic to your content so you can build a list, get sales and so on.
Most PLR sellers barely touch on this topic. This is understandable because traffic is a complex topic... and many PLR sellers are clueless themselves.
But I'll tell you the gist of what you need to know.
You can only go 2 ways: Free or Paid
Free traffic is stuff like SEO, video marketing, Pinterest, etc.
Paid traffic is Facebook ads, Pinterest ads, Google Adwords and so on.
With free traffic, you'll be paying with effort and quite a bit of time.
Almost ALWAYS it will take about 6-12 months before your free traffic efforts start snowballing and earning you a monthly income.
So, you MUST be in this for the long haul.
Paid traffic is faster... but you need cash.
You'll also need to go through a learning curve where you lose money as you try and discover how it all works... and until you find a few winning campaigns.
Marketers who use paid ads call this process 'buying data'.
Call it whatever you want, you're still going to feel the pinch when you lose money on paid ads. Nevertheless, you can make it all back and more once you find a winning ad.
Now, whether you pay with time and effort (free traffic)... or... cold, hard cash (paid ads)... make no mistake here...
You're paying for traffic one way or another.
Focus on ONE method
If you're on a tight budget, go with free traffic. I've gotten fantastic results with free traffic.
As long as you get the fundamentals right and stay the course, you'll see trickles of traffic coming in... and it will become an avalanche with time.
What's MOST IMPORTANT here is that you choose ONLY ONE free traffic method and focus all your effort on making it work.
Which Traffic Method Should You Choose?
It will depend on your niche.
For example, if your niche is gardening, visit sites like YouTube, Pinterest, Instagram, etc. and see if there are videos/pins/profiles that are related to your niche.
If there are any, are those web properties getting good engagement?
Yes? Fantastic!
Now that you've determined that the platform is a good fit for your niche, you'll want to study how to generate traffic with it and get started as soon as possible.
I wrote a pack of 5 PLR articles on free Traffic Generation.
Get it and give the articles a good read through.
They're very detailed and will serve as a crash course for you.
Once you've decided on a traffic method you'll use, you must learn it in depth.
With trial and error, a lot of consistent effort and repetition, you'll start driving traffic to your web properties.
While you could scour the net looking for information from different sources, this will be time-consuming process, and half of the stuff out there is outdated and unreliable anyway.
So I've listed a few reliable courses below for the different types of traffic methods.
You only need to get ONE. One course for one traffic method.
Then it's just a matter of applying the information from that course.
This is why you don't see many PLR sellers teaching traffic. The topic is so wide and needs to be covered in-depth... and it all depends on the niche too.
So, you'll need to pick a traffic method that works with your niche.

Don't panic. I wouldn't recommend you rubbish just for a few bucks. Ahem... His Excellency Arun is too cool for that.
Video Marketing
This is an excellent way to drive traffic. It takes time and you'll need to record videos regularly.
Ideally, you should appear on camera. But if you don't wish to, you can use a tool like Pictory or ScreenPal to make videos.
If you're planning to drive traffic with YouTube videos, there's really only ONE course you need and it's by Adam Payne.
Facebook Groups
Facebook groups can bring in quite a bit of qualified traffic, if you know how to build rapport with your members. You don't need any course for this.
You just need to sign up for a Facebook account and create a group. If you don't know how to create a Facebook group, just watch this video.
If you wish to know the finer points about driving traffic with Facebook groups, get my Facebook Marketing PLR.
It's under 10 bucks and has all the info you need... and PLR rights too.
Facebook Groups
Women seem to love this platform and actually do very well with it. It's a visual search engine and you can add links to your sites, affiliate products and so on.
This traffic platform is pretty straightforward. Create attractive pics, optimize your board and description for SEO and link to a congruent page/offer.
You can learn this from my Traffic Generation PLR pack.
If you want a detailed course, McKinzie Bean's Pin to Profits is perfect for you.
Niche Sites
Everybody and their grandma wants a niche site that makes profits on autopilot.
If you're using PLR, you probably have a blog and you're posting PLR content on it. Now you want to know how to rank for keywords, etc.
Organic search engine traffic is the holy grail when it comes to generating free traffic. But your search engine optimization skills need to be on point.
There are several courses such as Authority Hacker and Matt Diggity's Affiliate Lab that can help you here. They're fantastic, but they're not cheap.
The best advice I can give you now is to go to Matthew Woodward's blog and study his free information first.
There's more than enough there to give you a solid grounding in SEO and other niche site related stuff. Master the fundamentals first. The rest comes later.
I intentionally left this method for last. I believe that it's the most difficult of all the platforms to master when it comes to driving traffic.
Some marketers may argue that it's more difficult to convert traffic from Pinterest into clicks... but from what I've seen, Instagram requires way more work.
Instagram is very flashy and you'll notice that people are constantly posing and going to ridiculous lengths to get attention.
That's because the attention-span of the users is fleeting at best.
To make matters worse, the platform makes it extremely difficult for marketers to leverage.
With just one link allowed in the bio (which doesn't even show up in the feed), your ability to use it to drive traffic will be an uphill struggle.
While you're allowed to post a link in your Instagram stories, you'll still need a video. That means appearing on screen and so on.
I strongly suggest you save this traffic method for last... and if you're going to get a course on Instagram traffic, just check out the latest Instagram courses on Udemy.
Their Instagram courses are updated and relatively affordable.
In a Nutshell...
Here's how you go about driving traffic.
1. Choose one traffic method that suits your niche.
2. Get a good course on it and study it well.
3. Apply what you've studied.
4. Keep at it for at least 6-8 months to see results.
5. Once you master one traffic method, maintain it so that you have a steady stream of traffic.
6. Now, and only now, are you ready to start on a new traffic method (while keeping the previous one going).
If you wish to go with paid traffic, once again, you'll need to decide on one proven method and follow the steps above.
My advice: Start with free traffic first.
Congrats! You've Completed the 5-Day Plan!
I know I've given you a ton of information and it may take you more than 5 days to digest it all.
That's ok. Take your time with the training and understand it well. Then apply what you've learned.
