Building your credibility and your Knowledge so that people understand You're someone who can be trusted and Somebody who can actually go ahead and Recommend things to them that they will Go ahead and buy so kind of a conclusion Here there is some real benefits to free Traffic obviously if you go down a paid Traffic Route you have a very very Specific way that you target people in In in paid traffic and you can go ahead And utilize the tools on things like Google ads or YouTube ads to do that it Is way more expensive it is much much Faster I've got to give you that but it Is way more expensive and it can be very Very targeted if you do it correctly There is benefits of doing paid but when You're first starting out winning a Newbie you want to be going down the Free traffic room and then realize the Reason for that is things like it is Very cost effective you have the tool That you maybe need to use to do a video On YouTube but you can go ahead and do That reasonably cheaply and put a video On YouTube for free and you'll start Getting traffic You will get a targeted audience as long As you are concentrating on your Niche And not trying to spread too thinly your Audience will become more and more Targeted they'll be interested in people Like DIY if you do DIY videos or
Blogging and you will get very targeted Audience the long-term benefits are Great because what it'll do is it'll Actually Um you'll you because you're bringing People into your sphere of influence Because you're actually bringing people To get to know you you'll end up having More and more people that trust you long Term so you can actually make sales to People over and over again because they Trust what you're going to say you're Not going to try and rip them off you're Actually going to give them real Products that they can buy they're going To be useful to them again this ties in With this credibility thing the more Advice I give you the more value I give You the more that you know that I'm Going to be trustworthy I'm not going to Try and promote any old rubbish to you For instance if I'm an affiliate Marketer you need to either build up a Really really good credibility if you Use paid traffic they don't really know Who you are because they've just clicked On an ad somewhere if you use free Traffic they might come back more and More more because they're seeing you and It becomes a little bit more organic and You can actually grow like that but you Know it all depends how you actually Treat that the traffic once it gets into Your own sphere of influence
Um and the next one is kind of Greater Control Um you can um control when you actually Publish your your blogs your videos all Of that kind of great stuff and you can Control how often you do it and how much Work you want to put into that to create That free traffic there is a caveat to All of this free traffic does take a While to actually go ahead and and start But once you get it I mean I get about I Get about 500 people a day over to my YouTube channel and I've got various Other traffic sources so you do get a Lot of people that come over and are Interested in your goods and services And it actually is a really good way of Developing a business very very Inexpensively so guys that was just Eight ways there are more ways I will Come feature them in future videos I Hope that is available to you don't Forget to check out the free chat and You'll see the link in the description Below my name is Richard Darby this is Called Nomads until next time take care [Music]
