A venture backed startup with millions of dollars in seed funding has a good sized budget for traffic.
But for the average entrepreneur starting an online business that probably isn’t the case.
Here are a couple of free ways to get traffic to your funnel without spending money on paid ads.
1 – Create a Facebook group and add value
Facebook groups are a great place for members of your community/tribe to network with each other and share ideas.
But it’s also a great place to share a link to your funnel. As long as your adding value to the group on a daily basis you shouldn’t have any problem driving traffic to your marketing funnel from a Facebook group you’ve created.
2 – Podcasts
Did you know that being a guest on podcasts is a great way to drive traffic to your funnel?
Most podcast hosts will let you plug your product during their show (usually at the end).
But instead of pitching your product to the show listeners you let them know where they can optin to your lead magnet funnel and get your free gift.
3 – Guest Posting
Guest posting on blogs in your niche is a great way to get in front of another audience and build backlinks. It’s also a greay way to drive traffic to your funnel.
Most bloggers who let you guest blog will allow you to share at least one link to your website inside the bio box at the end of your article.
So instead of sharing with your readers a link to your website’s home page share with them a link to your lead magnet funnel.
Here is an example bio box so you get the idea:
About the Author: Karen Johnson is the founder of WeightLossTips.com. She helps busy moms eat better and lose weight. Check out this link right here for 40+ Keto diet recipes.
Inside the bio box is where you want to give your readers a good reason to click on the link that goes to your lead magnet funnel.
4 – Instagram
The first step is to have a link to your funnel in your Instagram bio.
Once again,you need to make sure your bio is written in a way where people are going to want to click on the link that goes to your sales funnel.

Since you’re not spamming people and you’re providing value people will notice you,visit your Instagram bio and eventually click on the link that points to your sales funnel.
