If not Facebook, then what? How else to get traffic in 2022

You can get traffic and profitably monetize it not only on Facebook. If we consider specifically free traffic, then in fact it is everywhere: in TikTok, Telegram, YouTube, Vkontakte, etc. Let’s take a closer look at some of these channels.

You should immediately understand that the sites listed above are not suitable for all niches. They show maximum efficiency in:

• dating;
• nutra;
• e-commerce;
• gambling.

At the same time, free traffic needs to be monetized immediately, so the paid action should be as simple as possible (registration, click, etc.) or with a «wow effect» (for example, “Buy a chair – forget about back problems”). And now more specifically.

Getting traffic from YouTube

If you decide to work with YouTube, then iCommerce is best suited for traffic from this channel. After all, it is not in vain that on the site you can find millions of video reviews of purchases from Amazon AliExpress and various:

• flashlights;
• smartphones;
• means for weight loss;
• video cameras;
• fitness bracelets;
• etc.

For minimal promotion of a new channel, you will have to upload about 20-25 videos with high-quality and (preferably) valuable content. The link to the offer must be present in the description of the video or in the comment, which must be pinned after writing.

It is quite logical that in order to get a good amount of traffic from YouTube, according to our scheme, you will have to record videos. In addition to reviews of something, you can create content on the topic:

• unpacking the goods;
• how to do something;
• TOP of…;
• etc.

At the same time, “TOP of …” is a universal category suitable for any promotional offer (the first two can only be used for products). By creating videos on the topic “Best of…”, you can literally adapt to any offer (for example, “Top 40 Slots in 2021” if you are promoting a gambling offer). You can also stream on YouTube. They show the greatest efficiency in promoting gambling offers.

2 types of YouTube accounts to get traffic

To get traffic from YouTube, you can use 2 schemes:

1. Account in the style of “About everything”. Ideal for a personal blog where the author shares his thoughts and impressions about something (products, games, etc.). The conversion from such an account is small, but you can get a lot of subscribers due to the variety of content. By promoting such an account, you can easily work with offers from a variety of verticals.
2. Thematic profile. Accounts of this type do not have many subscribers, but they collect a specific target audience. Thematic profiles have a higher conversion rate, as they are geared towards a specific offer or affiliate program.

YouTube Video Tips

In order for your video to get into the list of recommended for viewing and to be found through the search, you need to optimize it. To implement this, before adding a video, you need to register its tags – keywords, thanks to which the video will be promoted on the platform.

You can collect good tags on your own, but it is much more efficient to use special services – for example, Prozavr (by the way, it is free), with which you can parse tags by direct links to the videos we need or by a specific key.

It is best to add 10-20 tags for each video. It is important to ensure that they are all similar in meaning. That is:

• “fitness bracelet”;
• “fitness bracelet with NFC”;
• “best fitness bracelet for 2021”;
• “fitness bracelets from Xiaomi”;
• etc.

Also remember to name your videos and use your main keywords in your titles. So users will immediately understand what the video is about, and Google and Yandex will index the video.

Getting traffic from TikTok

Today, TikTok is practically the best option for getting free affiliate traffic. But the main problem when working with content is serious moderation. TikTok usually works with dating and product offers, while gambling is much less common. An example workflow is as follows:

1. Purchasing accounts.
2. Filled with videos.
3. A set of at least 1000 subscribers.
4. Inserting an affiliate link into your profile.

You don’t need to use cloaking in TikTok — the site allows you to insert links directly to landing pages, because this content is not viewed and moderators do not block transitions to sites.

Mass-liking and mass-following

In addition to organic traffic on TikTok, you can use video views and subscribers to make a profit. Since all open accounts have public lists of subscribers, mass-following works like this:

1. We find accounts of the desired subject (with our target audience).
2. We subscribe to all subscribers of the found profiles.

Usually, out of 100 subscriptions, you can get 40 clicks to your profile and 10-20 response subscriptions, as well as 2-3 clicks on an affiliate link. For mass-following and mass-liking, it is better to use software and services like: TikTopus, TikStar, Tokker. On average, for effective traffic extraction from 1 profile, you will have to pay 500-1000 rubles/month, which is quite a bit.

Tips for getting shareware traffic on TikTok

To get the maximum profit when working with TikTok, remember the following recommendations:

• use at least 50 accounts, because out of 10 only 1 gets into recommendations and brings traffic;
• you need to publish a video no more than once every 2 hours, since TikTok will quickly notice excessive activity;
• the limit for mass following is 200 subscriptions per day, but it is better to reach 100, as the risks of account freezing increase;
• on the devices you use, you need to disable GEO auto-detection, and in the profiles, specify the countries from which you want to collect traffic;
• if you register accounts, let them lie down for about a day before work;
• it is better to insert a link into the profile a week after filling the account with content.

Traffic from Vkontakte

If you start spamming private messages in VK with your affiliate link, then this approach is a direct road to a ban. Therefore, you will have to extract shareware traffic using spam in all available ways, leaving a link:

• in comments;
• in ads;
• sending it after confirming friendship;
• etc.

Mass liking will also help here. But, firstly, it is immediately clear that one account is not enough to get a good return, and secondly, you will have to use special services and programs for cheating, spam, etc. It’s good that hundreds of them have been created for Vkontakte and there are many tariffs. The TOP of such solutions includes BroBot and VK Tools.

Push ads format

Push ads are an easy and all-purpose traffic type that works worldwide with all basic niches, including nutra. You can work with the ordinary web push and focus on iOS users by launching a calendar and in-page push.

What are the major advantages?

• Subscription to push ads is voluntary.
• Large volumes and all possible GEOs.
• If the user is offline, he will nevertheless get the notification later.
• You can promote broad spheres (but B2B and narrow niches will hardly work).
• Reasonable prices: you can test offers in Tier 3 even with a limited budget.

We recommend choosing ad networks with AI features and algorithms to save time and get the highest possible ROI. For example, at RichAds, you can implement Target CPA, Automated rules, and Micro bidding features. Also, for Everad users, RichAds gives a 10% bonus for the first deposit (promo code EVERAD).

Shareware traffic can be obtained even from a narrowly thematic social network dedicated, for example, to anime. The main thing is to be smart and constantly analyze, test, apply new approaches. That is, the main thing is to never stop there and try to scale!
