This week I¡¯m going to cover a bunch of free or cheap-o ways to generate traffic to your website. The focus will be on Web 2.0 methods, as that¡¯s my forte, but we¡¯ll delve into more traditional methods as well.

First, we all know that giving something for free - a ¡°special report,¡± a demo of your software, etc. is a great way to get people to visit your site and opt-in to your list. Hopefully, you¡¯ve thought past that and have something to sell them once they do so (a full report, ebook, software with expanded features, video series, whatever).

And free is awesome, but if you¡¯re still starting from having absolutely no list, who do you even tell that you¡¯ve got a free thing for them?

Here¡¯s one method I¡¯ve used in the past with software demos - you distribute you freebie on the torrents. Give it a catchy name and people will download it, if you¡¯ve provided decent content they¡¯ll like it and visit your site.

Check out the video below to see the exact steps in creating and distributing your file.
