We’ve been testing different free channels to get early visitors to new sites. Not looking for magic tricks — just seeing what brings real humans in the first days.
Here’s what worked best for me, and how I actually used each platform:
What helped wasn’t posting promo links — it was simply answering the questions my potential users already ask.
Short “here’s how to solve X” posts → people click to check who you are → some visit your site naturally.
Traffic came from taking the time to explain clearly how the product works, why it exists, and what problem it solves.
PH users respond better when the description is transparent and detailed.
Even a modest launch created ongoing visits afterward.
Same principle as LinkedIn, but in video form.
I made quick videos answering questions people search for in my niche.
Nothing fancy — just helpful answers recorded with a clean mic.
These videos keep generating views over time.
Instead of dropping links inside posts (usually useless), I got better results by participating normally, contributing to discussions, and adding my website in my signature.
That alone brought a trickle of steady, legit traffic.
This solution isa matter of spending 5 minutes reviewing someone else’s site.
Another user does the same for you, and the platform generates a clean, human-written backlink.
Light effort, decent early visibility.
That’s what’s been working for us lately.
Curious to hear what others here use for early, free traffic or low-effort backlink sources — always interested in testing new approaches.
