Paid Ads vs. Email vs. Organic vs. SEO

Which traffic source is best for you?

1. Cold email

2. Organic social media

3. Paid advertising

4. Back-end email marketing

5. Affiliates and influencers

6. SEO

The answer is all of them.

However, this is a breakdown of what you should start with.

Cold email works best if you have a tiny budget and don’t know if your offer works yet.

Set up Instantly, run some campaigns, and get a few Gmail accounts to scale up.

Organic social media is supplementary and everyone should be doing it.

You can build a massive brand eventually if you give it a year or two.

Paid advertising is usually the answer for those of you who have at least $10k set aside.

Ads are the rainmaker.

Back-end email marketing is the main solution for brands that have a huge list and aren’t utilizing it.

Some creators, businesses, and brands I know make 40% of their revenue from email marketing.

Affiliates and influencers work really well for some industries like supplements, e-commerce, clothing lines, and coaching/training.

You need to find strategic partnerships that make sense here, so it’s more like organic social…

A slow burn that takes time to develop.

SEO is obviously great once you have some money to hire an expert.

If I had to give a general rule…

Usually, most companies would benefit from more organic social, way more email marketing, and a little bit of paid ads.

That’s all for today,
